Frankly, I don’t even know where to start with this one how are you supposed to write about a game where you control soccer-playing alpacas? Much less ones that can rowboats in the overworld?
I can’t stop laughing, and if this review needs to get anything across, it’s that Alpaca Ball: Allstars (ABA) is as comedic as it is addictive. Developed by the wisecrack minds over at Salt Castle Studio, I can honestly say that playing this game is like trying to play digital foosball using Goat Simulator-style physics after everyone has had a little too much to drink.

First and foremost, ABA is fundamentally a party game, which means nobody should be taking this too seriously.
Aesthetically, the game makes its stand clear right from the get-go. The arenas and the overworld are done up in an adorably cartoonish fashion. It’s simple, daft, and even features a jolly South American vibe to wrap it all up.

We already covered the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max's photography capabilities rather extensively in our review, but the general idea is that Apple has done a great job improving the software side and offering better sharpness, detail and a new 5x telephoto zoom lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
