Our verdict

7.4out of 10

Better than it looks because it makes you play both sides. A guessing game with a football on it.

About Penalty Kick Wiz

Penalty Kick Wiz alternates between the two sides of a penalty. You place a shot, then you guess a save, and both halves reward reading the opponent rather than reacting to them. There is no time to react to a real penalty, and the game is honest about that.

That makes it a bluffing game more than a sports game. Shooting the same corner twice is punished, and so is never shooting the same corner twice. Rounds are quick and the whole thing takes a few minutes.

How to play

  1. Aim and take the penalty.
  2. Switch ends and pick a direction to dive.
  3. Alternate until one side is ahead at the end of the round.

Tips

  • Power costs you accuracy. A placed shot into the corner beats a hard shot down the middle.
  • Watch what the opponent did last. The pattern is short, and it is there.
