VR Hockey Reborn is an ice hockey sports simulation made by Vladislav Prygin, who the store page says is a former hockey player. It aims to work for people who have never held a stick as well as for experienced players. The game was released on the Meta Horizon Store on June 6, 2022.
How it plays
The focus is on puck handling. The physics are meant to make carrying, deking and shooting the puck feel realistic, and there are several ways to score. You can experiment with how the puck reacts and work on your own style. The game is also aimed at hockey beginners, and you can even play it with one hand.
- Multiplayer with full control, including the option to play in goal.
- A rink setting meant to make you feel like you are on the ice.
- Realistic physics for puck possession.
- Goalie pads that animate into butterfly and RVH positions based on how you move.
- Testing by real hockey players, according to the developer.
Multiplayer
Besides solo play, VR Hockey Reborn has multiplayer where you control your player fully and can choose to be the goalie. The store data lists internet as not required, which applies to offline play; online matches need a connection.
Comfort
Meta has not rated its comfort level. You can play standing, sitting or in room-scale with controllers. Swinging a stick can take up room, so clear the area around you before a game.
