Review: You might have guessed this already, but this game is essentially Quidditch VR only done on a shoestring budget in someone’s bedroom. Despite the lack of options, this game has as well as an almost total lack of polish this game is still oddly fun to play. The good news is the game is free and you will be thankful for that because there really isn’t a whole lot to it. The flying is super nauseating, the enemies are almost lifeless and the throwing mechanism is appalling. But those of us with dreams of becoming Happy Potter will still love it. For a freebie, this is worth a look, but don’t expect much at all other than the odd smile or two.
