Teamfight Manager
Before the review, just going to point out the conclusion first.
Ignore the ignorant reviews. Bans, Picks, Player traits, stats and mastery. YES THEY ALL MATTER!! Keep playing the game and STOP trying to RUSH for results and you’ll be enjoying the game a lot more. As you keep playing, you’ll notice EVERYTHING in the game matters and you will end up winning. (The game has gotten too easy for me now)
I saw many negative reviews with different opinions on why it’s bad (stats doesn’t matter, its scripted, I keep losing, player development is useless etc.) I really thought the same. You’ll experience each of the different complaints you see as a review.

This is, by far, one of my favourite games ever.
I have never played a simulation game that has captivated me in such a manner as Teamfight Manager has. The essence of eSports is captured in such a fun and exciting way that I find myself unable to put the game down. The underlying systems that this small team of Korean developers have created allow for a dynamic, unique and unparalleled experience.
I currently have palythroughs going for both on and off stream, and despite the fact I’m very early on in one playthrough and have been the world champion in the other, both files are still fun to play. Champions being introduced such as the Shield Bearer really disrupt the meta, and the way that teams utilize said champions dictates who gets nerfed and how.

Pro Strategy Football 2022
I came into this series last year with Pro Strategy Football 2021. A game which, for an old time gamer sparked a lot of nostalgia in the way it was presented. There were things missing like game keeping records for head to head etc I fixed that little itch with a spreadsheet and small things like not being able to navigate to a players career stats from any screen. Still the game was a little gem.
Those things have been addressed with this addition along with numerous other improvements and continued optimizations as the game feels tighter and slicker when loading if that makes sense.

A tremendous effort by a lone indie developer with a day job. This game was created with love and passion for the game. Know what you are buying first, because it won’t be for everybody. Please read the description and feel free to ask things in the game forum first if you wish. The developer (Kerry) is very honest, open, and transparent - and very consumer friendly and a great guy! (plus it is a really terrific community too).
The game’s strength is the on-field gameplay - and in that department, it is unheralded, producing an accurate, realistic simulation of the game. You will not be controlling the players with a gamepad - it is focused on coaching, or if chosen, spectating games. In the coaching department there are thousands of plays that can be designed on the fly. This year many new formations (both classic and modern) were added and entire leagues (or individual teams) can be tailored to utilise them in ways that create their own characteristics or flavor (and there are mods done by really talented mod authors covering almost the entire NFL, USFL, and various other leagues too –- including fantasy leagues and teams).

Pro Strategy Football 2021
Another excellent release for this series, and this latest one is a HUGE upgrade over last year’s version. The ability to customize - already a major feature and differentiator between this game and others like it - has been greatly expanded so that pretty much leagues of any size (up to 130 teams) can be used in Single Season play, and leagues up to 32 teams (and as few as 8) can be used in Career mode. A quasi-Free Agency feature has been added as well, that is optional to use. In addition, career stats are tracked, and stat files in text format can be exported from any season or career in progress. A player encyclopedia is included that tracks all players in a career over an almost infinite number of seasons. I have simmed through as many as 25 and the results remain believable and consistent.

TLDR: At bottom.
I love this game. Right off the bat I want to make it clear that this is more of a coach / match simulator than a management sim, as I think that is important to note before entering the game, incase you are expecting something different than what it is.
I would love to see more management mechanics introduced, such as mid season trading, roster changes etc, and I believe there are discussion threads saying new things will be looked at for the next version of the game. For what the game is though, its a very enjoyable sim, with realistic match outcomes. I currently play a sim only league with the NFL and Draft mods. So I haven’t even touched the real meat and potatoes of the game with the ingame play calling

Swords of Gurrah
Alright so there’s a popular review here that’s got like 100 people marking it as helpful, that review was posted around 5 months ago and the game has changed a lot since then, I’m just going to go point by point on their list of issues with the game to show how it’s changed since then.
Issue 1:
“The worse connection someone has, the less frames they have while fighting. This results in some people feeling unfair to go against given their moves are incredibly hard to read for being as laggy as they are.”

TL;DR Best multi[player melee combat for VR yet. Real combat techniques produce real results.
I’m an armored combat fighter and weapons instructor for multiple historical and athletic groups, so I love me some hand to hand combat. I want to fight more often than I have meetings or events, so I like to dig around in VR for good fighting games. So far the only game that got close to scratching that itch in VR was Blade & Sorcery, which while fantastic is single player. This game handles completely differently from B&S but brings the most fun multiplayer that I’ve seen yet.
