Is Headmaster worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR puzzle fans who want a head-movement-based campaign
- Groups of up to 6 who want local pass-and-play
- Football-themed game fans who want a short, level-based experience
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long campaign may find the stated 5–7 hour story brief.
- Players looking for a broad competitive sports simulation may find its focus on physics puzzles and comic challenges too narrow.
- Players without VR equipment, since the game is presented as a VR-only experience
Our take on Headmaster
The page foregrounds the absurd ball challenges and campaign length, but the campaign is still presented as a 5–7 hour experience. The party option is local pass-and-play rather than a description of online multiplayer, and the PC-specific additions are identified separately from the core feature list.
