Canvas Hockey

Quite the fun little hockey game! This is as good as you can get for a hockey game on PC till the day EA gives us NHL

[b] Canvas Hockey was featured on my youtube channel[/b] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2189141439 and now onto the short review [h1]TL;DR Review[/h1] //Description// Canvas Hockey is a top-down, arcade-style party game with local multiplayer, single & co-op career mode inspired from 90's hockey games. //Graphics, Sound & Artstyle// Canvas Hockey uses a painted art-style canvas in a topdown setting to showcase it's aesthetic. Chiptunes that sound straight from the 90's accompany the game to give one the feeling of something retro with modern touches. //Gameplay// It's fast, It's smooth, controls very well and is initially pretty hard to pick up on, but the learning curve is not too hard. After about 3 or 4 games you'll pick up on how to move, check, shoot and pass better. Puck must always meet the hockey stick and stamina plays a huge role in how much you can do in such a little space. //Price// 9.99 USD //How many hours estimated// It's a fun little time killer with friends and with remote play you can also extend the local co-op. With a seemingly deep career mode as well- full on with stat building mechanics I can see myself delving straight into it. Currently I am on Silver Division and 2.5 hours in. I know i'll be playing this at least a good 20-30 hours before I get bored of it. //Final Thoughts// When I saw Canvas Hockey I knew it was going to be a special game- I am not in the least bit dissapointed. I am having a blast- my friend who played with me is having a blast. I wish this game was more on the radar because it is simply a gem. What puts the game over truly is the camapaign mode- it's 1 min periods (which I wish I could turn into 2 min periods) of fast fluid fun set with playoffs at the end to see if your team gets promoted or stays in the same league (I am unsure if relegation is in tact here). I have a few gripes that are pretty small- such as no graphic settings or ability to make the game full screen- I have a feeling devs will fix that soon as I read many quality of life changes are coming.. I'd also love to see a poke check make its way into the game because you get two checks per stamina bar, I am also not very fond of the way to catch a pass only by direct contact to the hockey stick while it does make it more difficult sometimes it can be annoying. Overall it is a true experience with a twist or two here of 90s Hockey games. I'm having a blast and even if hockey isn't your sport- I think this is a great game for all to play and definitely worth it's 9.99 USD asking price [b] BUY IT NOW [/b]
