Hell Road VR

Hell Road VR is the kind of game you might play in an arcade for a quick laugh and never think about again. While there’s an undeniable novelty that comes from spearing a zombie through the face with a lance at 60 miles per hour from atop your steel steed, the thrill fades fast. With its disappointingly shallow gameplay loop and needlessly frustrating controls, it won’t be long before even the most seasoned zombie hunters grow weary of this road trip. If you’re just dying to bag some ghouls on your favorite HMD, there are simply too many better options available to recommend adding Hell Road VR to your Steam library. So save your neck and your cash for something more deserving. You’ll be glad you did.

The gameplay is generally immersive and enjoyable, particularly praised for its unique two-handed shooting mechanics while racing and excellent motorcycle controls. However, some players feel that the bike control could be improved and suggest incorporating teleportation or map mechanics for more diverse level design. Overall, while the gameplay is fun, there are areas for enhancement.
- “And shooting during racing is also fun: it is a unique VR two-handed gameplay that feels rewarding when you manage to shoot down zombies while leaning into a turn.”
- “The gameplay is fun (for the most part) and the dialogue is slightly above average.”
- “Awesome motorcycle mechanics.”
- “I also feel the game could benefit from a little Serious Sam teleportation/map mechanics that would fit the story and allow more diverse levels.”

The game's story features a standard mode alongside endless and Halloween variations, but it suffers from a disappointing final level that culminates in an unconvincing plot twist. Reviewers suggest that incorporating teleportation or map mechanics could enhance the narrative experience and provide more diverse gameplay. Overall, while the game is considered worth its price, the storytelling elements leave much to be desired.
- “You can usually find this game on sale rather cheap if you're worried about price, but I feel it's worth it as you have your standard story mode, endless mode, and a Halloween mode.”
- “Final levels is the absolute worst: it's just one long arena that ends with the most dumb plot twist in the last cutscene.”
- “I also feel the game could benefit from a little Serious Sam teleportation/map mechanics that would fit the story and allow for more diverse levels.”
