While Waiting Review
Review
Feb 04, 2025
While Waiting is already a standout game for 2025. Optillusion wonderfully captures life’s ups and downs with whimsy and grace. It’s a game that tests your patience but equally rewards you. It teaches you things along the way you might already be aware of, but puts it within a practical application to understand it deeper. While Waiting makes the mundane tolerable and entertaining as it tasks you with acceptance.

The Turtle Beach VelocityOne Multi-Shift is as innovative as it is brilliant to use. It’s an accessory for the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race Wheel & Pedal System or another wheel system that makes for the perfect compliment to your simulation setup. Whether you want an H-shifter, a sequential shifter, or a handbrake, you are covered here. The versatile and convertable shifter adapts to whatever you need it to be, reducing the need to buy multiple hardware items for nearly the same function. Turtle Beach really nailed it with this one, and the Multi-Shift is it.

Simulation racing hardware is competitive and varied, offering everything from budget-friendly plastic wheels to high-end direct drive systems costing thousands. Finding the sweet spot between price, performance, and features can be tricky. Enter the VelocityOne Race Wheel & Pedal System from Turtle Beach, a compelling contender aiming to bridge that gap, but still leans toward more of a “entry-level enthusiast”. While not perfect, it delivers a remarkably immersive experience that I prefer in a lot of ways. Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race Wheel & Pedal System is a complete package that has a lot of initial compatibility and instant setup that will get you racing moments after getting started.
