The gameplay is praised for its realistic mechanics and effective practice mode, making it a standout in table tennis VR games. However, some users report issues with progress not saving and find the AI to be overly powerful and illogical. Overall, the game offers a solid experience with customizable avatars and various backgrounds, though it could benefit from more forgiving progression for newcomers.
“The mechanics feel very real, and my special serve also works.”
“Conclusion: great gameplay simulation mode that feels very realistic, really good practice mode, good but illogical and kind of overpowered AI.”
“Aside from the core gameplay, which is what I really cared about, you can change the scenery to play at some awesome locations.”
“Periodically, when I relaunch the game, my progress doesn't show up, and I have to regain it from previous gameplay.”
“I found the other table tennis VR games to be mechanical, unforgiving on the AI, and just not welcoming to someone who isn't already pretty decent at playing.”
“For the devs (and these are nitpicky, I admit) - maybe I'd like to see losses give slightly more coins than they do now (like 2 coins, which is almost nothing) - I think that'd be slightly more forgiving to people new to the sport and help with gameplay motivation.”
