Rec Room is a virtual reality game that allows you to play mini games against other players. This game features many rooms and each room is dedicated to a different game. While you're there to play, you can also meet and chat with other people for a full social experience.

Main Features

Rec Room is the perfect name for this game. It is a virtual reality game where you meet other real players. You can play various mini games such as dodgeball, bowling, laser tag and more. Each game has its own dedicated room. This allows you to speak with fellow players before and after the game.

You are allowed to speak with other players either via chat or text, so you can interact in whichever way is more comfortable for you. This creates an immersive social experience that most social networks cannot replicate.

Avatars

Since this is a social game, you are given your own unique avatar that you can customize. The graphics aren't incredibly detailed, but you can choose from different clothes and hairstyles to make the avatar look like you. You will also find extra items as you play to further customize your character. This makes it feel more like an immersive experience. Each person's avatar will look different and you can change your avatar until it feels right.

Sometimes Crashes

Virtual reality games are still in their infancy and there are bound to be errors here and there. Rec Room is known for crashing more than other games. While it doesn't happen all the time, it happens enough that you'll come to expect it. This sometimes happens during mini games or when you're just speaking with others.

The good news is that you can often get back into the game in about a minute or so. While you may not have a chance to enter the same game again, you can play the next round in a matter of seconds. This should get better as the game is patched.

Supports Virtual Reality Headsets

You can play this game with a mouse and keyboard, and that might make the mini games easier for some people, but then you lose out on the immersion. If you really want to feel like you're there, then it's best to wear a headset. This game not only supports virtual reality headsets, it expects most players to wear them.

This makes it feel like you are really there, meeting other people and playing fun games alongside them. You don't need to wear a headset, but it does add to the fun of this game.
