    Despite the show only being on for 3 seasons, the universe is already pretty large with plenty of fan theories, it’s just a tiny (Rick) bit disappointing how short and limited this title is. As a die hard I would kill, Krombopulos Michael style, for a Rick and Morty RPG in line with the South Park series. For now, if you own a PSVR and consider yourself a part of the council of Ricks, this is a must buy.

    Virtual Rick-ality celebrates the existential comedy and breathless sociopathy of Rick and Morty. Like Job Simulator, it excels at creating natural space and filling it eccentric objectives and impulsive mischief. As a Rick and Morty product and a true second-generation VR title, Virtual Rick-ality is a comfortable calamity.

    Virtual Rick-ality offers fans the typical humor of the series and a great recognition value, but the gameplay is convincing, too.

    Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is a game that fans of the franchise will enjoy. It's a great puzzle game with fantastic writing and voice over work. I just wish it was a bit longer and didn't require so much space for a VR title to enjoy. The game is a real workout.

    Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is another hilarious creation by Justin Roiland and Owlchemy Labs. It brings the world, characters, and humor of Rick and Morty to life in a way that you simply can’t experience outside of VR.

    A great and funny way to (literally) enter the Rick and Morty universe.

    Rick and Morty console's debut is a VR game that faithfully recreates the animated series' humor and spirit... but in a limited way. The game will last you only 2-3 hours and, even with end game content, it probably won't hook you up (most of it it's minigame repetition). Also, if you have played Job Simulator, "déjà vu" is guaranteed...

    Fans will most definitely enjoy their time in the VR world of Virtual Rick-ality, but they shouldn’t go in expecting to have their minds totally blown either.

    For $29.99, Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality is a game worth adding to your library. It may have a linear design and a short length, but it is still a great game that stays true to the Rick and Morty IP, and I look forward to future Rick and Morty titles.

    Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality combines the successful formula of Job Simulator with the unconventional humour of the animated series.

    It's Job Simulator with a coat of nihilistic, irreverent paint. It's fun, funny and indulgently self-aware. It's undoubtedly a must-have for fans, but like the character you play as, it's a disposable clone.

    On one hand, it's a must have for those who love Rick and Morty. A fun new version of Job Simulator. Puzzles and exploration plenty of laughs and hilarious dialogs. In the other hand, it's only a 2/3 hours experience and there isn't any real replay value. It isn't long enough (neither deep or varied) for the asking price (30€).

    Not the perfect Rick & Morty game and not the best adaptation due to the limited tracking capabilities of PS VR.

    Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality fails short due to its movement-related problems and its limited gameplay.

    This is a pretty good experience for fans of the series, but it lasts an hour and a half, and it feels pretty expensive. If you just want to be part of this world and you don't mind the adventure doesn't last long, then this is your game.

    It remains a rather good pastime with which to spend the time in view of the return to our TV the most intelligent mad scientist of the universe.

    Virtual Rick-ality can be recommended almost exclusively to fans of the original series, since those who have never approached it or are looking for a more adventurous experience, will not struggle to find better alternatives in the now rather large fleet of titles for PlayStation VR .

    If Rick & Morty: Virtual Rick-ality were a discount title, I would say Take a look, but keep your expectations in check. However, this is one of the more expensive VR titles, and the brevity of the story combined with the frustration of some broken mechanics make this a mixed bag. The game is fun when it is working correctly, and the world building and writing are top notch, but don’t expect to spend more than a couple of hours in Rick’s garage, with some of that time spent wrestling with broken mechanics.

    I really don't understand the negative reviews. Must be trolls who just don't enjoy R&M. Some people have complained about tracking on thisI really don't understand the negative reviews. Must be trolls who just don't enjoy R&M. Some people have complained about tracking on this game but i managed to play it for 3 hours with no issues. Yes, it's short... but it does have lots of content (kinda like Accounting Plus did), and you can always discover new things. A few of the trophies are pretty challenging, but it's a very attainable platinum. To me, it's priced perfectly at $30 and I'm glad a physical copy is available.… Full Review »

    I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone who isn't already a fan of the show, but if you are this is definitely worth checking out.

    The    I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone who isn't already a fan of the show, but if you are this is definitely worth checking out.

    The story is funny and completely in line with the show. It is a pretty short game but I honestly don't mind a shorter experience for a change. Plus you can always extend the playtime by hunting for the many trophies and easter eggs.

    The controls are a bit clunky and frustrating at times, but with the right VR set-up those frustrations can be minimized.

    I'd say the biggest downside for a lot of people is that you won't be visiting any of the exotic locations from the show (it's really only 5 little sets, and only one of them is actually detailed), or see any of the characters aside from Rick, Morty and (very briefly) Summer. There will be some voice clips and references to other characters, but fans going in with high expectations might end up disappointed.

    This is a fun small-scale Rick and Morty adventure, and if you don't go in expecting more you won't be disappointed.    … Full Review »
