Description: The Rail Adventures VR Tech Demo is a free product, showcasing the upcoming action game Rail Adventures. In Rail Adventures you race in a minecart on railways, through various epic environments, facing various obstacles and challenges. In this tech demo, you race through one of the epic environments that will be part of the game and get to experience the beautiful views. The purpose of this tech demo is for us to gather feedback and make sure we are developing the VR side of the game in the right direction. It is also a great experience to enjoy on your Vive.
Review: Much like its name suggests this is little more than a VR Tech Demo than a full demo, but if you ask me Rail Adventures had some real promise. It looks great and feels OK to play with jumping and leaning like the mine cart scene in Indiana Jones. But sadly it is over way too quickly and why on earth is there no controller or full-motion controller support? So is this worth a look? I say yes, even if it’s just to see how good a rollercoaster game could be. But its a very good job it’s free because even the smallest of costs would have been very off-putting.
