Final Soccer VR Reviews

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] This game sounds amazing ... on the HTC Vive with vive trackers. I do get jealous of those trackers and wish they would come to the Oculus Rift in some fashion. In any event, I can only review the game that I played on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers. I do recommend using a full roomscale setup, otherwise you won't be able to reach the entire width of the net to stop shots on goal. I should also admit that I am not a soccer / football fan. However, I do enjoy playing both Headmaster and Header Goal VR Being Axel Rix. They are both very fun, arcade games based on soccer. They are very different from Final Soccer VR obviously. Those games are focused on heading footballs. This game is focused on being a goalie (as mentioned, you can't kick without those Vive trackers). There is arcade mode, simulation mode, and story mode. I was confused by story mode, it seemed to be Arcade / Simulation mode, only you chould choose unlocked levels of either simulation or arcade mode. So there really wasn't a story afterall. I found simulation mode to be not very fun at all. The graphics are nice, but at the end of the day it's just guys doing free kicks right at you. Granted, sometimes you have to catch the ball instead of just blocking the ball. And the levels get progressively harder. But after you played a few, it really feels repetitive very quick. I liked arcade mode a lot more. There was at least more variety to it. But I don't think that's worth $20 alone. I don't even think that's worth $10. Not when Headmaster and Header Goal VR exist and offer way more fun & polished arcade style soccer based games. At least for the Oculus Rift with Touch controllers, I cannot recommend this game. Maybe for the Vive my recommendation would be totally different given the extra content they have (if you have Vive trackers as well). Rate 4.5/10 very close call, but I can't recommend given the price & quality of content. I would recommend at $5 or lower if you like soccer and want to experience being a goalie in VR. Just wish there was an actual game mode where an entire game is played.

Really fun game, runs great, and there are tons of challenges for you to complete. Just make sure you don't have anything fragile near your play area. R.I.P lightbulb 2015-2016 EDIT: Badge :)

[PROS] This is the only game I'm aware of that supports full body tracking. (VR Chat is not a game imo). I can't tell you how awesome it is. Everything feels real because of full body tracking. It's a good workout. Graphics are more than decent. There are a lot of game modes. There's also multiplayer, but I didn't try it. (I doubt there's anyone online anyways, but that's not a problem for this game) [CONS] It would be nice to see more than just your hands and feet. You will need more sensors. That is if your VR system supports them. An 8 ft ceiling is not high enough. I think for the best experience you need at least 10 feet if not even more depending on how tall you are and how high you can jump. To get the best experience you need a high ceiling. I almost destroyed my controllers or ceiling while trying to catch some balls as goalie. This isn't the developer's fault. It's just life. They have mitigated this problem by allowing you to be virtually taller. It's just that this kills some of the fun. It is awesome having to jump as a goalie. [VERDICT] Even if you're not a soccer fan, I highly recommend this game.

FUN Game Good basic game worth the sale price. +Exercise +Lots of goals or missions to complete to keep interest + Graphics -+ challenging sometimes it seems to go through hands or curve lots... Didn't notice the kicking option that can add depth and offer more content to extend its life

There are a few issues with this game which made me request a refund. The first and most important one is the fact that the developers seem to have forgotten to implement the option to rotate the playspace. I play with an Oculus Rift-3 sensor setup. My playspace is 2 by 2.5 meters. The game automatically selects the front two cameras to face the goal. Sadly that happens to be the narrow field of my playspace (2 meters). This prevents me from reaching the outer ends of the goal which renders the game completely unplayable as it makes me hit my walls. Yes, there is a movement-assist option but it makes me nauseous within seconds as even the slightest movement shifts your head sideways. It makes me feel like I'm drunk. Apart from the gloves being way too big, they are also out of position. My hands seemed to be located in the fingertips of the gloves. Which leads you to miss the ball. The sound effects sound as if they have been recorded in mono at 56kbps. This is definitely not Triple-A quality. The game could use a lot more polishing. I would not recommend this game unless you have at least 3x3 meters playspace and you don't care about the points I mentioned above.

This felt more like a tech demo than a game. I was especially interested in trying it since it utilized body trackers for kicking the ball, but the physics felt really off, like I didn't have much control. Overall, it seemed to lack polish with a lot of the same sounds being reused again and again. The best feature of this is probably playing as a goalie, but few would actually have the real space for it to feel natural. I think charging $20 for this is pretty shocking, and shows how much farther the VR community needs to go to start bringing valuable content to the forefront. I purchased this for $10 and ended up returning it.

