Horizon Call of the Mountain is the PSVR2’s big launch title and the first spin-off for Sony’s Horizon series. This VR title is more of a Horizon-themed amusement park ride than a standalone Horizon adventure, but it’s still a very impressive new look into the series’ techno-dystopia and is a visual masterpiece.

The PSVR2’s secret weapon is actually a sequel to an obscure PlayStation 2 launch game. Fantavision 202X is a firework puzzle game that really thrives in VR — it turns a pretty standard puzzle game into a cinematic experience where you will feel like “a conductor crafting a visual symphony.”

Village isn’t the best entry in the long-running Resident Evil series, but it’s still a blast in VR. Resident Evil Village works best when it’s serving up atmospheric exploration that cleverly expands on the franchise’s puzzle box roots. Strap on your headset and try to survive.

No Man’s Sky VR is an immersive experience that takes players on a journey through an endless universe of procedurally generated planets, creatures, and space anomalies. This game is a great example of the possibilities of VR, allowing players to feel like they are actually exploring the vastness of space. The game’s mechanics, such as flying spacecraft and discovering new worlds, will take some getting used to in VR form, but it’s totally worth it.

It’s a surprisingly robust showcase of what the PSVR2 is capable of, both in terms of visuals and its controls. Part fitness game, part National Geographic documentary, this title is a worthwhile VR experience despite it not being a typical game subject.
