    I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The graphics while good, were also held back by texture pop-ins and a bad draw distance. Up close though the dinosaurs really shine. The campaign only took about 5-6 hours, which is short but u can buy it used for about 30$ at Gamestop and trade it back in a few days later for over half of what you paid. SO it was well worth it to me. My kids were in AweI thoroughly enjoyed this game. The graphics while good, were also held back by texture pop-ins and a bad draw distance.

SO it was well worth it to me. My kids were in Awe watching me play. It definitely does a good job of immersing you. I had no motion sickness at all. The puzzles were easy. The final 45 minutes were pretty intense. Theres not much indication on where to go but all you have to do is explore and youll easily find your objectives as it does tell you your objectives. Character does move a little slow and i wish there was more for the pet dino to do. I wouldnt have minded some actual cutscenes and some more interactions with the dinosaurs as they are the stars here but overall a solid game. I hope they make a sequel and improve upon its mistakes.… Expand

    Many games for PS VR are passed off as such and instead are Demos or style exercises. Even in this case I do not feel like I can talk about a whole game. Very nice and immersive, some smudging of gameplay in some interactions, when it starts to become interesting ends. Crytek does quality things however in general and at the plot level we are far from triple A game.

    Robinson: The Journey is a VR story driven adventure that I really wanted to like but it ultimately had to many problems. Game breaking bugs made me walk away from this on.

    I had really big hopes for this but i dont think its worth the price. The game is a beauty but gameplay is not that fun. the in-game activities are trivial. It makes me feel like im 5 year old. The controls are not that well and robin walk way to slow. So much potential but the game isnt that fun. I really wanted to like it because i love dinosaurs but sadly it didnt lived up to my expetations.

    It's a fun game, definitely. The visuals are great and the scale is fun to see. However, I was sweating about 20 minutes into it and had to take frequent breaks to avoid throwing up. Seriously, it's the only reason this isn't rated a 9 or 10 from me.

    The sick feeling comes into play I THINK because of the way the camera and controls work. You can look to your left and right, all the way around you even. However, you can also use the right thumbstick to turn. This turning mechanism has two settings; fluid and pie chart. Fluid actually is the worse of the two, as your actions with your head plus the spinning makes it nauseating. Pie Chart is basically quick instant turns in 30 or so degree angles if you tap left or right on the right thumbstick. Pie Chart will make you less sick, but still feel extremely awkward.

    I think this is worth the buy if you have the money. 40 dollars is a lot to some but a night out to another. It's worth it for the wow factor IMO.    … Expand

    Ultimately I felt crytek should have at least given the option to remove some of the puzzle gameplay / climbing mechanics to be just a calm, vr walking siimulator but the gamification here is blatant and full of bloated filler and so taints the experience I had. At full asking price I'd say its not worth it but at a discount i'm sure you would get something from this experience!    … Expand

    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.
