    Headmaster is so much more than what it might appear to be, and it’s one of the biggest surprises for me coming out of the PlayStation VR’s launch. It’s creative, funny, and provides a perfect example of what VR could bring to the table, while also being far more than just a VR tech demo.

    Headmaster is simple, playable, and incredibly fun. It’s easy to pick up but still provides room for more skilled players to excel and there’s enough playing time here to ensure that your money is well spent. An excellent effort overall.

    Headmaster is an easy-to-recommend, addictive and fun little game that is a worthy addition to any PSVR library.

    Headmaster brilliantly manages to make a compelling game out of the simple action of simply moving your head around. While its high difficulty and progression system make certain aspects feel like a headache, the rest is pure fun. A surprising story also gets a starring role, and this is one of the best surprises to come out of PlayStation VR’s launch line-up.

    No matter whether you’re a football fan or not, Headmaster‘s original gameplay is simple yet utterly addictive, and no minor frustrations can do much to take the shine off of it.

    Headmaster also gets bonus points for being hilarious to watch someone play. This might be my favourite PS VR game so far.

    Headmaster VR provides a fun, albeit simple, set of objectives that entertains with its dark humor and surreal lessons. The tracking controls are spot-on, making every successful header feel incredible satisfying.

    Headmaster is a fleeting but fun little virtual reality romp.

    Headmaster VR gives you a new interesting way of training in heading a football. The ball's movement and timing of the headers is quite realistic. Add some humor to the game and you have a really fun game that will keep you busy for a while.

    This is a pretty decent early psvr game and was decently fun and the tracking was great. It's an interesting use of vr.
