Dart Racer

I had a few performance issues on the cloud and desert tracks in VR, those tracks seemed the most simple looking ones too and weren't very exciting, the other tracks that I tried were better and more fun and more optimized, I did get a refund in the end because of the fps drops I was getting on the said tracks, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on the game and hoping for more interesting tracks to be added, I think it could become a very good game eventually.

Now this is dart racing! also hotas support is real hype!

As an early Access game with more to come, I would say it's very decent but still needs some touches to make it fun for the long run.

The racing is really fun, and it feels great to manage momentum and boost. Only 2 negatives for me are my inability to be good with split thrust (skill issue), and the lack of varied and difficult maps. Over the course of early access, I hope the maps added have more environments and twistier turns (perhaps even workshop support).

It's [i]fine[/i] on Desktop/Controller. I am choosing "recommend", because I think this game [i]could[/i] be good, not because [i]it is[/i] good. Actual greatness is likely several years of development away. The good: - the track design is fun and triggers my nostalgia. - the ship designs are great visually. The meh..: - Strafing feels like an addition that exists "because other games in the genre have strafing", not because it actually adds to the gameplay experience, as it is practically useless or even harmful. - Ships are so agile that air-braking is redundant as well, trivializing the racing experience. (it's more like "chill driving" than "racing") - Textures for both ships and tracks need more love. -- I think the track is supposed to look like asphalt patches, but it just looks bad. - The OST is unremarkable at best, and actively irritating at worst. (the trailer song being the worst offender) - There are ~5 songs in the OST. - The mixed use of angular and spherical design in the UI feels aimless. - Controller navigation is clunky, the UI clearly was designed for pointer devices (mouse / VR). Some UI-buttons do nothing when using a Controller. - Ship customization applies…

off to a great start! keep it up team! galactic racer is on the way, and i still see the appeal for a N64 style. add a few overlapping systems for progression; tracks, and this is good to go. The new leaderboards are sick! online stake racing would be cool for the late game.
