I’ve been a fan of VR for many years, owning both the original PlayStation VR headset and the recently released PlayStation VR 2. The initial ‘wow’ moment you get from first stepping into this new reality never goes away, developers always seem to come up…
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you awoke in the body of a Shiba Inu (the ‘Doge dog’), directing the mindless spirits of fallen humans around various maze-like stages as you guide them into the light? If you have then you’re…
Are you a fan of the Zombieland films? Stupid question really, of course you are. Well, now you can be in the same world (sort of) as your favourite zombie ass-kickers and dish out some double taps yourself! Zombieland: Headshot Fever is an arcade-style shooter…
Back in November 2018, I reviewed Hitman 2, a brilliant sandbox murder simulation game which I quickly became obsessed with – playing it constantly to see how I can kill everyone in a new and creative way each time. The same thing happened when we…
I’ve been meaning to watch Little Witch Academia for a while, so I finally got round to it in preparation for reviewing this game. Little Witch Academia: VR Broom Racing (a mouthful and a half so will shorten to Little Witch Academia from now on), is…
Do you ever get the urge to simply swing a sword at something, satisfyingly mowing down enemies as your sword makes an impact whilst you swipe through nameless beings? Whether it’s a game like Dynasty Warriors or something a little more personal (with one-on-one combat),…
Gamers everywhere were being terrified this time last year when we were dropped alone in the forest with no one but Bullet to keep us company as we searched for a missing boy. The already atmospheric and intense experience of Blair Witch, by Bloober Team…
Over the last few years, we’ve seen a number of PSVR titles release their exclusivity and either branch out to other VR platforms or drop VR altogether and become PS4, or even multi-platform, titles with a re-vamped ‘Flat Mode’. However, what we have here with…
There have been a number of games delayed, put on hold, or simply cancelled due to coincidental events which occur in real life that mirror the concepts within the game. A while ago Death Road to Canada‘s release was delayed due to a tragic set…
The Room is a series of clever and intuitive puzzle games which originated on mobile devices, the original title was one of the first games I ever bought for my iPad. Since then we’ve seen a number of sequels, ports on PC, and even a…
Everyone’s seen Groundhog Day, the classic RomCom from 1993 about a guy who relives the same day over and over again, changing things each time in order to try and break the loop so that tomorrow will finally arrive. Although the film was a massive…
VR allows you to do things you can’t in real life, such as become a wizard or fly through the sky, and also things you don’t want to do, such as die via suffocation in outer space (thanks Detached). One of my biggest fears is…
Back in April 2019, the world was introduced to Paper Beast, a PSVR exclusive title that looked very unique – a silent, non-narrative experience with gigantic creatures made out of paper. I purposely decided to keep away from any videos or articles previewing the game…
Ski Jumping looks incredibly terrifying, it’s not something I’d want to even attempt in real life due to fear of breaking my leg or neck as I come crashing to the ground. However, thanks to Virtual Reality, I can give the adrenaline-pumping sport a go…
I’ve played games with CGI environments and real actors via FMV, such as The 7th Guest, and I’ve played full-on FMV games, such as The Shapeshifting Detective, but I think this is the first time I’ve actually ‘played’ an FMV game in VR. Afterlife is…
VR is a great platform for you to get all creative and express yourself in a way not possible in real life. A while back I played and reviewed CoolPaintr VR, a game in which I recreated a 3D statue of Spyro the Dragon despite…
I was a Nintendo kid growing up, owning every one of their consoles from the SNES all the way up to the Switch, each one being my main console up until the Wii which is when I bought an Xbox 360. So, I missed out…
As an avid puzzle fan, one who likes puzzles which really makes you think about the solution rather than breezing through some simplistic designs, Last Labyrinth stood out as a game I needed to get my hands on. From the outside the game looks great…
To tie over Whovians between the last series of Doctor Who and the next, Developer Maze Theory and publisher Playstack have released Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, a Virtual Reality game which puts you alongside the female Doctor in an all-new adventure. Combining new…
