When first stumbling upon All Sports by Golden Rock Studios, its vivid graphics and engaging sports theme immediately caught my eye, as an avid fan of both athletics and online gaming. Curiosity got the best of me, and I just had to give it a try.
Amongst the aspects I appreciated was the diversity of playable sports, ranging from basketball and football to tennis - surely something for all. Controls were intuitive too, welcoming players of varying abilities. That said, the emphasis on in-app purchases was less than ideal. While monetization is understandable, more opportunities to earn without spending would've been nice.
During a particularly intense virtual boxing match, a wrong button press had my character bust a move instead of throwing blows. The unexpected comedic relief was so amusing, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at my own mistake, leaving myself vulnerable to a knockout blow - though it was worth it.
For newcomers, my primary recommendation is dedicating time to honing your skills in each sport. Distinct mechanics and strategies must be learned, so don't get down if wins don't come easily at first - steady practice is key to improvement over the long run.
Competing globally against friends or strangers adds an extra layer of excitement, in my opinion. Appreciated too are consistent updates and fresh content, keeping the game feeling novel for loyal players.
Whether an avid sports fan or just searching for casual fun, I believe All Sports has something for all. But be warned - it's easy to lose track of time getting immersed in virtual athletic competition! Overall, I'd happily recommend giving it a go.
