    This brief length shouldn’t discourage anyone with a PSVR from playing Wayward Sky, though – besides being a stellar proof-of-concept showing how one of the oldest genres of gaming will do just fine in this brand new format, it’s a great title all on its own, and a genuine standout of the launch lineup.

    An intuitive camera turns Wayward Sky, much to our surprise, into one of the most enjoyable games for PlayStation VR yet.

    In spite of any shortcomings it may have, Wayward Sky is very cool and the game presents a fantastic sense of scale in VR. The fortress is gigantic, there are plenty of opportunities to look around and take in the view from wherever you are in the game, and there’s especially a moment with a particular giant robot that really deserves to be seen for yourself.

    Wayward Sky is a brilliant title, with some innovative ideas and a peculiar design. It is an adventure with a soft pace, all based on not too elaborate environmental puzzles. Yet, Wayward Sky plays in an fervent way with the sense of scale and the perspective deceptions of Virtual Reality.

    What a truly charming, fascinating little game Wayward Sky is! One of the best PSVR experiences available right now.

    Though relatively slight in duration, Wayward Sky proves to be an easy recommendation for PSVR owners. With its charming story and visuals, clever use of depth and remarkable suitability for younger players, Wayward Sky easily cements its place as one of the most intriguing games in the launch line-up for PSVR.

The characters and story failed to keep my attention despite the shortness of the game, and the puzzles were far too simple to be engaging at all. While i was initially annoyed that it ended so quickly, I ended up thankful I didn't have to sit through any more of it.… Full Review »
