Blood & Truth Reviews
Despite its issues here and there, Sony’s London Studio seems to have found a way to bring the on-rails shooter, into virtual reality while improving the main idea.

Blood & Truth is one of the greatest experiences in PlayStation VR. With a James Bond-esque story, the game has some great action sequences with a lot of goons to shoot and a plethora of weapons to use, London Studios shows us the kind of games we should see more often in VR.

In my opinion, there are only a handful of games that can be categorised as a system seller for Sony’s headset; something that would make it worthwhile laying down the cost of VR. Games like Beat Saber and Astro Bot have proven themselves at making VR work in its own right, and now you can add Blood & Truth to that list. And if you already own a PSVR you would be doing yourself a disservice by not going out and picking this game up.
As big a proponent of the system I am, my PSVR has nonetheless been kind of collecting dust these last few months after the heady highlights of Borderlands 2 and Astro Bot.
Another blockbuster hit for the PS VR, Blood & Truth marries unparalleled action with a fun, thrilling spy story.
From the compelling and well-acted story to its engaging combat, SIE London Studios has delivered one of the best VR experiences on Sony's platform. Like a hard-boiled blend of John Woo and any good London heist movie, Blood & Truth stands tall as one of the best PSVR games to date.
Mad action game with some good simple puzzle elements, movie experience and short and transparent story.

Blood & Truth is the console virtual reality game that we've been dreaming about since PSVR was announced.
This is what VR should be; a combination of enjoyable gameplay, solid immersion, decent story and acting, all brought together into one Layer Cake of gaming.
Developer SIE London captures the vibe of the city and its characters, even though the gameplay is standard shooting-gallery fare
It seems to me that Blood & Truth, in some aspects, has backed away from the London Heist. Certainly I can't get rid of the impression that it's still a tech demo and not a full-fledged title. Because of all the shortcomings and the feeling that the title is pretty unfinished overall, we can't rank Blood & Truth for more. But if you can get over that, you will have a blast.

The PlayStation VR Crown has just added another valuable jewel to itself with Blood & Truth.
Blood & Truth is a more than worthwhile experience that pushes the PSVR well beyond its limits and is a must-play for PSVR owners. As infuriating as some moments can be, most of my complaints can be blamed on the dated hardware and not the game itself. Though the game isn't flawless and does have some questionable design choices it's still a showcase title that offers enough "wow!" moments to keep you playing through it's 5-6 hour campaign despite its shortcomings.
If you’ve ever watched an action movie and thought you’d like to try your chances being the hero, piling up bodies as you make your way closer and closer to the villain then Blood & Truth is definitely something you’re going to want to check out. Thanks to it’s gunplay mechanic and it’s cast of characters I found it to be one of the most immersive VR experiences I’ve ever played. I was so engrossed in the game that I was physically ducking out of the way of incoming bullets and exploding debris while making my way through the stages. Blood & Truth offers an engaging 5 hour experience and is the exclusive that PSVR owners have been waiting for.
Blood & Truth is the absolute best of its kind and the definitive reason to own a PSVR. It includes showstopping gameplay, brand-new and amazing ways to interact with the world and never ceases to be more fun than it has any right being.
Blood & Truth is a game that is leading the charge in smart, player centric, accessible and enjoyable VR games design. From the comfort of my couch, I’ve been made to feel like a highly skilled soldier for 5 whole hours (and more, thanks to the time trials now available), pulling off impossible feats while requiring just the right amount of effort to keep me immersed without making me feel like a passenger.
While there’s an inherent fumbliness to Blood & Truth – I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve dropped a grenade under my own ass, my friend – it’s a game that wants you to feel and look cool. When you’re in the zone, it’s the closest to playable John Wick as we’re likely going to get – that is if John Wick liked flipping people off and collecting vape bottles.
Once the credits roll, you truly get a sensation of closing out the thrilling finale of an action movie.
Blood & Truth is a perfect example of why virtual reality is still relevant in 2019. With fun run-and-gun gameplay, combined with some thrilling stealth action, the VR-title succeeds in immersing the player in an excellent spy adventure.
