Office Race Reviews

pretty goof

Frustrating as hell, but manages to feel *good* when you hit those corners just right. Do you have some disposable time or friends you don't mind losing? Then this is definitely a game for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqi2tkYwpIQ

It's an okay game not the best but pretty funny to play for a little bit! here is my gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R-XFJAoiM0&t=24s

[u] This review was taken from LvLRaid.com[/u] Office Race is a zany kart racing game that closely mirrors real-life shenanigans (at least for us here at LVLRaid!). While your boss is away on vacation, you and your colleagues compete to be the first to cross the finish line while avoiding commonplace obstacles, derailing pushes from your opponents, or simply ending up in the wrong cubicle. Fully equipped with "gizmos" to give a helping hand, it is up to you to roll your way to victory in your company owned office chair! (don't damage it.) Office Race features four game modes: Normal, Multiplayer, Time Trial, and Player vs. Player. In Normal mode, the player races against 5 AI through 14 levels to earn gold medals. Multiplayer is a split screen local game mode where player one uses the WASD keys, and player two uses the arrow keys on the same PC. Try to beat your highscore in Time Trials, or have a one-on-one stand off with a friend in Player vs. Player mode. Winning medals unlocks new custom chairs and player models. Though the character design consists of nothing more than simple 3D models, it fits the casual nature of the game well. That being said, as we say about our employee Dave’s work area reigns true here - a little polish goes a long way (sorry Dave). To win the race, the player needs to effectively use their power ups to get ahead of their opponents, choose between the beaten path and (sometimes detrimental) shortcuts, all while responding to various quick time events to avoid being electrocuted - among other unfavorable fates. The movement mechanics add an extra challenge for us Mario Kart pros that makes this unlike most kart racing games. If you've ever tried to do a sharp turn in a swivel chair, you can imagine what the controls of this game involve. What causes these wacky controls to fall flat is the sporadic and disorienting camera system. Whether it's the sudden low angle when hitting a wall or the quick 180 horizontal jerk in the wrong direction when grazing a cubicle panel, it seems this game has a nasty case of the Camera Screw. But don't fret, this can be easily cured with a slower rotation and zoom rate to fit the narrow level design and allow the player time to understand what their chair is stuck on. With this simple change in camera movements, Office Race’s quirky controls could easily go from unnecessarily frustrating to fun and entertaining. [b]TL;DR[/b] - Office Race is a fun concept for quick casual gameplay. With some tweaking of the controls, and a lot artistic detail added to the environment, this game could be a novel gem.

Great game, controls are a bit wonky at first, but after you get used to it they are great. There are several player skins you can unlock and chair skins as well. Worth every penny it cost. The final boss is somewhat difficult, but is a worthwhile challenge and really pays off after beating it. Very fulfulling final boss race. 13/10 would office race again
