PlayStation VR: The best games released and upcoming
Sony's PlayStation VR (PSVR) virtual reality glasses have been available for some time now. That is why it is not so easy to keep track of the many games that have appeared so far. Here is an overview of some of the best games of the past months and potential firecrackers, which should appear in 2019.
The adventures of a robot, a mouse and a chosen one
While "Astro Bot Rescue Mission" is not reinventing the genre of jump 'n' runs, the exclusive title, thanks to PSVR, provides a whole new kind of experience of experiencing the good old hopping game. In 20 colorful missions, players in the role of Astro must rescue cute little robots. Thanks to many funny details and ideas, virtual reality really adds value. The child-friendly adventure also makes older gamers smirk. An extremely successful overall package.
The equally magical action adventure "Moss" (also available for PC) beats in a similar notch. The player experiences a fairy tale story around the mouse warrior Quill, who not only bravely wields her little sword, but also has to solve numerous riddles. Here too: both children and adults enjoy the exciting adventure of Quill.
Basically, it is probably no longer necessary to lose many words about the role play "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim". Released for the first time in 2011, Bethesda's beloved fantasy action has become an absolute cult game in recent years. With "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR" (also for PC), the entire world of the epic can be experienced in virtual reality. So you almost become the chosen dragon's blood.
While "Resident Evil 7" is also available for PC and Xbox One, players should choose the 2017 PlayStation version of the horror hit for a reason. Only by PSVR the horror can be experienced in virtual reality. But players should be warned: The rousing experience is definitely not for the faint-hearted - and for children "Resi 7" is certainly not suitable.
Slow-motion shots and musical ninjas
Players should not be put off by the very simple graphics, because "Superhot VR" (also PC) offers one of the most unusual shooter experience ever. The gameplay is as minimalist as the visuals: opponents run towards the player and try to kill him. The trick: Time only works if the gambler moves too. Just right for those who want to experience firefights as in the "Matrix".
The firefights in the exclusive "Firewall: Zero Hour" are already running quite differently. The squad-based tactical shooter competes against two teams of four, one of which fills the attacker and the other the defender role. The easiest way to describe the shooter as a kind of "counter strike" in virtual reality.
While the weddings of "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" are long gone, since 2018 a new rhythm game has been conquering the hearts of fans. In "Beat Saber" (also for PC), blocks of blocks falling onto the player from different directions have to be smashed to the beat of the music with lightsabers. That may sound simple, but it can be very sweaty after a short time. But you feel like playing a musical ninja while playing.
Although the exclusive "Tetris Effect" can also be played without PSVR, it is only in virtual reality that the new edition of the classic game unfolds its full fascination. As the title suggests, the game enchants with all sorts of effects and soundscapes that give the puzzle game a new twist. Play it with PlayStation VR, the effect unfolds completely and you experience an almost hypnotic experience.
These games could be worthwhile in 2019!
Already on January 18th "Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown" will be released for Xbox One and PS4, a PC version will follow on February 1st. Although the entire game can not be experienced in PSVR, the PS4 version has some exclusive missions in the cockpit where you become a VR aviator. Fans can look forward to breathtaking aerial battles in any case.
The playable action thriller "Blood & Truth" has not got a fixed release yet. As elite soldier Ryan Marks, players are shooting their way through the London Underworld to save their families. But not only the boisterous action is kept in the style of 80s and 90s cult stripes, also a wink is always with it. Promises to be great fun.
In addition, "Eden Tomorrow" will be released by the German developer Studio Soul Pix this spring. Players crash on a strange planet in this sci-fi adventure.Since the astronaut suffers from amnesia after the impact, players rely on an AI called Newton, which is spoken in the German language version of Oliver Kalkofe (53).
A lot of suspense promises "Last Labyrinth" (PC, PS4), which should also be released in the spring. The pure VR experience is a puzzle adventure based on a principle that is currently very popular in real life, because it is an "escape the room" game. Players must solve puzzles to escape a villa that carries many dangers.
The creators of "Job Simulator" and "Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality" bring the "Vacation Simulator" on PC and PS4 in 2019. As in the predecessors, players can expect a proverbial sandbox full of opportunities. There is much to discover - and even more chance to rumble.
