Badminton Time (2024)

Badminton Time! VR struggles to capture the addictive rhythm of the sport, with flawed mechanics undermining the experience from the ground up.

Overall, Badminton Time! is a nice entry into the VR sports genre. While it stumbles slightly when it comes to fluid movement and realistic racket control, it more than makes up for it with charm, variety, and a clear passion for multiplayer fun. It's a game that's best enjoyed with friends, especially in arcade or mini-game modes, where the focus shifts from technical precision to shared laughter and unpredictable antics. If you are playing solo, you can still have a good time, thanks to the wealth of content and practice options, but those looking for a more immersive, simulation-level experience may find themselves grappling with the game's control limitations. Still, if you're in the market for a social VR experience that combines physical activity, arcade fun, and goofy charm, Badminton Time! is a smashing good time.
