negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if your getting this becuase it says VR experience, dont bother. this is a pc game for monitors that allows you to ride individual rides through the main menu. no controller support. and you must remove the headset after each ride in order to select the next one. the VR Experience Tag should be removed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Virtual Rides 3 Virtual Rides 3 is a funfair/carnival simulator with 14 attractions so far. I really enjoyed spending couple hours in this game, but you have to really like this kind of game to play longer than that. You may run around the fairground area to look at the crowd reactions. Or you may control and customize rides, while being part of it - you may choose first person camera on any ride. pros: +Graphics is great. Game looks colorful and bright. Optimization could've been better…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want rides in VR, I wouldn't bother. There is no menu inside VR, you have to take off your headset every time you want to select a ride or start a ride, and use the mouse. The 'VR experience' is just bolted on - all the rides are rendered inside some boring concrete warehouse - no people, no scenery, no atmosphere at all. It's a shame because the rides are well put together but whats the point in going on a ride that takes you up high when there's nothing to look at to enhance that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended for VR! they only give you each single ride in a grey warehouse: no open area, no people in the ride, no funfair sound. The realistic nauseating sensation is there, but it's only half of the fun, when you try them individually in a closed warehouse with nothing else around, feeling like a technician testing the thing on your own. Visiting the Fair Ground itself (which is possible for flat-screen) to walk around the park, people, day/night cycle, sounds and pick a ride by walking…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Are you kidding me? I've bought that game becouse it says "VR Expierence" and guess what? You just see a screen like in movie theater and you watch you ride on a screen while wearing VR set! What is the point of that??? Are you can't even run it in VR without running it on desctop so it lowers your CPU and it's emposible to expierence anything! Fix it! Or give me my money back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've purchased this game for VR and there is no VR - it seems it was removed from the game in a recent update. Edit: You can restore the VR functionality. Highlight game in your Steam library, right click mouse & select "Properties", now select "Betas" and next to "Beta Participation" set that to "v240". Click the green Update button to restore the previous version allowing you to access the VR Experience again. Although it is extremely bad implemented. You need to put you VR away and start…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feedback for Virtual Rides 3 – Accessibility and keyboard control for visually impaired players Dear developers, I am visually impaired and I really enjoy playing Virtual Rides 3. I would like to suggest a few improvements that would make the game more accessible and easier to control without relying on vision: 1. Automatic closing of safety bars: In the Hurricane (Breakdance), the staff member collects tickets and closes the safety bars, which helps me know when the ride is full. In other…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game again after three years, and when I launched it, SteamVR popped up, but the VR mode was gone?! I was shocked. Following the method in [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/515260/discussions/0/4303823318973716845/]this post, reverting to an older version did allow me to enter VR "spectator" mode, but I couldn't use the Quest controllers, which was absurd. Wasn't this game designed for VR? New DLC keeps rolling out, which looks interesting, but what's the point if you can't play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game explains why the Indie Scene is far from dead, Good developers end up making one of the most addictive Ride Controlling Experiences. Having this game published on steam is good rep for Simulation Games, showing there is more than just having a park. Controlling a ride is even better! and with the ride Updates still going strong , this game is definitely worth it. (Actually its more of a Simulator than a game :P ) EDIT: As of 2018 No update has been recieved to this game, You need…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't been playing this game for long but I'm already addicted and I have to keep loading it back up even for only a few moments just to customise my rides a little more! I love immersing myself in games and pretending that I'm some sort of worker, in this case, someone who works on a fairground ride. I absolutely loved Virtual Rides 2 and spent many hours on that, Virtual Rides 3 (THIS GAME) takes it even further and even has little fair ground workers who go up to each of your riders and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an Amazing game. the rides are detailed and customizable as hell, i love it at night with all the beautiful lights. Just one issue, (Thanks for Helping with the Jingles and Music) i recommend you get this if you love fair rides! :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →virtual rides 3 is amazing the detail and gameplay is beautiful, i love them park style games and VR3 have put alot of effort in to this game the customisation of the rides that you can do and the unlockables you can unlock via ride operating theres alot of things you can do to make the ride your own and diffrent styles of themeing and the ride staff that help you out on