    The recurring theme here is substance. On paper, creating a wave-based shooter doesn’t sound all that inventive or ambitious, yet Raw Data is just that. In a bid to capitalise on the VR gold rush, we’ve seen plenty of smaller, lacklustre shooting galleries, but Survios effortlessly puts them all to shame.

    Challenging, immersive and very fun, Raw Data is a great VR experience, although the lack of multiplayer modes on PS4 is a noticeable shortcoming.

    Raw Data offers more than your usual shooting gallery VR game. The ability to move around makes the game feel far more substantial, with the four different characters and their abilities offering plenty of gameplay nuance. The lack of enemy and location variety is a shame, as are the technical limitations brought on by the hardware but if you're a fan of shooting stuff in VR then it's definitely worth checking out.

    When you take a step back and look at what Raw Data is attempting to accomplish on the PSVR, it’s remarkable what they were able to pull off. Better yet, it’s one of the few VR experiences that I’ve played that feel like they’ve graduated from extended tech demo to a fully formed gaming experience. Unfortunately, while the ambition is certainly there, it feels like the hardware is once again preventing a standout title from achieving its potential greatness.

    In spite of a lack of different enemies and occasionally unreliable motion controls, Raw Data nonetheless stands as one of the more intuitive and satisfying shooters available on PSVR.

    first of all ，i got platinum trophy ,so i think i have right to give a comment .
    the game is the worst psvr game that i have played ever    first of all ，i got platinum trophy ,so i think i have right to give a comment .
    the game is the worst psvr game that i have played ever
    1.the resolution is very low ，and i can't see the details.(I play with ps4 pro)
    2sometimes the robots are not walking ,they are sliding ,their legs and feet are not moving at all ,especially in nightmare
    3 almost every time when i play "soul decrypt", the game crashing （his company said it solved one year ago ，but it is liar ，because now it crashes more than 50 percent ）！！especially in nightmare mode
    4 when game crashing， my files of saving damaged，i have to play it from the starting (yes ,from starting ! every hero without any skils).
    i need play it about 12 hours to get platinum without so many bugs ,but thanks to the bugs i have to play 40 hours to get it !!!    … Full Review »

    very fun and enjoyable
    very well designed characters with cool abilities
    Cool open hub area
    massive enemy variation
    Cons-
    Very buggy
    Low resolution
    Crashes can even cause save corrupts
    Overpriced definitely not worth 50$
    very bland levels ( most levels are reused but with different collectibles dialog and enemy's)
    Boring collectibles I don't want to listen to a whole life story while fighting enemy's
    Very bad psvr port devs even admitted that it sucks
    boring ost
    Conclusion
    on the outside its good but once you play you'll see just how bad this game actually is    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Raw Data is a great game, and is the first VR-Only game I have played. The pacing of the action was done fabulously, with an opportunity to take breaks between waves being great for people new to the more action-packed side of VR, while still giving you the option to skip the break entirely. The story is ok, but seems to take a bit too much inspiration from the Will Smith film "I, Robot" if you ask me (a great film btw). The class system is a nice addition, and the weapon progression helps as you get further through the levels. The only glitch I have found so far is that the "Crawlers" seem to occasionally get stuck on your body, usually behind you, making it hard to shoot them. Overall, I would say this is a great game with amazing graphics and a great story (despite the story seeming so derivative).… Full Review »
