❤ Batting Realism and Immersion

Players consistently praise the satisfying batting experience, highlighting the realistic ball physics and responsive bat swing mechanics. Reviewers note that the game successfully captures the feeling of standing at the crease and facing a diverse array of bowlers, from fast and furious to slow and tricky. Many describe the experience as truly immersive, with one player stating they "feel like they're really there" when wearing the VR headset.

❤ Challenging Yet Rewarding Gameplay

While the batting realism is a major draw, reviewers acknowledge the game's challenging nature, particularly against the more difficult bowling speeds and styles. Players must time their shots precisely and utilize proper cricketing techniques to find success. One reviewer notes that the steep learning curve is ultimately rewarding, stating, "When I get out, I know it's because of a mistake I made, rather than janky game mechanics." Several experienced cricketers express satisfaction in gradually improving their performance and mastering the game's nuances.

❤ Variety of Bowling and Conditions

Reviewers highlight the diversity of bowling types they encounter, from fast deliveries to tricky spinners, which adds to the challenge and replayability. The inclusion of different cricket grounds, ranging from club-level to Test match venues, is also praised for providing a sense of atmosphere and variety in the gameplay experience.

❤ Responsive Controls and Bat Feedback

Players consistently remark on the responsiveness of the bat controls, with one reviewer describing the "satisfying feeling of connecting with the ball." The ability to physically swing the bat, even with simple controller-to-bat setups, is seen as a key element in making the batting feel authentic and rewarding.

❤ Areas for Improvement

While the overall gameplay experience is highly praised, some reviewers note areas that could use refinement, such as occasional tracking or registration issues with the bat, unrealistic fielder catches, and a desire for more game modes and customization options. However, these minor criticisms do not detract from the core strength of the game's immersive and engaging cricket simulation.
