    Glad I tried it before buying. Based on version 1.3.0. This is a racing game, the combat is very secondary and underwhelming. When going full speed, it's very easy to bump into one of the innumerable obstacles and go flying, moving from 1st to last position. This is my main reason for finding the game unpleasant and tough; I cannot memorize everything. Sometimes you don't know which way isGlad I tried it before buying. Based on version 1.3.0. This is a racing game, the combat is very secondary and underwhelming. When going full speed, it's very easy to bump into one of the innumerable obstacles and go flying, moving from 1st to last position. This is my main reason for finding the game unpleasant and tough; I cannot memorize everything. Sometimes you don't know which way is the race. The game also uses the infamous rubber banding. This means that if you hold the 1st position long enough, the AI will cheat and go compete with you out of nowhere. But it also works the other way around: if you mess up for some time, the AI will fool around until you come and compete with him. At least in the early races, apparently the game gets very tough later on. This causes frustration to many players.

    Try to play the game yourself before buying and see if you like it.    … Expand

    It looks good, there are options for days and most importantly the gameplay is entertaining. GRIP: Combat Racing VR is pure digital witchcraft, making the addition of VR look seamless. Plus it’s a free update if you already own the original title, which is a bonus.

    GRIP: Combat Racing will delight the nostalgics grown up on bread and Rollcage, accustomed to frills and testosterone-rich races. However, bringing back past productions is a risky choice, and it is precisely on certain roughness that the stock loses points, precluding excellence due to smudges in the design of the tracks and in the collision system.

    GRIP: Combat Racing is an exhilarating racing experience. There are some flaws such as a considerable increase in difficulty during the last quarter of the campaign, overly aggressive enemy A.I and physics that, sometimes, take hold in an unpredictable manner, but its bountiful content, beautifully designed tracks and adrenaline-infused action, constitute an alluring game.
