    I thought I'd give this a go as I liked the look of the blood cells in the trailer and thought the environment and gameplay could be interesting. Unfortunately this is one of the most repetitive games I've played in years. Floating around collecting small particles is ok for 5 minutes, but VEV uses the exact same gameplay mechanic for the entire game with essentially zero change.

I somewhat enjoyed the first 5 minutes, I endured the following 55 minutes, I regretted purchasing it for all the minutes since.… Expand

    WTH is this game? I don't know. I put it in for a few minutes, couldn't figure it out and immediately turned off and deleted it. Avoid.

    VEV's low price tag is a plus, as is the unique concept behind the game. You should keep in mind though that VEV also offers extremely repetitive gameplay and controls that don't always work the way they should.

    Viva Ex Vivo is back. It was always waiting for PlayStation VR and now it feels like an essential purchase if you’ve got some spare change in your PSN account. It’s still a shallow, and occasionally obtuse, game but now it’s a good one.

    All in all, VEV: Viva Ex Vivo is quite a conflicted game. It gives the impression that it wants to be quite a laid back, almost zen-like experience, yet it’s frustratingly challenging. It’s also as clear as mud when it comes to explaining itself, revelling in throwing science jargon at you to the point where it overcomplicates matters; it’s essentially quite a simple survival game.
