Dear god, someone bring us some tissues, we're getting tears on the VR headset.įor goodness sake, grab yourself the Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration right now.ĭescribed as a "rhythm violence game", Thumper is one of the best PS VR games we've tested so far. But more importantly, it's also stunning to play and works incredibly well in VR.Īnd if you've got any nostalgia for the Tomb Raider series whatsoever, you will - like us - feel very emotional at the DLC's closing scene. There are puzzles to solve, documents and relics to discover, family mysteries to tie up and even a mystery to uncover.
If you buy the newly released Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebrationbundle, you'll nab yourself the brand new Blood Ties story DLC that sees Lara fighting for ownership of Croft Manor itself with her rather mean and greedy uncle.Īlthough you can play through this little side-story in the traditional third-person view, Square Enix has also introduced a very special VR mode for the PlayStation VR, which lets you explore Croft Manor in an attempt to find proof that it belongs rightfully to Lara. And with each area being quite a lengthy affair, it can be very frustrating when you've got the boss down to 1cm of health and it catches you off guard. In fact, the only bad thing we have to say about it is that when you die – which consists of you reverting to a ball-like state and then disappearing altogether – you have to go back to the very start of the area. It's simple enough, but when you combine the hypnotic trance music, mutating colours and geometric shapes, and the whole thing being in VR, it's a very powerful experience. You can play so all you have to do is move your head to target foes and hold down X to chain together targeted attacks. If you're not familiar with Rez: Infinite it's what they're calling the ultimate form of Rez, where you control a digital woman who flies through computer systems analysing and destroying anything that tries to stop her. Not only does the creator say this is his dream come true, but it's also evident from the way you drift through each lovely moment with the colours exploding and pulsating around your head. This is the way Rez is meant to be played.
