Tiny Trax
SCORE: 66
I got excited when I first heard about Tiny Trax. I loved the idea of
a Micro Machines like game in PS4 VR. I was even more excited when
Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital download code for Tiny Trax.
I figured this is one of those 2.4 gig downloads that I would insist
needs a physical copy. Everyone else played Tiny Trax before me.
Everyone told me the controls are bad.
I did not want to believe everyone else here at Family Friendly Gaming
about the controls. So in my very first race I got lapped twice. In a
five lap race. They finished and I was on the third lap. They would have
lapped me again if it had six laps for a race. What was the problem?
What went wrong for an expert gamer with decades of experience? Turns
were my undoing. My car would stop if I did not turn right.
With such winding tracks in Tiny Trax, there are all kinds of turns. One
mistake put me in last place in every race. I had to be perfect in the
twelve tracks. Maybe that is why Tiny Trax is so hard. This frustrated
me. This irritated me. It did not relax me. It did not de-stress me. I
could see Tiny Trax being that way on ultra hard mode. But not on easy
mode when we first start out.
I ran into some glitch collision issues in Tiny Trax too. I had trouble
figuring out why the computer controlled cars could boost so much longer
than me. The computer controlled cars did everything better than me.
Tiny Trax looks nice. I had trouble seeing some areas on some of the
tracks. I enjoyed listening to the music in Tiny Trax. I wish I had more
fun with this game.
I love the idea of Tiny Trax. Everyone here at Family Friendly Gaming is
telling me I am being way too nice with my scoring. I see a lot of
promise in Tiny Trax. The difficulty and sensitivity of the turning is
the biggest problem. The difficulty curve should be a curve and not a
cliff face straight up. If you are looking for a challenging VR racing
game that won't make you sick, then check out Tiny Trax. Remember I did
warn you on the difficulty.
