Wicked Rails VR

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/6bNw4lTF8NI This is a mix of a VR rollercoaster with some added gameplay elements. You'll be reaching around, ducking, slowing the cart, throwing rocks to break barriers and bombs to explode pipes. You have to survive to the end and have enough gems to safely escape. I want to estimate it takes 8-10 minutes (I only got to the end once, but didn't time it). However, you'll probably die at least a time or two before pulling that off. Unfortunately, the ride itself isn't all that memorable. The gameplay elements aren't interesting enough either. The game is running on the Unreal Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 frames per second. You can play comfortable seated, but you will need to be able to reach around (standing room). There is some replay value as there are different paths to take and dangers to avoid or high score to achieve. Overall, I would say this rollercoaster is just a bit better than average. It's not horrible by any stretch of the imagination. However, there are much better VR rollercoasters out there. I would only recommend this to VR rollercoasters…

Impressions Video with Commentary // Oculus Rift S // RTX 2070 Super: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ_WcYJp_iI My Initial Impressions: A cheap roller coaster ride in VR that has you collecting gems and shooting bombs. Graphics are nice and the coaster is super smooth, but the game is lacking ideas and longevity. I long for a really good Roller Coaster Adventure, similar to 'Rush Of Blood' for the PC. Sadly we are not there yet and I still think 'Coaster Combat' it's a lot better concept for now.

It didn't work with Windows Mixed Reality. The start button didn't work. I tried several things including resetting SteamVR controller mappings. I could see the first level and the area around me and when I pressed the grip button, it throwed rocks. Apart from that, there was't much to do. I use Samsung Odyssey+ WMR headset and I can normally play 99 percent of steamvr games directly or sometimes using htc vive controller settings without an issue. So, I think this game has a problem to be fixed.

I spent some time wrestling with this and then gave up. 1) Index controllers don't work. The devs have left YOU to program them using the bindings software. Seems lazy to me given that it would have been easier for them to do it using UE4. 2) No checkpoints. No way to skip cutscenes. On the fourth attempt you will get sick of hearing that stupid goblin taking you through your tutorial over and over again.

After adjusting the controls so I can use my Valve Index controllers, I can finally give out a quick review. i find the game simple and easy to pick up, a fun little roller coaster ride to pass the time.
