One thing I’ve seen a lot of on PSVR are wave-based games. Most of them are shooters, but the concept remains the same across them: survive through waves of enemies and fight a boss every few levels or so. It’s a good fit for VR because you’re often in one place and constantly engaging with everything coming at you.

The Room (not the Tommy Wiseau movie) is a series of escape the room puzzle games that has usually been on either PC or mobile devices. I myself have the first three entries on my Android. A combination of mysterious environments, clever puzzles, and moody atmosphere has given the series a high pedigree among gamers (myself included).

One thing I love about PSVR is how it’s pushing developers to try new experiences that are only possible with the Move controllers and a VR headset to truly immerse you in the moment. It’s for this reason that FREEDIVER: Triton Down immediately caught my eye. Diving in VR? Absolutely, that sounds awesome!

The expectations for PSVR games have changed dramatically since launch. Back then, a short, relatively complete experience, was great. As time went on, more complete titles with longer runtimes and better immersion proved that you could do a lot more in VR that anyone realized in the beginning.

Virtual reality is one of the most amazing technologies I’ve encountered as a gamer. With the onset of PlayStation VR, I have been taken to incredible worlds and experienced things I didn’t know were possible in a video game. Some may say VR is a fad, but for me, it’s incredible.
