Rez may have been kicking around since late 2001 on the Dreamcast, but despite launching on several platforms since – including the PlayStation 2 – it finally feels at home on PlayStation VR. While you can play this modernised version of the cult classic without Sony's spiffy headset, the fact of the matter is that Rez Infinite was made for virtual reality. Honestly, it's just so good.
The game itself is a kind of synaesthesia shooter, where the beat of the music pumps through the DualShock 4, and you're tasked with targeting space crafts and all other kinds of enemies and shooting them down. All of your attacks are matched to the rhythm of the music, and when you've got the sound cranked up loud and the headset on, it's easy to forget where you are.
We've captured some gameplay for you to watch above – sorry it's not in 60 frames-per-second, that was my mistake – which should give you an idea of just how glorious this release is. But stay tuned to the site for a full review, which is unquestionably going to be high. And if you'll excuse us, we're off to play more Rez Infinite.

Awesome - one game I've never played but always wanted to. Hope to get this on VR one day.
This looks so cool, did it make you feel nauseous at all.
@SnowstormX Nope, was having an absolute blast playing for about an hour last night. Felt fine.
Looks like fun and the music additive, but for me it's hard to watch with the shaky-center-focus. Being in it sounds better.
Well, I'm loaded up with roughly 14 launch games (or games with add on VR content). Rez is one of them. Hope it's good!
Just taking a break from setting this dang thing up lol. It's a lot of stuff
