    I think giving this game 10/10 is exaggerating. It's just a shooter with sport based game modes. It's very cool because of feeling vr gives you. I spent a lot of time playing it and had fun, but at the same time I knew, that I most likely wouldn't play it at all if the same game wasn't vr.
    I give it 7 for

    I give it 7 for
    - good graphics, quite sharp like for vr game
    - very nice feel of driving a robot
    - interesting game modes (3 of them)
    - good map design
    - option to play with bots. This is very important in online games, since in many vr games it's barely possible to find someone to play with
    - quite big replayability like for vr game

    I wish it had more levels (it has just 3 levels if I remember correctly), and matches would load faster. It has unnecessary cut scenes between matches, maybe implemented there to give you some rest between gameplay to avoid simulation sickness. Overall, I recommend it. I find it much cooler than for example starblood arena.    … Expand

    The game is not that bad but pretty far from being good. It forces the player through a long unstoppable tutorial. The matches are over shortly after they begin. 6 minute match with 2, 3 minute halves. Balance in online matches felt like an issue but in offline the AI is too easy.

    A solid mech multiplayer game with a distinct futuristic sports style theme. Awesome visuals/immersion, solid gameplay, and lots of different mechs to choose from. Only issue is that the game can be very intense and can cause some nausea and serious fatigue.

    Rigs VR is a decent game with good graphics ect but i had to put it down as it gave me the worst motion sickness and I've played a lot of psvr games. If i didn't get the motion sickness it would of been ok game.

    This was a pretty cool launch title, graphics were great. I wish I didn't feel so sick while playing it but that's just me.

    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]
