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. Customization options and varied backgrounds enhance the experience, but there are suggestions for improving the reward system to better accommodate new players.
“The mechanics feel very real and my special serve also works.”
“Conclusion: great gameplay simulation mode that feels very realistic, really good practice mode.”
“So far so good from me.. I own both Paddle Up and Eleven and this one is my favorite currently.. both graphically and for the gameplay.”
“Periodically, when I relaunch the game, my progress doesn't show up, and I would 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 somebody not 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.”
