    Okay, I'm sorry I had to right this review, but I am utterly disappointed with this game and am currently trying to refund it. I have played this for about 3 hours, and they sucked. First, the singleplayer. The first game I lost, which I was expecting, the next I tied. After that, I had enough to get better teammates, but they were terrible. We lost 8-1 and my team AI were utter garbageOkay, I'm sorry I had to right this review, but I am utterly disappointed with this game and am currently trying to refund it. I have played this for about 3 hours, and they sucked. First, the singleplayer. The first game I lost, which I was expecting, the next I tied. After that, I had enough to get better teammates, but they were terrible. We lost 8-1 and my team AI were utter garbage and sitting at the other side of the map while the other AI were sticking together and getting into overdrive every few seconds. I got 8 kills at the end of the game and was second place, bot of my team was last, and I didn't get overdrive even ONCE. Overdrive is needed to score a goal. Then the maps. The map design for the football game mode is BROKEN! The map design and spawn is TERRIBLE! It MUST be more diverse and have better spawn locations. The main reason I am doing this is because this game has a lack of content and is also broken and needs updates. I suggest that you wait before you buy this, because at its price point of $50, I would only pay $5 to play this broken game.… Expand

    Unplayable, made me sick both times I've tried to play. Even when I could handle it, it was just held back by the vr in terms of gameplay. This game represents everything people fear of vr, motion sickness, gameplay mechanics clearly restricted by the peripheral. Straightfoward shooter in mech, they did a great job in presentation, and making you feel like you're in an actual mech though.

    Worst motion sickness I've had in a VR game. The opening cinematic for when you start matches doesn't give you any head movement and that was about the end for me. Tutorial is unbearably tedious. Movement is slow and clunky. I don't recommend.

    RIGS: Mechanized Combat League may be the posterchild for PlayStation VR, but it's not the headset's MVP. While this future sports sim has a strong art style and some interesting ideas, it struggles to get the business done where it matters – on the pitch. Nauseating action and mushy combat really cause this contender to drop points.

    Probably the first true competitive sports game in virtual reality. It has its flaws, sure, but it offers an entertaining experience sports fans will definitely enjoy.

    Despite RIGS’s modest content hats down to Guerrilla Games for proving that there’s a place in virtual reality for real, fast-paced first-person shooters, not just the on-rail variety. [13/2016, p.78]
