![]() There are a few mini-games where you collect stuff, but they don’t exactly amp the excitement levels up to 100 either. The nature of a sailing race is that boats tend to be spread apart and overtakes are rarely close encounters, which doesn’t make for exciting moment-to-moment gameplay in the sense that many car racing games do. Sailing feels involved enough to satisfy enthusiasts and it’s a great starting point for those who are curious about the sport, but at the same time it’s not as thrilling as other games that focus on racing – which MarineVerse Cup does. This attention to detail is probably MarineVerse Cup’s greatest strength and weakness at the same time. It may veer a bit too much towards the sim end of things for a novice like myself, but if anything it did instill me with a sense of respect and understanding towards those who competitively race during events like the olympics. It’s a great starting point for the game’s tutorials, which were more than welcome for me as someone who’s never sailed before.Īnd while I don’t think I’m ready to set foot aboard an actual sailboat and take it out to sea, the tutorials are quite in-depth and teach players a lot of the ins and outs that are involved. The opening moments of MarineVerse Cup are certainly atmospheric, with beautiful blue water in front of you and shorelines in the distance while the gentle sounds of water and wind surround you – all that’s missing is a slight breeze, so I considered setting up a fan to create that as well. Developed in Australia by sailors and engineers, it certainly has plenty of promise of authenticity. ![]() VR continues to be a great platform on which to explore the boundaries between ‘game’ and ‘experience’, and MarineVerse Cup is a good example of that as it aims to bring a sailing experience to those with Quest 2 headsets. Three very different releases today, as we explore VR sailing with MarineVerse Cup on the Quest 2, check out the narrative-driven walking sim Ghost on the Shore and dive into a quick platforming diversion with Explosive Candy World.
