    You can hardly call PlayStation VR Worlds a complete game. It is much like a collection of five tech demos, but they are expansive and only one or two of them might be worth your time.

    Not only is PlayStation VR Worlds playing it safe, it is not selling virtual reality in a strong enough way. It’s easy to show off the technology with a space-piloting game and first-person shooter, but what these tidbits of games fail to do is entertain players in the long run. They make it seem as though virtual reality is a novelty with absolutely no depth to it, which isn’t the case at all.

    VR Worlds is nothing more than an assemble of tech demos, some more efficient than others. While this could've been acceptable had the game been included for free in the VR package, the tag price makes us suggest to avoid it at all costs.

    Boring at best, sickness-inducing at worst.

    For all intents and purposes, it is PSVR’s official demo – Sony just wants to ensure it makes some extra money off the thing. Not exactly a great look, kicking PSVR off with something so nakedly cynical, but that’s business for you...Worlds includes five games, barely any of which are worth playing more than once, and only one of which I genuinely enjoyed

    Is it perfect? No. But it is essential, and is currently the best polished, most varied, and easiest entry point for the uninitiated.

    Once again, enthusiast media and "hardcore" gamers completely miss the point. VR Worlds, along with the free download 'Playroom VR', is an essential PSVR title. This collection of experiences is the easiest entry point for VR, starting with 'Ocean Descent', a visor-only descent to the ocean floor that at once allows players to acclimate and be amazed to the power of VR immersion. Danger Ball is essentially VR Pong, also visor-only, and allows players to try out 'gaze' style gameplay like that featured in Rez and Rigs.

    London Heist is an incredible piece, showing of mature action themes and showing off the Move technology in a virtual 3D space. Certainly the most "game-ass game" of the lot, it also allows people to see their threshold for more intense and stressful scenarios like Until Dawn and the upcoming RE7, and even Batman VR which, while not action-oriented, is very intense by being in close proximity of not so nice human characters. Maybe it will turn players on to more adventure style games like the Assembly and Loading Human, or Shooting Galleries like Brookhaven and Ace Banana.

    Scavenger Odyssey is the most motion based game, and will definitely test you ability to handle locomotion as seen in games like Rigs, Battlezone, and EVE Valkyrie. It is intense, but for those who can handle it, again, shows off a lot of potential and can guide your interests in the future.

    I haven't played Street Luge.

    Basically, for anyone who wants to try PSVR, THIS is the game. You will likely play through it once and get an idea for what you WANT and what you can TOLERATE in VR, but will break it out every time someone else wants to see what VR is all about, and then go from there. This and Playroom VR are the Wii Sports" for VR, so I feel that rating this anything less than a 10 (essential, not perfect) is short-sighted and irresponsible.    … Full Review »

The presentation on this thing is GORGEOUS, so let's not overlook that for the lack of games available. The Ocean Dive is probably one of the coolest experiences you have on this disc, absolute immersion with the earbuds and does created a great escape. The Luge VR is pretty cool as well but the graphics do tend to look a bit choppy, to be expected with first-gen VR hardware. These are my favorites but the rest of the titles are all on the brink of just being demos with really cool features.… Full Review »

You don't get much out of this that is for sure. it does give a few cool elements of what to expect in VR but the price.... maybe hope for some free DLC for this to make up for it but don't get your hopes up.… Full Review »
