I better get Metro finished quickly

Man, I shouldn't be surprised but Reddit and PSVR2 are home to some truly stupid people.

The Arken Age early preview posts getting comments like, "what kind of review is this!? I don't know anything about the story. Is it a roguelike, wave shooter? Why aren't the reviews or developers sharing more details?"

 

[SilentUser]

The previews are generally very positive, that's pretty cool.

Thats one nice list. We really got awesome and diverse games last year. Oh and Phasmophobia was high on the PS5 list, too (Sony should make an extra list including hybrids titles).

I snagged Crimen - Mercenary Tales.

This game was not on my radar until I realized that it's the same developer as Wizards. It's 55% off right now, $13 instead of $28.

Crimen looks goofy as hell and I'm not sure what to expect but I will share impressions.

 

[fart town usa]

Yea, the hit detection in Crimen is really bad. I'm gonna try to figure out if I'm doing something wrong but I suspect it's largely the game.

It hasn't prevented progress but man it is so sloppy, lol. Right now it's kind of endearing though, as strange as that sounds, because the game is so damn goofy, everyone looks like a variation of Karnov

Outside of the hit detection issue, it's been pretty fun and there's not a whole lot to complain about with visuals, it feels like a saturday morning cartoon. I could never recommend this game to anyone because the hit detection is so bad. I am really glad I didn't pay full price.

I'll capture some footage later for lulz.

Uh... how old are you, to remember something like Karnow? Old school gamer?

RE7 continues to be terrifying in 2025.

Jack stalking you in the beginning is near crippling. I really hope it comes to PSVR2 someday.

 

[SilentUser]

The game features a platinum for those who cares:

Just tried RE8. Fantastic use of VR.

Game doesn't stop getting better and better until at least 8 hours in, and even then it barely drops.

Sorry, man! Can't help, link wont open here. Searched for the two bundles of the game in the Brazilian store and couldn't find it, only found one (which I have).

If you look theres two bundles named different with the two games (one without book in it). In US the price is the same but in the european store they priced them different

Anyone tried Arken yet. Any impressions.

I'm about to jump in.

I think it's a given that the game is a VR GOTY contender, but I will definitely share impressions.

I bought the games individually and it indicates I've purchased both bundles so It's safe to assume they are one and the same.

Both bundles have the same sale price in the US store.

That's really bizarre. I have no idea why it's listed twice with different boxart, lol.

It's looks like they are on PS+ Premium though. Definitely worth a month subscription if you're on the fence with buying them blind. They really are fantastic games though, in case you've never played.

Something with graphics/setting that not convince me but probably buy it just to support quality games on psvr2

That's so weird! For what's worth it, I have the second bundle, the one with the work "book" on it. Marvelous games!

It's great. Really impressive across the board.

I almost regret playing the studios two prior titles on PSVR so recently because I'm a bit burned out on the gameplay loop, lol. Nothing against the game, I just know what I'm in store for, I'll probably put it down and finish some other games first.

The gameplay loop is great, meaty areas to explore with a TON of loot and other things to collect. This studio is really good at making you want to explore the levels thoroughly because there is always something to find and the game is constantly rewarding you. The combat is solid, swordfighting and gun combat. You can use your pick-axes to climb on anything wood. Robust upgrade/crafting system, locked 90 is buttery smooth and the resolution is fantastic. Great OST and voice acting. This game is the real deal, in a perfect world it would turn the heads of flat gamers. This studio is one to watch, all their games have been solid and the level of improvement between each game is incredibly impressive.

Thanks for the great impressions. Will pick up at some point when I’ve cleared my back catalogue.

I almost bought it yesterday, then remembered I still have 10 games in my backlog, including Metro and Alien.

The game looks fantastic tho!

 

[Evolved1]

Man, I’ve been super sick for a bit… VR is basically impossible to use (at least for me, but admittedly I’m a bit of a little bitch when sick) I bought a bunch of games during that sale been waiting to try. Can finally breathe again / play again.

 

[fart town usa]

This is from the developers of Snow Scout, I haven't played that yet but it looks fun and people speak highly of it.

Reminds me of Coolboarders 2 but with skis. Releases next week, $14.99.

Yeah. I’m not buying any more games until I clear my backlog. I bought a ton of games during the sale so have more than enough games to last me months. The good news is when I eventually do pick up these games they will be fully patched and hopefully on sale.

Quick Arken Age clip.



This is a really good game. It's just comfy as hell. Lots of small QOL things that make it so you aren't fighting against the game.

Never ceases to amaze me though how much is lost looking at videos of a VR game on a monitor. It just looks so basic - almost PS2-PS3 generation, something pre-Crysis, but I know in the game itself it's a whole different story!

 

[N30RYU]

Got my PSVR2 a week ago... along with RE4R, RE Village, Moss 1 & 2, Mare, Paper Creature, Red Matter 1 & 2, an Horizon CotM... already owned GT7, No Man's Sky...

It's a shame games I owned for PSVR doesn't work... like Skyrim VR, RE7, Astro Bot Rescue Mission or SW Squadrons...

Avoid Phasmaphobia like the plague. Gotta be the worst VR game I've ever played. The technical state is truly an embarrassment.

The game is among my favorite PSVR2 titles easily! I can't recommend the game enough if you have friends to play with, as it is massively fun to play with friends. I'm eager to play a lot more (I'm in a group of 4 friends that play together, but one can't play for a few more days ). And while it is technically flawed, I never really had any big issue. Closing and opening doors needs to be improved, however

Totally agree with that mindset.

(I bought the game)
