Deracine is going for $18. Is it worth it?

One of my top 10 games due to its music, art direction, and story. It is a light puzzle solving game that lasts about 5-7 hours.

Damn, the mechanics in Racket Fury are legit! It feels so good to play. The below gifs are me just messing around in the training section. Look at the 2nd one where you can just put the ball on the paddle, roll it around, tap it, flip the paddle, ect.
It's just a shame that the single player content is so barebones. There's no music in-game and there appears to be one single background and one table (though this might be just b/c I've only done the first series of AI). The AI seems really standard and the enemies in the first championship series seemed to all be the same difficulty.
I really hope they actually do put out the multiplayer update they claimed to be working on. The developer of Holoball lied about making multiplayer on PC and then on PSVR, so I just hope to be pleasantly surprised this time.

Man this writer makes a very good point.
It goes under the radar how much PSVR gives the PS4 (and the PS5 in the future) extra legs and value. You can literally play games that aren't available without it. The feeling of playing 5 hours worth (over a week's timespan) of a great VR game like Astrobot or Blood in Truth, after playing 50 hours of RDR2 or some other great RPG is a great palate cleanser. Or when there's a 2-3 month drought of games that aren't coming out that you like, you'll always have a handful of good-great PSVR games to play to bridge that gap. It's an amazing value-add.

Just finished Blood and Truth a couple days ago, what a ride from start to finish, the set pieces were amazing throughout this game. I felt they absolutely pushed our current gen headset to the limits visually but what a job they did. The story serves its purpose but its nothing ground breaking, the gameplay is where its at, this should be in everyone's PSVR collection at some point.
I've also just started Vacation Simulator, theres alot more to this one from my first vacation stop on the beach, more activities, plenty of area's within area's, a variety of mini-game type missions. If you liked Job Simulator, you'll like this one too, digital only $39.99 CAD on the PlayStation Store.

Vacation Simulator Review
uploadvr.com
POSITIVES
- Unparalleled grasp on interactions in VR
- Largely inventive, fantastic minigames
- Owlchemy's staple humor out in full force
NEGATIVES
- A handful of repetitive, dull memories
- Still feels more tech demo than full experience
Final Score: 8/10 – Great
Ironically, Vacation Simulator feels like a progress report. It’s an encouraging news flash from Owlchemy about where it is with making VR as immersive as possible as we continue to tolerate the shortcomings of other, ‘fuller’ games. But its philosophy of authenticity and intuition above all else is to be praised and preserved. There’s playful fun, immersive wonder and liberating agency all gathered under one roof, here. Vacation Simulator may only be a small step in a wider journey, but it’s one well worth taking.

Speaking of Borderlands 2 VR, I was thinking of purchasing it but a few days ago my friends "forced" me to play through the whole non-VR version with them and now I'm not so sure if I want to do it all over again (and alone at that) in VR. I wanted another excuse to use the Aim Controller, dammit

I'd say it may not be worth it. It's a solid VR port of an older game, so I'll give them credit there, but it does have some funkiness that turned me off. I didn't even think the Aim controls felt very good. I'm sure plenty of others disagree, though.

I got it cheap, but if I had to pay full price I probably wouldn't. If you aren't a fan of the series definitely don't. I like it but not a huge fan. I've had fun with it, but it does feel off to me some how.

Thanks, I kinda had the itch to burn some money on it but you're right, but you've put my mind at ease.

I remember head butting the floor trying to look through a trap door into the room below on the Vive demo years ago. I wonder if they kept that "feature" ?
Still a great game. Not sure how it'll hold up with the PS Move controllers though?

Who knows, most games now are pretty serviceable though. And I think people who use PSVR frequently have figured out how to get the most out of the Moves.

Haha I played yesterday infront of my air conditioner, it actually is pretty sweet they really got the mechanics down well for webbing your way through the city, once you get the hang of it and learn to swoop down abit to get the full-spidey-swoop effect. The city looks pretty bare but there are clusters of people, a few cars. There was a boss fight in the story mode, time trials in the free-play mode all pretty decent for a free download and hopefully they do add to it.Holy Shit... and here are 35°C, so no chance jumping through my living room

Next Gran Turismo Will be a 'Combination of Past, Present, and Future'
We recently got the opportunity to sit down with Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. The round-table chat took place during a break in the schedule at the Nurburgring World Tour event, and you can read the first part of the discussion here. With all the industry talk right now centered

Sounds like more VR goodness for PS5. Much needed.

Maann I just finished this game two nights ago, it was so amazing, a gaming experience I've never experienced before. The art direction, level design, colours, lightning are top notch, did a little research, and I found out the makers of this game use to be ex Bungie veterans, not surprised one bit.

So basically this is Kaz saying console hardware has gotten to a place that's maxxed out for 2D screens for GT. So the next level is VR. I'm assuming he's going to be all in on PSVR2 then. This is great news.

Played Spidey (on Vive). It was definitely better than the previous promo. Mechanics were fun, I was surprised that they went for it, doing some actual VR web swinging. Not perfect, but certainly better than I'd expected. The rest of the experience... ehhhh. I'd almost rather not have bothered. I think it's a tease because they've demonstrated that they could do something pretty cool, but there honestly hasn't been any kind of budget/production value put into this. If they spent a little money they could make it look a fair bit nicer (environments), and with some solid design I could see myself happily getting lost in this world. Yes I know it's free, but I'd happily pay good money for a legit campaign building off these mechanics and with some compelling design.. I mean, VR really needs this stuff right now to advance the medium. It's not giving me too much hope for Iron Man, I have to say. I guess we will know more, shortly.
