    As a graphical showcase there’s nothing better on PlayStation VR, but in terms of gameplay there are far more entertaining tech demos available – let alone proper games.

Besides that, this game is amazing. When you scan the things you can go in the touchpad screen and look at them in a 3D environment... it's beautiful.… Full Review »

    I am so infuriated with this game. There are game breaking glitches that prevent you from progressing and any game that causes me to restartI am so infuriated with this game. There are game breaking glitches that prevent you from progressing and any game that causes me to restart gets major points taken off. I now have to start it over a THIRD time after I found out the game never registered one of the key items I scanned. It let me go on and explore two other areas completely before I found out I was unable to progress, and because of the fact that this game moves SO SLOWLY, I'm even less inclined to start over again!

    Do not be seduced by the absolutely gorgeous visuals. This game is uneventful, uninspired and boring. Every piece of gameplay has been done by other games, and far better as well. Really disappointed.    … Full Review »

    So i made an account specifically so i could review this game. Ive never been moved to write a review on this site before even though i use itSo i made an account specifically so i could review this game. Ive never been moved to write a review on this site before even though i use it quite frequently to get an accurate picture of a video game's quality before i buy since games these days cost a pretty penny. So im hear to add my score to the user reviews in order to more accureately reflect Robinson The Journey. Paying 80 dollars for this game amounts to actual theft. I've owned a PSVR system for a couple weeks now and through all the variety of games that are on offer i've become pretty familiar with it and feel pretty confident in my abilities in the VR world. Robinson They Journey, however, has decided that its customers need their hand held the entire length of the experience. Theres not one moment where you dont actually feel like youre being treated like a small child who is learning everything for the first time: Robin walks too slow, the in-game activities are trivial. The game could have been made into some kind of guided dinosaur tour and probably would have been more effective. So maybe if this is your first VR game then it might work... however with much better and cheaper games available, that most likely wont be the case. Also i've never seen a VR game where your character's hands are -fixed in one position- and not synced with controller movement... that was a huge mistake that works against the immersion that Crytek so very much advertised. Its clear the the developers spent way too much time focused on graphics (which trully arent more impressive than some of the other, simpler polygon stuff we're seeing in other games) than actual game design / gameplay! I've gotten more enjoyment out of some games that cause less than half the price such as: Windlands, Super Hyper Cube, Danger Ball, Thumper, Eagle Flight. So please, fellow User, do yourself a favour and save your 80 dollars for several other games that offer so much more.… Full Review »
