PlayStation VR2 Launch Lineup Impressions Part One

As previously noted in my at-length impressions piece, Gran Turismo 7’s VR mode only takes effect when actively putting tires to pavement and racing on your favorite circuit. If you can muster a racing wheel and shift set, that will only serve to enhance the realism of hitting the Nürburgring behind the wheel of your favorite four-tired speed machine. This is the centerpiece VR title you want to break out at parties to turn the most hesitant of VR contestants into believers. Save for feeling the wind in your hair or the taste of burning rubber on the tip of your tongue, Gran Turismo 7 assaults your senses in full virtual reality within the real driving experience.

The concept of playing a virtual jigsaw puzzle may put one to sleep, but I found Puzzling Places to be an absolutely charming little experience where players rebuild 3D buildings and designs from the ground up. Across the more than two dozen puzzles available, players can range from a mere twenty-five pieces to tilt around and click together all the way up to a thousand-piece puzzle that’s exclusive to the PlayStation VR2 version. Some finicky hand tracking can make fitting everything together an exercise in patience, but the opportunity to zone out and just find that zen moment with relaxing tunes playing in the background is a fantastic spa-like experience on PlayStation VR2. While there’s a plethora of real world buildings to reassemble, the Japanese kimono has enough diversity in colors and designs that it’s a fantastic first piece to assemble to get into the experience. This was the title I kept gravitating towards when I just wanted something to relax and enjoy at my own leisure.
