Apocalypse Rider

There is one very annoying bug: Everytime you are supposed to get onto the bike, it is placed a bit in front of you. So you have to walk a couple of steps forward. Do this three times and you are out of your VR area. Apart from that the game is ok, the graphics are below average. Steering with leaning was fine, could have been a bit more sensitive...

This game is good, however, dev abandoned it and cheevs don't work. Sad.

As a mobile game, I could see this being just good enough to earn a positive review. But for VR, no way. Not even at a cheap price. I played it for a few minutes, and immediately decided it needed to go in my "NO" Steam category. But then many months later I felt kinda bad, like I hadn't given it a fair shake. Plus it has elements I like, like motorcycles, VR, the apocalypse and stuff. Maybe I missed something. Maybe I didn't play long enough. I gave it another try for the better part of 30 minutes. No. I was right the first time. It's boring. The graphics are fair enough for a mobile game, but no f*%&cking way good enough for VR. Likewise with the controls. The progression scheme is also super boilerplate - you do a race, you earn some money, you buys upgrades (like better speed, better handling, better acceleration, and that's about it, from what I've seen), you inch your way towards the upgrade that will get you a bike juuuust fast enough to beat the current toughest race on your lineup. Repeat. I'm sorry to say it, but this game just isn't good.

Got this cheap in a bundle way back when for effectively less than $0.50, where it's sat on my backlog ever since. Played it today and it's not terrible... not great either, but for the price I paid, it has decent enough graphics, a good gameplay loop with maps/challenges to progress through, some unlockable upgrades... more than I was expecting honestly. Bonus, decent shoulder workout just standing there like Frankestein's monster. I believe there's more fun to be had out in VR for $4, but for the price I paid, I got sufficient enjoyment out of it to give a THUMBS: UP!

This game is super beta. Like 2015 tech demo beta. Not worth the download.
