Galaxy Race

You can watch my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/x0SYKNaB5yg [h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] Galaxy Race VR is so boring to play that compared to it, Sprint Vector should be VR Game of the Decade. This is a case where less is A LOT less. So even though Sprint Vector costs considerably more, it feels like a bargain compared to this mess. Luckily, I got this game in a VR bundle (cough indie cough gala) for about .50 cents USD. This game currently feels like a demo. There are only 3 tracks on arcade mode. There is no campaign mode, there is no multiplayer, there are no other modes other than the tutorial. The game ran smoothly most of the time, but I did notice some random frame rate drops and stutters in my about 45 minutes of play time. I also experienced this bizarre bug where my racing disc just stopped mid-race and wouldn't move forward (I finally was able to make it go backwards and move sideways to get into an area that allowed me to go forward). I found the racing to be dull & uninspired. I don't know why, but I had to lean forward way forward to get the acceleration going at full speed. This made most of the game for me just looking …

Galaxy Race, developed and published by Magic VR, is a futuristic VR-exclusive racing title that places players on hoverboard-like vehicles known as GraviDecks and propels them through neon-lit tracks across an intergalactic setting. The concept is immediately appealing to fans of sci-fi and virtual reality, blending elements of high-speed racing with arcade-style chaos. With power-ups, traps, and fast maneuvering all forming core parts of the experience, Galaxy Race strives to deliver adrenaline-fueled competition in a genre that’s still relatively underrepresented in VR. However, its ambitions are not always matched by execution, and while there’s some enjoyment to be found, the game often stumbles in its delivery. From a visual standpoint, the game presents a serviceable—if not particularly groundbreaking—aesthetic. Tracks are vibrantly colored, with stylized sci-fi backdrops and flashing indicators that attempt to communicate speed and danger. The environments include space-themed corridors, planetary landscapes, and glowing tunnels that offer a decent sense of immersion. That said, the graphical fidelity doesn’t always meet the standard that many VR players might expect. Text…

Good game! Not enough contents but what's there is enjoyable. You can turn while strafing and do all those Wipeout things.

I cannot recommend it as a full game. Only single player after 2 years, still no updates. Absolutely lacking content, it's only 3 tracks long. But what it does do is prove that you can have fast motion in a VR game without instant nausea. I don't know how they do it, My guess is the whole, "using your body like a control stick" somehow fools your inner ear. Or at least it fooled mine. So it still gets a thumbs up from me, but only if you go into it knowing what you're getting.

The tutorial was fun. but the game itself has NOTHING of what's promised here/ the tutorial, no charecters, the campaign doesn't actually work, and all the races are the same

Game mechanics need polish to be playable. Good start if they can make controls more simple would be a fine game for some but mostly unplayable at this stage. Update needed!