I'm a huge Arsenal fan, watch European football every weekend. This game is outstanding. I'm sliding all over the room, diving left and right, and sweating like I'm in the game. Simple gameplay but so much fun -- worth the money and then some!

This is sincerely the most fun I have had with my Vive since I got it back in May! For us football fans this is a must have. The atmosphere of the stadium (only one, but with cool weather effects), the ball physics and glove reactions make it really close to the real thing!. 10/10 and fully recommended!

This is potentially a fun little game especially with two player. Unfortunately it's not very well executed and needs some work. Graphics are pretty good, with realistic rooms, pitches, goals and players. It's a simple game - people will take shots at you (or in arcade mode, cannons fire stuff at you) and you have to save them. Sounds good. There are two details which spoil it: - The AI takes crazy looping shots with insane amounts of dip and swerve. This means that unless you're playing in a huge empty space with high ceilings, almost every shot you risk hitting the ceiling, or smashing in to something. - To compensate for this they have a movement amplification mechanic - you can set it to move you further than you actually move. Makes sense, except that it's a total VR no no. It feels disorienting and weird. All the precise movement tracking that makes VR/Vive so good is ditched. Intuitively you know how far you have to move to save the ball - but the game messes it up. The crazy looping shots I would say is fine on some high level of difficulty/deep in to a challenge. But it's literally from the second or third shot that I can't play safely. And not just me, my 7 year old nephew either. This is in a space where we can play the likes of Raw Data, Onward, Table tennis, hattrick header and many others just fine. The movement amplification I think is just a bad mechanic. It makes sense right up until you actually put a headset on. Instead they should shrink the goal, 1:1 movement tracking is non negotiable. On the positive side, the multiplayer is a nice idea and works surprisingly well. One player is just playing one of those phone/tablet penalty games and the other is trying to save them. Fairly easy to set up, and it's actually the only game mode where you're facing penalties taken from the spot. Also weirdly, it's the game mode with the most realistic shots by far. Would not recommend this unless you have an obstacle free play area the size of a real football goal, with clearence above it.

In a nutshell you're a goalkeeper and your job is to...save the goal! The game is basic but is also 'to' realistic and immersive. When you play it you get so carried away with the moment you really think your there, on a football field, between the goalposts, in a stadium and your instincts will make you dive to save the ball like you would when you were a kid - I did it as a 42 year old man, and it wasn't a pretty site for my wife to see me dive over the sofa head first and end up in a crumpled heap chasing a virtual ball that didn't exist! Embarrassing! As I touched upon - the environment is immersive enough to think you're there - this game needs at least 2 by 2 metre play space in my opinion - best to have 2.5 metre width. I think the graphics by VR standard are very good - they fool by brain enough to think I'm there. There's a big stadium; a noisy crowd; flashing camera, multiple moving footballers on screen - out of all sport games for the Vive this one feels the most realistic - well, as realistic as a VR can be with the current movement technology. The audio gives a feeling of a big match atmosphere. With this game, your buddy can also download a free app which enables them to take a shot at goal on their phone and then you have to save shots wearing the Vive. Though the game is basic at its core it also gives you an indication as to how a 'full on' football game could be played in VR in the future. If ankle Vive sensors were to come out, we could all play online where one shoots and one saves. We could also have it where we could field a whole football team where the VR user doesn't run but just receives a ball, looks up, and makes the right pass - so many possibilities. I think this game should also have ability to header the game - that would be awesome. In this generation (without ankle sensors) we could have online play/local play where the computer crosses; one Vive user heads the ball goalward to score; another Vive user is the keeper and saves it. There's already football heading games for the Vive - this game should introduce heading and combine with goal saving - that would be awesome. I'm recommending this game. The smallest of play spaces won't be enough, you will dive, you will jump up and you will hit a low hanging lights from the ceiling - that's if you have no self control like me! You may not play it loads but when you do you may well enjoy it! The only final point I would add is - the game involves fast movement of the head when stretching to save a goal - I was fine with it, but if you're a First day VR newbie you may feel slight head lightness - everyone else should be fine.
