Galaxy Race offers a unique movement system that utilizes body movements for navigation, providing an immersive experience without causing motion sickness.
The vibrant, neon-lit tracks and sci-fi environments create an appealing aesthetic that enhances the overall atmosphere of the game.
Despite its limitations, the game can be enjoyable in short bursts, especially for players who appreciate arcade-style racing and power-up mechanics.

The game suffers from a severe lack of content, with only three tracks available and no multiplayer or progression systems, leading to a short-lived experience.
The control scheme, while ambitious, often feels finicky and unreliable, making precise navigation difficult and resulting in chaotic gameplay.
Visual fidelity is inconsistent, with flat textures and a lack of detail that may disappoint players expecting higher graphical standards in VR.
