Nightcrawler VR Bowling

⠀

Nightcrawler VR Bowling is a free VR game that is a single person Bowling alley outside on a city rooftop. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, sounded ok, played ok. It is a funky looking map. The bowling physics model is simple. Not multiplayer. This game looks like a first year coding school project. Try it, if you liked bowling.

Nightcrawler VR Bowling is a VR exclusive 10 pin lane bowling simulator. For some reason the bowling alley you're in surrounded by a skating ramp and other asset flipped paraphenalia like giant eyeballs and speakers. Why? Who knows. The quality here is very, very poor, with missing textures and nonsensical layout. I've seen far better asset flips. 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. Imagine a game so bad that it was made VR exclusive, in the hopes that would prevent people playing it and comparing it to professionally developed games. This was originally priced at $2, but the developer saw the error of their ways and made this free. Even for free, I can't recommend it, and I feel sorry for anyone who paid for this. If you want a decent 10 pin bowling sim on PC, try Premium Bowling or PBA Pro Bowling (2019 or 2021).

This game is way too glitchy, there'll be moments where I'll get a strike, and there wouldn't be pins on the next frame. Stuff like that, at least it runs...

Nightcrawler VR Bowling — увлекательный VR-эксперимент с бильярдом. Погружение на высоте: реалистичная физика, яркий графический стиль и удобное управление через ручки. Игра предлагает как классический бильярд, так и креативные режимы, например, «снежный шар» или «бомба». Минусы: ограниченное количество уровней и отсутствие соревновательного мультиплеера. Подходит для любителей спокойной игры в VR, но не станет шедевром.
