Even if you're a fan of this series like I am, this game is a hard pass. Its only passing grace is the solid connection to a beloved franchise, but still only delivers on the absolute bare-minimum as an interactive experience. The most basic and lazy of 3D environments, lighting, game design, freedom, control options, etcetera. To top it off, it's padded to hell, especially if you go for the achievements, which are an insane grind. By the time you've finally worked out the typical, clunky VR controls, you will have more than seen enough- the story and ending aren't worth sticking the landing, either. Thank god they at least retained all the original Japanese voice actresses.

Little Witch Academia VR Broom Racing delivers exactly what you'd expect - broom racing in the charming world of the series. Fully dubbed in english, returning to this lovable cast of characters sounded so endearing I bought an entire PSVR just to play it. While I'm sure I will play better VR games, I personally found this to be an endearing experience as some of my favorite characters stood what felt like feet away from me during the story then teamed up with me for some intense and speedy races flying through the sky. After the initial joy rubs off the game does tend to get a bit repetitive, but I do like that you don't need to win the races to progress the story so long as you play the course at least one time. If you have access to a VR system and are a fan of the series I'm certain this game will charm you in the same way it did me.
