Review: While there isn’t a massive range of VR kart racing games there are a few, all of which are sadly better than Karts Race VR. While the scenery and design of karts are not too bad at all, it is the display on top of the karts that is just the start of this game’s problems. But its biggest issue is the speed of the game. While I do appreciate that it has been kept slow and smooth for a better VR experience, but its just too slow and you will often find yourself running out of fuel and patients. With a few more tracks, an increase in speed and some multiplayer options this game could easily be worth a download. But at the moment it isn’t worth it at all. What I will add is that if you like to support up and coming developers this game is only a couple of quid and well worth chucking some pocket change behind, but consider it more of an investment in a better game in the future rather than a good purchase now.
