    Amazing light hearted sports-themed game for VR. Some activities are better than others, with Paintball and Laser tag just offering endless amounts of fun. I'm not choosing that word randomly - the game really offers incredible amounts of long term replay value. I play this on PC as well, and your progress carries over between platforms. As early VR titles go, this one is a gem. OnlyAmazing light hearted sports-themed game for VR.

    The game is something that has been tried and tried again, the most memorable and yet so easily forgettable was Playstation Home which tried to be the place to meet your virtual friends and hang out and it failed.

    With this you have your own private space and then the Rec Room where you can throw some hoops or darts or even a frisbee. Then from the Rec Room you have a door to some amazing games my personal favourite is Laser Tag but there are many to choose from inc,
    Paintball
    Racquetball
    Dodgeball
    Disc Golf
    Charades

    They also have quests which is a super cool idea. you go into a game with a sword or a bow and arrow or even a wand that shoots fireworks and fight the monsters working your way through to win the quest.

    You can even make your own rooms, i went to a "Beatles" concert which was hilarious some lads made a room with a stage dressed as the beatles and played music, but there are open mic nights for stand up or singing.

    The one thing i think would make this game stand out above all else would be to create your own quests but in truth thats me just wanting to make a harry potter quest......

    You can also make yourself look how you want and win different clothes and accessories.

    In short this game is great and shows just what the PSVR can do, although this is a cross platform most people are on the PSVR as it seems to be the most accessible and cost effective VR.    … Expand

    I have been eyeing this game for a while and now that I finally got a ps4 I can safely say the game is good. there is plenty of game modes, little to no kids and lots of fun little extras. the graphics may be simple but the game is addicting. definitely, pick it up its free.

    Brilliant work, has to be one of the best examples of how VR will change gaming in the future.
    Well done to the developers of this gem.

    Based on the closed beta play: One of the bests games for PSVR. Simple wii-style graphics, but lots of fun! Paintball, quest and lasertag are the most fun games.

    This game is a joke, developers ban you for no real reason just taking account false report from users, this is clearly unacceptable and i don't recommend this game at all. I wish them to change their moderation system if they wish to keep people playing their games because without checking information it clearly show how unserious they are.

    this is the wii sports of psvr, a must play experience with endless stuff to do.

    Pros - free even if you dont have ps plus you can still play online, tons to do, tons of user content to explore

    This is the GREATEST VR experience. It is cross-play with PCVR, which is fantastic. It is weekly adding features and games. To be honest it's incredible at how vast this game has become in such short time. People can create anything their imaginations allow. I can't put into words how fun and outstanding this game is. It's also free, so you have no excuse to experience this.

    Awesome implementation of a social VR game. Love the cartoony, uplifting visuals. Controls are great. Lots of replay value when it comes to social gaming. The downside is the lack of single player content, too many kids playing the game, and some game modes can cause nausea.

    Better on vr and pc, but this game is on my top 3 favorite games list. It is has the greatest community by far. I have made some amazing friends just from this game. When me and my friends can't hangout in real life, we always play this game instead. Sometimes, it is better playing this than socializing irl. And the best part, IT'S F**KING FREE!!!

This game is riddled with bugs glitches and crashes which makes fallout 76 look like a godsend in comparison. These downfalls ruin the fun rec room experience i have with players who aren't spawn camping your or setting their floor hight really high so they can tunnel under the map and pop up to deliver you a free face paint with their fancy duel paint shotguns. Some players use their VR headset to glitch through the wall of a building to escape being shot at and as soon as you turn your back it's off the spawn point with you. there are the teleporters and if there isn't a limit or cool down then any debate you have with them just gets shut down by someone teleporting behind you and before you turn around you've already been given a duel shotgun counter argument. although if you're in a building with no windows and a door that you can't glitch through you're safe right? WRONG because in the game you possess an X-RAY camera so a player can see where you are and put his hand through the wall with his shotgun and give you and your house a custom paint job.

    The quests are just as unplayable as the community games, in goldentrophy you fight these large brutes with axes that have the power to send you to infinitely fall through the map causing you to exit the game because the watch gets so started by the brutes attack it forgets how it works. Speaking of quests for whatever reason they added a friendly fire system which doesn't make much sense because if you're accidentally hit by someone in a hectic round and you're both about to die then bad it's off to the shadow realm, but combining that with the ability to join a game no matter the stage means anyone can join mid game or even boss level, kill you all then leave the game and those two things alone cost me a few end of quest rewards.

    The social aspect comes down to games just filled with kids or teens going around yelling profanities and every type of slur you can think of or some guy blowing down his mic or playing music with it. There is a setting to be paired up with people other than squeakers but even with that option there are a bunch of kids who lied about their age. Mods and admins are not any good either, imagine you joining a serious roleplay server and you're getting into it maybe you are talking to a girl that happens to live in the same area as you and you're hitting it off when all of a sudden some admin joins, makes himself huge and equips a furry costume or an alien costume and starts flying around while spawning random things in. Speaking of females, any girl that joins is constantly harassed or swarmed by other players and will not leave her unless she leaves but those are for players with a female voice and the reason I say this is because there are a lot of guys who dress up as girls..or Bob ross...or john wick.

    The outfits and other clothing items are bland and terrible and there isn't a large selection but even if there was it's locked behind a paywall. If you wear the free items you get ridiculed but if you wear expensive items you also get ridiculed and a lot of E-beggars will ask you to gift them something. Every week there are weekly challenges where you complete certain quests like kill 5 players in a row in paintball (although if you're a screen player you can say goodbye to that dream because you can only hold one gun while VR players can hold two so if one is in your server you can kiss your mortal plane of existence behind) to unlock skins for weapons or the marker pen or the camera.

    A bad attempt at a social game, the game has a lot of bugs and glitches that the developers dont care to fix, the sistems can easily be abused.

Barely gives anything for the comunity to create room with, even with the limitations the comunity still creates awesome things, even though the game is updating regularly, it still feels abandoned, i would not recommend this game for people without VR headsets, and even so the game is still bad. The game has confusing phisics that just affect a few items. The game has potential if the developers start working on the game instead of just changing stuff that already works. The weapons in the game are just pathetic. The game tries to remain kid friendly but the comunity is extremely toxic. The anti-toxic sistems can be abused a lot. Its the only social game in the ps vr, its one of the worse games in the ps store if you dont have a VR headset. The game is just bad… Expand

    Very bad games annoying little kids and worse than roblox ! Why does online always has to be like some cancerous experience?! Game design isn’t bad , reminds me of Nintendo wii . The loading screen in certain games, are beyond annoying and I have a strong laptop that plays GTA 5 without issues.

    Wii sports of vr, really positive player based, one of few free vr games on the market, cross platform. You also don't need a vr headset to play rec room. Lastly you can make your own maps, and post them to the world.

    It’s pretty much one of the must-haves for the PSVR. Although there are some bugs and glitches that might be annoying to some players, it’s highly recommended to get this game if you have a creative mind.
