For Facebook’s VR platform to be recognized at its fair value, you have to find games providing various experiences and above all captivating in virtual reality.
Certainly there are many Ambiance, Tempo and Attraction Park games, all capable of giving sensations to the player.
But not the racing games which are also often interesting to play in VR.
This time, it is the turn of the famous Grid Legends of Code masters (EA) to jump on the Meta Quest 2 platform of Facebook.
Available on Xbox One, SERIES S/X, PS4, PS5 and on PC since February 2022, has recently appeared on the Meta Quest online store Grid Legends.
To achieve this feat of wearing a gourmet AAA game for the VR helmet, the designers unfortunately made important changes to be able to run it on Android (yes the embedded exploitation system of Meta Quest 2 is indeed Android).
I unfortunately say since it is immediately what strikes us when we start the game the first time, ugly graphics, too pixelated and with little details.
So horrible that we have to work hard to form whole filing in our head.
By combining with the fact that it is a virtual game, so the two small screens very close to the eyes, it is frankly very unpleasant and anything but relaxing.
Frankly, it is impossible to play it for a long time without bleeding.
Naturally, the designers have bet on the inner view of the car to immerse us in the VR.
It is so surprising to be stated with being seated in habitable, turn your head and see the instrumentation as a speed line and the engine tour.
But unfortunately, the mirrors are absent, an aberration since it must constantly turn their heads on the sides and in Carrier to see the cars that attack us.
Very strange and disappointing choice.
Fortunately, we have to fall back on the fact that Grid Legends is a game that has a long and complete story mode in addition to fast races mode, its track editor and its multiplayer mode.
So no worries about this aspect, the game offers a lot, but will you want a lot?
That is the question.
The History of Grid Legends who places us in different scenarios with cars of different categories, is undoubtedly the right reason to play the game. But if you were already playing on Xbox Series or PS5, then there, you will not be impressed with this version
VR and better pass your turn.
It is not that the game is so bad, but it is not just up to what was done before making this version ultimately quite useless.
The controls are similar with the console versions, either with the similar stick for the steering wheel and the triggers for accelerator and the brake.
Why not have proposed a virtual steering wheel as an option just for the pleasure of the VR?
In conclusion, due to its very disappointing graphics, it is impossible to recommend Grid Legends for Meta Quest 2. It is better if you want to try to laventure of a VR racing game, to connect your quest 2 to your PC and opt for
Other games like Asset to Cora Original in VR, available at $5.50 via Steam.
