I've been dying for a great combat racer on PC since I grew up playing Twisted Metal on the PS2--and while GRIP is not TM, it is still an incredibly fun combat racer with killer gameplay.

I bought this game specifically to play in VR on my Quest 2. There aren't many arcade style racers in VR, so it's been a nice addition to my library. I like the pick up and play aspect of the game. Overall it's been lots of fun, and I like the mechanics of the game.
My experience playing it in VR has not been perfect though - I was playing sitting down and I found some menu buttons and elements were blocked from my view so it was a bit confusing at times, and during some loading and menu screens there is some janky flashing / strobe effect. These are not issues that I have had in any other game in Steam VR on my Quest 2. During the actual gameplay though, it's been running just fine, so overall it's been enjoyable.

It's a good VR game to test how strong your VR legs are. Hope you can endure strong movements!

I really wanted to like this game but the gameplay is just too frustrating and random. I had it uninstalled after less than an hour of play. Personally, nothing beats the first two Sonic all-star racing games, Outrun and BallisticNG for my arcade need.

! Introduction !
Grip: Combat racing feels so much like the “Racing” version of Rocket League’s Rumble Game Mode. You are in vehicles that have the ability to defy gravity due to traveling at high speeds and you can pick up power-ups on the way that allows you to attack enemies, defend against them or give you a speed advantage over them. In simpler terms, it’s a high-speed, gravity-defying combat racing game.
- Information about this Game -
! Base Concept !
This game has no storyline, whatsoever. As I mentioned above, this game is really similar to the Rumble game mode in Rocket League. This is basically Mario Kart with cars that break the laws of physics due to overwhelming speeds. There are several game modes to play, and each of them has its own objectives. Some of the modes require survival while others solely rely on speed.
! Gamplay Mechanics !
At the first glance, one would think this is just like any other car racing game with weapons. But once you play it, you will see its uniqueness. Of course, there are several combat racing games like Twisted Metal, Gas Guzzlers, etc. But none of them have cars that can drive on walls or even ceilings. Wherever the car can go is a track, despite their direction as long as they drive fast enough. You can never topple your car as the car can be driven on both sides, which is crazy. I don’t think this is possible in real life, but it is still a cool concept. For a very fast-paced game, everything is surprisingly smooth. From drifting around sharp corners to jumping onto the track [b]above[/b] you, everything is as smooth as a knife through butter.
However, the combat aspect is a bit weird as you can’t aim properly due to moving at such high speeds. Apart from the homing missile, other weapons are kinda hard to aim at your targets and hit them unless you are really close to them.
At first, I did not comprehend the utility of the Grip pads. Then I realized that they are actually boost pads with a different name, as speed gives grip in this game. So driving over these pads can act as a catalyst to aid you in covering up more area than other racers.
Rating: 4.6/5 (5 stars)
