Nov 14, 2020I don't think Handball 21 is good. Handball games is hard to make but Handball 21 has confusing gameplay that makes it not worth playing.

May 27, 2021Handball 21 is a poor imitation of the real-life counterpart it tries to emulate. With janky, inconsistent mechanics, comical goalkeeping AI, lifeless presentation and shallow gameplay, there’s little to recommend to anyone other than the most hardcore of handball fans. The greatest compliment I can give it is that while the game itself made me question my existence, I did at least watch a couple of actual matches of handball, which were far more enthralling than the virtual version. Stick with the real-life sport on this one.

Nov 18, 2020What Handball 21 does well is represent the top of the European table of the sport. Unfortunately, the gameplay and animation can't hold up to the challenge. As a newcomer, I struggled to get to grips with what is a very tactical sport. I find space hard to manufacture and, whilst defensive duties are better handled, the goalkeepers provide a real lottery. I can't complain much about the modes on offer but the clumsy gameplay dampened my enthusiasm. Some training modes could've helped but I found this game tough to penetrate.

Nov 12, 2020Handball is a difficult sport to make into a video game, with its physicality and defensive lines tricky to convey onto a controller and into a game engine. For Handball 21, the resulting game is a mess of questionable controls, awkward animations, and glaringly bad goalkeeping.
