    Very casual, very PSVR1 look-like, very short... Sony want to convince people to buy PSVR2 for this games? Very sad. And I am very sad too. :/ Buy this on hard discount only!

    The game is short, but I enjoyed it. My eyes got very wet a couple of times. I'm just sorry it's got broken trophies. I finished the whole game, but I've got zero trophies, so I'm not motivated to play again and try for platinum. The reason I'm downgrading my rating by one point. 8>7
    (If you're absolutely not interested in trophies, read this review as a solid 8/10)

    No es tan bueno como lo ponen, interesante historia pero corta y poco rejugable, hay problemas con los subtitulos en castellano, a veces desaparecen, y gráficamente es flojillo. No es una experiencia muy VR, Lo del seguimiento de ojos funciona muy bien.

    Most emotional game since outer wilds 9/10 because you cant really replay it again unless you dont play for a year, idk what the review with 2 points was thinking, Its only £11 and it has masterful storytelling

    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 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.

    It turns out you can cry quite comfortably while immersed in PSVR2. What begins as a tired tale about the life of a great artist satisfyingly dismantles itself mid-way through, taking pot shots at all-too-familiar false binary choices along the way. If the initial big twist doesn’t move you, the final emotional beat brings it all home and is bound to leave creatives of all stripes blinking back tears. Short but very sweet. [Issue#27, p.75]

    Playing Before Your Eyes on PSVR2 is by far the best way to experience one of the most unique and heart-wrenching games I have ever played. In VR you are literally placed as close to the action as you can possibly be and with that it makes an already beautiful story feel all the more personal and moving as a result. If you have taken the PSVR2 plunge Before Your Eyes needs to be in your library.

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