Is Galaxy Race worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR players who want races controlled through body movement rather than conventional steering
- Racing fans who enjoy using weapons and defensive items against opponents
- Players who prefer short competitive runs across sci-fi tracks over quests and environmental puzzles
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a large selection of tracks may hit the limit of the game's stated quality-over-quantity approach.
- Players who do not want to learn motion-based steering may hit a wall when body balance becomes part of controlling the rider.
- Players looking for a traditional kart or car racing simulator may find the hoverboards and weapon pickups outside that scope.
Our take on Galaxy Race
The likely sticking point is the GraviMotion control system: players who cannot get comfortable steering with body movement and balance may struggle before the racing and item combat can click. The vendor gives no further detail about how the steering technique is taught.
What is Galaxy Race?
Galaxy Race is a virtual reality sports racing game.
Players choose from a small cast of characters and ride GraviDeck hoverboards on tracks set across a galaxy. Body balance and motion-based steering control the rider, while pickups provide items such as throwing discs, mines, shields, and speed boosts to use against rivals. The races combine speed with weapon use, and the tracks include detailed scenery. The game also invites players to experiment with different actions after completing races. Its focus is on competitive racing, motion controls, and using an assortment of items during runs.
