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.

Space Ribbon - Slipstream to the Extreme

Cool and original game!

It’s like racing on a roller coaster track in space :-)

Single player: Campaign with three speed classes.

Multiplayer: Up to 4 players can play in splitscreen and optionally 1 of the players can play as the paver which creates the track.

Racing

Slipstream:

The core mechanic is using slipstream to boost your speed which makes it possible to catch up and often makes the races very intense close to the finish line.

Side barrier:

Another “mechanic” is the side barrier. STAY away from it as it tends to slow you down a lot. It’s better to ease off on the gas and make a corner than smashing into the side.

For my first Early Access game, this is pretty darn good. Not a bad way to go for $1 during the Steam Summer Sale. There does exist some balancing issues, which can make the game frustrating at times, but overall, it is all I ever hoped for in this game as an Early Access title. It’s a good way to start. Oh, and the demo doesn’t do the game justice. Developer, please remove the demo or update it please!

If you start a race with a mouse/keyboard, it locks you out of the Xinput controls (such as an Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller). It doesn’t allow you to switch on-the-fly or on-demand. You either have to exit the Grand Prix or restart the game to make sure to use the other control scheme. My prefered method of control is a controller, not keyboard/mouse.

Initial Drift Online

Initial Drift Online

Initial Drift Online is of course using the hype of Initial D.

In this game you can easily find the best and most popular cars of the 80s', 90s' and 00s'

Video settings can be customised and it is easy to do so, therefore you don’t have to worry about your PC not running it.

Mouse&keyboard controls are easy, but won’t give you the best experience - my recommendation is a good, solid controller. Steering wheel controlling is buggy and may not work in some cases.

The starting AE86 is very weak and it heavily understeers, so don’t worry that you can’t get any good drifts or slides. Remember to change your suspension and wheel camber for the best experience!

My first impressions were rough. The brakes make you skid into everything, the steering is twitchy with horrendous understeer AND snap oversteer, but I found the tofu shop and accepted the tofu delivery jobs, driving the passes over and over (and over and over) again.

I spent some tofu money on better brakes and engine upgrades so the car was definitely faster, and thanks to suspension tweaks it handles more to my liking too, and the more I drive the better the car gets.

It’s not better just because I’m getting better at the game either, it’s because this game has a level up system.

pretty fun game for the price, controls are kinda boring and very similar in most events and the graphics are pretty bad. But there are a lot of events and still a decently fun game. Reminds me a bit of London 2012 although that game is a lot better

if this was called special olympics it would be overselling itself….thought it was for a moment because i thought i was gone deaf, turns out there is no sound at all in the game.

Alright, so… I have trained using other virtual alternatives in the past, but they’re normally half way there on being a cycling simulator and half way being a game, so I personally prefer to just train while watching to youtube videos… Then I played this game! I am in love that they made this 100% a video-game in which you happen to train, I got trashed in about 30 minutes of playing and even threw a 1000+ watts sprint out of sored legs…. just because I wanted to respawn, lol!!!! I’m looking forward to have a lot more people on the servers so it doesn’t matter how weak the bots are, this can be a very competitive cycling/gaming scene!

This is test product really. Nauseating to play in VR sometimes even for my guts of steel. I don’t really see the point of playing a VR game in this perspective either. Controls are annoying, just not a finished product what else can I say? Oh actually, might be top for most lacklustre end to the game. You win a feel nothing trust me :-)

It has what it promised. I brought this to practice for real fpv. It does feel natural once you calibrate to your own quad (and this is a BIG thing). It has a very detailed and precise adjustements for the quad dimensions, weight… The presets are fun to discover possible new real drones to buy. The moving objects are quite fun to practice chasing around.

The only thing I might say it needs a bit more work is the map editor. But is okay once you get used to it and the good thing is that has the option to edit rather than not have it.

WHERE IS THE CHASING TO FOLLOWING THE CAR? IT MISSING ON THE GAME,..this game was wasting my money,..

Really fun to fly in this sim, its like a bare bones version of Velocidrone, you can change your rates and play with physics. There are a few bugs. E.g. OSD settings reset every time you change maps and if you get stuck in colission like tree leaves theres no reset button so you have to exit the map then redo your osd settings and reenter the map. But other then that I love this sim!
