Sport Mode

Sport Mode is a VR sandbox game praised for its engaging physics-based gameplay and creative freedom. Players enjoy the ability to experiment with various weapons, welding mechanics, and physics tools like thrusters and balloons, allowing for unique contraptions and satisfying combat. The game offers enjoyable gunplay, time manipulation mechanics, and a wave-based arena mode, though the latter is less favored. It is considered a budget-friendly alternative to titles like Boneworks and Bone Lab, appealing especially to sandbox and physics enthusiasts.

However, the game is still in early access and shows signs of being underdeveloped with limited content, few maps, and a lack of multiplayer or workshop support. Players frequently mention the need for more updates, additional weapons, maps, and customization options. Some also report bugs, clunky melee mechanics, and occasional performance issues. The developer’s slow update schedule and minimal communication have caused concerns about the game's future. Overall, it’s a promising but incomplete experience that thrives on player creativity.

Highlights

Players highly praise Sport Mode’s physics interactions, gunplay, and sandbox mechanics, highlighting the satisfying weapon handling and creative possibilities with welding, thrusters, and time-stop features. The game’s immersive VR experience and haptic feedback receive positive remarks. The sandbox mode, allowing players to build contraptions like rocket-powered vehicles, is a major draw. Graphics are considered decent and functional, with smooth performance on mid-range PCs and Quest 2. The game’s price point is seen as reasonable given the content and quality. Fans appreciate the unique blend of Boneworks-style physics with Garry's Mod-like sandbox freedom.

Criticisms

Common criticisms include the lack of content and variety, with only a few maps, enemies, and weapons available. The absence of multiplayer and workshop support limits replayability and community engagement. Players find some mechanics, especially melee combat and weapon reloading, clunky or unintuitive. Bugs and jittering camera issues are reported, particularly on the Steam version. The point system for unlocking weapons frustrates some users, as it restricts sandbox freedom. Update frequency is slow, and the developer’s limited communication raises doubts about future improvements. Some find the game repetitive and boring after a few hours without new content.