the rides and depending on the time youll will get more busy as it gets later on into the day, overall i completly recommend…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Experienced on the Meta Quest 2 You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/jGiDcKGdCxU This is a tough review because the VR experience here has several big negatives. However, the positives are also very big. So in the end, I do think this is a premium VR experience and worth the money. If you're a VR roller coaster fan / amusement park / carnival ride fan, then this will be a must buy for you, as long as you're okay with some of the negatives I'm about to mention. The biggest…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game, it has already many cool rides and it has a great tutorial on the beginning how it all works. The graphics are great and the possibility to add custom jingles and music makes the game more awesome! I hope for many more awesome rides and features in the future! I will keep playing the game for hours and hours, keep up the great work! :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They’re quite different in terms of concepts. But in terms of ride games in general, I would say this is on par with planet coaster. Very happy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is too buggy for a "full" release. The game is mostly in German and it feels like it's been built in Garys Mod.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I don't really like the amount of DLCs, it's still a wonderful game that definitely deserves more attention
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hi Virtual Rides 3, very nice game, easy to play and add you own music, jingles, themes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DISLIKED becouse of the new DLC content... the game is good fun and all but i have to pay an exstra bucks for ride??? i bought the game thinking it was a bit expensive becouse it is.. but and additional dollars for ride..... rip
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →autism simulator 10/10. For peoples how don`t like crowdes so much, then they rides atractions virtually (planet coaster, this game, any other simular games). I`m one of then. Amount of rides, i think, don`t much with cost
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A little laggym but interesting to look around.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(PCDD) Virtual Rides 3 - Funfair Simulator $6.11 (DRM: Steam) via Gamesplanet. ow.ly/9av050Wz0Xy
unlabelledView post →If you love the thought of owning and operating your very own fairground ride then this is about as good as you can get. Customise your ride's look and theme, add your own collection of music/sound effects for that full on feel. The software could do with a quick polish to smooth up the game play and graphics but for the price it's at, then you can't really complain. My only gripe is my Salsa, or Waltzer as it's better known could be in a better place on the park as there's nothing but tree's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a nerd or a thoosie (like me), you would love this game. I love the customisation, great graphics, Realistic, nerdy. If the devs read this, i want this in VR4 KMG XXL Bumper Cars Miami KMG Tango Tagada Zamperla Disco Traveling Coasters Better Camera Angles More Effects (like snow and Haze) Add most importantly, ASSEMBLING RIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know if sounds like im complaing but asking for too many things but thats bc i love the game rather than being picky
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not opening.Used to open and say something about a bootstrapper,clicked yes or allow then it disappeared.Now when i press play now it does not do anything.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More then a review but a history of my kirmes hobby and kirmes video games... Since my folks took me to Wildwood NJ at the age of 5, I've been a huge fan of portable amusement rides. I remember being in my stroller and seeing the HUSS "Pirate" on Fun Pier for the first time and I was a-gasp at the vision of this thing. I couldn't believe an industrial sized version of a kids boat toy could exist in real life. Discovering other rides from a childs perspective was just as awe inspiring such…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So you want to buy Virtual Rides 3 right? You should after developers fixed all problems I had with the game it's now insane so buy it now until the sale is on :) + Physic People interacting with stands and rides Option to fully customize your ride (even name) New ride has been added Big Spin - Somebody says it crashes a lot. (my game didn't crash once in those 72 hours I played so depend on you PC maybe) Like I said I changed the rating because developers fixed almost every issue I had with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Apart from experiencing some performance issues at first and having to adjust the settings, I really enjoyed playing this game. You can really see the developers’ dedication to this game. Yes, there are still some bugs and the performance issues need to be addressed as well. But all things considered, I really had a great time. If you want more visitors on your fairground, I recommend changing the time to something around 6 pm or later. It took me some time to figure out the controls at first,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Virtual Rides 3, developed by Pixelsplit Simulations, offers a unique and immersive experience for players who’ve ever dreamed of running their own fairground. Rather than focusing on the business aspects of a theme park simulator, this game places its attention squarely on the heart of the carnival: the rides themselves. It’s a love letter to the sights, sounds, and sensations of the funfair, letting players take control of every flashing light, rotating seat, and booming speaker. From…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game defo the money
