Farpoint Reviews
If you plan to buy Sony's short, pricey, and unimaginative VR shooter, best to think of it as an investment in a pretty awesome gun peripheral
Farpoint proves that first-person shooters very much can work on PlayStation VR, but it never feels like this even believes itself that it's the definitive one. While Farpoint is certainly a fun adventure that you'll have a lot of laughs, and frights, with, there's little of narrative or strategic originality here and the idea that this will have a long life of competitive multiplayer seems to be hopeful at best.
Although Farpoint is the best VR game we've seen for a while, it's not the system seller that Sony really should have come up with by now.
'Farpoint' brings sharp shooting to PSVR, but still falls flat when compared to non-VR AAA shooters.
Farpoint is another perfect example of a VR game with solid ideas and spotty execution. There is a core of good gunplay and decent story, but the game quickly becomes one-dimensional in its approach, and finds a way to feel like a grind despite its short campaign.
Farpoint is an immersive and memorable experience...only when played with the AIM controller
Despite our hopes, Farpoint is boring first person shooter for PSVR, that lacks interesting combat situations and deep story.

Developer Impulse Gear has made an earnest attempt at a VR version of Halo, but the game, and its strange PlayStation Aim Controller, fall short of the target
PlayStation VR gets some much-needed support from Sony, but unfortunately Farpoint is a hollow novelty.
I had fun with my first run through Farpoint's single player and the experience in co-op is just as great. Again the blurriness in VR when aiming isn't ideal, but the core gameplay is so satisfying when shooting stuff I tend to overlook it, plus the AIM controller needs to be the new standard controller for any VR FPS games.
A reason to dust off that VR headset you got for Christmas
Though Farpoint doesn’t boast much depth, and at times it feels like little more than a shooting gallery, Farpoint stands as a pivotal milestone in the journey of VR as a viable, successful platform.