BoxVR is exactly what you’d expect it to be – it’s a VR boxing game – only the twist is, you box along to songs and on-screen prompts. Developed by FitXR, it stands out against other boxing games, such as Creed, as not only is…
If you’re anything like me, you won’t have heard much about Sairento VR for PSVR until very recently. It seemed to come out of nowhere which funnily enough sums this game up perfectly, as that’s what you will be doing as a cyber ninja in…
VR horror has really taken off recently with some brilliant, and some not so brilliant attempts at placing you in worlds that try to be even scarier than the one we live in. The latest attempt on the PSVR system is Rise of Insanity, a…
Launching alongside the new Wolfenstein game, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, we have a Virtual Reality experience that sees you take down those terrible Nazis by using their own technology against them, all whilst walking the same streets we see in the main adventure. Become a virtual pilot…
Why do we have another Moss Review? In case you didn’t know, the creators of the VR platforming hit Moss, Polyarc, have recently released a free update, adding a new chapter called the Twilight Garden. This review will be a fresh look at the base…
I was very excited when I saw that Paper Dolls: Original was coming to the PlayStation 4. It originally released as a VR title on both the PC and PSVR headsets last year, albeit with a few changes to make it more suitable for VR.…
Justin Roiland is no stranger when it comes to comedy, being the co-creator and main vocal star of the popular Adult Swim TV show, Rick and Morty. So, when we all discovered he was creating a new VR-enabled adventure game, starring a new character (yet…
Angry Birds is a series of games that needs no introduction at all. Starting life as a 69p application on the iPhone AppStore, it quickly grew in popularity as hundreds of levels were freely added before the developers moved on to spin-offs, different genres, and…
Killing Floor: Incursion is a VR title available on all major VR platforms, this review was done using a PSVR on a standard PS4. This title, by Tripwire Interactive, is the first actual ‘campaign’ within the Killing Floor universe. Unfortunately for those of you who…
The makers of The Exorcist: Legion VR have brought their other hit VR horror title: A Chair in a Room: Greenwater, to PSVR, 3 years after its initial release on the HTC Vive. Even as a horror enthusiast, Wolf & Wood have created another strong…
We’ve had a lot of static shooting games on the PSVR platform as well as a few creative ones which include the use of bow and arrows and melee weapons. However, I can’t recall any games, off the top of my head, which gives you…
As a kid, I used to have rather vivid dreams and nightmares. We’ve all dreamt about dying or running away from something only to find you’re running on the spot and can’t get away. However, ever since our house was burgled, whilst we were upstairs…
We’ve been getting some really good experiences on PSVR recently, especially in the narrative and puzzle department. Red Matter had a brilliant narrative combined with stunning visual effects, A Fisherman’s Tale was a quirky puzzle game with a twist, and Guns’N’Stories humorously combined a static shooter…
Everyone has their own routine in the morning, you get up, brush your teeth, have a shower, get dressed, have your breakfast etc… But, what if you awaken one day and things are different, something seems out of place and stops you from completing your morning…
One of the most popular genres on PSVR at the moment is the immersive First Person Shooter [Wave-Based] genre, this is because the concept suits the medium perfectly. You take the role of the protagonist, you become a badass with both hands operating independently, and it’s a…
Have you ever wanted to experience what it would feel like if you could explore a creepy old mansion full of steam-punk like devices as you lifted up objects with a Sonic Screwdriver? If so, then you’re in luck! Torn is a VR puzzle adventure game, from Aspyr,…
I love my PSVR headset. Some of the experiences and games you can get are pretty crazy and wouldn’t be possible without this immersive technology. One such experience, which I didn’t realise I wanted until I played it, is escaping from prison, a prison which…
Every now and again a game or experience on the PSVR comes along and initially blows my mind. I become hooked to the universe, the mechanics, and the story so much that I can’t stop playing until I see the end credits roll without taking my…
