    Ok..It looks good and some of the VR gaming sequences are good fun...However, to get to the gaming you'll have to suffer endless and boring cutscenes from a B-movie you will want to skip...but can't. Also the movement is awkward and causes slight motion sickness for me. Resident Evil does this far better. I really wanted to like this, but the endless cut scenes ruins it for me.

    This game is mostly dull cinemas and picking locks. Needs more action. Reloading and holstering guns is glitchy. Yes, this game has it's moments but they are few and far between.

    Fun/immersion, 8: Combat is exhilarating when it works; cutscenes are movie-like, very immersive.

    Overall, Blood & Truth is a solid, well polished PSVR game despite a few combat issues. I recommend the game to all PSVR owners including those who get motion sickness easily. It's not a system seller by itself, but along with Astrobots and Firewall, it makes the PSVR impossible to ignore.    … Expand

    The most fun and immersive VR experience I've played to date! And after the main story is completed there's a lot of replay-ability with challenges, collectibles and more. I felt like John Wick playing this, doing trick shots and dodging bullets. So good.

    easily the most impressive native VR title ever made. Going to face fierce competition from other games like Stormland, but still an amazing feat. This is VR: you are there, you're the star of an action flick, your fate is in your hands

    Blood And Truth is a very exciting, fun and polished experience to be had on the PSVR.

    It does very few things to change up the VR scene but what it does, it does very well. (Most of the time.)

    The shooting is extremely satisfying, although aiming with sights seems a bit off at the moment. As if you need to aim slightly higher than you’d think you would. There’s larger weapons, that require you to use your second hand to hold down for Increased accuracy, or, in the case of the pump shotgun, to reload, by pulling back the reload chamber with your second hand to put in your next shell. It feels great when this all works, but there’s a real disconnect between you and the gun when using two move controllers to hold a two handed weapons. Unlike the aim controller, which is built for it. Reloading manually is awesome as well, although I wish the ability to manually eject the current magazine before you reload was a feature like it was in the developers “London Heist” game. Right now, you can reload another clip into a gun that’s already loaded, or the gun automatically ejects it’s mag when your clip is empty. Not a big deal, but something I wished to see.

    There’s a story to be had here too. It’s intentionally cliche, putting you through all the beats you would see in any action movie, unapologetically so. But this doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing because we’ve seen it all before, because you haven’t seen it in VR. Jumping through windows, highway car shootouts, explosions and helicopters. It’s all so exhilarating when you’re there. Definitely not something you could experience any other way. It’s important to note that this isn’t a game that utilizes free movement, or full locomotion. This game uses a “node” like system, where you face and tap a button to move in a direction of pre-designated areas. This was definitely a choice that helps the game. As I don’t see any other way you could get this tight of an experience with free movement.

    Going forward from here, I think the company should focus more on exploring the things you can do in VR. Since this title was in development for so long, a lot of its features have been done before, to mostly better results. The difference being, B&T brings all these features together better than the other VR titles, where they only really have one polished aspect in a pile of mediocrity. Such as great gunplay, and little to no story, or vice versa. It’s a definite recommend from me.    … Expand

    Unfortunately got to toss my hat in the negative here. After 60-90 minutes, I would return the game if I could. It is very on rails, and VR has moved beyond this... gaming is beyond this.

It is very on rails, and VR has moved beyond this... gaming is beyond this. Reaching out and pressing an elevator button or twisting a door knob is not a gameplay mechanic. It is a gimmick, and this game has a lot of them. Blood and Truth may have impressed as a launch title (like London Heist), but years into VR this point and click approach feels dated. There’s a part where you walk in on a gangster you’re trying to apprehend, and someone tells you over the radio “we need him alive!” so I shoot the guy three times in the leg and then it says “mission failed: you killed jimmy.” No! I stopped him from running! Once the game reloaded, I could now see that they intended for this to be a long, on rails chase sequence. My solution was more logical than what the game had in mind. This doesn’t work in VR because they’re asking you to be stupid in first person. People make dumb decisions in horror movies, and it’s ok because they’re not us. When you have to be the one in the game doing the thing you wouldn’t normally do, it creates an uncanny valley that’s alienating.

    With that venom spewed, I will still compliment the developers on making a game that seems competent and successful at what it sets out to do. They went all in on this concept and it feels very polished. If you are interested in a VR time crisis, light gun shooter , with a lot more interaction, this is an epic version of that. I will finish the game, and if my opinion improves I will update this review. But I wanted to get this out here for anyone on the fence so you can see it’s not the 10/10 VR defining experience some reviews make it out to be.    … Expand

    If you enjoyed playing through the VR worlds london heist and wished it could be longer then then you will definitely enjoy Blood & Truth. Making improvements on the gameplay systems established in the london heist, B&T tightens the experience making great improvements. B&T is an incredibly fun 'on rails' shooting experience harking back to the days of virtua cop, time crisis, house of the dead and mixes it with well produced cut scenes in 'lock stock and two smoking barrels' flavour. Its a short experience 5 hours or so, but a memorable one.

    However it is not the perfect experience some reviews would have you believe (usual PSVR + move controller tracking issues aside), I encountered 3 game breaking crashes on the latest update and the physics glitch around on occasion (mostly when throwing the many interactive objects you find lying around). As an 'on rails' game I can see that the teleport system is integral to the gameplay but I felt using this took me out of the immersion of the story. If you can forgive these minor flaws and accept the arcade nature of what is here Blood & Truth really is an incredible experience. Cannot wait to see what these guys can do with PS5 hardware!    … Expand

    The downside in my opinion is related to the calibration. It was never clear to me where the camera should really be. The game gave me an "ok" as I was in the middle of the screen as it was suggested, but in some areas I had to hold a gun with two hands and one light was getting in front of the other (move controllers). This also affected the sniper rifle, unfortunately. Maybe putting the camera above the TV could help, it was just not clear to me if I should do it.

    The graphics are good, but backgrounds look like giant JPG's sometimes...I guess there's not much to do about it currently.

    I do hope this game sells good, because I want a sequel on the PS5.    … Expand

    While there’s an inherent fumbliness to Blood & Truth – I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve dropped a grenade under my own ass, my friend – it’s a game that wants you to feel and look cool. When you’re in the zone, it’s the closest to playable John Wick as we’re likely going to get – that is if John Wick liked flipping people off and collecting vape bottles. If you’ve got PSVR, this is the game to show the tech off to all your pals.
