    StarBlood Arena is VR’s Overwatch. Oozing with personality, it explodes with a style and grace that one might not expect to come from the scrappiest corners of the galaxy. The tight, frenetic combat takes some standard shooter ideas and literally turns them on their head, putting you in the pilot’s seat in a way only possible with virtual reality. If you haven’t taken the plunge, StarBlood Arena is a damn good reason to get PSVR. If you already own one, I’ll see you in the arena.

    Starblood Arena easily stands alongside the best competitive games, fostering a competitiveness and desire to improve as much as Rocket League or Overwatch do.

    Traditional FPS gameplay is given a new spin with PS VR as the frighteningly fast, wide-eyed fun of flying in 360 degrees is matched by tight controls and a welcome lack of motion sickness. [June 2017, p.88]

    Starblood Arena is surprisingly good. It manages to solve motion sickness problems with some clever game design and it offers at the same time a nice and engaging overall experience. The game has plenty of content and we found it very polished and well designed. It is likely among the best VR games out there at the moment.

    If your are looking for a quick shooter fix in VR, this might be it – if you are willing to invest the time needed to wait for online connections as well as unlocking of new equipment.

    Starblood Arena is a very enjoyable game, and works better than expected in VR. It does need more content though, and we hope it arrives, because the foundations are quite good.

The game looks great and has a lot of character. I'm happy with the smaller amount of players as it's much preferable to play team death match and actually be able to voice chat. I had issues connecting to multiplayer but I'm sure that'll get resolved. I went through psn community on the console to find people to squad up with, which worked. Played for a few hours online. Tons of fun. With what is available at launch and the discount for amazon prime order, I thought it was worth the price.… Full Review »

I'll start with the biggest drawback out of the box, the pvp matchmaking needs some tuning. At times i could join a game right away, and other times, not so much. As far as gameplay, Starblood looks great and i found it to be quite a blast. Very little to no nausea from the beginning. controls and movement feel very fluid. Takes some practice getting the controls down but once you do, it feels great. Don't get me wrong Starblood has its flaws. Levels could be bit more unique and multiplayer could use a designated lobby instead of having to go back to the main screen after every match. Overall though if your looking for a new vr title in a lacking market, for the money Starblood is a great choice.… Full Review »
