    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express mixed feelings about the game's optimization, noting that performance was better on Steam compared to Viveport, despite the game's graphics being satisfactory. Some areas could benefit from increased detail, particularly in antialiasing, but overall, performance is considered strong post-upgrade.

    • “Graphics are fine; some levels could be a little bit more detailed. Antialiasing, especially on the ping pong table and both rackets, is great though. Performance is top.”
    • “Performance (prior to my upgrade) was better through Steam (purchased) than the Vive application (Viveport subscription).”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability in single-player mode due to the AI's lack of challenge, but it excels in multiplayer tennis, providing a more engaging and competitive experience.

    • “The AI is playable, but I play tennis and they don’t provide much of a challenge. However, the multiplayer tennis is what this game does incredibly well.”

    • “With different character builds and strategies to explore, I find myself replaying the game just to try out new approaches.”
    • “The AI is playable, but I find it lacks challenge. The multiplayer tennis is where this game truly excels.”
    • “Once you've played through the game, there's little incentive to return. The lack of varied content makes replaying feel tedious.”
    • “The game offers minimal changes in subsequent playthroughs, making it hard to stay engaged after the initial experience.”

    • “I don't know if the game is optimized well or not, but other games with better graphics could run smoothly before my PC upgrade.”
    • “Graphics are fine, but some levels could be a little more detailed. The antialiasing, especially on the ping pong table and both rackets, is great, though performance is top.”
