How is this game not so popular? If you like football and VR, this is total must buy. The ball phisics when it comes to heading a football are as real as it goes, the mini games are fun and the story is the closest to Portal humor since Portal 2.
If you are on the fence dont wait anymore. Get it!

A fantastic game which couldn't be played on anything but VR. The physics, graphics, humour and depth of play is absolutely spot on and the developers should be congratulated by the VR community for producing such a professional game. I've noticed it has very few reviews and that's a shame, these guys should be encouraged by the community to keep programming VR games.
If you like football (soccer) you'll love it, if you don't like football I suspect you might become a fan after playing it, or at very least appreciate the art of heading a ball.
If I was to add anything it would be a level where it's a bit more like a proper football match with defenders and a goalkeeper - probably a bit too much to ask for.
To summarise, probably the best game I've played on VR. Well done developers.

An insanely fun VR game which was really well made. The ball physics are excellent and theres a good mix of challenges and levels to keep you going for at least 10-15 hours. More if you play multiplayer (Local). I really enjoyed this game and would recommend to any who like football or good physics based games. Also you dont need a massive play area to play it.

Headmaster is VR's perfect storm: spectacle, physics, and avoidance of the dreaded question, "Couldn't they have made this a non-VR game?". This is one of the rare VR games that, rather than simply being enhanced by the technology, utterly depends on it to exist. Your head's the controller!
The story, writing and voice acting are hilarious: soccer meets Ingsoc in a dystopian Britain where footballers who bring shame upon the sport are forcibly re-educated in ramshackle automated training camps. Will things go according to plan? Will the suspiciously Cleeseian overseer be able to keep things together? And will the slowing-down-music gag ever not be funny?
The genuine challenge posed by the levels extends playtime, avoiding another dreaded question, ''That's it?", while still being balanced enough to avoid frustration. The star system adds replay value. Variations and the slow drip of new mechanics and surprises helps make the experience feel even longer. It really feels like both a real game (rather than an extended tech demo) and an experience.

Great game! The kids love it, they like having competitions with it. It’s refreshing to see a game with an innovative input method.
The portal-like humour really adds to it - highly recommended

Funny, entertaining and for a soccer-hater like me, surprisingly addictive. I'm stuck now at level 31 for quite some time, that's a pity. If this lasts much longer, I might lose the attraction.

Weird game that'll have you headbanging - be VERY careful with your environment in VR with this one because you will get carried away.
Becomes a bit random and tricky some way in but a great party VR game that doesn't need controllers at all, just the headset.
Good use of the headset, nice atmosphere, would be nice to be able to skip "story" bits sometimes but they're not too annoying.

Great game. The level of polish and gameplay is almost Valve like. The game is easy to pick up and play but hard to master. For me to play nearly two hours at a first sitting is a very good sign of a great game. I haven't played party mode yet but I'd imagine it would be a blast to play with friends. Highly recommended.
Two suggestions for the developer.
-The standing height seems slightly high.
-I'd like to be able to save the game for different players to keep their progress separate.

AMAZING. SOOOOO fun. amazing physics and grpahics. i absolutely LOVE the game physics. It's a real shame that i'm the first to review this awesome game. (i swear no one paid me to write this lol). This is the first time i've had SOOOO much fun in a vr game, i was smiling the whole time almost. I think because i play football so that's why i loved it so much. Anyways, i hope if the game makers read this i have two requests:
1-this is the only annoying thing i find currently in the game, the fact that i am floating in mid air. Can you fix this? and even if i shift my play area down through openvr advanced settings, when i come back to the game it takes me back up in the air again. If the game is MEANT to be played at that kind of height in the air, could you at least put a tall platform to stand on so it doesn't feel like you're floating in mid air?
2-is there a possiblity to make a game for this with this with two modes: a goalkeeper and a shooter (these can be done by attaching controllers/vive trackers to your feet, like the game "final soccer vr"). Cause the game graphics and physics are too good to not use this opportunity to make another game with it.
also, please developers, share this game in the vive/oculus subreddit so more people know about this fantastic game.

This PSVR gem came to Steam surprisingly unnoticed. It's one of the most polished sports games with realistic physics and lengthy campaign.
Precisely hitting the ball with your head is very difficult, but satisfying. The game requires some amount of practice before you can beat a campaign, but overall the challenge is just right, except 21st and 31st levels that have a sudden spike of difficulty. And there is surprising amount of variety, it's not just football: there are a lot of modifiers to the gameplay including gimmicky bowling, beer pong or basketball lessons and extremely elaborate exams. I ended up replaying certain levels just for fun after beating the campaign.
Visuals are a bit dated now but they still look fine.
P.S. The dialogues in Headmaster are quirky but not nearly as funny as Portal's, I'm not sure why people keep comparing them)
