About Meteora
Meteora is an indie racing game where you control a meteor competing in chaotic survival races through a young universe. Developed by Big Boot Games and released December 31 2026 it blends arcade-style combat with high-speed racing. Players dodge chase and destroy rival meteors while using power-ups to gain the edge. Available on PC PS5 and PS VR2 the game focuses on single-player action with a distinct visual style. Its core loop revolves around quick reflexes and strategic use of abilities to outlast opponents. The game appeals to fans of fast-paced competitive racing but adds a sci-fi twist by making you a literal rock hurtling through space.
Gameplay
In Meteora you control a meteor using a mix of movement and combat mechanics. Each race is a frenetic challenge where you navigate asteroid fields and avoid collisions while launching projectiles at rivals to disable them. Power-ups let you boost shields or unleash area damage but require timing to collect without slowing down. The camera stays tight on your meteor emphasizing speed and spatial awareness. Races last 2-5 minutes with each round forcing you to adapt to changing environments and enemy tactics. There’s no pause so every session demands full attention. While the controls are simple the difficulty ramps quickly as opponents learn your patterns. Progression unlocks new meteors with slight stat bonuses but the core loop remains consistent throughout the campaign.
What Players Think
Meteora holds a 78% critic rating with a 6.2/10 user score. Players report an average completion time of 14 hours though 43% finish in under 10. Community moods are split 35% annoyed 28% amused 19% impressed and 18% bored. A common review states “Fun in short bursts but too punishing for long sessions.” Achievement completion sits at 71% with 120 total trophies. Price point on PC is $29.99 with PS VR2 owners spending 17% more time on average. Critics praise its visual flair but note the lack of multiplayer and repetitive level design.
PlayPile's Take
Meteora works best as a 15-minute diversion rather than a long-term commitment. The $30 price is fair for casual players who enjoy twitch-based racing but it lacks depth for hardcore fans. With 120 achievements and a 71% completion rate it’s a decent time investment if you tolerate its punishing difficulty. Skip if you prefer strategic racing over chaotic arcade action. The PS VR2 version adds immersion but doesn’t fix core flaws. Worth a rental to test if its chaotic charm suits your playstyle.
