Rez Infinite Reviews
Even if you don’t have a PSVR, Rez Infinite is still the most complete version of an imaginative cult classic with deceptively nuanced gameplay, but if you do, it’s also an impressive glimpse into the transportive power of virtual reality.
Like having a drunken conversation with a friend who really loves music, but it's a videogame and good.
VR finds its killer app in a 15-year-old Dreamcast game.
An already amazing journey into synesthesia achieves its full potential with PS VR and Area X. A no-brainer buy for anyone who owns Sony's VR headset.
Despite it's short campaign--you can complete everything in a little more than an hour, if you're skilled--Rez Infinite is the game to buy a PSVR for. It's hypnotic and enveloping. And it's transformative, both within itself and in the wider scheme of the experiences made possible by VR. You don't want to sleep on Rez Infinite, because with the addition of more polished visual flair and the dreamy Area X, we have a new classic for the new generation on our hands.
But Rez Infinite is the thing we've been waiting for since before we knew this was a thing we could even reasonably expect to wait for. Strapping Rez to your face and living inside it is the ultimate realization of this story, setting, and gameplay. As someone who has returned to Rez nearly annually for damn near 20 years, Rez Infinite is the version I'll play.
It’s impossible to deny the allure of Rez Infinite.
Rez Infinite is the greatest VR game to date
With its 1080p resolution and crisper visuals, you’ll find very little reason to not pick this up and play. This is the best that Rez has ever been.
Simply the best PS VR game out yet, albeit a short one.

Rez is an atypical (and artistic) shooter that combines a psychedelic look, musical elements and total immersion thanks to the use of PSVR.

A timeless classic that works exceptionally well in VR, as it melds together gameplay, graphics, and sound in a way no other game has ever matched.
I don't know how this series keeps holding on, but I'm glad it does. Initially debuting as a Sega exclusive, it jumped ship to Microsoft, and now, Sony. I don't really care who gets it next, I just want more Rez.
Rez Infinite is intoxicating and exhilarating in equal measure. Despite fundamentally being a fifteen year old game, its arrival on PlayStation VR seems to have finally completed the visionary work of Tetsuya Mizuguchi and puts you wholly within this overwhelming piece of sensory software.
Timeless gameplay, visuals and music come together in one of the best shoot ‘em-ups of all time; with the new level and VR options only adding to the immersion.
The breathtaking return of a timeless masterpiece, that thanks to VR support becomes a mesmerizing lucid dream. Simply put, pure digital ecstasy: from now on, I'll never be able to play Rez in any other way.

I’m still not sure the technology will ever prove a proper host for the sort of massive, mainstream games that dominate the industry, but so long as developers keep making memorable experiences like Rez Infinite, I’ll happily keep donning my headset to see what they’ve created.
Rez Infinite is the latest in the continued evolution of Rez. One can hardly call it a sequel, because a large core is made up of Rez and Rez HD content, but Area X proves that the game can evolve without the original content becoming stale or irrelevant. With or without PlayStation VR, Rez Infinite is an incredible revival of a classic best, but given the choice, I’d much prefer to immerse myself with the headset on my head, finding the ultimate incarnation of Rez’s synesthesia in virtual reality.
In the end, is Rez Infinite to be classified in the category of lazy ports to enlarge a line-up or does it really justify going back to the checkout? Without hesitation, we put it in the second. Virtual reality makes it possible to modernize the game and involve the player thanks to an immersion impossible without this technology.

I am convinced, thanks to REZ Infinite and PlayStation VR, that I finally tried the real REZ, that is, what Tetsuya Mizuguchi had in his head as a "giappomatto" when he poured the 250 MB of data (about) that made up the first version of the game on the disc for PlayStation 2. It's a title that can also be used on a TV but, believe me, find a Sony helmet at any cost and try it in VR: you won't regret it.
