Description: 2020: THE RIDE is a year in review in the form of the world’s scariest VR roller coaster. When the economy drops, you drop. When Covid-19 rates speed up, you speed up. Travel through natural disasters, protests and political turmoil in a ride you’ll never forget (no matter how badly you wish you could).
Review: I think most people will agree that 2020 was a shit-show of a ride, so along comes ‘2020: THE RIDE’ to remind us of just how shit it was. This nausea-inducing experience features all the iconic happenings of 2020 from the virus to something to do with American elections. Sticking to the experience itself and not so much the politics of it all I have to say it is well made and really captures what 2020 was. When some whippersnapper comes up to you 50 years from now and asks: “Just how bad was 2020 Granddad?” show them this and be proud you survived it. It’s free, it’s weird, but it does what it needs to do.
