Rez Infinite shows that the original gameplay still stands the test of time, now with added VR support and the cool Area X level. The asking price feels a bit high however, especially if you don't plan to use VR or already have Rez HD.

Rez Infinite complements PlayStation VR tremendously. Ought it be in the collection of every PS VR owner? Probably not.

The highest shelf in its species. Good old Rez ingeniously uses PlayStation VR goggles, but without nostalgia for the original there is nothing to throw. The price/length ratio of the fun is not the best.

Rez Infinite is an audiovisual treat all gamers should experience at least once. It might not be the longest or most in-depth game out there, but it aesthetics are practically unrivaled in this day and age.

Still a unique game after 15 years of being released, and this version adds new modes and a level that is closer to a preview of a potential sequel. For those looking for a fast paced and challenging game, with equality quick and unique graphics and sound, this is a great game with VR as well as without it.

One of the merits of PlayStation VR, beyond anything, is the fact that it brought Rez's great HD re-release to PS4. If you have never had the opportunity to try this milestone of the video game, you can buy the title even without having the viewer, sure to rediscover an ageless masterpiece. However, the ability to play with the headset is more than welcome. The gaming experience gains in terms of engagement, and the addition of Area X gives us a glimpse of how current, magnetic and wonderful Rez's formula still is. The hope is that this unprecedented level is just the starting point for an experience sewn around the potential of PlayStation VR.

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.

Even though Rez Infinite VR is 15 years old, it almost feels like it was originally created for VR.

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.

Rez has more than earned its classic game status and the updated Rez Infinite manages to be a fantastic experience whether you played the original game or not. There are so many elements that just blend together and create a fantastic, fluid experience that is only enhanced through the use of Virtual Reality.

Rez is an on-rails shooter that shines due to its unique auditory and visual design. Rez has aged well, and the added immersion of VR makes a great game even better.

The incredible gameplay, audio and visuals Enhance Games created is simply amazing for a launch PlayStation VR title, very rare in some cases. The VR option only adding to the immersion to this on-rails shooter is one of the best reasons to pick up a PlayStation VR unit. Although the game is very short, new content and unlockables by replaying areas make great use of your time.

Rez Infinite is a treat for the senses, and while there might not be a lot in the way of content, you’ll surely come back for more several times. The simple but addictive gameplay will draw you into a musical neon trance that you won’t want to leave, and it’s the perfect length for sharing with friends.

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.

Like its PlayStation 4 counterpart, Rez Infinite is essential for PC owners who remember the title fondly. It's also essential for those who own a VR headset, regardless of whether or not they've played it before or even have an interest in shooters.

'Rez Infinite' is a brilliant combination of new and old. Despite originally being released in 2001, 'Rez' feels like it was always meant to be played with head tracking and in virtual reality. From the ease of aiming to the excitement of scrolling past its trippy dreamscapes, every part of it feels enhanced. Throw in the excellent 'Area X,' and players also get a look at the captivating future that is in store for the beloved title.
