ThrustWorks Reviews

Played it in VR. The controls are fairly simple: Each controller moves you forward or backward in the respective controllers direction. Also, you can shoot by pointing your sight-cursor on a turret. Unfortunately, the movement has a mechanical feel to it. There's no gravity, so if you do nothing, you just hangs in the air. Also, the controllers thrust don't affect your direction, so to turn, you have to rotate your head/body. Collecting coins and shooting turrets mostly feels like a chore. There's no animation when the laser hurts the enemy or you pick up coins. The music can't be turned off, which is annoying if you just to cruise around in the world. This is a shame, because the worlds themselves are quite nice. The space level especially stand out, as there is no friction, meaning that you keep moving like you would in actual empty space, making movement far more interesting (albeit a bit chaotic)
