This is a neutral recommendation. Is this a bad game? No. If you enjoy endless runners, then I would say this is an average quality runner. You do get a good workout. It's more of an endurance test versus anything else.

There's only one map. You can choose night or day. You can choose normal or hard difficulty. You use arm-swing locomotion to traverse the obstacle course. You can crouch, dodge left or right, use left / right trigger to change lanes in a three lane highway. You can also jump up by lifting your arm. You basically do this until you decide you're too tired to continue or you lose all your life points.

I was always just too tired to continue on normal difficulty as there was little actual challenge. You collect coins (shields) or health points. You lose a health point if you run into obstacles. There's several different dangers, but they simply consist of timing your dodges, crouches, jumps, or just running by at the right time.

Game is running on the Unreal Engine. On my RTX 3080, on high graphical settings, game was running at a steady 90 fps. I did not experience any serious issues or bugs. The developer promises more content in the future. It's in Early Access so who knows what the future holds for this game. Right now though, it's just your average mediocre endless runner / workout game for VR.

Rate 5.5/10.

VRIKING is an Early Access Paid VR Runner game. It worked on my Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Has 11 steam achievements. Currently, only has one map to run. This game is the work of one person.

Maybe buy it if you like runner type games.

I got a free key for this from the Steam Curator program.

Fun concept - basically subway surfer adjacent VR title
Fun gameplay and definitely a decent workout
Cannot recommend because there is only 1x level currently - with the game being from 2023 I can only assume development is at a standstill
