Dash Dash World

Dash Dash World

I have tried nearly every VR kart racer trying to get that Mario Kart fix in VR. Everything I had tried previously has fallen woefully short of the mark, but this game has impressed me so far.

The courses are detailed and interesting with lots going on including active stage hazard to dodge and include shortcuts, alternate routes, boost pads etc. About half of the courses are marked extreme and these are my favorites, they have lots of verticality like the anti-grav sections of MK8.

Weapon selection is good and the interactivity of the weapons is a lot of fun. You can counter some attacks, certain exploding weapons for instance that stick to you can be shaken off with your hands before they explode or items like the eggs that stick to your face can be quickly wiped off to negate their effects. Also the minimap allows you to see long range attacks coming and move over to dodge, which is a nice improvement, feels a bit more skill based to dodge so I appreciate this touch.

Tl;Dr: This is truly THE Mario Kart in VR. From customisation options to single player content to control schemes, you WANT this in your library.

I’ve been playing Dash Dash World since the Beta on the Oculus store. The game still lives up to all the promises it’s been aiming to keep since the beta and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.

For starters, there are a wide amount of control schemes to pick from. From simple analog stick controls allowing you to duel wield items like a mad man, to proper racing setups (although from word of mouth, it could use a bit of tweaking for it to reach some fun results). You can also enable Immersive controls which let you use your controllers to steer. You can also swap which hand you’d like to steer more while aiming with your right hand.

(Early Access Review. As an early access release, you may experience bugs, content, interface and optimization changes. If you are not excited to play the title in its current state and to help support the title to full release by reporting bugs and requesting additional content, you may want to wait for further development)

Introducing a remarkable family-friendly couch potato game that is jam-packed full of frantic single-player and multiplayer fun. What exactly is it you might ask? It is a combination of a time trial racer and brawler with a ton of spicy action! Take control of a character from one of the 4 available; if more than one person chooses the same character they will have a different color assigned, unless you or they have unlocked any more skins. No matter what game mode you play, you will need to grab pinatas spread around the tracks that contain buffs/debuffs (with random contents). They will either give you a weapon or a boost to use to gain an advantage.

Before I bash the

! censored out of this game, can we take a minute and talk about time trial mode?

Why, the

! CENSORED, do you immediately take a -1s penalty on your first lap, because the lap timer starts counting before your character can even move?

I wouldn’t normally complain about something so small and petty… but this game’s time trial mode probably wasn’t even tested. Or it was tested by a

! censoreding TAS.

The turning circles for each character are awful.

Auto Age: Standoff

A ton more fun than I was expecting.

Full disclosure, I am an indie dev living near where Phantom Compass is located, so I knew about the game and was given a free copy. Very surprised at how fluid and smooth and most of all FUN the cars are to drive. I absolutely love the way the little cars handle. It has that perfect “arcady, videogamey” vibe, where teh cars aren’t striving to feel realistic, they are striving for teh best player experiance possible, which I personally think is teh best way to go about this type of locomotion based game. They really did a great job tweaking the cars, and probably my favrit part about teh game is drifting around and boosting into teh air, feels so slick.

This is not a combat-racing game. vehicular brawling, varied classes/styles and weaponry, arenas, aesthetic; this is a car combat game - Auto Age is this in essence, and it’s not too shabby.

In my opinion, the last proper car-combat game was Twisted Metal for the PS3 released back in 2012, and when there are far too few games released apart from the Twisted Metal franchise that fit the bill for being considered part of the car-combat (sub)genre, and to date, as an indie title, Auto Age: Standoff covers the bases to officially be a part of the lineup and not be cringeworthy in 2018.

Very cute game! I like the campaign approach of the game, going through the story in the form of levels was pretty fun!

There was that one level in the campaign that I really really enjoyed and caught me off guard, not gonna spoil what was it, but you’ll know which one I’m referring to when you get to it!

I think the price is about right for the amount of content the game has right now; crossing fingers the rest of the story will be released in a future update.

Nice game, enjoyed it a lot.

The colors are amazing and the overall feeling of the game is pretty nice.

Didn’t manage to finish the game yet, cause the bots keep shooting me with rockets, guess I’m the noob here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Simple game play but fun. Nothing too difficult but will take a few hours to complete. Good time waster on the side.

Real player with 12.9 hrs in game

Hero Express is a simple-to-learn, but difficult to master, arcade-style 2D side-scrolling driving survival game that features 11 different tracks with 11 different vehicles. I had personally played a mobile game with a similar feel a few years ago, and I am happy to have the same type of gameplay on PC with nicely worked pixel graphics and a difficulty curve that allows the most casual players to enjoy the game, while still presenting a challenge to those who consider themselves fairly good at arcade-style games.
