PlayStation VR2 (PSVR2): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games (original) (raw)

Not had the PSVR2 for long, but I can say it’s definitely better than its predecessor. Some of the games are visually ming blowing, Kayak VR Mirage & Red Matter 2 are two games that are absolute stand outs in terms of visuals. I am still to try Resident Evil, GT7 and Horizon, but have heard these are also very good. There are currently just over 200 games that support the PSVR2, so there are plenty of games to pick from.

The set up is nice and easy, just one cable feeding into the PS5, and once the controllers are set up, you’re good to go. Eye tracking is great, your surroundings are blurred out and it focuses solely on what you’re looking at directly, which I think is a good feature, as the image sharpens, making what you’re looking at, pop.

The rumbles you get in the headset and in the controllers are a great feature, definitely adds to the immersion. The controllers are a lot better than the move controllers, these are a huge upgrade. The headset itself isn’t comfortable, I might need to mess around with the settings more to fit my face better, but currently I am struggling to keep it on for more than 20 mins.

The only major drawback is the lack of video apps, as this would make the machine complete. I feel like Sony is missing a trick on this one. Their focus is lacking on the PSVR2, they need to put more effort into the software, as the hardware is fantastic.

If you’re new to VR games or a big VR gamer, go for it and buy, you won’t be disappointed. If you want it for video content, DO NOT buy, there is not one app that supports video content, and from the looks of things, there won’t be one, certainly not in the near future, which is incredibly disappointing. Just to add, there is also no VR feature within the YouTube app on the PS5.

Overall - fantastic, the price reduction was the deciding factor for me and if you want a high end VR gaming experience without an expensive PC gaming rig, this is the one for you.
