Noita is an incredible example of Emergent Gameplay in action.
The physics-based world creates dynamic interactions that create novel situations (and untimely death) in every game. Sometimes you can build an incredible wand and spell combo, but the game is at it's best when you can't.

Every game is a pleasure, and I don't want to stop.

Tactical, Challenging, Impact.
It's a good time.

This game is phenomenally fin with friends.
It's Tetris with a little physics.

Recent updates to the game have really improved handling, without dumbing anything down. The developers have put the time into making sure the simple action of controlling the cars is a pleasure.

The game has a charming aesthetic and great music, but the real detail I want to focus on is the game play.
Cranks and Goggles puts an emphasis on gentle analog controls to create the sense of reckless danger. It's tricky to control the cars, but once you get a feel for it, the simple act of taking the car around the track is rewarding on its own.

When it was first released, I found the controls a bit to tricky, but recent updates have smoothed that out.

Negative Review for game as a VR Experience.

I am using an HTC Vive with a Geforce 1080, and the game has issues with smooth HUD movement and depth rendering.
As a VR experience, the game feels bad.

Also, although it's possible to configure a HOTAS to play this game, it's easy to see why it's not recommended. The game is designed as a 6dof FPS, and a Joystick/Throttle setup can't move the turreted guns fast enough to keep up with the action.

If you're looking for an arcadey Space Sim to play in VR, I don't think Everspace will satisfy you.

On the other hand, if you're playing with a keyboard and mouse in Flatland, Everspace has something special to offer.

I've had Skyrim VR for over a year now, and it's the game in my library I can't stop thinking about. Every day I'm looking up mods, reading news, and anticipating my next play session.

Highly recommended.

Update: The developer has updated to game to address some of my concerns. That is *very cool*. 'Easy Mode' has been added, which is still very hard.

RE: Unapproachable Controls: Slight turns are now possible, and a fun drifting mechanic has been implemented. This is a big help.

RE: Powerups and road hazards look similar. Helpful icons have been added over power ups that help differentiate them from hazaards.

RE: Death walls. The walls of the arena electrocute you, and cause damage to your car. A front end collision with a wall is basically a death sentence. This is still a frustrating way to end a match.

Carsteroids is coming along well, but it still feels like an early access game. It's not quite fun yet, though it definitely has the potential to get there.

I am giving this game a positive review based on my experience with the developer, and my confidence in the future of this game.

Updated Review, December 2024 (+):
This App is Still Great. I am now using it with the Quest 3 and Skyrim VR (still).
The default profile for Skyrim activates NaLo when either of my thumbs are on a touch sensor on the edge of the controller, and it works great.
* Easy to avoid accidental activation
* No conflict with existing controls
* Analog Stick Movement works simultaneously

Original Review (+):
Natural Locomotion was a big experiment for me. I was very happy with teleport locomotion for most games, and generally loathe touchpad/gamepad locomotion in VR.... but I heard some good things about NaLo, and I thought it was worth checking out.

Long story short, it's fantastic.

I play predominantly with Skyrim, and it integrates smoothly, doesn't impact my spell-slinging effectiveness, and lets me get more exercise when I play.

I *LOVE* how well this works.

This game is amazing. If you have any hesitations, try the demo.

The characters, story and environment are hilarious, and the gameplay is solid. It's a must-have.
This is one of the best games was designed for VR from the ground up, and fully leverages the immersion, but it's not for the faint of heart. The game has solid challenge and tense moments.

The cars drive *terribly* and with uncontrollable cars, there's uncontrollable combat.
Also, there's no variation to the gameplay... it's arena battle only, no racing.
Also, the weapon balance is poor.

I gave 45 minuted to Combat Racers, and that was plenty. I don't think there's anything this game does well.
