Review: While most people seem to love ‘Little Witch Academia: VR Broom Racing’ I am not so sure about its overall quality. Sure, it’s a fun game to play and you do get a good sense of speed when zooming along on your broom, but it lacks shine and indeed effort especially for a game that costs a whopping £22.99. The graphics are just too sparse for their own good with no big set-pieces to help orientate yourself making the flying seem a little lame at times when you are not concentrating on the gameplay and the controls themselves could be with some work as it does take a long while to get used to it. Overall I did enjoy the game, but I wish it was half its current price or even a little bit less than that.
