#SelfieTennis Reviews

This is the best VR game I have ever played. There's a lot of hidden secrets to find when you're just messing around. It's just a great game to hang out in and relax.

This one was the best #Something the developer VRUnicorns made, to be honest. Like, I really like the concept: you play baseball, but with yourself. It's really polished compared to VR Skiing (just that game didn't feel very polished) One thing that I don't like is that the tennis AI can do random stuff that can ruin a highscore. I was blocked by a tennis ball sitting on a tennis ball sitting on a tennis ball. Like, are you serious? Also, sometimes the AI just straight walks in front of you without a care. But still, it's probably that best out of these all. (also, not worth the price btw, the game gets a little old too fast)

I am really enjoying my time with #SelfieTennis so far. It's really hard to describe it, but it's basically a sandbox tennis game. You are playing tennis, with yourself. You serve the ball, and your view teleports to the receiving end for you to hit the ball again. And you can take selfies. It's silly, and there's not currently much to it other than playing tennis (in VR) and attacking mascots with balls. But it's also very satisfying.

I find this is more like a gimmick than anything. I bought it, loaded it once, and haven't tried it again. It's sort of interesting, but there's not much to it.

It's fun for the first few minutes, but the amount of content doesn't justify the $20 purchase. There just isn't a lot you can do besides hit the ball back and forth.

Not a terrible game, but definitely not worth the asking price and just feels like it is lacking content. If this was a $5 game, it'd be amazing, but I can't recommended it for $20USD, hell I'd struggle to recommend it for $10. Purely because there isn't much to it, if feels good but gets old quick. :( Also a lack of menu's or any kind of instruction is very poor, no one should have to fiddle about to work things out or rely on reading the steam description and/or forums in 2017. I believe I read that the dev has a anti-menu policy in their VR games, why? Why make your games a pain in the neck? Menu's can be done very well and quite creatively in VR.

This game was 25% off (~$15), so I decided it may be worth it. I was wrong. I played it for five minutes and ran out of things to do. Additionally, the one thing that it does, it doesn't do well. If you swing too fast, the racquet passes through the ball. You cannot put any type of spin on the ball, and it just doesn't seem like the ball is going in the direction that it should. Overall, it's cute, and I would probably pick it up for about $2.99. However, it definitely isn't worth the current price, or even the sale price for that matter.

It is very difficult to describe this game in English words... Why you ask? You're a selfie taking unicorn on a floating tennis court in the middle of the sky, with randomly appearing creatures with tennis balls for heads, and clouds for sportswear. When you kill them, they turn into hearts. Kill those hearts, and they turn into more hearts. You can then kill those new hearts to earn some unlockables. Meanwhile, while all this is going on, you play tennis...by yourself! I know that's a lot to take in, but below you will find my more in depth review: #SelfieTennis starts you off on a decently sized tennis court. There are many "Ballpeople" all around the court in various different locations such as; on the bell tower, on the edge of the net, on top of the walls, and on the sides of the court. By Incapacitating the Ballpeople, you can earn hearts. This is done by either; one, physically hitting them if they are in the range of your play-area. Two, throwing your racket at them, or three, swinging the ball in their direction. In order for the hearts to spawn, the Ballpeople must actually fall off of the cliff. Once this is done, a heart will float up in its place, and you can collect it by using the same methods I previously mentioned for killing the Ballpeople (Minus #2). After collecting the heart, the heart will spawn smaller versions of itself. Collecting these occasionally give you items like; New rackets, new balls, and a variety of power-ups. There is a ton of content for all three of these categories, and it is a ton of fun to try to collect all of them. You can activate these items by using your touchpad. Left touchpad lets you select the ball, and right lets you select your racket. Also keep in mind that when you restart the game, all of the items you unlocked will no longer be available for you to use. All of this stuff, and I haven't even mentioned the core aspect of this game: Tennis! The way the gameplay works is pretty self-explanatory. You activate the racket by holding down the right trigger, and the ball by holding down the left. After serving the ball, you are automatically teleported to the other side of the court in the general area of where the ball is going to land. You then begin hitting the ball back and forth to yourself, hence the name "SelfieTennis". The goal of this game is to see how many times you can hit the ball back and forth before you miss it or before you hit the ball out of bounds. Going for your personal best is very addicting. The physics of the game are very accurate, although there are times when the tennis ball seems to go through your racket. The difficulty of this game is that of real tennis. Someone who is an actual tennis player vs someone who has never played before, has a much greater advantage at this game. #SelfieTennis also includes 44 total Steam achievements that you can try to unlock. Its very fun and addictive to go through and try to unlock them all. Some of the achievements also include a small joke in their title and/or description. Not only does this game live up to its name with the fact that you play tennis with yourself, but it also lives up to its name because you can actually take selfies! By pressing the grip button in-game, you activate a selfie stick that you can use to take a picture of yourself in front of whatever you want at any given moment. This photo can then be uploaded to your Twitter account straight from the game, or saved to your computer. Your avatar in the game is a unicorn. Your color can be changed by hitting yourself with the racket. All in all, I highly recommend picking up this VR title. It's got great immersion, is a lot of fun, has a high replay value, gives a great amount of exercise, and is very entertaining in it's own goofy way. SelfieTennis takes full advantage of room-scale and motion controllers, and is tracked next to perfectly!

This game is quite cute, and I really enjoyed the environment. That said, I can't thumbs-up a game I got bored of after two minutes. There's no real "game" here, just a mediocre tennis mechanic and a cute environment. EDIT: If you want VR tennis, the newly released HoloBall is your best bet. A quarter the price, and much more fun.

I purchased this game and enjoyed it. The controls were fantastic the haptic feedback on your racket hand when you swing is what makes this game awesome. [b]Pros:[/b] [list] [*]Great control scheme [*]Hitting the tennis ball people is a lot of fun [/list] [b]Cons:[/b] [list] [*]Not a lot of content. I played this game for about half an hour and really felt like I experienced all there is to experience. I cant see myself playing this anymore then I have. [*]No AI you hit the ball then teleport across the court and hit it back to yourself [*]No way to freely move. I had to hit the ball near where I wanted to teleport to get there, a means of teleporting to a specific location would improve this game a lot. [*]Price [/list] [b]TLDR:[/b] Overall this game is fun put it is definitely not worth the $20 I have requested a refund but I would gladly repurchase this game and change this review if the price is lowered and when an AI is added to play against similar to WII Tennis.
