    A bit simple and short, but there's loads of potential here. Let's see what the future holds.

    Despite a limited presentation, it introduces a clever way of using the PSVR helmet within a cockpit, one housed within an interesting sci-fi tale. Still, be prepared for an array of interaction quirks, likewise stale voiceovers. If there are subsequent Space Rift episodes, hopefully they’ll iron out Episode 1 issues.

    Space Rift is a little clunky and has a low budget feel to it but it tells an interesting story and breaks it up with some fun dogfights. The presentation isn't going to wow you, even with the PSVR functionality, but if you're looking for a VR game with some potential depth, this episodic space opera is worth a look.

Sometimes it's a little hard to work out what to do, and twice the game has got stuck while scanning an asteroid, and needed a restart to let me do anything else. Not a bad way to spend £12 at all, but some room for improvement.… Full Review »
