The results of current PlayStation VR game reviews are as good or bad.
The new PlayStation VR aims to give console users the ability to experience high-quality virtual reality without being bound to a PC. The initial tests and reviews show what players and the press think about virtual reality on the PlayStation.
PlayStation VR Game Reviews
To experience PlayStation VR, there are currently over 20 different titles available. You will find out how titles like Batman: Arkham VR, EVE Valkyrie, Driveclub, and VR Worlds fared.
PlayStation VR Worlds
This title is a collection of games that covers many genres. Ocean Descent is a game where you swim passively in the ocean and observe a lot of the environment with corals and sun rays penetrating the water. VR Luge is a game from the collection that is racing-style. You control it with your head and try to avoid obstacles.
Gamespot assesses VR Worlds as a game with significant highs and lows. It includes games that are a must for a VR experience, but it also includes Scavenger Odyssey, which caused motion sickness for the tester. Both IGN US and Gamespot rated VR Worlds 6 out of 10 points – On Metacritic.com, VR Worlds has a Metascore of 57.
Batman: Arkham VR
The Batman adventure is rated differently but has a good overall score. Gamespot reports that the game is relatively “short” with about an hour of gameplay. However, there are moments in the game that no Batman fan should miss.
In the conclusion from Gamespot, it states that Batman Arkham VR fulfills the promise of virtual reality. One can get so lost in the virtual world that the difference between the real world is hardly noticeable. Gamespot gave this game 7 out of 10 points – IGN US 7.2 out of 10 points – On Metacritic.com, Batman: Arkham VR has a Metascore of 72.
Driveclub VR
According to Videogamer, Driveclub VR is a good example of what benefits virtual reality brings to a game. For the right driving feel in your VR headset, you can adjust the seat height and distance to the steering wheel at the beginning of a race and then press the gas pedal well.
In the review by Videogamer, it mentions that while you have a good racing experience in this game, the graphics leave much to be desired. On Metacritic.com, Driveclub VR has a Metascore of 63.
EVE: Valkyrie
In a review from Thesixthaxis, Eve: Valkyrie is rated as a visually stunning game with smooth movements (without motion sickness). It is said to be a game that fulfills the fantasies of players who want to fly through space and asteroid fields as a pilot while attacking other spaceships.

Reviewers didn’t think it was great that there are only 3 multiplayer modes and 5 maps. However, the feeling of being a space pilot that the game conveys is unbeatable. TheSixthaxis rates the game 7 out of 10 points. There is currently only a Metascore for the PC version on Metacritic.com. This Metascore is 67.
RIGS: Mechanized Combat League
Destructoid took a closer look at the multiplayer robot shooter RIGS and came to a positive conclusion. RIGS are large, heavily armed sports machines that players control. With them, you play in a mix of various sports like motorsport, basketball, and combat sports. According to the testers, this game is one of the best titles with virtual reality. The stylish 3D overlay and the ability to look around with your head are 2 of the core points why the testers liked the game so much.
The game impressed Destructoid so much that RIGS received 8.5 out of 10 points. On Metacritic.com, the game has the best result in our summary with a Metascore of 76.
