Game of the Year: Best PSVR2 Game of 2024

Any plans for a review of Max Mustard?

This list reaffirms that I do not need PSVR2

I only recently picked up PSVR2 again in the recent sale, so I think the only 2024 game I've played is Subside. I am certainly going to try Metro and look into the other games here a bit more, plus the recent Aliens game looks good

@Logonogo
lol, this “list” reaffirms nothing but that Pushsquare ignores VR.

Got me a Meta Quest 3s for Christmas and enjoying it so far especially Batman and Asgards Wrath. Shame Batman isn't on the PSVR2 but there's better games on it than what's in this list so don't let this put you off. Now that I know I don't get motion sickness I can splurge on the PSVR2 at some point next year as I want to play Horizon and Behemoth.

@thefourfoldroot1 just like everyone else

@Logonogo well, I thought this way, but bought PSVR2 a couple of months ago. Great piece of tech, awesome games and amazing experience — something I could not get from games on flat screen for several past years, when you understand the core mechanics of the games in a couple of hours and nothing else holds you there anymore, nor story, nor characters, nor progression. But PSVR2 games somehow stick you to this device and hold your attention until the very end... or until your arms and spine ake from swinging a sword or reloading a rifle. Great feeling. So I'd recommend you to try this VR set somewhere just taste the feeling of next-gen immersion.

@Tomato_Goose it definitely seems like a cool piece of tech to me it is just a bit too niche and too much of a commitment to get me interested. I respect it though. I played Resi 7 at my neighbors in VR back in college and it was an incredible experience

Rough year for VR2 but I'm hoping to see a few more Pro-enhanced stuff for it the next few years. GT7 with Pro looks awesome

@Logonogo
More fool them.

Metro isn’t good. It’s repetitive as hell. Two enemy monsters in 8hrs of gameplay (oh and a spider). The fact that Behemoth and Alien Incirsion don’t make the list says it all

The only VR games I had interest in this year were the Arkham game which wasn't even on PSVR2 and the Aliens game from Survios. 2 games isn't enough to justify that kind of $$$

Gt7 alone is worth it... for me.

I have a fanatec wheel setup, and tbh had drifted away, bored of gt7 until vr2 landed.

Pretty much since vr2 was released I've played gt7 everyday. It levels the game up a couple of tiers imo. Level of immersion, with a decent wheel is sublime.

Suddenly feels like you're using your real driving sense/perception. Used to hate Nordschleife, now I'm on it near enough every day. Trying out all the cars.

Difficult to explain how good it is, cocooned in your car, vr2, headphones, wheel setup. Spa 1 hour race in particular. Driving through the night, isolated, with darkness, rain, sounds all around you etc.

It's so so good. No longer feels like playing a game so much, but an experience.

I can't touch driving cars that aren't vr anymore. Tried a couple since, uninstalled them after giving them a quick try.

Barely touched any other vr game. I recently started re4. But very intermittent, as I tend to play gt7... along with a top tier pancake game. Completed rdr2 recently.

Must admit I find session on gt7 enough. Something slightly off-putting about wearing a headset fir hours a day. Nice laid out on couch playing on tv. Feels more relaxing, less arduous and feel less 'frazzled' after compared to vr games... silly as that may sound.

A lot of the catalogue doesn't appeal at all. Looks like a load of junk, that people entertain due lack of options and that I dont have inclination to want to try. I'd rather play a top tier pancake game tbh.

Not a FPS fan so, I often have to ignore a huge part of "Best VR" stuff (that and I really don't like TOP whatever anway lol).

However, I bought a PSVR2 because of the 40% off during sales and, while my goal is to later lose myself in No Man's Sky, I've been playing that Kayak game and Beat Saber and, so far, those two really delivered.

Kayak Mirage is incredibly relaxing and pleasant to roam in.
Beat Saber gives me the same euphoric vibe I got when I used to party with RockBand and my friends.
Only drawback, but that's very personal, I'm not confident enough to play beat saber alone as my play area isn't that large and I already bumped once or twice in a furniture lol.

Demeo is on my radar because I love boardgames and having an oppportunity to play even when my friends are not available sounds good to me.

I’ve started with PSVR again after a long time, having a blast with drums rock, Jurassic World, played a bit of Kayak, might try before my eyes later today. But metro and aliens are what I’m looking forward to. I haven’t played the 3rd metro game though. Anyone know if it’s needed?

Thanks to PS+ I tried Walkabout golf this year and that was my favourite (and decent music) although Vertigo 2 is a close second!
Kudos to Sony for including VR titles with PS+ it has provided a well needed shot in the arm!!

How is Subside? Tried the demo and put the game on my wishlist 🙂

@mac_da_man I really enjoy it, there's only a few environments altogether but plenty of collectables to find, which in turn open up a few extra experiences. I think it'll be one which will just be fun to jump into every now and then

@carlos82 Thanks mate, sounds great and I liked the demo so I’ll pick this up pretty soon I think 🙂
