PlayStation VR Worlds Reviews
In short, it’s a demo that you buy, and not even a good demo. The only reason it’s getting any attention or a modicum of praise right now is because it’s a launch title with little competition. In time, this thing deserves to be looked back upon with only scorn.
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.
Boring at best, sickness-inducing at worst.
Not only is PlayStation VR Worlds playing it safe, it is not selling virtual reality in a strong enough way.
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.
An expensive taster that will leave you hungry
If you own PSVR, PlayStation VR Worlds is something you will need to try out, just be aware this is an overall shallow experience.
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.
All-in-all, The London Heist and Ocean Descent are good VR experiences book-ended by mini-games that range from the woefully mediocre to the staggeringly dull.
Here's hoping the better two games get standalone releases for cheap, because they're good
PlayStation VR Worlds is messy attempt at repurposing tech demos into a retail package. While there's no doubt that The London Heist is among the best that Sony's headset has to offer, Ocean Descent is short-lived and Danger Ball won't hold your attention much longer. VR Luge is a nice idea that demands a more precise control scheme, while Scavenger's Odyssey will leave you reaching for your sick bucket. There's some amazing presentation and tech on display here, but despite London Studio's best efforts, it never really comes together as a complete, cohesive package. And while it's undoubtedly left us excited to see which worlds the developer will take us to next, it's hard to shake the feeling that these ones are nothing more than proof of concepts.
VR Worlds is a curio to use when showing off your shiny new product, but one that's otherwise consigned to the shelf.
Unwisely, Sony has decided to charge for a pack of five tech demos.

I'll be showing off London Heist and Scavenger's Odyssey to just about everyone that asks me about PlayStation VR, but those are worth about $10 each. Wait for a price cut before grabbing PlayStation VR Worlds, or better yet, just enjoy them with your PSVR bundle and skip the rest.
PlayStation VR Worlds does a great job of showing off Sony's tech, but the experiences contained in this collection are far too slight to be anything more than sideshow attractions. If you're looking to make the most of PSVR, you're better off buying full games than a modest collection of tech demos.
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.
PlayStation VR World’s biggest problem is that it is essentially five experiences that vary from must-play to not being worth your time.
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.
PlayStation VR Worlds is a decent collection of demos that you probably want to own as they’re an excellent way to show off VR. It’s such a pity that these experiences, as much potential as they show, are too brief to be worthwhile.
