The Robot Rescue portion of the Playroom Demo stood head and shoulders above most other PSVR experiences I had had. It was an “a-ha” moment – this is what VR platforming could and should be. I was very glad to hear Sony planned to develop it into a full-fledged title. Kinda bummed they stripped out the second player game-play. Not that there was much to it.
Speaking of heading soccer balls, Headmaster is waaay more fun than a game with a single mechanic has any right to be. It has more hours put into it by my friends and I than any other PSVR game, including Super Hot.
I Expect you to Die is also a compelling experience that I keep returning to. Escape room type game-play with a secret agent aesthetic and cute humor. The light bulb moments are very rewarding when you crack a piece of the puzzle that has be stumping you. Even more so when you find multiple solutions that can shave seconds off your completion time.
