Paper Beast Reviews
Despite being a port of a nearly four year old release, Paper Beast remains a roundly effective showcase for the capabilities of PSVR 2. A ponderous flight of fancy into an alien world filled with exotic flora and fauna, Paper Beast Enhanced Edition invites players to play a key role in the development of its engaging ecosystem, all the while taking them on a stirring adventure through a realm that will remain long in the memory. If you previously owned a PlayStation VR and didn't buy Paper Beast, now is the time to correct that mistake.
Paper Beast Enhanced Edition, through the fascinating design of its ecosystem, offers us a puzzle title that will make us think and wonder in a different way.

Paper Beast's origami animals delight, but the resulting game is less than the sum of its parts.
Paper Beast is short, but its a truly distinct and engaging experience that lingers with you long after you play.
A surreal yet memorable experience.
Pixel Reef's origami-filled adventure consistently maintains its audio-visual splendor, but often folds under closer scrutiny of its gameplay.
A mixture of first person puzzle adventure and surreal wildlife simulation is breathtaking at first sight, but shallow at second.

Paper Beast is a fascinating migratory tale that highlights the power of collaboration and mutual help. Too bad its distinctive graphic style is brought down by terrible textures and the Sandbox mode is only the shadow of what it could have been.

Every inch of Paper Beast is engineered to perfection. From the sprawling mouldable environments to the diverse and unique ecosystem, everything is interactive and engaging. I had an absolute blast with this title, and I think the majority of PSVR players need to play this at least once in their lifetime.
Paper Beast is an artistic and ambitious title bogged down by trying to explain something more than needed.
Eric Chahi's latest creation is a worthwhile PlayStation VR experience, especially if you like your worlds to be mysterious and interesting to explore. The game never holds your hand, instead leaving it up to you to discover its secrets. The puzzles can feel confusing at first until you get used to the game's unexplained mechanics, although the simple controls help things along. Even though the story is short, the sandbox mode will keep players coming back to this unique environment until your imagination runs out.
Playing Paper Beast is very akin to kicking back, chilling out, and listening to a Pink Floyd album — you are left in a contemplative state of mind.
Paper Beast is a peculiar experience that will give VR veterans a reason to go back to Playstation VR.

Playing Paper Beast is like experiencing a Tim Burton style fever dream that'll keep you perplexed and intrigued throughout.
Eric Chahi's back with a game defined by passion, surprise, heart and beauty.
If you’re looking for a VR experience that defies categorization, Paper Beast will not disappoint. While occasionally a bit too cryptic at times, it’s a fascinating fusion of the simulation and adventure genres that will keep you glued to your PSVR from start to finish. With a surreal and often melancholy main story to experience and bonus sandbox mode that allows you to craft your dynamic ecosystems and watch them come to life, it’s one of the more robust offerings for Sony’s headset in recent months. If the lack of handholding doesn’t bother you and you’re in the mood for something totally unique, give Paper Beast a try.
Paper Beast is a wonderful puzzle game that features a stunning sondtrack, a poignant story, and some tender moments that leave you breathless.
Paper Beast is a separate work in the PlayStation VR catalog. Its strange universe and its endearing beasts are its strengths, as is the beauty of certain panoramas, especially those at night, which undeniably allow the player to escape. Special mention to the sequence of the oil spill which seems to arise from a temporal fault ... The game mechanics partly recall a previous game by Eric Chahi, From Dust , but what a pity that only the travel by teleportation is proposed. Paper Beast is a good game, but with free movement it would be much better.

Paper Beast is a unique look at a reactive living world. It's a game that makes you feel like you're exploring an alien habitat through the lens of an interactive nature documentary. It's filled with (occasionally obtuse) natural, organic environmental puzzles. A personal and contemplative experience, Paper Beast could only be better if it were narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
Paper Beast is a beautiful experience that's only really possible in VR.
