C-Smash VRS Reviews
C-Smash VRS is an interesting revival of a forgotten classic, perfectly suited for the virtual reality medium from the active nature of the gameplay to the futuristic visuals. However, it conspires to make the experience frustrating with precise controls, harsh timers, and a lack of solo play modes despite the (doomed to be mostly unused) multiplayer option having a far greater range. It's not quite 6-Love, but it's just about 6-Like.
C-Smash VRS on Meta Quest is a fantastic way to burn some calories and have fun in the process, featuring a great soundtrack.
C-Smash VRS feels like the culmination of an idea twenty-odd years in gestation, with a great multiplayer offering, only stumbling with its single player.
With the simplicity of squash and block smashing at its core, C-Smash VRS is a virtual racket sport delight. The bat and ball physics are tricky to master, but stick to the easier Zen mode, or play with a friend in multiplayer and co-op, and there's plenty of joy to be had here.
A crisply drawn futuristic racquet sport with consistent and nuanced physics that's let down by a user base too small to support online matchmaking.
C-Smash VR is engaging, exhausting and exhilarating. A VR staple that we'll be showing friends for years, it nails the aesthetics, gameplay, and most importantly, the vibe of everything that's great about VR.
C-Smash VRS is an absolute must-buy game for anyone armed with a PS5 and PSVR2. It's a brilliant execution of a game that balances fun and challenge while taking full advantage of what makes VR special, and it absolutely shines brightest when playing one of its four VRS modes, even if for now it feels light on content.
C-Smash VRS is a brilliantly restorative VR experience. With finely tuned motion controls, sparklingly simple visuals, and a chilled-out electronic score, it's yet another fine addition to Sony's roster of VR titles. We can even see it becoming a go-to with friends who just want to game and have a catch up. Yet while the core experience is fun enough, its lack of content and currently empty matchmaking experience leaves it feeling like an unfulfilled promise - especially if you're playing solo. We'd love to see an improvement to matchmaking and servers, but until then, C-Smash VRS will leave more of an impact on our battered walls than it will our memories.
C-Smash VRS is an incredible multiplayer with the potential to become a staple of any PSVR 2 owner’s collection. The simple premise and excellent execution leads to intense matches that will keep you hooked. Whether you’re up against a friend or a complete stranger, the thrill never subsides. With a focus on multiplayer, the game needs to add more incentives and regular updates to build a community. However. the addictive online loop and replayable single-player options help to make C-Smash VRS an absolute hit!
C-Smash VRS is a game that you will keep coming back to. You can play a level in singleplayer, engage in online matches against someone, and still have fun. However, it could have been a bit better. There should have been more singleplayer content. There should have been ranked play in multiplayer. There should have been more details that would enhance the content, experience, or convenience.

C-SMASH VRS is a simple tennis-like game that would be way better if there was no lag and single player content with AI opponents.
The right game at the wrong time? The exclusive that would have been better off not being exclusive? These questions haunted me since I launched my digital copy of C-Smash VRS, a fun virtual version of a Dreamcast classic that might have benefited from a cooler climate and a larger PSVR2 player base to fully express its potential. Aside from these personal considerations, the production by Wolf & Wood is at times addictive, thanks to its simple but well-structured gameplay. A not-so-deep single-player mode, but with good replayability, is accompanied by an online component capable of unleashing the full potential of the title, but currently hampered by a lack of available opponents. PSVR2 owners, spend these 26.99 Euros: the future of squash awaits you!

C-Smash VRS is a game that I never knew I needed until I played it. It's an incredibly addictive game that provides players with a good workout without even realizing it. The multiplayer component is an absolute blast, and the single-player content is equally as good. Add all this to the fact that it has a fantastic soundtrack and superb art style, making this one of the best PSVR 2 games currently available. Don't pass up on this one.
From its banging soundtrack to its pixel-perfect paddling, C-Smash VRS is one of Meta Quest 3's most enjoyable titles, even a year on from its PSVR 2 launch. One more game, yeah?
I didn't like C-Smash VRS as much as I was hoping I would. The presentation sure is great, but that alone cannot save this experience for me as the core gameplay loop left me unsatisfied most of the time.
"C-Smash VRS" is one of the most original sports games for VR. The minimalist look may not be to everyone's liking, but it fits perfectly with the game's electro soundtrack. "C-Smash VRS" creates a remarkable flow and also offers enough variety with its game modes. The ball physics of the virtual squash game are quite treacherous from time to time - if you want to show full physical effort, you should have a sufficiently large playing surface. If we can only hope that a loyal community develops on the Quest and Pico platforms, then "C-Smash VRS" could even establish itself as an e-sportin the medium term.

C-Smash VRS deserves to sit with pride among the essential VR titles. Especially if you have room to move.
It plays really well, you almost feel that bat in your hand as the ball does what you want it to, and the intensity of the competition is as real as any squash court.
