    Graphics and sound interaction are interesting and after a little bit I got into the game.

    However, area 5 of the normal game is poorly designed. There's an easy section that takes about 5 minutes and is interesting the first time you go through it and then a boss fight split into multiple stages. Unfortunately you have to waste your time going through the easy section again to get to the boss fight if you fail any of the 4+ stages of it, which made it feel like unnecessary grind.

    Area X is an enjoyable short additional piece to the game.

    Reasonably enjoyable, but no replay value from my personal point of view (although I appreciate lots of others would disagree).    … Expand

    I can not understand how someone would rate REZ with anything above a 3. The game is boring and all you do is lock on targets and let go of a button. Visually there is not much to like unless you enjoy wire-frame. This is one of the worst games for PSVR. Try the DEMO, see how bad it is, and ignore the bias reviews.

    I had to create account just to review this game. I bought Rez Infinite as it has got so many good reviews. How disappointed I was! Basically all you have to do is to lock the target and shoot. The game mechanics are straight from 80's C64-games.

    Avoid this piece of turd.

    I have to be honest... I never understand the love. The music and graphics were great, but the gameplay is just mediocre (although to be fair very few "art games" have good gameplay, the focus is always in the artstyle). You have to lock on on the targets instead of actual shooting, and the controls for doing this feels so clunky, and you dont even had to follow the rythm to win, just beI have to be honest... I never understand the love. The music and graphics were great, but the gameplay is just mediocre (although to be fair very few "art games" have good gameplay, the focus is always in the artstyle). You have to lock on on the targets instead of actual shooting, and the controls for doing this feels so clunky, and you dont even had to follow the rythm to win, just be quick to alternate between lock on and release the button or mashing it like crazy. In boss battles this is even worse because sometimes you can get shoot by behind and thats cheap. Is like they combined a 2d rail shooter using the 3d enviroment to the actual gameplay and it doesnt feel well. Also later stages doesnt introduces new mechanics and feels repetitive, along with the story, that haved potential to be interesting, but just ends.
    The game also have so much lack of content to be so expensive (on PS4 at least). Sure, you have a lot of game modes, but some of them are just the same as the adventure, just with a score or slighty changes. Also, no coop multiplayer? Thats a shame for an arcade style game.
    On dreamcast i can forgive all of its flaws maybe, because is more like a novelty/experimental game on a very old hardware, but the other newer ports is the same thing, just with better graphics.
    I also was hopping that Area X saved the game because all people said that was the best part and it feels unique and a masterpiece... But i wasnt so impressed. Sure, the visuals were excellent, but the mode took like 10 minutes and the gameplay i think is even worse because you can move it, but the mechanics are still the same, it doesnt feel like a well translation to 3d. Also, is very easy to hit invisible walls and much more when you going backwards. There´s no clearly indication of the game limits. I prefer much more the normal game mode, because at least you dont have to move a character.
    Oh, and something i forget to said is that you cant change the crosshair sensibility, it would help A LOT.
    So.... yeah... Rez Infinite... not that great. It could be okay, but it ends being pretty bad. Even the graphics that are one of the highlight of the game werent that great either because the draw distance is very low and all of the objects are low poly basic forms that looks like if it was the first 3d game ever made.
    If i was reviewing this game for the PS2 or the Sega Dreamcast i could give it a 5/10. But Rez for the PS4 gets 4/10!
    Well, at least is better than Journey just because there´s actual gameplay.    … Expand

    Played it for 20 minutes. I don't see much value in the game. It looks like a space invaders , just moving across this virtual space while you aim and destroy the enemies.

    What really impresses me about Rez Infinite, though, is that its immersive cacophony of light and music often manages to pull me out of the physical realm so completely that I find myself forgetting meatspace even exists. That’s what VR is all about, really. Losing yourself in another world.

    Interactions between visual effects, electronic soundtrack and player’s attacks are almost narcotic when you play Rez Infinite using PS VR. [13/2016, p.77]

    Rez Infinite is 15 years old, and the best VR game of 2016. [Christmas 2016, p.116]
