    I 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,I am so infuriated with this game.

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.    … Expand

    The controls are a nightmare. It's baffling how a developer can be brazzen enough to release such an unfinished product and charge 60 Dollars for it. Absolutely unplayable.

    I tried playing this twice for about 20 minutes each time, nausea and dizziness made me quit both times. And this nausea lasted for a long time after quitting. I have many psvr games, like Batman,but they don't have have the same movement system. For me this game was unplayable,and I'm lucky my GameStop refunded it for me.

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.… Expand

    Graphics are decent for VR but the things in the distance are limited by the tech which makes them blurry and limits its "graphic" rating for me. As some people have already mentioned, it truly makes you feel like they built this game for a toddler.

As some people have already mentioned, it truly makes you feel like they built this game for a toddler. The puzzles are trivial yet at the same time some of the tasks are painstaking due to almost no guidance, you will be constantly saying what the hell am I supposed to do or where am I supposed to go. I believe the movement is by far the worst part. Moving forward is unbelievably slow, I'd compare it to being in crouch mode for other games and this makes travel horribly tedious. Turning your body is insanely fast compared to moving forward which is one of the reasons I believe is the cause of most of the motion sickness issues and there is no way to adjust the speed. This game is quite high up there on the nausea scale. I haven't had any problem with any other game and that could be because most are in fixed position but this one was horrible on my stomach. Even if you have no nausea issues with this game, it still doesn't deserve a high score because it is just too boring. I truly hope this is not what we can expect the typical game for VR to be or it is surely dead before it has even had a chance to begin.… Expand

    This game is my biggest disappointment among the dozen PSVR games I own. Very high price, expected some breathtaking action with dinosaurs, but found a very slow paced puzzle game. Seriously, it is so slow and linear that it becomes quickly boring. Try Windlands instead, and you will be shocked at the difference of pace and locomotion.

    Ok, so MAJOR WARNING, the motion sickness in this game, makes it unplayable, I tried for an hour, and I felt sick and like throwing up for the rest of the afternoon. And apart from that, the game honestly is boring. I wish I could say different, because I really wanted to like it.
    If you experienced any slight motion sickness with any other VR game, trust me, don't buy it.

    In a budget game, the occasional dino delights would be worth a punt – Crytek has crafted a sumptuous world that oozes effortless depth courtesy of PS VR. [February 2016, p78]

    Impressivly atmospheric VR dinosaur experience with great visuals, but with a disappointing amount of content and a story without depth.
