    Before Your Eyes is a highly emotional storytelling experience that takes advantage of eye tracking, our favorite feature of PlayStation VR 2.

    Playing through Before Your Eyes in virtual reality never truly feels like the optimal way to consume this creation. Given its innate hindrances and oftentimes frustrating gameplay gripes, PSVR2 can come across as quite the opposite, perhaps the least enjoyable platform in which to digest the story. With its brevity in mind, along with a general lack of engagement and replayability, you’re better off grabbing this one-and-done experience elsewhere if you’re intrigued by the premise.

    There’s a wealth of blockbuster campaigns and arcade games for PSVR 2, but there’s nothing else quite like Before Your Eyes. This is an essential experience for the platform that leverages eye tracking technology to tell a compelling story that simply wouldn’t work without it.

    I created an acct. specifically to write a review as I am SHOCKED people gave this bad reviews. Bought this game for 10 bucks not reallyI created an acct. specifically to write a review as I am SHOCKED people gave this bad reviews. Bought this game for 10 bucks not really knowing what I was getting into. I knew this was more of an interactive story than an actual game. I was in tears towards the end, completely heart breaking. Probably something you will play once but for the price you can't beat it.… Full Review »
