Review: Let’s face it. There are more than enough VR coasters in the Oculus apps store already, so do we really need any more? Well…yes! Not only do I enjoy a nice VR coaster anyway, but Coaster Combat is not just a virtual coaster to ride, its a shooter with some pretty awesome graphics. They could have made this game with basic graphics and the gameplay would have still had been great, but they didn’t and some real effort has been made to make this game truly amazing. While you can play the first one of the 3 coasters for free, playing just a couple of quid for 2 more makes this amazing value for money and unlike every other VR coaster app you are encouraged to ride it over and over again. Not only is Coaster Combat the bets VR coaster app you can buy, but it’s also a pretty exciting game that even has a friends score challenge! They really did think of everything in this game and I would happily pay even more for more tracks.
