When comparing Everest VR vs Vector 36, the Slant community recommends Vector 36 for most people. In the question“What are the best HTC Vive games?” Vector 36 is ranked 37th while Everest VR is ranked 46th. The most important reason people chose Vector 36 is:
The driving behavior is completely physics-based, each change in components placement or input leads to the expected behavior. Skimming close to the surface gives you more lift, so you can afford to lean the ship forward for bigger acceleration. Angling your thrust vector smoothly while high speed drifting around corners is challenging and rewarding at the same time.

Pros
Pro Beautiful presentation
The title used photo realistic graphics in order to fully represent the realism of climbing Mt. Everest. Something that is heightened by the fact that this is a VR title, giving the feeling that you are really there. What is cool about this is that climbing this mountain is not something many will ever experience due to cost and fitness ability, but now anyone can experience it. While obviously not close to the real thing, even at a fraction of that experience, it is something to behold.
Pro Very satisfying feeling of control and speed

Pro Immersive VR cockpit
All important information is integrated into the physical cockpit, which closes around you at the start of each race. You can even get out of the cockpit and walk around your ship on the surface of Mars while waiting for repairs in VR roomscale just to get back in when it is ready to continue the race.
Pro Great Drum 'n' Bass soundtrack
Cons
Con Very short
More a tech demo over an actual game. While there is an experience to be had, the gameplay itself is quite simple and very short, lasting under an hour from start to finish.
Con Clunky garage interface in VR
To finetune parts, like the flight controller, you have to move your head up/down or to the side, because otherwise the menu elements overlap.
Con No multiplayer yet
There is an online leader board, and ghost ships will come soon. But Multiplayer will only be added by the developer, when enough people are playing the game.
