    First off, if you're not getting this with the bundle, wait for it to drop in price. It's kind of like a large demo disc.

It is however, what I have everyone try first when they do try my VR and everyone seems to agree that's a good first trial of the VR.

    The London heist game has been enjoyable, but the controls can be a bit annoying at times when you are trying to pick stuff up. I have not finished it yet.

    The VR luge game is just meh.

    The Danger ball game is kind of fun for what it is...think pong in VR...with better visuals.

    Scavengers Odyssey seems is cool...but I have yet to finish that one as it makes me a little nauseous when I play more than 10-15 minutes.    … Expand

    Worlds is composed of 5 mini experienced/games. "Luge" is totally forgettable and "Ocean Descent" is basically an underwater experience that is fun, but only once. So what you're left with are three actual mini games.
    Dangerball: An excellent VR take on pong. Use your head to hit the ball back and try and get it past the other player. Often underrated, this game has hours of play in it.

    Dangerball: An excellent VR take on pong. Use your head to hit the ball back and try and get it past the other player. Often underrated, this game has hours of play in it. In the end it's just pong with style, but in my opinion this is well worth playing.
    Scavenger's Odyssey: first person shooter. I've not spent much time with this game as yet.
    The London Heist: Of all the VR experiences, this one is the one that reaches the highest highs. Whilst shortlived (you can finish the story mode in around 20 minutes) you'll definitely want to have a few more goes to really soak in the ambiance and skillfully orchestrated scenes of TLH. The attention to detail is spectacular and there are so many wow moments, such as when while smoking the cigar you exhale and see smoke coming from your mouth! Once you're sick of the story you can spend a long time in the shooting range levels and try to get a high score in the world wide leaderboard.
    Worlds is not overly long, with the only long term play options being Dangerball and The London Heist's shooting range. However given the relatively low price of entrance this is a game that all launch PSVR players should play.    … Expand

    This is a good starter game for VR because it shows you what works and what doesn't. There are 5 mini games but some are certainly better than others.

I will give a brief summary of each but first I need to say how good the home screen is. I wont spoil why, but the interactive nature of the home screen is actually really good! From best to worst:

    The London Heist - The ability to interact and play with almost everything in the environment is just a lot of fun. The gameplay can be a quite tricky and a little buggy, but it does look and feel real and is enjoyable throughout.

    Danger Ball - My impression is that this is very much overlooked. Sure it is basically 3D Pong but its great fun and really challenging! It is a simple, fun and immersive mini game.

    Ocean Descent - This solely focuses on the immersion and its very good at it. I'd just jump straight to the shark encounter one though.

    Scavengers Odyssey - This does show that free movement doesn't work too well. This may have been a side effect of a larger issue, the graphics are just a bit blurry. Even standing still looking at what should be epic scenery felt underwhelming.

    VR Luge - A simple concept but everything is just too fast and blurry. It just doesn't really work.

    A good introduction showing the variety of VR but if you are looking for a fun set of mini games to introduce VR (like what Wii Sports was to the Wii), I'd recommend the free Playroom VR instead.    … Expand

    This is great showcase of PSVR capabilities. Mini games look very well on PS4 Pro. Check it out !

    Cheap, quick fun and great intro to VR for yourself and friends.

London Heist has the best hands models that i've seen and the interactions with the gangs are intimidating and fun, but it could have been better if the characters were more responsive to your actions and the aiming was better. Two levels in and i feel like i have already gotten my moneys worth compared to other VR titles i've tried. On VR, i want to experience VR and the sort of gameplay that i couldn't experience else where and this does just that. If the levels were not so shallow, this would have gotten an 8 or 9 easily.… Expand

    A sort of demos and experiences to feel VR. Diving section and London Heist are impressive, with nice graphics and a total immersion experience. The others are poor experiences specially VR Luge with its very low resolution.

    LUGE causes great dizziness and is a quite boring time-attack racing game.
    Scavenger causes greater dizziness and is only interesting for the first couple of minutes. The combat, enemies and mission design is poor but fortunately very short.

    One more thing, the platinum is super hard to get with so many extremely hard challenge.    … Expand

    Should have come free with the unit, in my opinion. The games are pretty well made, but with little depth to them... They largely rely on gimmicks rather than being intuitive, which is surprising considering it is the first-party showcase.

    Don't get me wrong, VR is brilliant. But it's sad that third-party developers seem to be finding the niche both faster and cheaper than Sony themselves.

    I'll do this a title at a time:

    London Heist: Easily the best game on the disc. The story actually took me a few times to complete all the way. I kept getting killed in parts and it took me a few tries to get it down. You then have the shooting range after that you can practice on. You can even get ranked against others across the globe. The game was fun, though short. I didn't    I'll do this a title at a time:

    London Heist:
    Easily the best game on the disc. The story actually took me a few times to complete all the way. I kept getting killed in parts and it took me a few tries to get it down. You then have the shooting range after that you can practice on. You can even get ranked against others across the globe. The game was fun, though short. I didn't even mind being on rails for this one, and I usually hate that.

    Scavengers Odyssey:
    This one was pretty fun and it left me wanting more. The controls were pretty good and piloting the mech was nice. The environment was great. Be prepared though. This one was nausea inducing for me. I closed my eyes during the transition jumps from area to area.

    Ocean Descent:
    It was a good showcase of what VR could bring. Being able to go down and look into the ocean as you descend was pretty neat. Being able to go on different dives would have been nice. The story descent was fun and is a good experience to set someone on that doesn't know what is awaiting them at the bottom.

    VR Luge:
    It was aweful. Lots of clipping into the luge and the controls weren't all that great. I don't know if it was a tracking issue or something in the game itself but it seemed as though the luge either didn't want to turn or it would turn wildly. There seemed to be no in between. I completed 2 courses and that was it. I had no motivation to do any more.

    Danger Ball:
    This one was kind of entertaining. The game tracks your head movement to move your paddle and you play essentially VR pong. The enemies have different abilities that can cause the ball to do different things, which adds to the difficulty of the game. They're also never in the same order play through to play through. I only ended up getting to the 5th opponent. This would probably be even more fun online against someone else.

    Overall it's a decent showcase of the VR play and world. It is more of a demo disc than anything though. If you can pick it up for around 10 - 15$, do it.    … Expand

    Essential for the PSVR because, well it is free now with the PSVR and it is also a great introduction into the world of VR.

    5 varied games with something for everyone.

    London heist being the best but sadly too short.

    PlayStation VR Worlds is a decent collection of demos that you probably want to own as they’re an excellent way to show off VR. It’s such a pity that these experiences, as much potential as they show, are too brief to be worthwhile.
