Disclaimer: I was provided a beta key by the developers prior to release.

HoloBall is a mix between Pong and racquetball, stylized with Tron-like art animations. The gameplay is simple: score against an AI by hitting the ball with one of your paddles. The game's difficulty ramps up as it continues and each round introduces a modifier such as speeding up the AI or increasing hit power.

Leaderboards encourage replayability and I'd love to see online multiplayer in the future. One thing to note is that you'll be swinging your controllers pretty hard. Make sure you have adequate play space and are aware of your position in your room. I'd personally like to see an outline of the play space much like Space Pirate Trainer to increase positional awareness. (Update: The developer has since added this along with other suggestions sent pre-release. Excellent turn around!) My play space is about 3.3m x 2.8m and I didn't have any issues beyond being overly cautious.

HoloBall takes a classic game into the world of VR and executes on this idea well. This is well worth the cost of admission, especially once you consider the launch sale.

One of my favorite co-op games until microtransactions were introduced, despite maintaining before launch that the game would not contain microtransactions. Extremely disappointed to see the game ruined.

"We've made it clear that PAYDAY 2 will have no micro-transactions whatsoever (shame on you if you thought otherwise!)"

UPDATE: As of Update 90 (11/12), microtransactions have had their effects increased and the developer's intent is clear. Uninstalled.

Fun tycoon-esque game with attention to minor details. Definite buy if you enjoy games of this genre.

The game has evolved over the years and is a shining example of early access done right.

Video games aren't art? Let me prove you wrong.

My first RPG and I have had so much fun with it. Workshop makes the game personal and even better.

Perfect if you own a tablet PC. Similar to the iPad app!
