It has to be said 'Fake Racing' is a weird one. With its 'pixel-perfect 1-bit renderer' and 'half a car' style in VR it seems as cheaply put together as indie games come. But yet...I found myself having more fun than I would like to admit. The hands-on-steering does take a while to get used to, but in the end, I was enjoying the handful of tracks as well as the tournaments. Heck, I even found myself able to drift-slide around some of the corners which felt great in VR. Having said that VR is clearly a bolt-on here and I feel the game does need to be cheaper given the lack of content. But I did have a few smiles, so I will give it a very cautious thumbs up. Edit - I did try this in normal flat-screen mode with a gamepad and it was a lot more fun.25 found this helpful
[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/jJrPJN0-A3E This game has a very unique art style which I enjoyed. Along with the visuals, the gameplay is pretty interesting as well. It's an arcade racer, but a pretty technical racer. You have to learn the tracks in order to drift around the corners and make the turns without losing too much speed to be competitive in the race. There's only 4 tracks currently and 2 of them are locked until you beat the tournament mode. There's only one vehicle. There's quick race and tournament mode available to play. There is no difficulty setting, although you can set the number of laps, number of AI opponents, whether to use slow-down (I think this may be a sort of difficulty setting where the speed of everyone is slowed down, including yourself). You can also choose to start the track going the opposite direction (doesn't really add much variety though). I think the game needs more tracks, more vehicles, and wheel support. I think the tracks could be more visually distinct as far as the scenery (I do like the current track layouts with different curves & elevations). I also think maybe w…14 found this helpful
This is not a race, but a club of irons in oil. The game has very poorly implemented controls, there are no convenient turns, and sane drift. As a result, the whole game does not turn into a race, but into the control of a car that does not understand how it will behave in the next second. The graphics are the only thing that attracted me. But in fact, it's just one post-process.10 found this helpful
