Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality Reviews
Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is a short experience, but it delivers on almost all of its promise. Those with a VR headset and little to play will find a lot to enjoy here, even if it's over far too soon.
There's absolutely nothing new to push Virtual Reality and roomspace VR forward in Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality, and it is painfully short with little replay value. Those indictments aside, it's a must-have for anyone who enjoys the dark humor of the show. Perhaps we can Get Schwifty with another run at VR with a longer run time and harder puzzles in the future.
It's Job Simulator with a coat of nihilistic, irreverent paint. It's fun, funny and indulgently self-aware. It's undoubtedly a must-have for fans, but like the character you play as, it's a disposable clone.
For $29.99, Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality is a game worth adding to your library. It may have a linear design and a short length, but it is still a great game that stays true to the Rick and Morty IP, and I look forward to future Rick and Morty titles.
The length issue really does hold back Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality. The time spent in game accomplishes exactly what it should: it's entertaining with plenty of funny moments. Being so short, however, gives the final product an air of disposability. There aren't any reasons to revisit the game when it's done, except to goof around with random things in the garage and maybe slap Rick around again. The actual contents of this offering deserves recognition; there just needs to be more. Nothing is more frustrating than getting into a groove with something only for it to end before it feels finis….
Fans who love the show now have a VR game that brings them as close to the action as they've ever been. Becoming Rick's slave to yell at has never been so much fun.
The jokes and references are funny, but the gameplay is too shallow to be engaging
Not the perfect Rick & Morty game and not the best adaptation due to the limited tracking capabilites of PS VR.

Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality fails short due to its movement-related problems and its limited gameplay.

For Rick and Morty fans with cash to burn, this is still quite a fun experience. For most other gamers, though, I’d highly recommend waiting for a price cut or sale.
If Rick & Morty: Virtual Rick-ality were a discount title, I would say "Take a look, but keep your expectations in check." However, this is one of the more expensive VR titles, and the brevity of the story combined with the frustration of some broken mechanics make this a mixed bag. The game is fun when it is working correctly, and the world building and writing are top notch, but don't expect to spend more than a couple of hours in Rick's garage, with some of that time spent wrestling with broken mechanics.
