    Very immersive game, puzzles are a little bit simple but seeing as the game puts you in the shoes of a young boy it makes sense.

Seeing the dinos and environment were pretty impressive and up there with the best VR I have personally experienced. No motion sickness for me from the base setup but you can make changes to the movement and that is when i felt a bit of VR sickness(no where near what I got from jumping around in VR Worlds Scavenger, though but I did switch back to default at the first signs of sickness). I would say if you only buy digital on PSN wait for a price drop or a sale as they have it for 59.99 and phisical stores have it at 39.99. Also ignore the troll reviews like "Balayant" who claims they gave a 0 because they paid $80 for the game, just because they got ripped off and didn't research the price doesn't make it a 0 game, I'm not saying they don't have a reason to be upset but to me a 0 means there is no value at all to a game, even if I paid $80 for this i would give it a 1 or 2 because it does provided a decent experience.… Expand

    Best looking VR Game. I enjoyed every second of Robinson.
    I didn´t had any motion sickness at all. I like Laika and HIGS and would like to see more. Well done Crytek.

    Bought this today, it's pretty amazing, but I put it on the fluid camera for turns and after a while I was covered in sweat and had to take meclizine for motion sickness. 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.

    It's one of the best looking VR game so far. Leaving the Pod for the first time and looking around is amazing.
    Really no motion sickness for me, I think they found a nice solution.
    I have the feeling this is the first "real" game for the PS-VR while other games often feels like Demos.

    My son, 9, and I are having a blast with this game. Its the prettiest game on ps vr right now and immerses you in its scifi mixed with jurassic world.

    I recommend playing standing with all comfort settings off. Don't use the right analogue, shut your eyes briefly when grabbing a surface to climb, and you shouldn't ever get motion sickness. The game is engrossing, it pulls you in, and doesn't let go. Each area is distinct, and you'll have multiple occasions to interact with the dinosaurs.

Each area is distinct, and you'll have multiple occasions to interact with the dinosaurs. Robinson also happens to be one of the longer games with a narrative available for VR and knowing it won't be over in an hour certainly helps with the immersion. There are multiple paths to reach objectives. The sound and art design are great. I have to admit I was lucky enough to buy at a discount from Amazon who either discounted the game as a preorder bonus, or messed up the price, so, I don't feel cheated by the length of the game. To keep this critique short, Robinson is NOT a VR system seller, but is a must buy if you have PSVR, especially at $40. As It IS one of the most fleshed out experiences in VR, and a fun, lighthearted adventure you'll want to come back to If VR is your thing.… Expand

    I had the game a week early, thanks to Best Buy breaking street date. I was so excited about this game, and couldn’t wait to play. And, when I did… I absolutely loved it! I expected glowing reviews on the games “official release date. But, instead I was stunned by the negative comments.

But, instead I was stunned by the negative comments. Okay, I have to be honest- at first I had issues with motion sickness, but… Thanks to some in-game options "comfort settings" and taking breaks between plays I got used to it. And, man is it worth it! The feeling of atmosphere and detail is incredible! Everywhere you look there’s insects and creatures scurrying about. Pterosaurs flying above you. And, of course the dinosaurs! I think this is as close as it gets to see a live dinosaur. There was nothing like the feeling of being in the middle of a stampede of Brachiosaurs! Or… trying to sneak past Velociraptors without them seeing you. Don’t listen to the critics… Buy this game, it is one of the best VR experiences!… Expand

    Ok here is the truth about this game. The first hour is Boring and needed some more adventure. The VR graphics are completely immersive once you enter the tar pits but you realize how good the game is once you enter the jungle. It's a slow build maybe too slow but the experience in the jungle and beyond saves the day. This game needs a sequel plain and simple. A must buy and experience.

    I'm a sucker for dinosaur games, really. I DID get sick once or twice, not from the game, but probably from the heat... ANYWAYS! It starts off rather small and simple with it's VR experience, but it gets even more immersive once you enter the Tar Pits. Plus, Laika is just as cute as a button. Especially for a baby Tyrannosaurus. If you have time, you'll want to check this out.

    The visuals in this game are amazing. I definitely recommend this game and actually I wish the game was longer! The critic reviews on this are misleading to say the least.

    I played this when it first came out and the dinosaurs blew me away. They are incredible. That being said it's not the greatest game in the world, but in this case it is worth it just to see the dinosaurs.

    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.
