Best PSVR Games of 2018
The Persistence
Horror games tend to work really well in virtual reality. There’s something about being present in a world that’s designed to be unsettling that elevates games above how they’d be if they were played on standard screen.
The likes of Resident Evil VII, Until Dawn Rush of Blood, and Transference are all great examples of how a setting is important in VR, and The Persistence is no different.
Your task is to save a spaceship and avoid the crew that’s been turned into murderous creatures. It’s full of horror tropes and expected jump scares, but you creep around the hallways, getting to know the setting and learning more about the story.
It’s also one of the most substantial experiences available on PSVR. Unlike other horror titles, it’s not a two or three-hour tale, offering something that actually lets you explore and learn how its world works. There’s definite Dead Space in VR vibes with The Persistence.
