Description: Piñata Attack is a party experience where the headset wearer attempts to defeat the Piñata in as short a time as possible. Whats the catch? The rest of the party gets to control the Piñata on the main monitor! Oh, and the Piñata fighter is blindfolded in VR.
Review: ‘Piñata Attack’ is one of those games you know will be crap before you even start to play it, but play it anyway because it looks so crap it might be good and to be fair…it is! It might look like a super simple Piñata whacking game, but in reality, it is a party game of sorts. One person (using the PC mouse) controls the fishing line with the Piñata stuck on the end of it and the person in VR has to whack it. If you can play with friends or family it can be a good laugh even for the little ones. Most of the environments look bright and colourful and there really isn’t anything to learn here other than whacking sweet-filled animals. In the right situation, this game is well worth its small asking price, but single players will struggle to get any real value from it.
