BATMAN: ARKHAM VR
Not only is the training mission an unparalleled
exercise in wish fulfilment (Wayne Manor! The
Batcave! Batarangs!) but the defiantly sharp, if
short, campaign is the epilogue to Arkham Knight we
needed and deserved. Bats off to you, Rocksteady.15

THE VIRTUAL REALITY HITS YOU HAVE TO PLAY
PS VR HALL OF FAME
KEEP TALKING AND
NOBODY EXPLODES
Who knew bombs could bring people together? With
one headsetted Defuser, and as many Experts as you
can fit around a 23-page manual, no other VR game
comes close for inclusive, endless multiplayer fun.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.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!”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.RIGS: MECHANIZED
COMBAT LEAGUE
Mech-suited shooter b-ball where you dunk yourself
through the hoop? It might sound goofy, but it’s
PS VR’s most elegant team sport. Potential nausea
aside, this is the future of competitive gaming.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.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
of how VR can improve already great games.112
HALL OF FAMETETRIS 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.
