That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with games that are best enjoyed in short bursts. The redundant arenas, lack of strategic depth, and the sometimes very drawn-out matches going well into overtime started to drag on the experience immensely and I couldn’t shake the feeling that the game just had nothing left to show me after about an hour or so of playing it. Then, as quickly and mysteriously as the fun arrived, it was almost entirely gone. I was getting better at the game, managing my speed and momentum, taking shots at the other team when necessary, and evading them when they tried to do the same to me. Sometimes I would even mix things up and start going the opposite way of my team to play a little defense by griefing the other team with head-on tackles.
Slip-streaming past each other, keeping the ball moving forward way ahead of our opponents, banking laps, and scoring big points. "The redundant arenas, lack of strategic depth, and the sometimes very drawn-out matches going well into overtime started to drag on the experience immensely and I couldn’t shake the feeling that the game just had nothing left to show me after about an hour or so of playing it." I got a rush of competitive energy, gripped my DualSense controller a little harder, and started playing more aggressively. Then after my opponent’s team scored, it clicked. Well past the introduction, tutorial and even into the first match, I found myself mostly just wondering what exactly is there about this game that gives it a reason to exist. It’s true that this new competitive roller-derby-basketball hybrid doesn’t make the most unique first impression.
