Neon Seoul: Outrun

Neon Seoul: Outrun

One hell of a game. I put a box fan in front of me and experienced future synthwave moto racing bliss. With a few more tracks and a mode where you have opponents keeping pace with you and this game could vault to top 5 of all time. Would love to be able to add a local sound track while keeping in game sounds. The existing sound track is good though. What a rush. So much potential I sure hope the word spreads and this game blows up big time. If you liked Tron or Blade Runner, you’re going to flip out over the incredible environment they created. Playing Redout I got nauseous pretty quick but I was able to play Neon Seoul continuously without feeling queazy at all. Very impressed.

This is one of my favourite VR games. You control the bike only with your headset motions, and it makes it really fun to play. The game look and music is superb.

It’s a bit hard to play, so requires better introduction to newcomers. But once you understand the mechanics, the gameplay becomes really addicting and fun.

There is not that much content, but the developer promised to add more cool features in future. I recommend it!

V-Racer Hoverbike

V-Racer Hoverbike

I think, like most, I came to V-Racer in the Summer Sale hoping to flesh out a collection of VR titles with their prices effectively shrunk to reasonable levels- and I honestly was expecting a short amount of thrills and then to move on. V-racer ended up being not just a surprising hidden gem in the VR library, but an intensely thrilling experience I came back to again and again – once you ignore the developers rather baffling default setup.

At first I figured the lean-to-turn mechanics would just take some getting used to. But they didn’t. Not only were they a poor simulacrum of riding, but your neck will feel like you just feel down a flight of wooden stairs. Shockingly, perhaps even bafflingly there is a “experimental mode” that emulates holding a bike’s handlebars - AND THE GAME INSTANTLY BECOMES A 9. Now to the dev’s credit there are a ton of control methods, but why the method you would instinctively want in a hover bike VR game is off by default and listed as experimental is tragic, because it almost made me give up on the game and move on. Instead, I can lean and dodge, scoop up an emp blast so no one else can use it on me, brake hard on the chicane, quickly chew up the power-up for energy right before snagging a Turbo blast and be home in time for the podium celebration.

If you are a fan of Moto GP and Wipeout or just Motorcycle Racing, this game is for you. It is strangely sim-like for an arcade game. If you activate the option of the horizon rolling with the bike and put the slider to the max. I believe that it reproduce the axact behavior of racing motorcycle for real. I race motorcycle as an amateur for the past 8 years and this game may not be was I was looking for in term of visual or physic (no transmission, no suspension, no tires), but nothing comes closer to actually race motorcycle. The game is well balanced and the combat part is not annoying, nor frustrating it is just a nice diversion while you race (the tracks are actually very technical and it will take some 40 laps to master). The developpers are really listening to their customers and have implemented everything that I wished for in less than a week. They are relly improving this game fast. Note : I play the game on my real motorcyle ZX6R on a custom stand and it is great. The way you position yourself to play it should match the real thing for maximum immersion. I was really frustrated by the lack of VR support for TT Isle of Man but this game is probably better in the end cause they have physical lean to control the bike and twist the wrist for gas. If you can, gradually turn the lean slider (in comfort options) for the best racing experience in VR. I have Assto Corsa VR, Project Cars 2 VR, Raceroom VR, iRacing VR and rFactor2 VR and this game is my favorite (probably because I prefer motorcycles). And dev are experimenting with more extreme tracks with hills, jumps, loops, banking, so in the future this game will even be better.

Initial play-through of all major content in the game took about 4-5 hours, once I started to go for highscores on tracks, my playtime exceeded 40 hours lol

Though rather simple, it is a very polished game in all regards and pretty much nails everything it attempts to do.

+Great Visuals

+Good Soundtrack

+Solid Controls

+Difficult, but not unfair at any point time.

Overall, great game, if you like challenging platformer style games I would recommend this one for sure, especially if you enjoy leaderboard competition.

A really nice and addicting arcade game. It seems very simple at the start. You have a bike with two rotatable color coded wheels and you have to grind rails with the wheel of the corresponding color.

But, as the game progresses, new hazard are added to tracks to increase the challenge. Also, every few tracks you get new bikes that behave very differently from each other, so you have to adapt to multiple playstyles.

The main goal is to reach the end of the track by finding a perfect route. The arcade part comes in the score you get at the end of the track for flips, tricks and combos, and hunting for Diamond trophies can get really addicting. You also unlock 2 bonus missions per track after beating it, giving it some replay value.

TL;DR An incredibly fun and addicting super speed reflex game.

Your job in this game is to go fast. Really fast. Faster than your brain can think, kinds of fast. You need to avoid obstacles at ridiculous speeds while trying your best to score some points for tricks along the way. This game is an arcade type game from the start, just get a better highscore. But the way it’s done is incredible and it really makes want to keep playing in a sort of “Just One More Run” type of way.

The game starts off pretty easy but gets progressively harder as you improve. This keeps the game feeling fresh even after long play sessions because of how the game scales with you. Well most of the time that is. You’ll start off at a low speed of 100 km/h and slowly make your way up, but if you ever die you can respawn at the last 100 that you got up until 700 km/h (For instance, you die at 450 km/h, the next you can start at 400 km/h rather than 100 km/h). This keeps the pacing of the game quite good, for you don’t have to be perfect in every lower speed level just you have a chance at the next high speed. Most of the time.

Extremely entertaining obstacle-avoiding game with a great “just one more try” feeling.

Mechanics are really simple to understand: the bike move on its own and you can either dodge left/right or drift left/right in order to change directions. You can also jump in order to make stunts through direction inputs.

You start at a speed of 100km/h and it slowly increases. Using stunts, drifting and using speedboosts on the road can increase the speed even faster. After every 100km/h cap (i.e. 200, 300, 400…) the game saves your progress and once you die you can start at the last goal achieved. This is applied up to 700km/h.

In general, a good platformer. You have to fight hordes of hungry creatures, to resist an army of robots. Quite good voice acting and musical accompaniment, the game has very good animation of movements, the gameplay is on the verge of tactics and action.
