Super promising Early Access VR Game, really excited to see where this one goes. The minimalist art-style really works for it and the environments still look great. Hoping for more biomes as things progress along. If they release consistent updates throughout the Early Access period this game will be a 5/5 for me.
Ragnarock is a drum rhythm game with an emphasis on Vikings and metal. It's really refreshing to play a rhythm game that isn't just EDM, and there are a lot of different styles and metal mashups represented. I didn't recognize any of the bands by name, but there is a lot of variety: from I Can't Believe It's Not Rammstein to Seitan Flogging Molly. There's even a gospel/metal mashup. Of course the preponderance is folk metal of the flutes and bagpipes persuasion.
Because there is no physical drum pad to bang on, Ragnarock can't realistically offer the precision and satisfaction of actual drumming. It does come close though, using haptics, latency tweaking, and extensive comfort options to dial in the perfect setup. However, I still found that it would occasionally drop inputs or mis-trigger even after many hours of playing and tweaking. It's a challenge to offer a VR drumming experience that doesn't feel like waving your hands around, but the game just isn't precise enough for me to want to pursue the higher difficulty medals.
