Critic Reviews for Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality
Reviews
Joe Juba (Game Informer)
6.5/10
“The jokes and references are funny, but the gameplay is too shallow to be engaging”
Blake Morse (Shacknews)
7/10
“Fans will most definitely enjoy their time in the VR world of Virtual Rick-ality, but they shouldn’t go in expecting to have their minds totally blown either.”
Kyle Hanson (Attack of the Fanboy)
4.5/5 stars
“Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is a short experience, but it delivers on almost all of its promise. Those with a VR headset and little to play will find a lot to enjoy here, even if it’s over far too soon.”

Attack of the Fanboy | Kyle Hanson | 3.5 / 5 stars | 04-24-2017 | Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is a short experience, but it delivers on almost all of its promise. Those with a VR headset and little to play will find a lot to enjoy here, even if it's over far too soon. | Read review |
CGMagazine | Jed Whitaker | 8.5 / 10 | 05-17-2017 | Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is the must-play game for fans of the show that own a VR headset. | Read review |
Chalgyr's Game Room | Nick Herber | 7.5 / 10 | 05-08-2017 | Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is an odd game to say the least, but it has the potential to pull in two different sets of audiences. The first is of course, those who are fans of the Rick and Morty show. Those who enjoy Job Simulator should also find a lot to like about this title in Virtual Reality. While it is a little light on content, what is here is well-made and a lot of fun. | Read review |
Critical Hit | Geoffrey Tim | 7 / 10 | 04-16-2018 | It's Job Simulator with a coat of nihilistic, irreverent paint. It's fun, funny and indulgently self-aware. It's undoubtedly a must-have for fans, but like the character you play as, it's a disposable clone. | Read review |
Destructoid | Chris Carter | 7 / 10 | 04-20-2017 | Rick and Morty Simulator: Virtual Rick-ality's irreverence reminds me a lot of JazzPunk, but more grounded and less adventurous, with all of the good and bad a structure like that entails. It takes a little while for the comedy to ramp up (which, in a short game isn't ideal), but when it does, it hits all the right marks. Hopefully a follow-up will take us to more exotic locations and double down on a few of the tougher puzzles. | Read review |
Digital Chumps | Eric Layman | 8 / 10 | 10-18-2017 | Virtual Rick-ality celebrates the existential comedy and breathless sociopathy of Rick and Morty. Like Job Simulator, it excels at creating natural space and filling it eccentric objectives and impulsive mischief. As a Rick and Morty product and a true second-generation VR title, Virtual Rick-ality is a comfortable calamity. | Read review |
DualShockers | Taylor Lyles | 7 / 10 | 05-13-2018 | For $29.99, Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality is a game worth adding to your library. It may have a linear design and a short length, but it is still a great game that stays true to the Rick and Morty IP, and I look forward to future Rick and Morty titles. | Read review |
Game Informer | Joe Juba | 6.5 / 10 | 04-20-2017 | The jokes and references are funny, but the gameplay is too shallow to be engaging | Read review |
GamePro | Manuel Fritsch | 80 / 100 | 04-14-2018 | Virtual Rick-ality offers fans the typical humor and a great recognition value, but can also convince in terms of gameplay. | Read review |
Gamer Escape | Josh McGrath | 6 / 10 | 05-02-2017 | For Rick and Morty fans with cash to burn, this is still quite a fun experience. For most other gamers, though, I’d highly recommend waiting for a price cut or sale. | Read review |
GameZone | Cade Onder | 7.5 / 10 | 05-14-2018 | While the price might be a bit steep, Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is a worthy game to add to your VR collection. | Read review |
Gaming Nexus | Eric Hauter | 8.5 / 10 | 06-15-2018 | While very short, fans of the show will love being able to move around and interact in the world of Rick and Morty. | Read review |
GamingTrend | Ron Burke | 70 / 100 | 04-23-2017 | There's absolutely nothing new to push Virtual Reality and roomspace VR forward in Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality, and it is painfully short with little replay value. Those indictments aside, it's a must-have for anyone who enjoys the dark humor of the show. Perhaps we can Get Schwifty with another run at VR with a longer run time and harder puzzles in the future. | Read review |
Geeks Under Grace | Andrew Feistner | 8 / 10 | 05-11-2018 | If you can get past the crudeness and off color humor, you will find a solid and silly simulation game. You just need to make sure your living space has enough room to play. | Read review |
God is a Geek | Adam Cook | 7.5 / 10 | 04-21-2017 | A short but sweet experience that hopefully sews the seeds for more Rick and Morty VR adventures, though a lower price would be nice next time. | Read review |
