FlatOut 4: Total Insanity VR is the chaotic arcade racer VR has been missing, delivering thrilling destruction, excellent immersion, a huge variety of content, and surprisingly polished VR mechanics despite a few early-access technical issues.

FlatOut 4 is a little rough around the edges.

FlatOut 4 is a well-made and well-presented racing game that does a lot to escape the level of 'mediocre' that falls among other racers. With modes like beer pong, survival and time trail to choose from, FlatOut 4 is a great experience from start to finish.

In so many ways this feels like a driving game from another age, but no matter how much you miss old school arcade racers FlatOut 4 will end up driving you crazy.

With its weird physics issues and inept AI, FlatOut 4 is a frustrating game that simply disappoints on every level.
