Critic Reviews for Farpoint

Farpoint is more than a proof of concept or another tech demo for virtual reality. Despite its predictable and unsatisfying story and hard-to-ignore bugs, it's a full-fledged sci-fi shooter that feels fantastic to play with Sony's high-quality PSVR Aim Controller (and slightly awkward without it). Several smart control options and design choices cater to a variety of different types of players, and the gunplay is second to none in VR. If I were to recommend one shooter to a PSVR owner, this would be it.

PlayStation VR gets some much-needed support from Sony, but unfortunately Farpoint is a hollow novelty.

Farpoint may not move the needle as a shooter, but it's a sound VR experience if you can deal with the slight simulation sickness caused by the locomotion

Justin Clark completed Farpoint's campaign in about five and a half hours and spent another two fooling around in Challenge mode--and didn't even have to take a Dramamine this time.

Farpoint may seem basic in a few years, but it nails stuff a lot of VR games haven't figured out

Farpoint isn't bad, and to PSVR players who've never experienced anything like it, it may resonate harder. But know that there's far better out there in the same space.

Farpoint is a must have for anyone who decided to buy Sony's virtual reality glasses for their PS4. It is a title that is enjoyed and much, because it offers an experience that until now was unthinkable. It is not perfect, of course, and it has its faults and strikes, but it can be the way to go in the action genre of virtual reality.

Sony's big budget VR game has a lot of novelty value but only manages to combine the worst elements of first person shooters and lightgun games.
