Early Access Review
About 15 hours in, my thoughts.

Things I like:
  • Controller support and couch co-op are nice and easy to use.
    Pretty good variety of abilities and characters.
  • Gameplay is solid, encountered no bugs or glitches so far.
  • Enemy teams each feel unique and interesting.

    Things I don't like:

  • Even after the update the amount of rubber you get still feels too low. I'd say add maybe 25% more, especially if they add more unlockables in the future.
  • Some abilities don't feel impactful, time slow in particular, I thought it would slow the enemy team to give advantage but it slows everything including the user and the puck so I don't know what you gain from it.
  • Some of the achievements are very grindy.

    Things I'd like to see:

  • I'd love to see the ability to customize team color, name and emblem.
  • I'd also love for huge checks to be added, as a player I found myself always trying for a huge crunching check, but never got it. Maybe if your checking is 100+ and you make contact at speed have it break glass or knock them down for 25% longer with a big crunch or something. But that was big thing for me at least, the checking was not as satisfying as it could be. (The knights are my favorite fight simply because it's so satisfying clocking the prince)
  • On that topic fights would be cool.
  • Breaking glass in general should happen more often, I only once saw the glass break from a slapshot in my whole 15 hours.
  • Some variety in the matches themselves, commercial breaks, crowd cams, bench cams, reactions, locker room, etc.
    Maybe a commenter
  • The ability to customize your teammates look.


    All in all it's a good game. It's nice to finally see a decent hockey game on steam. I almost regret playing early access so much even though I had fun with it because I think with some more work it'll really be a blast. :steamthumbsup:
