7/10 Pros: - First run feels realistic, the every time I went off a new jump I felt like I was actually falling. - Responsive gameplay, once you figure out how to use the controls well, it is easy to feel like a pro skiier. - Graphics are cartoony, but well done. Cons: - There is only one track, and there is no finish line, once you get to the end it just repeats the course. - Music is repetitive and cannot be turned off. - Feels more like a demo to a full game. Overall it was fun to play, and I like to use my Vive to show off VR to my friends, this game has become a quick favorite for new players.

I don't know if this game is called Fancy Skiing, or Fantasy Skiing, I'd call it Crap my pants Skiing. To descibe this game in a word... YEEEEEHAAA! The very first jump had me closing my eyes and screaming like a little girl with a scraped knee. And as the movie quote goes "There's nothing worse than seeing a fat man weep"! Speed, heck yeah, Jumps, yeah baby, Obstacles, definitely, Feeling like you're going to die, priceless. Definitely pre-beta material but I give it a 10 on the fun scale. Get my skis pointed in the direction I'm moving and this will be my new go to game to show off my Vive! Viva la Vive!

A buggy mess, at least on the Oculus. Don't bother. For perhaps the only decent skiing game that's currently out, download the environment for the SteamVR Home called "downhill skiing". It's also free, unlike this one I'm reviewing.

The price is a complete rip-off. While the game can be fun, there's nothing to it other than repeatedly going down the same course over and over. It kept my attention for all of 12 minutes before I was bored with it. Also, the controls are not ideal. You steer by tilting your head. Not moving it, tilting it. As in, tilt your head 45 degrees to the right to go right. It would be far more intuitive, I think, to have you tilt the controllers as you would with skipoles when actually skiing, although I suppose that might take away from the sense of speed some. For $2.99 it would be alright, but for $10 it's a joke.

Yeah, I guess it is fine. It feels like a mobile app though. There isn't much to it. There is only one track, and only one mode. You just...do that thing...It is a nice getaway for after you play something creepy. But, I just wish there was more to it. Another track, another mode, just anything else.

This is the kind of game I've been waiting for. It's fast and it's going downhill (in a good way). It's an arcade type game, you try to avoid trees, boulders etc to survive. You have skiing poles to add speed, and this feels very natural actually (disclaimer; my knowledge of skiing irl is very limited). You turn to the side by kinda tilting your head, and this doesn't make sense to 100% at the beginning. My feeling is that it should be a little more sensitive, but after a few rounds you'll get the hang of it. At first I played with bent knees and leaning a bit forward, great for the sense of speed and immersion, but maybe a little harder to navigate. Standing straight with the feet a bit apart seemed to be a bit easier. And as you can regulate your own speed you can also choose if you want to go furiously wild or a bit slower and more tactical. You'll crash alot, but you'll do better every time as you learn the course. The longer you stay alive, the more points you get. Also seems to be getting points for hitting deer, and there is a snowflake on the score-board that I have no idea what it is yet. The game runs without any problem on my GTX 1070 with 1.5 SS. I have never had any motion sickness so I don't know how this is for the pukers. I'll put this game in my daily rotation for sure. If you like games like "Unbreakable VR Runner" then I believe this will be for you. Also it might be a good game to demo to people, because it's not like anything else at the moment. + Fun, fast, original - €7.99 would be a more fair price There is also some minor translation errors, but nothing important. Good work!

6.6 out of 10 As long as you understand this doesn't intend to be any kind of realistic skiing sim then it's good fun. It's very immersive using your hands to row the ski poles to build speed. It's intensive as the difficultly builds up over the course, I haven't mananged to reach the end due to colliding with swooping eagles partway through; as I said this isn't a simulator. As there's really nothing out there to compare to this, its as good as it gets. Which is a shame as Fancy Skiing shows proof of concept that skiing works great in VR. Fancy Skiing "isn't" exactly an awesome game, it's just one long course, and there are no other options. Some of shortcomings in the production include, your virtual skis always point forward, and the music can't be turned off (which can get annoying over times). Basically it's pretty barebones, lacks polish, but sort of priced around being acceptable value. Though I quite enjoy this game, as a rating I'd give it average as an objective game rating. If a more refined skiing title comes along, get that and avoid Fancy Skiing as it's shortcoming will be revealed and this title will easily be forgotten. Giving it a thumbs up is a real stretch. I doubt this game would get so many thumbs up is there was something else/better out there.

OK, I've made two seperate attempts at this, each one was for 12 minutes for a total of 24 minutes so far. The first time was so overwhelming that I was literally falling over as I took the huge jumps into deep valleys. My stomach was in my mouth, the way a rapid drop from heights would do (not VR sickness). As I hit the ground in VR, my knees and legs were instinctively trying to balance me in real life. SO hard to explain. I took the headset off and giggled. The experience completely fooled my brain. So, about an hour later, I tried again. This time I kept telling myself "this isn't real", and I was able to actually play and enjoy it. Within minutes, and after crashing multiple times, I totally got it. Bending your knees, and leaning is the key to this. When flying thru the air into a deep valley, and a massive boulder is in your path, all I can recommend is either lean over far enough to avoid it (you seem to have control while catching air), or CLOSE YOUR EYES as you smash into it. I highly recommend this for those that want to crash dive into building VR sickness resistance. Once you build up tolerance in this VR sim, you will be able to play in VR game that uses motion to move around. Hopefully developers will stop thinking we're all a bunch of pansies, and start making games that we can 'walk within the VR environment', like these guys developed. Good job developers. But, it needs polish for sure. Like please include menu options to disable 'in game' music so I can hear my own music.

This game is pretty exciting and is a lot of fun but unfortunately there isn't enough content to make it worth $10. This feels like a demo-there is only 1 ski course and you start from the beginning every time, and there are no other features other than going down that 1 hill in this game. If more was added ie. tubing, snowboarding, multiple tracks etc then I would recommend this but I just cant at this point.
