    I had tracking issues with the move controllers and the camera that I couldn't resolve so the game was basically unplayable for me, just as the other reviewer was saying

    The game is overall very well done. The motion controls work well, the aiming is decently accurate, and the spells are satisfying to cast. However, I ran into a game breaking bug in one of the earlier levels. I was given a magic rune and was told to put it in my pocket. I look down to see my pocket, and there it is. Down at my ankles.

When I reach down to try and put it in, the motion controllers lose tracking. I thought messing with the in-game height option could help, but no. It moves the pocket down into the ground. No amount of height tweaking, messing with the camera, or re-centering has been able to fix this, and it's a shame because the game had me completely engrossed. I'd highly recommend this game, but be aware that if you get the PSVR version, this is something that can happen.… Expand

    You do hand gestures to summon fireballs, magic arrows, and death rays. Do I need to say anything more to sell you on the game? Even though it certainly comes from a humble studio and there’s some stuff that could have been polished, this is one of the PSVR games I recommend the most.

    The Wizards is a step in the right direction. Casting spells is a blast and very intuitive. While the game does have some of the shortcomings that plague most VR games, this one makes up for it with the fact that you get to play as a wizard. The game is pretty meaty and has plenty for you to do. It looks pretty good too, minus a few less than ideal animations. Unfortunately The Wizards falls a bit short of being amazing. A shallow gameplay loop and content that grows stale after a while. I learned all the spells very quickly and I found myself wanting a little more by the end of the game. This time, not in a good way. Despite all that, I still enjoyed my time with The Wizards. It really is a lot of fun. I’m just not sure when or if I’ll get back to it.

    Overall, The Wizards creates a nice environment to explore and provides a short adventure to draw gamers into a magical land. Unfortunately, the unpredictable VR controls frustrate gameplay and are a distraction from totally enjoying an immersive wizard experience.

    If you dismiss the more apparent flaws, then you'll find The Wizards: Enhanced Edition to be an average adventure title. The quest itself plays out fine and enemies are fun to defeat, even if they don't pose too much trouble. However, the accuracy issues are simply too great that they transform what could be a game-changing VR wizard experience into an exercise in flailing limbs. It isn't a terrible game, but don't expect something top-tier in the VR space.
