Rocket Skates VR

I really want to like this game, and I really hope it will get there, but it's not there yet, for two reasons I think. 1: Movement/translation. In this game you are free to move in both directions, i.e. forwards/backwards, and left/right. In contrast, roller skate, blades, ice skates, skis, snowboards, skateboards and so on all let you move easily forwards/backwards, but resist movement sideways. For this reason it feels less like skating and more like being on a tray with castors, or sliding over ball bearings. 2: Rotation/turning. The only way to turn in the game is to rotate your head, or lift your feet and turn your whole body. One of the joys of real skating/skiing etc is the way in which you can turn with minimal movement, simply by leaning, without having to lift your feet. I would love it if you could turn in the game in a similar way, by leaning your head or hands but leaving your feet planted and staying facing forward. Furthermore, there is no moment arm on the rocket, it only ever moves you in translation. Holding it at arms' length in front of you, pointing sideways, ought to spin you around, but it only makes you slide to the side, still facing ahead, so you ca…

I think this would be a good party game to see whom gets the best time. However, there is not much to do here. If you're playing alone you may have some fun for about an hour and then you may or may never pick it up again. I went through all 5 levels within 40 minutes. I started with the slow level and then jumped into mid and super fast. I'm not going to lie, it's fun but because the content is so sparse you feel like what else is there ... I played it on the HP Reverb G2 WMR which worked for the most part. You have to use the hamburger menu ( button with 3 lines ) on the left WMR controller to get back to the menu and use the trigger to confirm selections. I noticed that online video show two rockets, one per hand but for me only the left hand rocket shows up and I have no access to weapons as far as I can tell. I had no problem just using the left hand controller to navigate but it felt weird that I was just using one rocket to move along the track. Other than that, it's well made and the controls are very responsive. Even at the fastest setting, I was able to maintain control without crashing into the walls. I recommend it if you can pick it up on sale. This game has grea…

It's fun for 5 minutes speeding along those serpentines but then it becomes repetitive with those uninspired tracks and no sense of progression or need to master anything in the game.

This game isn't suitable for Steam Deck: controls don't work.

no
