Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who are sensitive to motion sickness may hit a wall during the freestyle maneuvers, especially when using grip buttons.
- Users seeking a polished, finished presentation may bounce off the early-development state, placeholder assets, and known wheel-visual glitches.
- Players looking for conventional car or kart racing may not want controller-based monowheel movement.
- Solo players seeking a primarily single-player experience may find the multiplayer focus unsuitable.
Our take on Throttle Powah VR
The likely bounce point arrives during freestyle play: grip-button maneuvers can cause motion sickness, particularly for players who are not accustomed to demanding VR movement. The unfinished presentation, including placeholder assets and occasional wheel flickering, is a second hurdle for players expecting polish.
What is Throttle Powah VR?
Throttle Powah is a multiplayer VR racing and freestyle game in which each tracked controller becomes a motorized monowheel rocket.
Players race across an open-world map containing tracks, ramps, circuits, and a soccer arena, while performing jumps and other maneuvers influenced by snowboarding, skating, and motocross. The soccer mode uses physics-based ball play and supports scoring goals. Online play connects through servers in North America, Europe, or South America, with racing, smoke effects, and online leaderboards. The game is in early development, with some 3D models and textures still being replaced or completed. It currently works with HTC Vive and Oculus devices.
