Space Grid Tournament
Take part in Space Grid Tournament, the most spectacular sport of the future, where giant robots fight to take control of the field and crush the opponent down. It’s all about the tactics: deploy your metallic players (yes, every one of them with the giant chainsaw and the shield!), destroy enemy turrets and mines to open the way forward, advance on the battlefield, and capture the bases of other players. The announcer will comment on your every step while the professional setting of the match will make every game even more exciting!
Space Grid Tournament is the new generation of RTS games, where careful and fast team management leads the way to victory. No resource farming, no boring base building – it’s just you and your robotic players. In this brutal sport discipline, every unit and every order may make the difference between defeating the opponent and being wiped out from the field.
Space Grid Tournament offers both exciting single-player, deathmatch tournament and local multiplayer mode, where you can test your tactics against other players. And if it’s still not enough, the game will let you build your own maps and share them with other people via Steam Workshop!

-
Brutal, futuristic sport you’ve never seen before

DodgeBall VR
Lots of bugs. Ball is hard to throw, since it seems to stick in place sometimes when you throw/release grip. Uses plenty of apparently stock assets and music. I’d be more interested in this game if it had multiplayer and if it were more developed. Concept is cool, but the game needs more work.

Purple Saturn Day
Welcome athletes! Upon this great day of joy, celebration, and meaning, this glorious Day of Purple Dawning, the launching of a new year on Saturn, the Supreme Gem of the Sky, we native Saturnians bid to you alien athletes who desire to participate in and of course perhaps win the events created to honor our great Being Exxos for giving us this new day, new year, new victor—welcome!
In this psychedelic sci-fi Olympiad, athletes from planets across the galaxy gather to compete in the Purple Saturn Day games. Four interplanetary events await:
-
The Ring Pursuit: race a frenzied flight around the splendid rings of Saturn, meteors threatening at every turn. Scoring is based not just on speed, but in navigating the course’s turns more accurately than your opponents.
-
The Tronic Slider: when the energy ball bursts, competitors pilot sliders speeding and rebounding off of obstacles and each other in a rush to capture the most energy fragments.
-
The Brain Bowler: solve a fast-moving electronic puzzle of resistors, gates, and electronic channels as you and your competitor seek to control each other’s minds.
-
The Time Jump: Pilot a ship into the future by capturing energy sparks to fuel your gravity-catapult and explode through time. The more sparks you captured, the further you plunge through mind-altering visions of space-time contraction.
Master these challenges for the chance to be graced by the queen of Saturn herself – a prize highly valued by all life forms for its universally euphorious sensation.

Age of Gladiators II: Death League
So I’m about three hours in now, and actually having a lot of fun. Its not as deep as I hoped, but still a really solid squad manager for a detail orient statistic loving player.
As for gameplay, it took me a few tries to get a decent start going, but on the fifth try I got it right. I am now “Rotwound,” a rather arachnoid ex-fighter. Gonna say, not too fond of the gladiator stylization, but whatever, pushing on. Rotwound opened the game by hiring a vorcinne (the hairless spider dude, ‘cause there’s also a spider yeti, yeeeah) scout who can hire other spider dudes at the beginning. The scout found a couple ok fighters, but most importantly Slowsin (the spiderdudes have rather menacing portmanteaus as names) who is an excellent melee fighter with loads of damage and accuracy, but not much hp. Slowsin is given an axe and medium armor and an adrenal booster, and sent out to fight. This he does with great joy and abandon. Fairly quickly “Slowsin” racks up ten kills, and is renamed “Executioner,” for reasons “Rules and Guidelines” does not let me make a joke about. Executioner has now led Rotwound’s gladiator asteroid team of spider dudes to 14-0 victories and speicializations in axes, medium armor, and adrenal boosters. The old spiderdude scout found another few badass spiderdudes, and then went to recruit what are apparently constipated trolls. He found a very scary constipated troll, who is now training to be more scary. This brings the story of Rotwound and Executioner to day 90, at which point they have not lost a gladiator, fight, or limb, because apparently Rotwound can live up to his name ‘casue amputations are a thing. I think. There’s something about cybernetics later on. Gonna keep updating this as I play for while.

TL:DR - If you enjoyed the first game, you can’t go wrong with this sequel as long you’re OK with the Sci-Fi setting instead of the Rome setting. (Though the Rome setting is coming soon per the Devs)
If you like a detailed opinion of the game, read on! :)
Well,
I’m not much for writing reviews on the steam website, but felt perhaps this one was a good time for that cause I’ve been enjoying the dedication the Devs have given to this game post release so far. Overall if you played the first game, called Age of Gladiators, then you will encounter features very similar to that with this one.

Laser League: World Arena
I’ve already spent many hours in this game. Given the current size of the community (some say the community is dead), I honestly struggled a bit to get to just under 75 hours of gameplay. I’m trying my best to will my way to prestiging in the game versus pretty much all AI. It’s a slog.
When the community was bustling during beta and the early days of early access, I was extremely happy. This game is so frantic and fun, I honestly enjoy it more than other arcade-y sports games like Rocket League. Where with Rocket League I feel like I’m always fighting with my controller, Laser League has very natural movement that make me feel in complete control. When I die in Laser League, it’s usually due to a stupid mistake or an outstanding play by the other team. In Rocket League, I feel like I miss shots because, well, it’s not exactly easy to control a flying car and hit a ball perfectly (though I still do love Rocket League!).

