SPRINT VECTOR
A crazy mix of SSX racing and obstacle course
hijinks, Sprint Vector makes use of the best control
setup on PS VR to deliver a near perfect experience.
A single-player Challenge mode and online races
impress; only the poor single-player AI holds it back.

THE VIRTUAL REALITY HITS YOU HAVE TO PLAY

DOOM VFR
A new take on a classic game, this proves first-
person shooters can shine in VR. A mix of control
choices, including the PS Aim controller, ensures
Doom is as fast and fluid in VR as it’s ever been.
Every PS VR owner needs this in their collection.

FIREWALL: ZERO HOUR
There’s only one game mode, a cat-and-mouse
assault to find and either destroy or protect a
laptop, but when the shooting is this laser-focused,
who could want more? A PS Aim controller is a must
to get the most from PS VR’s standout shooter.

ASTRO BOT RESCUE MISSION
This pint-sized adventure packs charm in spades
even if it isn’t chock-full of challenge. Bringing the
classic puzzle platformer formula bang up to date in
PS VR, it won’t take many levels before you’re calling
out, “Beam me up, Botty!”

BLOOD & TRUTH
The truth? You can’t handle the truth. But if you can,
then you’ll discover one of PS VR’s best shooters,
tied to the kind of slick cinematic narrative we’re
used to from Sony’s non-VR releases. Blood & Truth
is one of the most complete games for PS VR.

EVERYBODY’S GOLF VR
Golf and virtual reality go together like ham and eggs
or rhubarb and custard. In PS VR you swing and
chip shots, lean over putts, and become immersed
in the act of putting a ball in a small hole. It’s near
perfection, and one of PS VR’s essentials.

TO THE TOP
This creative platform-puzzler enables you to
scamper, jump, and skate across its 35 sandbox
worlds, with the aid of your PS Move controllers. It’s
as physically demanding as it is perplexing, and all
the better for it. To The Top is a PS VR one-off.

THE PERSISTENCE
This first-person horror roguelike offers perfectly
sized chunks of survival bursts. It’s everything you’d
expect from a full PS4 release, but in PS VR it’s
filled with clever ideas, unique weapons, genuine
jump scares, and fab looks – plus great couchplay.

REZ INFINITE
Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s vision becomes reality in PS VR.
This psychedelic rhythm rail shooter has achieved
its final form. Its crowning achievement? New level
Area X; it’s powerful enough to bring players to
tears. Worthy of its name, this is a timeless title.

STATIK
Saw meets Portal in this fantastic puzzler. It makes
ingenious use of the DualShock 4 by giving every
button a specific function. You’ll need to use them
all to free your hands from the strange box in which
they’re trapped. An intriguing concept done well.

RESIDENT EVIL VII: BIOHAZARD
Can you can go eye-to-eye with the Bakers? Playing
in VR raises the tension to almost unbearable levels
and has gameplay benefits such as face-aiming,
which makes shooting a lot easier. A brilliant example

(^112) of how VR can improve already great games.
HALL OF FAME
TETRIS EFFECT
Tetris, yeah? It might be a great game, but it’s easy to understand
why you’d brush this off as just more Tetris at a glance. Yet Tetsuya
Mizuguchi’s trippy, transcendent take on the block-based puzzler is
nothing short of a masterpiece. Sure, you can play it without PS VR,
but in the virtual space it really becomes next level, transforming
one of the tightest puzzle games ever made into an emotional ride.
