Blood & Truth Reviews
Blood & Truth's story is about as gripping as trying to hold onto a bowling ball with greased up hands and its gameplay doesn't do much to make up for that.
London Studio takes its VR Worlds demo and transforms it into a full game --what was an interesting tech demo becomes an aimless and unbalanced VR shooter/narrative game.

This is an expanded, though not evolved, London Heist. A full game with gunplay that can be fun, if not exactly innovative. Unfortunately almost everything else surrounding the gunplay is either tedious or poorly implemented or both.

Blood & Truth is an exciting shooter with some deft VR touches; its forgettable plot and characters are made up for by the intricate details of its world.
Developer SIE London captures the vibe of the city and its characters, even though the gameplay is standard shooting-gallery fare
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.

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.

Mad action game with some good simple puzzle elements, movie experience and short and transparent story.

Blood & Truth is the full action blockbuster experience, with a few limitations to keep in mind.
Blood and Truth's bombastic setpieces, satisfying gunplay, and varied locales more than make up for a cliche-ridden plot and paper-thin characters. Some bugs hamper the experience, but a quick restart will fix most, if not all problems. The PSVR's tracking solution holds the game back just a bit, but the overall experience is enrapturing enough to ignore that. This is a standout VR title and a must-play for all PSVR owners.
Blood and Truth is an entertaining VR shooter with smart movement and inventive motion controls, but it does face some pitfalls.
A blockbuster action movie in VR form that shows the abilities of PlayStation VR and Sony's studios better than ever before, even if the experience is ultimately rather shallow.
Blood & Truth has a few bumps and technical inconveniences holding it back from fully achieving the blockbuster it yearns to be, but it's nothing short of an exhilarating, at times smirk-inducing ride from start to finish through the London streets and underground. A cinematic experience that joins the ranks as one of PSVR's must-own titles.
I didn't expect a whole lot from Blood & Truth and came away smiling. No it's not the best showcase for how far the VR industry has come as a whole (especially when the lead tech is a controller released in 2010), but it's the type of popcorn project I'd like to see more of from a major publisher in the space.
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.
Blood & Truth is the macho simulator par excellence. The tracking is reliable and accurate, while the abundance of crazy scenes guarantees an explosive and varied adventure, at least while it lasts. It has a serious need for extra content, but its heart is in the right place, in the midst of a thousand explosions and a shower of bullets and broken glass.

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.

PSVR's newest killer app, Blood & Truth is a superbly silly shooter that will make you feel like someone straight out of a John Woo movie with a cockney twist.
