The hyper-generic soundtrack, though, sounds like it was hastily scavenged from a YouTube advert. There’s real novelty to seeing friends hop and wave around in multiplayer, especially when you switch up racing styles and suddenly discover your giant-sized competition staring down at you.

Ant-sized birds hover below in god mode, and oceans are filled with concerningly adorable sharks. Still, it’s a vibrant little game with charming VR touches. The satisfaction you’ve come to know and love from the genre is all here and accounted for. As with other rock-solid isometric racers, it finds its flow in the drifty corners tough to angle but addictive and rewarding to master, especially when paired with a last-moment boost to send you soaring into first place. Taken more seriously, Mini Motor X is a perfunctory piece of VR racing. Still, much of the fun here is in the toybox experimentation switching to cockpit view and swerving around the tracks using a steering wheel is about as delightful as something that will make you want to throw up in seconds can possibly be (seriously, Teacup Rides have nothing on this). You can also play the game with a virtual RC car controller and mimicking steering a wheel, and they’re both adorable options, but stick input is necessary to perfect lap times. It’s as smooth to play as can be expected in the button-input mode, too. Plus the multiplayer ranges from competitive modes to even tackling the campaign together with a friend. Mini Motor X comes with a full garage of differently-specced vehicles, a career mode that spans multiple difficulties and classic (no powerups) and arcade (powerups!) gameplay, plus cash to upgrade your ride and cosmetic items to unlock. If you were to judge this by the regular box tickers, it’d be full marks.
