Distance

Gameplay: Isn't very long—about 4 hours—but there's much more to explore in arcade mode or by downloading other maps. You can also create your own map in the editor. Soundtrack: It's lit! Amazing job. Effects: I really like the option lights can beat to sound. Graphics: In some places and maps, if you look closely, it's not the best graphic quality. BUT this game proves that a game doesn't need high-end graphics—just a great designer. The color balance, environment, futuristic cityscapes, and abstract look of the maps give off an amazing vibe and look absolutely sick. Big + Mechanics: It's so satisfying to see the car split exactly where you hit it, , also that the car rubs against the ground while splited. (depends how) Controls: I haven't tried it in VR yet, but on PC, it takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it. If you need something to feed your ADHD or your creative soul, this game is definitely for you.

pretty fun, i gotta admit

Starts you off slow then before you know it you are pulling off moves you didn't know you could do: singular and chained moves including jumping, boosting, flipping rotation, flying, wall riding, grinding. Fast paced and tons of lasers, saw blades, teleports, and destroyed environment to speed through. Hell of a ride in VR.

really good for its price game have a great environment design that amazed me

Modern day Trackmania kinda

One of my favorite racing games. I especially love the fact that falling off the track doesn't mean you have to start over, since (most of the time) you can just fly back onto it and only have to take a minor dent in your time. And that it allows to exploring of most levels by just buggering off is a great side effect. Soundtrack is great as well, and it even has a level editor which provides near infinite tracks, thanks to the amazing community <3

I first heard about Distance from a review on YT. The guy (I forget who) did a great job selling how good the game was to me. Now that I've finally got around to playing it for myself, this is definitely one of the better indie racing games I've ever played. I personally prefer using a controller for these type of games rather than the keyboard for ease-of-use. Now, the game itself: On the surface, Distance is a fairly straightforward Sci-Fi themed racing game. Drive, boost, dodge obstacles, perform air tricks, occasionally fly around with Wing-mode. What separates Distance from other racers is 1) The environment, 2) The story, and 3) How both of these work together. I never previously considered that one could expertly combine the Racing genre with semi-horror/semi-thriller elements, moreso keep me invested despite that I'm not a horror seeker myself. You can clearly see how Distance is artistically inspired by Tron, but in Campaign mode, you're quickly thrusted into a race against the clock while simultaneously racing against an "evil" entity trying to stop you. The game makes good use of the environment by utilizing dark shadows, haunting soundtrack, and very little monologuing, essentially getting the player to piece together the story on their own with the help of the occasional exposition dump by the automated voice who gradually reveals more as you progress. Distance is a great example of the concept, "Show, don't tell," in Racing format. But if you're looking for a quick race to pass the time, don't worry, they have that covered too. Head to Arcade mode for quick races, stunts, and one or two other modes to boot. Looking forward to checking out the other two Campaigns.
