Review By Jon Donnis
Soccer VR on MetaQuest is a game that proves you don't need a huge budget to deliver a fun and immersive experience. For just £1.99, it offers a surprisingly enjoyable slice of virtual football, complete with full matches, practice modes, and an inventive controller setup that makes you feel like you're really on the pitch.
The game lets you choose between classic button controls or mounting the controller on your foot for a more realistic experience. Strapping the controller to your leg might sound like a gimmick, but it genuinely adds to the immersion. Swinging your leg to take a shot or curl in a free kick feels satisfying, especially after a few adjustments with the in-game shoe-tuning option. If you prefer a more relaxed approach, using your hands works just fine too, giving you the flexibility to play however you like.
There is plenty to do, with full matches offering three difficulty levels and various formations to experiment with. The practice modes are a great addition, letting you hone specific skills like penalties, free kicks, curved shots, and cross finishes. You can even test yourself against goalkeepers with five levels of difficulty or try your luck with target-based challenges. The crowd sound effects add a nice layer of atmosphere, making the matches feel a little more alive.
Visually, Soccer VR shows its budget limitations. The graphics are basic, and the pitch can feel a bit lifeless compared to higher-end games. But the charm of the gameplay makes up for the visual shortcomings. It's best played in short bursts, especially if you're using the leg-mounted setup, and make sure you have enough space around you to avoid accidentally kicking your furniture or a nearby pet.
For the price, Soccer VR is a surprisingly solid experience. It may not be the most polished game out there, but it captures the fun and excitement of football in a way that keeps you coming back for more. Whether you're looking for a quick match or want to practice your virtual free kicks, this game delivers a lot of enjoyment for just a couple of quid. If you're a football fan with a MetaQuest, Soccer VR is well worth a shot. I score the game 8 out of 10.
