Review: I’ve played a few hockey games in VR and none of them feels quite right. They are either too basic looking, of they look nice, but feel like crap to play. The good news is ‘VR Hockey League’ does look…OK and does feel good to play. You get a good amount of game modes as well, you get to choose between hardest shot, goalie shooting, accuracy challenge and a passing challenge. While there isn’t a full game of hockey here what there is feels pretty good to play and responsive from the puck to stick. I’m not too sure it is worth the full £6.99 asking price, but it is worth a few quid for sure. I put my hand on my heart when I tell you that this is probably the best hockey game I have played in VR so far. But given how crap the other games are…
