There are some nice gags along the way, such as trucks crashing in front of you and busy intersections, but it’s all hobbled by the incredibly low resolution and blurry visuals.Īt times it’s almost impossible to tell what you’re looking at, and it feels like your glasses have been smeared with Vaseline. The controls are very responsive, although the sense of speed is never quite as fast you might hope. VR Luge is also controlled purely by moving your head and does exactly what it says on the tin (assuming you were expecting street luge, anyway). Although the giant stadium you’re suspended in does look impressive. There are multiple different opponents, who can do things like split the ball or charge it up, but with no human multiplayer the novelty wears off quickly. By just moving your head you can direct the paddle in front of you, as you try to smash the ball at an angle.

With the best will in the world Danger Ball probably isn’t going to hold anyone’s interest for much longer, even though there is much more to it. Because there’s no action going on, that would take up precious processing power, this is one of the best-looking of any PlayStation VR game, and as curious fish swim near and giant manta rays glide by it really does feel as if you could just reach out and grab them.

If you’re trying VR for the first time then Ocean Descent is a perfect place to start. It’s a familiar approach for any new hardware launch, and full of all the promise, excitement, and limitations you’d expect. Because PlayStation VR Worlds is a compilation five completely different games meant to highlight the different ways that VR can be used in the future and, hopefully, offer some entertainment in the present. Actually, the first games they’ll play are likely to be one of the eight demos included with the headset, of which PlayStation VR Worlds is one.
