PlayStation VR Worlds Reviews
Some may be put off by the fact that PlayStation VR Worlds is a collection of experiences rather than one focused game but they really shouldn’t be. Out of the five experiences on offer four of them are great to play and all of them work as a showpiece to show off to others. Whether you find yourself going back to the game will depend on how much things click with you but there is replay value there. Overall PlayStation VR Worlds is a fun game, as well as being a really solid launch title for the PlayStation VR headset that’s worth the price of admission.
Coming with five short and largely forgettable experiences, it would’ve been the perfect free pack-in with the headset, but as a costly product, it’s hard to reccommend when other VR games have already vastly surpassed its offerings.
A disappointment. That's how I'd sum up PlayStation VR Worlds in a single word. It's a collection of great ideas that could truly throw you into the magic of PlayStation VR, were it not for the feeling that they're half-arsed attempts at what should have been full standalone games.
Playstation VR Worlds is the marquee title for the hardware
VR Worlds contains five unique VR gaming experiences that all offer enjoyable forays into the medium. While each experience could benefit from more content, this bundle is still the best way to show off what your PlayStation VR can do to those who have never tried the medium.
The meekly named 'PlayStation VR Worlds' rarely escapes its origins as brief demonstrations, but it is certainly worth checking out as part of the greater 'PlayStation VR' launch experience. Some of the five experiences bundled here could make for great fully-realized titles, and failing that, this disc version is ready for any time I might want to show 'PS VR' to others. Plus, the game case makes for a smart place to keep the PlayStation VR cleaning cloth.
The collection of games in PlayStation VR Worlds will satisfy, if itls your very first PS VR experience, but you'll soon realize that there are already better alternatives out there.
There really are some great moments to be had with PlayStation VR Worlds, but as a package, it’s not overly impressive.
At the end of the day, Playstation VR Worlds is great for what it is outside of the VR Luge game which can be easily passed over. Every game or experience has something unique to it, but is desperately clawing to be something more. It would have been great to see these things fleshed out, but it also shows at the early stages of Playstation VR, that it has the tools to make something great. If you have a PSVR I would say to check it out.
If you own PSVR, PlayStation VR Worlds is something you will need to try out, just be aware this is an overall shallow experience.
An expensive taster that will leave you hungry
PlayStation VR Worlds is a fun collection of mini-games that really showcases the PlayStation VR technology but given that, it’s a one trick pony. After you’ve played the titles a few times, they do become a little repetitive, especially how short some of the games are. Nonetheless, it’s still worth a look and will provide some great bragging rights for those who have never experienced VR before.
The London Heist and Scavenger's Odyssey both provide well made and fun experiences that serve as great introductions to VR. Danger Ball is a decent, if not exceptional, Pong-like, while Ocean Descent offers a neat short film and two uninteresting ones. VR Luge is a total disaster in every sense of the word. Overall, PlayStation VR Worlds is a good starting package that would have done better as a pair of full games.
Not only is PlayStation VR Worlds playing it safe, it is not selling virtual reality in a strong enough way.
Boring at best, sickness-inducing at worst.
PlayStation VR Worlds is intended to raise belief in its accompanying hardware. And it does; once for each of its five technical showpieces. Afterward that high is only reached through a vicarious transfer from newcomers, positioning VR Worlds' potential as a dramatic flash instead of an imposing statement.
All up, the disc is forgettable and not worth your time, unless you’re keen to have a showreel of VR’s greatest hits for visitors. Move on to Until Dawn: Rush of Blood or Batman: Arkham VR instead.
PlayStation VR World’s biggest problem is that it is essentially five experiences that vary from must-play to not being worth your time.
It feels like PlayStation VR Worlds has two very good games buried within it that have been stripped back to demos. Rather than being amazing, indulgent main courses, they’re bite-sized chunks thrown into a pick-and-mix.
Here's hoping the better two games get standalone releases for cheap, because they're good
