    It's all a little rote - something we certainly don't associate with Final Fantasy. [Issue#315, p.120]

    There was so much to hope for from Monster of the Deep: its shimmering universe is pretty amazing once equipped with the PlayStation VR, and the game offers a beautiful walk in the land of Eos. Unfortunately, Square Enix's first virtual reality game misses the spot by falling short on ideas: the game repeats the same mechanics from start to bottom. Still, the idea of defeating a gigantic boss using a crossbow before shoeing him offers some satisfaction from time to time, but the adventure itself looks more like a storm in a teacup.

    Monsters of the Deep is a beautiful tragedy in terms of a VR experience. The visuals are stunning and it could have been a great fishing simulation, but ends up being lazy and broken. A fishing VR game is a good idea and the controls may be better with the motion controls, but trying to fish is a hassle even when a sense of consistency is established.

    The fact that a Final Fantasy game has a VR game is absolutely mindblowing. Although this game can be considered a mini-fishing game, it wasThe fact that a Final Fantasy game has a VR game is absolutely mindblowing. Although this game can be considered a mini-fishing game, it was still fun nonetheless. Meeting the characters in VR was awesome, and although some people consider fishing a boring task in the main game, it was honestly the most fun. And now that this game was made, and the fishes being described as "monsters", it's actually a really good addition. You can just play it for fun, and to take off some time.… Full Review »