I’m almost certain that I’m on record saying I’m not the biggest fan of ‘Roguelike’ games. I have a hard time enjoying a game in which I know that the core gameplay is that I will die, a whole lot, and have to re-start from…
I’m not a fan of camping. My list of strengths doesn’t include the ability to hunt, fish or other essential survival techniques. So, if I were to take on the role of “The Forest” protagonist Eric LeBlanc, I would last a maximum of 24 hours.…
Survios released one of my favourite PSVR games of 2017, Raw Data, a game where you chose from four classes and fend off evil robots as you protected a device from destruction in First-Person VR. This time around we have something completely different, Creed: Rise to Glory…
Transpose is an innovative puzzle game from Secret Location, the team behind the brilliant Blasters of the Universe, which I reviewed a while ago. However, instead of creating another stationary wave-based shooter, the developers have created the most unique and challenging puzzle game I’ve seen so…
Anyone remember Cube? The rather exciting and unusual film from 1997 about a group of people stuck in a labyrinth of cube-shaped prisons which moved around as they tried to escape, each one filled with rather elaborate traps and even a hint of time travel…
The Grand Museum VR, from Owlgorithm, isn’t a game, as such, it’s an experience. Although, it’s one of the few ‘experiences’ which comes with its own set of trophies on PSN as experiences usually don’t come with any such as the Virry VR one I…
Back in March 2017, Winking Entertainment published Unearthing Mars for the PSVR headset. It was a two-hour first-person adventure in which you, and your team, land on Mars in order to solve some puzzles and engage in some FPS moments. Personally, I never played the…
Heavy Fire: Red Shadow is the latest addition to the Heavy Fire arcade shooter series. Unlike the previous titles, this isn’t an on-rails shooter, it’s a stationary one in which you operate a heavy machine gun and a rocket launcher. The game is currently out…
You best put on a couple of pairs of adult diapers in preparation as Home Sweet Home is one of the most intense PlayStation VR compatible horror games released to date, and it’s ready to take you on an experience you’ll never forget. Home Sweet…
Back on the PlayStation 2, a series from Konami was released called Zone of the Enders. They featured mecha battles and action, along with anime-styled characters and story. Years later, a high definition collection came out on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with crisp,…
Virtual Reality is perfect for those of us who want to experience things we could never dream of doing. Such as venturing through magical lands, taking down hordes of zombies, and even watching on as a loveable mouse goes on an adventure. However, what if…
Detached is a simply stunning PSVR title that has you solving puzzles and evading unknown lifeforms whilst you float through zero-G in space! The game does have a multiplayer, but the main crux of the game is its immersive and challenging single-player mode along with its…
Anamorphine is a visual story experience that guides you with its vivid and spectacular imagery rather than any written or spoken narrative. If I was to place it within a generic genre then I would say it’s akin to a non-interactive walking simulator such as…
In my previous career, we used to love going into constant training as each session usually ended up with us all playing a game of Jenga in order to forget how mundane both the job and the training was. Red Accent Studios and Oasis Games…
China isn’t well known for its console video games as many of the developers tend to opt for releasing mobile games instead, as the market over there for mobile games is huge! However, every now and again we are presented with a few titles which…
The Exorcist: Legion VR came out of nowhere for me as I hadn’t been following its development and I’ve not heard of it previously due to not really being the biggest VR horror fan. However, as soon as I saw it was available something within…
A few weeks ago I reviewed the fun and creative Floor Plan from developers Turbo Button on the PSVR. It was an amazing game, although a little short, which had you stuck in an elevator as you went up and down through various floors in…
I bought Megadimension Neptunia VII for the PS4 a few years ago, yet I could never find the time to get around to playing it as I knew it would turn out to be a big adventure. In the run-up to obtaining Megadimension Neptunia VIIR, I…
Do you remember R.I.G.S? A PSVR launch title that mixed Mecha combat with sport? That game was promising but also very nauseating to people new to VR, myself included, as you could run around, jump 40ft into the air, get shot out of your Mecha…
