So if you've played Walkabout, you're going to feel a little deja vous. The graphics and the music are carbon copied, you're on home ground if you don't mind swapping out the golf club for a game of throw the ball closest to the jack. It's a basic premise that seems to work, there's numerous options to change the throwing mechanic to suit. I was able to beat the AI a couple of times with just using the default grip button release, the process itself felt quite natural. Things got a little more interesting when playing on a level with obstacles, it's a bugger when the balls start bouncing off objects making the game more varied. Props to the developer for embracing OpenXR, it booted from my G2 seamlessly and the oculus touch controls mirrored the G2 controllers perfectly. Id take that as it works with WMR devices. Ultimately it comes down to do you enjoy throwing mechanics in VR. Not everybody does, but if you do then there's a serviceable game here which offers up a fun time.

About This Game
What is Bocce?
Bocce ball is an ancient and simple game about getting your balls closest to the target. Players throw out a small ball called a pallino and then two teams take turns trying to get their balls closest to it, blocking, knocking, and blasting each others' balls in the process. The pallino can land anywhere in bounds and every ball can impact the others, resulting in an ever shifting playing field where the target can change with every throw. It's easy to learn, but difficult to master, and when millimeters can make the difference between defeat and victory, individual skill really shines!Okay, tell me about Bocce Time!
In Bocce Time! you'll head down to a peaceful park or atmospheric pier to play across 12 distinct bocce courts. You can jump into a quick match to 1v1 a random opponent online, create and join private rooms with up to 8 players, or play against AI across 3 difficulties to unlock additional ball customization options. With full cross-play, everyone's invited to join the fun! It's Bocce Time!Screenshots

Great way to ruin friendships
As someone who loves simple, quick VR games. I really enjoyed my time with this game and will definitely play more over time. My first time playing I played with a friend for around 45min and played almost every field. The games graphics are easy on the eyes and are reminiscent of other games like Walkabout Mini Golf. Definitely a good thing imo. I played this game through the RIft S and it ran very smoothly. My co-op partner was on the Index. [b]What I would like to see[/b] More fields to play on. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to add a lot of fields to this game. But the more the merrier. Especially since they don't take too long to complete. I would be more than happy to pay a $1 for an extra 18 fields in a certain biome (like a snow area, space etc). World/ball modifiers. The ability to change gravity, the size or the balls (even random each time it's your turn to throw), different ball objects like a octogonal sphere. Just random things that would add a fun twist to...
Fun toy with some good maps, had it for awhile
*Played on the Index* Me and a buddy played this bad boy for about 45 mins our first go. We had a really good time. The look of it has a bit of a walkabout minigolf feel and we also love that game so we felt right at home. The controls felt really good/ was really easy to figure out. We played 3 games on the normal field then moved on to the house/yard field. That was a big step up and we had a really good time trying to throw the little ball all kinds of places to make the game super hard on each other. Then we moved on to the other side of the map and did the ramp field (gotta get that timing just right) and then the tires field (this one was a real challenge). By the time we finished up we still had two more to go for next time. My main hope for this game is more fields / locations. Other ideas could be add more gravity or less. Change the shape/size of the balls into some weird shapes to make it harder. The game is off to an awesome start and was well worth the money if yo...
Games like that is why I love VR gaming. Buy, if you like to hang around with friends in a chill and cozy atmosphere. Unfortunatelly there's not many levels to play but the game is bang for the buck.
My favourite game this year. I've had fun, participated in tournaments, and made lots of online friends. It's a perfect multiplayer, and party game. What are you waiting for, get it! :)
lovely wee game :)
This game is extremely well done casual sport in VR. The scenery is pleasant to be around, the music is ambient, and the courses offer a mix of competitive and experimental vibes. Bocce Ball is not a game I have ever played in real life, but that is absolutely not necessary to enjoy this game. The game automatically does the rule work for you, and you and your friends can sit back and toss some balls. This game reminds me a lot of Walkabout Minigolf, in the way that it is perfectly built for a fun 45 min - 2 hrs of gameplay with friends, and the price is extremely affordable. Not to mention a whole new set of courses coming for free to the game! You can see my full review here: https://youtu.be/M1SBlqoaBFM
Chill and fun game with extremely satisfying throw mechanics. There is a good variation between courts and it supports single and multiplayer. Played the pre-release.
