Golf Pool VR Reviews

Buggy to the point I can't get past the tutorial. A shame really.

Game doesn't work without VR headseat!!!! Stupid devs lied to me, but atleast I got my money back EDIT: "People who work to bring games to you." and I brought it back to you!

This game is just terrible... The golf club is way to sensitive to control... You are trying to line up a shot for hours. The sounds effects and the voice acting no effort at all. This game is no where near a playable...

Golf Pool VR is a very relaxing experience with some of the most beautiful visuals I've ever seen in VR. The gameplay is simple to understand so that it works great for people who're new to VR. My biggest complaint is the lack of background music and having to wait for the AI in singleplayer mode. Whilst you can't change the latter, the lack of music and simple gameplay make this a great game for listening to a podcast. Definitely check it out if you are interested.

It has been roughly 6 months since release, and we haven't seen an update yet. The concept here is great, I enjoyed playing for a bit, but set down the game with the intention of waiting for more updates. I haven't checked on the game between release and now, and am currently disappointed to find that it hasn't been updated once in the ~six months since release. For this reason I don't recommend the game. I should mention that the environments are great and that the gameplay is decent, if you want to play pool at golf scale in VR (oddly specific request), this is your only option. Edit: Good to hear that the game is still being worked on! Stuff takes time, and that's OK, there's nothing to apologize for. I'll definitely check back post-update(s) and update my review as I see fit.

With the new update most of the issues I had with the game regarding the aiming are fixed. I was able to play without experiencing frustration which makes the game pretty good now. If you like the idea of mixing golf and pool you'll surely like the game. The addition of arcade adds more fun to the game and I hope more will be added in the future or maybe different rules for pool games! The graphics, sounds, and level design are pretty nice and there's even some humour which I thought was pretty funny. So for me it's definitely a good buy with the new update, keep up the good work!!

This game is GOOD FUN, could be a bit better if made a few improvements: -Very slow paced, takes way too long for AI to hit the ball making it boring (Dev was good in addressing) -Glitches - floor sometimes at eye level, unable to do arcade mode on other maps other than sci-fi, aiming option to just hit it like golf without the trigger lock angles as much too etc. Left handed needs to be set everytime sometimes need to hit it backwards on the other side due to what seems like a glitch prob for lefties. Its close to good!

First let me say that the environments for this game are very well done. Each one is uniquely detailed with superb graphics. However, I found the gameplay to be boring as F. It's just a lot of standing around looking at the ground watching the cpu beat you. Lining up shots can be frustrating because the aiming lines are highly sensitive prior to locking in the shot with fine tune aim that can only be controlled in increments. And sometimes, the sensitive aiming lines do not even show up on the ball you want to hit. The cpu also has a timer for some reason and you stand around for too long watching this timer until it is your turn. The cpu then seems to nail just about every shot and there is no way to change the difficulty. I was also constantly hitting balls accidentally with my club and this of course counts as a shot. This game is interesting to play maybe once, but I can't see wanting to keep playing.

2 of my favorite things combined! The game feels good overall. However, I have noticed that sometimes the balls hit seemingly nothing, and they go way off course. It's pretty difficult to make some of the longer shots at first, but when you get used to the game, you can pull off some pretty cool shots, and it feels great. The environments are very good looking, and surprisingly very relaxing. Excited to see more where this game goes in the future!

This game is absolutely incredible for a lot of reasons. If you have ever played pool in VR before, then I am sure you have experienced how insanely difficult it is to play accurately without the ability to rest your hands on the table while you take a shot. It seems that this game was born out of that difficulty. For that reason, this game exists perfectly at the intersection of "ridiculous" and "practical." There is something completely absurd about standing atop a pool table with a golf putter, but at the same time it feels so natural. It really makes you wonder why a game like this doesn't exist in real life, outside of VR. This seems like the perfect game to play in the backyard during a cookout or something. That said, perhaps the reason it doesn't exist in real life is this simple: it's actually pretty hard. I promise you that the first time you play, you will do horribly. The second time you play, you will still be horrible. But by the tenth game, you will probably really start to get the hang of it. For this reason, it's definitely good that there are both single-player and multiplayer modes. That way, you can practice against the computer before trying your hand against friends. Of course, this is an early access game, so there is definitely a lot of space for more content. As it stands, it is a pretty small game, but it is absolutely worth the price because the developer has done so much with so little. There are 5 different maps you can play the game on, ranging from a simple garden to a complex, futuristic, neon city. The game is filled with cute little touches, like the penguins who cheer for you on the Antarctica map whenever you sink a shot or the robot head on the city map that you can smack around anytime you are frustrated you miss a shot. The attention to detail is fantastic: in a game where the main attraction is the ridiculous notion of playing put-put on a pool table, you wouldn't expect the developer to pay attention to details like making leaves blow in the wind or making butterflies fly around trees or setting up the occasional hover-car drive-by. These efforts absolutely contribute to the absurdity and, therefore, the fun. Regarding the gameplay: it is about as good as you could expect. Just like any other VR game that requires any level of stillness and precision, the game is simply limited by the player's hands. It is very difficult to place a shot well, given that there is no counter-weight on the club (as there would be in real life). However, the game includes two different targeting systems which really help to significantly mitigate this. There are some occasional bugs. For instance, sometimes a ball will move in a way that seems very unnatural or it will appear to hop into the air out of nowhere. However, these bugs are few and far between. For an early-access title, the bugs are remarkably infrequent. Overall, I cannot overstate how much fun I have had with this game. It's difficult, rewarding, simple, ridiculous, and just a blast. Playing it with friends is doubly fun because you get to listen to them get progressively more frustrated every time they miss a shot that they spent 5 minutes setting up. Ultimately, I might even say this is my favorite VR game. It doesn't have the complexity or scope of Half Life: Alyx or Boneworks and it doesn't have the mechanical creativity of something like Superhot VR, but it makes use of the unique benefits offered by VR to provide an insanely fun, albeit very simple, experience. If not my favorite VR game, it is at least in my top 5. Definitely give it a shot!