GotGame | David Poole | 7.5 / 10 | 03-26-2020 | Owlchemy Labs did a great job bringing their Job Simulator formula to the Rick and Morty universe. While it’s a short experience, there’s plenty of things to experiment with, and tons of secrets to discover. The amount of interactive objects is commendable and fans of the series should love to see all the references. Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is worth picking up for your VR headset if you’re simply a fan of the series looking for something to hold you over in the wait for more episodes. | Read review |
Hardcore Gamer | Jason Bohn | 3.5 / 5 stars | 04-20-2017 | The length issue really does hold back Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality. The time spent in game accomplishes exactly what it should: it's entertaining with plenty of funny moments. Being so short, however, gives the final product an air of disposability. There aren't any reasons to revisit the game when it's done, except to goof around with random things in the garage and maybe slap Rick around again. The actual contents of this offering deserves recognition; there just needs to be more. Nothing is more frustrating than getting into a groove with something only for it to end before it feels finis…. | Read review |
Hey Poor Player | Francis DiPersio | 4 / 5 stars | 05-09-2017 | Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality throws players into madcap mad scientist Rick Sanchez’s meticulously recreated garage-lab to explore its every filthy crevice. | Read review |
Hobby Consolas | Alberto Lloret | 72 / 100 | 04-16-2018 | Rick y Morty console's debut is a VR game that faithfully recreates the animated series' humor and spirit... but in a limited way. The game will last you only 2-3 hours and, even with end game content, it probably won't hook you up (most of it it's minigame repetition). Also, if you have played Job Simulator, "déjà vu" it's guaranteed... | Read review |
IGN | Jon Ryan | 7.6 / 10 | 04-21-2017 | Virtual Rick-ality does a great job emulating the dark humor of the source material, even if it occasionally overindulges in its self-awareness. Smart use of well-established VR minigame mechanics guides you through the experience, and aside from some slight issues navigating the space on a two-sensor Oculus Rift setup, these familiar and fun activities mesh well with the amusing efforts of the writing team and cast. Rick & Morty's first foray into virtual reality is not only a solid VR experience, but the duo's strongest attempt at translating the spirit of the show into a game yet. | Read review |
IGN Italy | Andrea Passero | 7.4 / 10 | 04-21-2018 | A great and funny way to enter (literally) in the Rick and Morty universe. | Read review |
IGN Spain | Victor Sánchez | 6.5 / 10 | 06-06-2018 | Not the perfect Rick & Morty game and not the best adaptation due to the limited tracking capabilites of PS VR. | Read review |
PlayStation LifeStyle | Chandler Wood | 7.5 / 10 | 04-17-2018 | Virtual Rick-ality is for those who love Justin Roiland’s style of humor. Others might find some moderately intriguing puzzles and fun object interactions, but the humor and licensed content are the central constructs that really justify the purchase. | Read review |
PlayStation Universe | Garri Bagdasarov | 7.5 / 10 | 05-09-2018 | Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is a game that fans of the franchise will enjoy. It's a great puzzle game with fantastic writing and voice over work. I just wish it was a bit longer and didn't require so much space for a VR title to enjoy. The game is a real workout. | Read review |
PowerUp! | Leo Stevenson | 8 / 10 | 05-21-2018 | For a VR experience, Rick & Morty Virtual Rick-ality is one of the best around. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to jump back in and take Roy off the grid | Read review |
Shacknews | Blake Morse | 7 / 10 | 05-10-2018 | Fans will most definitely enjoy their time in the VR world of Virtual Rick-ality, but they shouldn't go in expecting to have their minds totally blown either. | Read review |
Sirus Gaming | Gareth Newnham | 7.6 / 10 | 04-26-2018 | Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality is a great adaptation, bringing the twisted humor and fantastical world of Rick and Morty to life in a unique way that only VR is capable of. It’s short enough that you can get through it in a single sitting. However, other than a few surprises for hardcore fans, and puzzle enthusiasts, there’s little reason to come back to C 147 after the credits roll. (It’s gone to hell since the Cronenburgs took over anyway) | Read review |
SpazioGames | Nicolò Bicego | 6.5 / 10 | 04-18-2018 | Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality fails short due to its movement-related problems and its limited gameplay. | Read review |