Last week I reviewed Dead Secret, from Robot Invader, on the PS4 + PSVR – a murder mystery point-and-click adventure game set in the 1960’s within an isolated house in the country. Upon finishing the review, I was offered a code for Dead Secret Circle, the…
If you’ve been with us a while then you will know a few things about me – I love VR, Thrillers, Mysteries, Adventures, and Puzzle Games yet I really don’t like horror games or jump scares. So, why am I playing a horror based game…
Crisis on the Planet of the Apes is a new VR game from IMAGINATI and FoxNext where you play the role of a captured ape in a story set between Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and Dawn of the Planet of the…
Time Carnage is the second wave-based PSVR shooter I’ve reviewed this week, having done Lunar Stone: Origin of Blood just the other day. However, Time Carnage scraps the story and replaces it with back-to-back action within this very good VR shooter with solid controls. Not everything…
A genre that I would love to see more of in VR is the music genre. We have had titles like Happy Drummer and Hatsune Miku (although Hatsune Miku was more a virtual concert than an actual music game) and now we have been given…
Lunar Stone: Origin of Blood is your typical wave-based shooter in VR, with the added element of a melee weapon and an unusual dodging mechanic. Since the dawn of PSVR we have seen a number of wave-based shooters, with recent additions such as Time Carnage,…
ARK Survival evolved truly has evolved. Not only has it branched out from Early Access into its retail release on PC, Xbox One and PS4, but it’s also been announced as coming to both the switch and mobile devices in the near future. Even with…
Everyone knows I love a good puzzle (just look at how many puzzle games I have reviewed so far!) and I’m also known for loving my PSVR. So, along came Rangi – a puzzle game built in VR – sounds like a match made in…
Blasters of the Universe is a wave-based VR shooter from Secret Location, and whilst we have already received a few of these on PSVR, such as Shooty Fruity and Time Carnage, Blasters of the Universe is up there as one of the best in the…
When we were kids, we used to love reading storybooks and having them read to us as we dozed off to sleep. Moss, from the amazing team at Polyarc, captures the magic of hearing a fairytale and mixes it with an interactive experience like nothing…
There are certain genres that have moved through the times with us from 2D to 3D and even into Virtual reality, the FPS, Simulation, Puzzle games, and even 3rd person side-scrolling games. However, there is one genre, which was extremely popular back in the late…
I heard about Apex Construct a few weeks ago and instantly became interested when I found out that ex-DICE employees are behind it as I love my PSVR but other than a few amazing titles (a few on the way this week) the majority of…
Cold Iron is a first as far as I’m aware as it combines VR with a Puzzle game and a shooter – something I personally haven’t seen before and developed by Catch & Release who is an independent game studio that was founded by two brothers,…
What games did you play with your family over Christmas? Charades? Monopoly? Maybe even it’s Quiz Time? I went to my parents and we played all of the above plus one more which took centre stage for a few reasons, VR the Diner Duo from…
I only purchased one piece of new tech in 2017 which is strange as I usually jump on all new devices as soon as they become available. However, the new tech I bought was something I had owned once before, PSVR. When I initially purchased…
I think it’s fair to say that a lot of people have been on the fence about VR over the last 12 months, is it worth investing into a VR headset device or are there only ‘experiences’ available for it? I have nothing against the…
If you have ever worked in a supermarket on either the checkout or packing duties then you have most likely drifted off into your own fantasy world at some point. The monotonous task of scanning item after item, or placing the correct thing into the…
I’ve played a lot of games over the years, seen many movies and one thing always stuck out – zombies, why are they always trying to eat brains? What’s their reasoning? I wouldn’t find it very appetising, so why would an undead version of me…
This is not a game. This is not a Movie. This is a piece of immersive theatre with many tangled threads. Explore the story to untangle the truth. But remember: “Truth is a matter of perspective”. The Invisible Hours is the latest game from Tequila…
