    It's free and you get Robot Rescue. That's enough reason to give it 10. Now Sony, can we have a full version of Robot Rescue as a stand alone game, that'd be great.

    There is nothing to complain about knowing this comes with the PSVR headset Free.

    Everyone should try Robot Rescue and Sony must make a full game! The other games are fun and show what VR can do. "What do I see in your future? Possibility!"

    It gets point for being free, for variety, for multiplayer and replay value.

    This free to play multi game station is the best way to immerse yourself in the VR world. One of its biggest attributions is the multiplayer function.

    Great and fun for a group of people(2-3 people actually). Playroom VR contains 5 games and a playroom for collections.

    Well, the downside is, these games got boring quickly and the "Rescue Robot" game is a little bit dizzy for the VR player. This shouldn't be a problem since it is just a free demo for the new tech.    … Expand

    Well its free, so you cant really complain. It's really a showcase of demos for displaying what the social screen can be capable of. There is fun the be had here and i especially give a shout out to robot rescue which made me hope a 3rd person platformer will soon be developed for PS VR.

    The PlayRoom VR is one of the best free content apps for a system launch ever. It's a great game for all ages and groups of people. It's a great VR game to show off and implements co-operative play and multiplayer play very well between the social screen and the VR headset. The VR visuals are awesome and cute. It's a great party game.

    This is a pretty sweet demo for the ps vr. It highlights the best parts of vr and acts as Sony's answer to wii sports. And how can you complain when all of these games come for free.

    Excellent fun with the family and 100% free. We played Cat and Mouse to no end. Wanted is cool as well and the platforming game (Robots Rescue?) is excellent. How could anyone rate this poorly? If you have a PS VR, it's a must.

    Genial! fresco! divertido! y muy friendly. Han jugado desde los peques de la casa hasta los abuelos y las carcajadas han sido constantes. Una maravilla de juego. Una vez más Japan Studio... Olé!

    This game is fun in both single player and for co-op with friends and family, it has a lot of variety and is free. This game to VR is most like what Wii Sports was for the Wii, a fun way to introduce the console to friends. To be fair though it does have less replayability.

    The single player Robot Rescue really should have a game in its own right. Not only does it prove platformers actually work really well in VR but its possibly the most likeable character in a platformer since Crash Bandicoot. This cute robot is just better than the characters in Wayward Sky and LittleBIGPlanet.

    The best of the couch co-op games is Ghost House. It's the classic game where one person gives instructions to another and this is a very effective manifestation of that. It will cause a group to battle to see who is the fastest pair.

    Monster Escape is more humorous than anything else, an interesting perspective and you have a tail! The Wanted game is fairly basic, good for adding variety but not too much else. The same is also true for Cat and Mouse, though you are probably unlikely to play this one as much as the others.

    The whole experience is short but entertaining with some games leaving you craving much more.    … Expand

    I had the time of my life playing this with my family. It's like Nintendo Land for the Wii U but a lot more fun with lots of different games that can really show off the kind of fun you can have in VR. An absolute must play if you or a friend have a headset, especially since it's free!

    No need to splash the cash: here's a no-fuss, free party game collection for all ages, and with some style. Even the weaker games will be short-lived hits. [Christmas 2016, p.97]

    The Playroom VR is a good collection of couch co-op mini-games that demonstrate the capabilities of the VR headset superbly. Although a few of the games you'll play once and never touch again, Robots Rescue is a standout experience that you'll wish was a fully-fledged game in itself.
