When PS VR2 ships on February 22nd, several AAA titles such as Horizon: Call of the Mountain, No Man’s Sky and Resident Evil Village will have everyone’s attention, but that includes And for good reason. But for those who haven’t broken their original PSVR in years and don’t own an Oculus, some of the most popular VR games that have come out in the last few years and now have a PS VR2 port you may not know about
One of the perks of reviewing PS VR2 is getting early access to literally dozens of PSVR 2 games before launch. Many of them are games that my colleagues and I tested for the Quest 2, but only with enhanced graphics and new features such as eye tracking. and haptic feedback.
So while I haven’t “reviewed” these games yet, I’m confident enough to recommend the best early PS VR2 games that most people will love, including the hidden gems you shouldn’t sleep on. I played about

A sort of prequel to Horizon: Forbidden West set in Sundom and starring a new cast of characters (including familiar cameos), Horizon Call of the Mountain will feature 4K graphics on PS VR2. It might sound like a marketing cliche, but honestly, you’re stepping into a post-apocalyptic world full of giant robo-dinosaurs and overgrown plants. . The headset’s wide field of view and pixel-rich display make you feel like you’re living in it.
If you’ve never played Horizon: Zero Dawn, you’ll need to drop everything and play it first, or read the wiki entry. Because the story of Call of the Mountain relies on a deep knowledge of lore. Beyond that, the game is a welcome departure from Aloy’s insane third-person acrobatics that make him feel almost invulnerable even in the face of robots 100 times his size. . Ryas is a skilled marksman (if he does), but the human-sized Watcher makes even his scouts much more intimidating in first-person view.
The game isn’t perfect. Perhaps because the world is so graphic intensive, you see more jittering than you would like when turning. Climbing is fun, but without a stamina system like The Climb 2, routes become more strategic It can be a little easier to make it more meaningful and time sensitive. But the combat is great, with the same challenge of dodging robot attacks while targeting robot weaknesses and elemental weaknesses on the fly.
Resident Evil Village
As a complete disclaimer, Village’s VR mode won’t be tested by anyone until the 22nd, so this recommendation isn’t strictly based on personal experience. offal I’ve played both RE 7 VR and RE4 VR.The former put PSVR on the map by turning a horrible game into something viscerally It looks scary and fantastic despite the headset’s FHD graphics. The latter turned the third-person classic into Quest 2’s fantastic (if low-res) first-person action-horror experience.
Resident Evil Village VR unlocks the full spooky potential of the franchise. many better visuals. The original 2D review raved about its story and quality of gameplay, but being attacked by a giant vampire woman feels even more intense when she physically towers over you. The same is true when hordes of Lycan enemies charge directly at you, as you have to physically aim and reload your weapon instead of pushing or flicking a joystick. The entire experience adapts to VR gameplay, making it even more immersive.
Plus, if facing Mass Murder Babies in VR proves too difficult, you can switch to play on TV at no additional cost. Or, if you already own a village, you don’t need to pay extra for VR mode!
pistol whip
Did you have one of my favorite VR games, Pistol Whip, for PSVR? You can get the PS VR2 port for free and all the DLC released in subsequent years like 2089 and Smoke & Thunder Plus, the promise of future free DLC is complete, so clear your wallet. I have.
It’s basically a standing-on-rail shooter where enemies spawn around you and you have to dodge bullets while shooting and pistol-wishing them yourself, accompanied by a catchy EDM soundtrack. There’s a lot of sweaty movement, but it doesn’t get in the way as the action is oriented in one direction so you can always keep the wire behind you while you play.
The Pistol Whip’s PSVR 2 port adds 4K visuals, 3D audio, and Sense haptics that react to shots and strikes. You can also benefit from the controller’s adaptive he triggers. This allows you to cue shots with natural trigger resistance before finally firing when an enemy comes into view.
Tetris Effect: Connected
One of my favorite experiences in both traditional and virtual gaming, Tetris Effect: Connected receives a PS5 upgrade tailored for PS VR2 on February 22nd. New marathon game modes for experts like Endless Master Mode and Single Player Classic Score Attack (modeled after the Tetris World Championship), plus new haptic feedback for the PS VR2 Sense controller and a decent 120Hz mode for headsets only , and the option to close or open the eyes to activate the zone mechanic.
Cute little gimmick at the end aside, I really enjoy how the unique vibration distinguishes different actions like hard and soft drops. experience This game turns Tetris into a visual, auditory, and tactile journey. My favorite new mode is the Endless Purify mode. I enjoyed the original timed mode because I always felt it was too short-lived to properly immerse me.
After spending about 80 hours in total on both the Quest 2 and PS4 versions, I’m thrilled that the developers are continuing to support and push the game to a higher level. I am sure you will enjoy it. If he already owns the PS4 version, he can pay $9.99 for the upgrade.
After the Fall: Complete Edition
Another zombie game? be patient! Vertigo Games makes some of the best unbranded action-horror VR experiences like The Walking Dead. After the Fall, the sequel to the popular zombie shooter Arizona Sunshine, strips away all the survivor horror elements that make Resident Evil so great and just throws waves of enemies at you. player corps.
The original Quest 2 port was great, but the only problem was the lack of variety in enemies and mechanics that was later fixed in the Reclamation DLC and Shock & Awe DLC.A new PS VR2 port that adds two new maps A full 4K, 110-degree experience and decent haptics, as well as great textures, lighting, and physics that mobile headsets can’t handle You can also get properties.
The game can be played solo, but is meant to be enjoyed with other VR friends and is highly recommended as a multiplayer experience to challenge the hordes as a co-op group. Plus, if you buy the PSVR 1 version, he gets the PSVR 2 port as a free upgrade.
Games by Owlchemy Labs
We’re going to cheat a bit on this sixth pick, but if you’re looking for something a little more family-friendly or comedic to keep up with all the action and violence, Owlchemy Labs is one of our favorite developers on that front. Best known for Job Simulator, one of Rift’s original titles that showed the early potential of VR, but newer titles Cosmocious High and Vacation Simulator are cartoonish games that everyone of all ages can enjoy. It offers a puzzle adventure experience.
Two simulator titles present an absurd world that seeks to recreate how robots work and take vacations, based on mankind’s relics. In practice, this takes full advantage of VR motion controls and leads to a series of ridiculous mini-games and scenarios that either complete the task or go completely off-task and cause chaos. Amazingly, PS VR2 shows what the headset wearer is doing on the TV, so the whole family can join in the laughter if they want. Alternatively, you can enjoy the game solo.
In Cosmocious High, the latest title from Owlchemy Labs, you are an adaptable alien high school student tasked with solving a mystery at a new school. The charming script and cool puzzles make this another one of the staff’s favorites.
Star Wars Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge: Enhanced Edition
Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge is not a fixed story Jedi: Fallen Order type of game. As the name suggests, this is an anthology of sorts. The main characters have quests to complete, but much of the series’ joy comes from stepping into the shoes of other characters from across the Star Wars timeline, from Jedi to bounty hunters.
This storybook style takes a toll on your concentration, but allows for a variety of playstyles and mechanics to enjoy. In other words, this is an excellent introductory game for inexperienced VR gamers to learn to aim weapons and navigate environments without getting motion sick. Overall, it’s an engaging experience with many well-known character cameos and engaging new characters to keep you invested.
