Date Night Bowling

Date Night Bowling

The arcade bowling is solid - I can consistently get strikes, but curving/spin isn’t particularly intuitive. Unfortunately, each character has a single phrase you have to confirm through every single time they come up to bowl. You have to play as everyone in single player before they’re available in vs. mode (whether AI or human). The minigames are fun and themed to the bowling alley. Achievements, at least at launch, appear to be not be functioning. If you’re looking for some casual arcade-style bowling, you’ll find it here - everything else feels a little thin.

Pure Bowl VR Bowling

Pure Bowl VR Bowling

I’ve been playing Pure Bowl VR on an Oculus Quest through Virtual Desktop and it works great.

I’ve never been great at bowling in real life, and I’m not very good in Pure Bowl VR either so that’s solid commendation for the game’s accurate bowling physics! Thankfully it offers a bunch of super detailed settings to alter lane setup, assists, and difficulty, so I can set up a game exactly how I want.

The recent update which adds a tournament mode (basically a knockout against progressively more difficult AI opponents) gives a bit more flavour to each game, and the new lane looks fantastic.

Played on Oculus Quest 2 via Virtual Desktop and SteamVR - Works perfectly!

Really quite an interesting concept, controls are good for the most part, took a little getting used to but after a few settings tweaks its borderline perfect. Early access obviously so its sort of barebones but I’m sure more content will be added. Will absolutely be playing more in the near future!

Fastlane Bowling

Fastlane Bowling

Was a huge fan of this game as a kid, as it was called Strike Force Bowling on the console platforms. So I decided to give it a shot for the low price and nostalgia.

Overall the game functions and runs well, even on newer hardware. Though I will not recommend this compared to the other releases that can be found on consoles. Stages are missing. The Wild West stage is one that doesn’t make it here. Also, all characters are unlocked from the start, so nothing really to work for in that regard. The biggest negative here is the missing textures. Many textures just didn’t seem to exist. No little marks for the accuracy and power bars while bowling, and even some of the menu boxes just didn’t exist. Was buying this for nostalgia and simply just became disappointed. If this game somehow figures out the texture issue, this would instantly be a better game, but in the state it is in at this time, it just doesn’t seem worth it. even at the low price point it’s currently at.

HyperBowl

HyperBowl

My first encounter with Hyperbowl was from the Windows XP, with Plus! version, the first time I played the game, I was shocked at how much fun and challenge a simple bowling game could provide! So naturally, I invested my hard earned cash (I was still working for minimum wage at the time), I boy I did not regret it one bit! I invested my monies into a X-Arcade Tankstick with a Trackball in the center, it was a no brainer for me, everyone love playing this game….and then thats when purge happened, this game originally developed by Sony and eventually Hyper Entertainment for Microsoft, would just VANISH and us that still have our original key codes were left with a rather LARGE hole to fill. I sought out the game feverishly, like many other who have played the home and arcade version (my Dave and Busters had it, I was so VERY luck). Several dark years went by where this game was though to be extinct, then literally out of nowhere, this game came back, yes in somewhat different form, but it was the game! I immediately put it back into my collection and Steam, I NEVER want this game to go away again!

This game was so much fun when I was a kid. It really brings me back. There are a few things that I wanna point out that I wish could be added back/changed.

First I wanna talk about the UI.

1. I believe the original Hyperbowl used a different font for the timer, name, first and second ball.

2. I remember a slideshow (if you wanna call it that) on the right side that would cycle between all the possible maps, and a couple of pictures of an arcade.

3. I remember the pause menu being a blue bowling ball.

PePiBo: Peregrino Pinata Bowling

I played it on my Oculus Quest.

Fun little game. Complete play through for myself was 1 hour.

Had quite some fun playing and I am pretty sure I will play again to see if I can do a better score in some levels. I will most likely also let some family and friends have a go at it as well.

I did not encounter anything really breaking the game, it looked pretty clean. I did like the different bowling “balls'” abilities.

Funniest was when a huge boulder did run into my play area and I was boxing it back into the enemies instead of using the regular “balls”.

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/z4UMIkerp_o

This is basically an Angry Birds clone for VR, with bowling pigs. It’s a very beautiful game, with a very pleasing art style and nice level designs that introduces new mechanics as you go along. Unfortunately, I experienced some frustrating issues with the gameplay so consider this only a neutral recommendation.

The issue I experienced was with some of the inconsistent physics and certain elements not working as they were supposed to in order to progress past the level. In particular, there was this one level where I had to basically just get very lucky to get past it. Pins would not fall, even when exploding balls exploded nearby or they went behind / clipped through objects. You can check out my video to get more in-depth with the issues in that level.

All-In-One Sports VR

All-In-One Sports VR

This VR sports game has a nice assortment of 10 sports games for the price of 1. When I first started the game, it had a nice fun game assortment of options to chose from. I’ve played each sports game with various different opinions on each one.

1.Archery: This sport is nice and relaxing just requires you to aim towards the target. Like that’s they’re other factors that could cause you to be less accurate on shots. Requires more skill to actually aim towards the target.

2.Billard: This is a fun and relaxing game. I like that there’s an indication to telling if you going to hit one of the balls or the direction of where the ball could land. All in all good, but make it so when you’re viewing your opponent’s turn you can move easier around the table.

Ok so. i have almost all of the standalone appnori games. They were always pretty good but this is probably the one you want to get now that it has a ridiculous amount more content.

Only downsides is the artstyle here is more Chibi so some events everything is super sized.

I think there’s a lot of content if you’re into only scoreboard or just beating the AI. Haven’t tried multiplayer.

In general all of the sports “work” there’s no control issues. Controls are really polished it’s just on the arcade side. So some sports like golf there are way better more realistic golf games out there.
