    I guess I bought in on the hype and bought this game solely based on the reviews. Bad mistake. After a few hours playing this game I can honestly say it's NOT worth the price of entry. Previous gen graphics, clunky gameplay and terribly dark VR sequences (even with the flashlight on) makes for a murky, low-res, boring and confusing game. Each time you die (and you will, many times over)I guess I bought in on the hype and bought this game solely based on the reviews. Bad mistake.

Previous gen graphics, clunky gameplay and terribly dark VR sequences (even with the flashlight on) makes for a murky, low-res, boring and confusing game. Each time you die (and you will, many times over) the entire game starts over and all collectibles are gone, including your weapons. I'll put in some more hours after spending the money but not at ALL what I expected after all the positive reviews. Buyer beware.… Expand

    A clever genre mix and essential VR experience. [Issue#204, p.84]

    The Persistence is an immersive, but not so scary, PSVR stealth game set in a spaceship full of zombies. It uses Rogue-lite mechanics in a good way, feels very punishing- but not impossible - and has some cool weapons to fight in its procedurally generated levels, that you can visit with a friend using a tablet.
