Kayak VR is now available for PC VR on Steamand offers a visually stunning adventure paddling through some beautiful environments, alongside asynchronous multiplayer functionality.
Kayak VR: Mirage lets you pilot a physics-based, physically accurate kayak in VR, exploring and racing beautiful locations with different times of day and different weather conditions.
There are a number of different modes: free-roaming for something a little more sedate, time attack for a challenge, and asynchronous multiplayer functionality that lets you race against ghost players with records on global leaderboards.
We Kayak VR tried out in May and came quite impressed with not only the mechanics, but also the statues on offer:
Even navigating the straights of a river is an achievement here, and your reward is some of the most stunning sights you’ll find in VR. Just like when you end a grueling walk or bike ride, stumbling in these places comes with a sense of pride and achievement and you can feel that you are slowly starting to improve your technique the more you play. That’s a very rare and meaningful thing in any game, let alone VR.
The title debuted with very positive reviews on Steam. In terms of system requirements, we haven’t verified the performance of the game itself yet, but the specs listed aren’t too bad – the minimum graphics card is listed as an Nvidia 1070 or AMD 5700, with an Nvidia 2080 recommended. Those requirements are reasonable. high, but still not as elevated as some other PC VR games lately.
a step-by-step plan outlining future development plans and upcoming features is also availablewith new weather options, bHaptics support, real-time multiplayer and more.
Kayak VR is listed at a regular price of $22.99, but is currently on sale to celebrate its launch, available with 15% off until July 20. You can watch it now on Steam†
