Arcadey skiing VR game with the looks and quality of cheap mobile game. Even free experience Tahko Aline Ski has better gameplay and it was just an ad for the resort. For some reason I can't see any reviews for this game on its Steam page. Is this a bug, or no one even wanted to try it out?) Pros: + It provides at least some feeling of speed, bumping into trees or rocks can startle Cons: - Broken height calibration: I've spent the whole game floating way above the ground - There is barely any sound for players movement.

There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision.

This seems to have been made a VR exclusive to prevent any comparison with non-VR 3D games, a comparison that this game would fail very badly at. Developers must learn that while VR is great, if the only thing that makes the game great is the VR, then the game isn't great at all. These technical defects pu…
