Red Matter 2 Review - Beautiful VR Benchmark | COGconnected

Red Matter 2 from Vertical Robots is a visual VR tour de force on PSVR 2. Red Matter 2 fully utilizes the capabilities of the PSVR 2 headset.

To anybody curious, I cannot recommend this enough. It's absolutely stunning, plays well (very VR in terms of interacting with stuff) and has a good story, too. You don't need to have played the first game, either.

Up there with the best looking VR games ever, in my opinion, and it's only $30!

@SullysCigar that's great to hear! Definitely gotta check it out. VR games, especially, should all have demos so folks can try them out, as that's truly the best way to decide what VR games work best for you. Hadn't heard anything about this until reviews started popping up. Very intrigued now.

Man, another game I simply must get. I have bought so many PSVR2 games as I'm sure a lot of PSVR2 owners have as well. This is a good problem to have this early in PSVR 2's life-cycle. I'm very glad Valve and Meta are in the VR space. Whats the saying? A tide raises all boats? I forget, but that really does apply in regards to VR. That is why I believe Valve really need to release Half Life: Alyx on PSVR 2 and vice versa with Horizon: Call of the Mountain. It's for the good of the VR industry

A rising tide raises all ships. And I totally agree.

What's exciting is that Insomniac own a couple of awesome VR IPs and are extremely competent with development of VR games. I'd like to see Stormlands come to PSVR2, for example - and a sequel!

Also, Switchback is about to get a MAJOR visuals update (much needed, I might add, as it was blurry at launch, looking like a last gen VR title), so perhaps that could launch on PC VR too, in the future.