A quick note that I wrote this review several months ago, before the news that the game would be handed over to CE-Asia, and made free to play, and the game was pulled from purchasing from the Steam store.
Onto the review:
A wonderful game on it’s own, and I’d give it 5* if I could. It’s designed well, there’s plenty of content in the game, the visual and sound design is great, and it doesn’t get too repetitive, but there’s a glaring issue with the game at the moment: The lack of players.

PingBall VR
Entertaining & addictive. Good to decompress except when you get all aggravated because you missed a shot…or lose… 😊
Overall, very fun to play and curious to see what the updates will bring (should I dare to ask for more levels…😊)
Not being a gamer per say, I like simple, easy and fun. This game fit the bill perfectly.
+Love the “ghost” powerup (best VR moments).
+Can play with 2 racquets!
+Nice music/sound effects and environment
+VR unit cable never in your way/feet, unlike other games where you have to move/turn around!
– Real player with 75.2 hrs in game
I really enjoy playing Pingball, it’s a great little VR game.
Easy to and intuitive to play, nice graphics, no major bugs.
If only more VR game were of this quality. Good job.
Only little enhancement I would love to see is a way to finish the level faster when you are as bad as a sniper as I am :(

Racket: Nx
This game is absolutely awesome if I may say so! This is like a true sport in VR, and with esport features coming I hope there will be plenty of players, and an active and competitive community. Not all want to play competitively of course, and the game is really fun, I’d say most people who enjoy racket sports to some degree will enjoy this, or if you played other similar games.
The physics are incredible, you have extreme control over the ball. You can swirve the ball and apply spin like in real life, so it feel very realistic and convincing. This is a really great concept and so far it’s really well executed.
– Real player with 122.2 hrs in game
There’s a lot to like about Racket:NX. The graphics are outstanding, the mechanics and physics of hitting the ball are superior to other games I’ve played. It’s a lot of fun and gets the blood pumping.
Unfortunately there are more things that I disliked about the game than things I did. For starters, there’s almost nothing that tells you what you need to do to play. I know, I know. Hit ball with racket, right? Except there are the times and how fast you hit the ball determines a lot of things. The learning curve is steep, and it took playing through a few times to understand what I was even supposed to be doing.

Shufflepuck Cantina Deluxe
I’ve been told air hockey isn’t a sport. But despite that I found this game to be charming and easy to play. Basically you go around playing different people games to get parts to replace your ship that has crashed on some planet and you need to build a new one to get home. For a game as simple as air hockey the graphics are really nicely done. And the cast of players different with their own play styles and charm. You have to unlock parts of your opponents biography to progress through the game. As you go up to nicer floors the competition also gets tougher to beat.
– Real player with 85.4 hrs in game
Sufflepuck Cantina is a cute little casual game about air hockey simulation, ideal for playing in small doses. What it does it does perfectly with a smooth mouse response and clear and intuitive controls.
Long story short, you play as an astronaut stranded in a distant planet inhabited by a bunch of freaks obsessed with air hockey. In order to get them help you to fix your broken spaceship you need to make youself a name as an air jockey player and beat (a looot of times) the 13 opponents. You start with a basic mallet and puck and the 3 beginner opponents, and you must grind your way up to the rest of them, their special mallets and pucks and some other unblockables, such as concept art, pieces of background for the diffferent characters, etc. Each enemy has their own mallet and puck and a special move, but the concept of the game is always the same.

SOL Cycling
This Game is so much fun, you will find yourself going long and stronger that you thought with the immersive game play. You will completely forget that you are exercising.
The Dev team on this game is motivated and are doing some great things.

This is the pre-release version but is very usable. Ive only played solo but it is fun whether you are riding hard or not.

Pacer
An Extremely Solid AG Racer
Very worth the wait
Summary:
While the title leaves me scratching my head, nearly everything else about Formula Fusion’s re-incarnation as Pacer has left me very impressed. With an aesthetic somewhere between the PS1 and PS3 era Wipeout games and dripping with detail, the environments here are a sight to behold. The physics model is more traditional to the genre than, say, Redout - leaning more towards the later Wipout games with just a touch of later F-Zero as well. Put another way, the racing model is approachable, intuitive, and smooth - a far cry from the formerly awkward, stilted iterations past. The craft are fun to pilot and have lots of room for customizing to suit your personal style.
– Real player with 63.7 hrs in game
tl;dr:
-
Fantastic visuals
-
Physics which scratch that Wipeout itch
-
Good performance; great performance after the first patch
-
Good multiplayer when you can find it
-
Confusing UI
-
OK music
-
If you can’t progress in the campaign, use the garage!
-
There are multiple weapons & items. Again, use the garage.
-
If you suddenly notice your shield/health steadily dropping for “no reason”, it’s probably not a bug; you’re probably in an endurance event
-
If your position jumps suddenly at the end of a lap, having been static the whole way round, that is probably also not a bug; you’re in a “speed lap” event
