As per above comment, I think the drawback of drafting in a load of different people to get the vr reviews done quickly (which is a great effort) is that the scores are a bit all over the place.
Startenders same score as horizon?
Cosmonious high (old school teleport only) same score as resident village (which isn’t on this summary list) and also higher than horizon?
Star Wars less than tentacular?
Reviews are of course totally subjective but some of the above don’t seem right to me personally
It may just be that this isn’t my type of game but I’m struggling to see how this gets the same score as RE Village. Especially given this is teleport only.
Think this is a pretty fair review - I’m loving this game/experience and spending lots of my early psvr2 time just enjoying this amazing visual vr experience.
My two boys just love seeing the whales and turtles and it’s definitely one I’ll be showing my friends to show off psvr2.
However, if I had to be truly objective it is pretty limited in terms of content - I think they have said they are planning to add more though. So fingers crossed!
@get2sammyb I’m really interested to know how much the games make use of the new psvr2 features - especially ports / remasters. Or are they just ignored.
For example, Star Wars Tales from Galaxy Edge is one of the most expensive launch games at £40 but despite being a big star wars fan, I’m holding off as it seems from what I’ve read so far, that whilst it’s the best looking version, it’s still a fairly limited quest game.
@get2sammyb thanks for the detailed and balanced review - I’m a big fan of psvr so super excited but think you’ve presented a really balanced view with both pros and cons.
Would it be possible to add a section on sound? Really interested in how well the 3d sound works. Are wired headphones better than wireless ones like the pulse ones (I’m pretty sure you can use wireless ones)? How’s the sound in cinematic mode etc?
Think it also depends when you registered your interest in psvr2. I did it months ago so got an email very quickly. Or maybe was just pot luck! Who knows!
I would 100% buy a ps5 version. Not played it yet and am holding out in hope.
I’m sure some will tell me I’m part of the whole remaster problem but if I’m being honest, I don’t really care - I’d just love to play a “proper” ps5 version of rdr2
I’m praying for Farpoint 2 - surprised it wasn’t mentioned but can’t argue with the suggestions in the video. Soooooooooooooo excited! Please announce a release date Sony!!!
Great to read so many more positive and / or balanced comments for a change. 😀😀 So tired of all the negative moaning on this site.
For the record, I don’t have fifa 22 (only fifa 21) and I’m delighted its in ps plus this month. My cousin is the same. 😀😀😀 So guess that disproves the whole “if you wanted fifa 22 you’d already have it nonsense” (including you pushsquare!). You could say that about any game really
“I'll say it one more time to everyone : Not every game has to be for you, and THAT'S OKAY.”
The irony of this is hilarious.
Gunnerzaurus and CynicalGamer, not every person has to play the game the same way that you want to, and THAT’S OKAY. We’ll still enjoy our experience no matter what you believe. Hope you enjoy the game your way too.
Great news - will definitely give this a go now. 😃
Each to their own opinion but I really can’t understand why my playing on an easier setting spoils it in any way for all those who want to play it on the “hard as nails” setting. Saying it’s altering the games “dna” makes no sense - just play it on the hard setting and enjoy your git gud dna. Meantime I’ll happily play and enjoy the slightly easier “ruined” version 😃
Gutted this isn’t for me - was really looking forward to this as thought looked a really unique take but no difficulty levels / such a hardcore approach means I just don’t have the time for this. Real shame as this was high on my “want” list. Hope those that do have more free time / are just more hardcore than me, fully enjoy it!
Think some of the comments above are a bit harsh - sure, it’s not at the top of my Want list but I’m interested to see what they do with it. I’ll save judgement until we’ve properly seen it.
Delighted with PGA 2K21 - that makes the month for me but appreciate golf games aren’t for everyone. Don’t care about others but will take the one home run and be happy.
Wow, what a negative article. Everyone has a different opinion about these shows of course but personally, I really enjoyed it - I thought there was a lot in there and the wolverine trailer was a great surprise.
As boring an answer as it may be, with 2 manic little boys I just don’t have the time to replay games - if a platinum requires a full on second play-through then no chance. I get limited game time and I use it to get through as many different games as I can. Now if they’d just make it legal to sell the kids on eBay....
Got these on day one and I’m really pleased with them. Really comfortable, decent battery life (lasts me a good few play sessions at a time) and decent sound. Sure there are better ones out there for more money but I’m more than happy 😃
Loved this game. Played this with my son at weekend in same house but on different PlayStation’s - I don’t have ps plus (he does) but still worked. Used iPads to chat (walkie talkies didn’t work) and was all great fun - so nice to play something with him that involved a bit of thinking! We only got halfway but he was on it the next day with his cousin. The cheers when they finally solved a problem beat any recent fortnite match!
@Robinsad You’re way out of date on Spider-Man Remastered. I played it in November and immediately stopped when it crashed my ps5. Started again in jan with all the updates and am halfway through with no hard crashes.
Huh? Only pure VR games are allowed in the poll? Why on earth is that?
1) The PS4 games poll wasn’t limited to PS4 exclusives only.
2) You’ve automatically excluded one of the best psvr games for ages - Star Wars squadrons.
3) That logic would exclude some of the best VR games over recent years - no mans sky, super hot, RE VII etc
Totally get the point from those not into VR about wanting a normal version too but this is a fantastic announcement as far as I’m concerned - if it comes to PSVR of course......Please......Pretty Please.....
So this game got great reviews from Polish Paul (10/10), PSVRwithoutParole and game chronicles. This site and Upload VR hated it. Is this just one of those games you love or hate or are there two versions of the game out there.????

Re: Hands On: The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR Is Massively Underwhelming So Far
Interesting but confusing!! This is almost the exact opposite of what PSU have just written (they gave it a 9/10).
Maybe the truth is inbetween but seems a very wide difference of opinion

Re: Mini Review: Return to Monkey Island (PS5) - Original Creators Return to Beloved Point and Click
Thanks for the review - this is definitely on my “get” list.
The only con listed was that it’s a bit short - how long is it exactly? It doesn’t say in the review I don’t think

Re: Hands On: Sifu's New Difficulty Settings are a Superb Addition
Well its now back on my list so hopefully that’s what the dev was after - not me personally of course 🤣🤣
I’m not great at the whole hardcore gaming thing so just knowing that I have the easier option if needed works great for me.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PSVR Game of 2020
Huh? Only pure VR games are allowed in the poll? Why on earth is that?
1) The PS4 games poll wasn’t limited to PS4 exclusives only.
2) You’ve automatically excluded one of the best psvr games for ages - Star Wars squadrons.
3) That logic would exclude some of the best VR games over recent years - no mans sky, super hot, RE VII etc
Sorry Liam, does’t make any sense to me.
