    I had high hopes for Holoball. After all, a VR pong game seems like a good idea. I knew that whether this concept worked or not would come down to execution and unfortunately this on PSVR is just too rough to recommend.

    The first issue I encountered was that the game requires a large game area for a PSVR game and frankly I felt that my VR room and setup were being stretched to their limits. Some shot fails were directly attributable to this.
    Whilst the problem above could be resolved with a larger room setup, there is simply no way of avoiding the bugs. I had to restart the game several times due to it getting stuck into a buggy pattern, such as the CPU no longer responding mid game.
    As can be expected of VR Pong the gameplay is repetitive, however Holoball would still be worth a purchase if the physics of hitting a VR ball with a VR bat were actually spot on. Unfortunately I found them to be lacking. I'd repeatedly aimed in one direction only for the ball to go in another. There seemed to be a lack of accuracy that was the real let down here.
    Overall I played this for just over an hour and have never felt the need to go back to it. If the developers refine it a bit Holoball on PSVR could be worth a purchase, but in its current form it is better avoided.    … Expand

    As purely motion control games with a lot of movement go, HoloBall is one of the best out there. It is a small and focused title that offers fluid and fun gameplay while maintaining the retro feel of classic arcade high score addictiveness. If you have the room and don’t mind being on your feet then HoloBall is a brilliantly bite sized package with an impressive sense of scale.
