Review: Back in the early years of VR developers didn’t really know what to do with VR and motion controllers were a thing of dreams. So what developers did was use gaze-based controls so you moved in the directing you were facing no controls needed as such. That is what we have with ‘Flow Gear Racing’. This hover-craft style racing game doesn’t really need a controller at all. With gaze-based controls and a massive ship that seems to be 50 times larger than the AI’s. This is a game that needs a LOT of work before it is something I would be recommending. From the basic graphics & terrible control method to the crazy £11.39 asking price, I simply can’t recommend it. If it was a quid or two I might have suggested waiting for an update or two, but at that price, it’s not worth waiting.