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice new update and it's free. This game is woth buying. Great Job!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Forget all the solo-simulators of funfair rides, and stick with EVERYTHING IN ONE! This is the game for all you funfair freaks out there!! You won't regret it, if you LOVE simulation! With rides based off existing machines, such as: - the KMG Afterburner (Roundtrip) - Huss Magic (Rising Sun) - Huss Breakdance (Hurricane) - KMG inversion 12 (Casino Swing) - Mondial Eclipse (Centrifuge) - Schwarzkopf Monster III (The Tentacle) All rides are FULLY CUSTOMISABLE, you can change the ride name…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a simple review- this game is A W E S O M E!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it not work for macbook air so it good for macbook pro
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not perfect overall but the best on the Market today
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best funfair/kermis simulator to date. It did take a lot of patience and trial and error with the graphics settings to get it to run smoothly, but I'm using an old 2013 MacBook. If you want excellent graphics, you should have a new, high spec machine. Remember that it is a simulator - not a game - so only get it if you want to operate rides.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly not worth the money!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to love this game, the vibes are immaculate but the controls are hideous, the UI doesn't explain itself and half of the options don't seem to actually do anything, and the tutorial just softlocks itself on the first task. Devastating, because everything about the actual atmosphere is absolute perfection.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing detail on the ride models themselves and great physics as they move. Controlling them is a lot of fun. Sometimes there can be some odd glitches when using the panels in the operators booth over the UI to control the rides, and sometimes it can be hard to do precise controls on these panels. Using the UI to control the rides is glitch free and easy, but I do prefer to use the panels for added realism. It would also be useful to be able to move the camera when viewing the panel so its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its really good game its fun and nice to chill out on
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only thing is missing is the rides they advertise when you load into the fairground
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Funfair Ride Simulator with really good graphics and great Ride Simulations ! You have a big Fairground (Free roam actually) full of Rides to choose from and you can customize them to the Maximum ! You can even play your own songs on the Rides Speakers ! And you can use your Mic to entertain your customers while they ride ! I played for 40 hours now and i'm still having fun (i even got all achievements too! So if you try to find a fun and enjoyable Ride simulator and always wanted to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A waste of money, don't bother installing as it crashes on startup :-)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i bought it and it was a big mistake.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it on the release day. Refunded immediately. Game didn't have any updates since the release that makes gameplay more fun. It's controls are like you are using a Spreadsheet application. Very boring and basic control system with little interaction, nowhere similar to real funfair ride controls. I will change my review if they will improve ride controls.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy playing other funfair simulators then this is definately for you :) Personally i have played a lot of funfair sims in the past and this has got to be up there with the best of them. The fact that the rides are pretty cool and well animated, textured and cool sounds too not too forget to mention the fact that people can ride all of the rides, also there are staff that help with the restraints which is pretty cool too. you can also customise every aspect of each of the rides with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is great! I can recommend it to anyone who likes to operate rides. The environment is awesome and a lot more advanced compared to Virtual Rides 2. There are a couple of bugs still present in the game at this point but they are not that big of a deal and I'm sure the devs will take care of these within the next couple of weeks. I hope they will reintroduce some of VR2's features like the ipad control panel as well as a more logic keyboard control, this is at the moment very strange.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a very good game for people who would like to operate a funfair ride one day i do wish it was a tiny bit better with how the people react and look but over than that its a great game.

unlabelledView post →Oh my God. Why have they allowed anyone to buy this? You can build the rides, and basically with a few camera you can change colour and wonder around. I did this on an Amiga! Truly the worst game ive ever purchased. DONT DO IT! I have never asked for a refund. I'm demanding one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth the money. Game looks simple and the on really can be played on pc. The rides you can go on in vr are set in a building no other scenery and two npc just stand there. You have to take your headset of just to start and stop the ride.
