Poking villagers in the eye in Resident Evil 4 on PSVR 2

I should not need to tell you just how good the remake of Resident Evil 4 is, but if you really need a refresher go read our 10/10 review or appreciate the Best Remake award that we just gave it. Suffice to say it’s a brilliant game, but is it a brilliant game played on PSVR 2?  Well yes… and no.

Everything that we loved about Resident Evil 4 is intensified when playing in VR, the atmospheric graphics and superb sound effects really transport you to the remote part of Spain where things are growling in the bushes. Rather like real life, there’s something really quite terrifying about an old lady slowly approaching you waving a meat cleaver when you can look her directly in the eye, and being chased by chainsaw wielding maniacs is as heart racing as you might expect.

The game uses similar controls to other VR shooters in that your items are stored on your belt or shoulder and by pressing the correct button on the Sense controllers you can pick them up. Weapons need reloading in a realistic fashion and you really need to learn how to insert ammo and cock the gun at top speed as you don’t get much breathing room. You can also swing your knife and stab people in a melee attack if things get really frantic, but you obviously can’t reload a gun while that is happening, so working out the best form of attack is may save you when under pressure.

Thankfully there’s also a whole bunch of options for you to fiddle with to try and ensure the game is comfortable to play in VR. If the gun loading actions are a bit too much for you, then you can thankfully simply this and many other actions as well. There’s also the usual options for motion and turning, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to switch off the dark vignette the game places
