The value story

December 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 54 in the 10 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 95 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, MX Bikes ($34.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator ($49.99, scores 34).

Of the 306 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 321 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

it was a really good game it is still a very good game but its showing its age, and its popularity is well uh very, very low its sad to see this game dead i played a lot in it, more then 26 hours i can tell you that

Probably the most fun you could have in VR back when this released, next to VRChat. It probably hasnt aged as well now, but there was a lot of fun levels to climb together with friends while goofing around in VC. Everyone should climb "The Mighty OoVee" at least once if they ever play this, its basically a right of passage if you get VR. Put on some good music and get to it. Get it on sale if you are curious, could...
