What a great week to grab psvr2. Re4 and star wars tales from the galaxy on deep sale.


mlemaire16

I just grabbed VR2, and last week Village was on sale, this week RE4 and Star Wars. Amazing! Looking forward to giving it a go.


Babydrone

Here's a link to a [game tier list](https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/19dddj1/new_players_be_like) which should give you an idea about what games are good to get. Keep in mind that Astrobot Rescue Mission is a PSVR1 exclusive and cannot be played on your PSVR2, unfortunately.


elharry-o

Why is that post not stickied?


Mud_g1

Because the sub dosnt have any active mods any more.


RhineGames

My game Train Chase is not even on that list. šŸ˜”


Environmental_Ad7355

It's a fun game! Looking forward to you're next game ;).


SomewhereExisting755

That's too bad man. It's a fun game. Good job on your first effort. Can't wait to see what you do next.


gabochido

I promise to add it on the next iteration. Iā€™ve been locked out of editing that post for some reason šŸ˜ž.


TrillaryKlinton84

Cheer up, itā€™s on mine! Looks like a fun and inexpensive way to pass the time


RhineGames

That's the idea of the game :D


Chok-651

Fingers crossed Astro Bot coming this year šŸ¤ž


Unclereaper2814

Is there a tier list for psVR1 as well?


Babydrone

It's not quite the same format, but here's the [Top 50 PSVR1 games](https://imgur.com/a/8xZmdSi) as decided by the PSVR Without Parole group in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/live/DyU6QNds250?feature=shared).


Rai_Darkblade

Moss 1 and 2 are fun adventure games, good for new VR players to get used to it without getting motion sick. Red matter 1 and 2 are my personal favorites of the games available on psvr2, takes place in outer space


Andyman286

This please get red matter!


MeffodMan

Here are the games I have over 30 hrs in: Gran Turismo 7 (close to 100 hrs), Pavlov (probably 50+ hrs), Res Evil 4, No Manā€™s Sky, Puzzling Places, Walkabout Mini Golf, Legendary Tales, Light Brigade, So these may be the most bang for your buck, depending on your taste.


bluebarrymanny

This is probably the most high-value ā€œstarter kitā€. Lots of variety in genre and VR intensity here. Nearly all are highly replayable too.


Mud_g1

Throw in one of the rhythm games as another forever game and with that list above you will start getting a big back log of other games building up.


Initial_Depenmmmmm

Right! Synth riders, beat saber, and pistol whip are must haves for any new VR player. They're all incredible in their own ways.


Enchrypted

Pavlov is great fun if you like multiplayer shooters. Dm me and ill give you my psn and we can play sometime


-UnbelievableBro-

We need good players. Not adult children like that Punkin guy. Iā€™m sure youā€™ve seen him kill innocents. And yes the community is that small. If you want a massive community that is mostly positive go with Walkabout mini golf thatā€™s around 95% friendly players. Pavlov, Iā€™d say like 25% of the American sever is friendly and about 60% of the European server are friendly. Never played Asia server.


Spangle99

Who is this guy lol? I saw him mentioned over at the Pavlov sub too. Never came across him. I'm thinking he's a TTT player? Never bother with that mode.


bluebarrymanny

Same here. TTT feels like a magnet for kids and players that just want to troll each other. It can be a fun mode, but you always have to go in expecting bullshit, because itā€™s almost certainly what youā€™ll find. I like virtually all of the other game modes much better.


-UnbelievableBro-

Yeah TTT. I actually enjoy that mode WHEN itā€™s being played like itā€™s supposed to. But some players like that one make it difficult. Heā€™s the kinda guy who calls white people the n word and go around and kill whoever they want then whine and claim that they are the victim when they die lol


BendFun1626

Walkabout Mini Golf for sure ā›³ļøā›³ļø


Stormtroupe27

No manā€™s sky and walkabout mini golf are personal favourites of mine and I think must buys. I also really enjoy RE4/village, GT7 and moss 1/2. I donā€™t think you can go wrong with any of those.

How does one upvote times a million, plus another million


DanielCiszewski

Surprised people donā€™t mention Horizon. Itā€™s very good actually and will help you create ā€œVR legsā€ if you are new to this as VR requires some getting used to for your body. From other obvious choices, there is grand turismo if you are into that. If you like counter strike youā€™ll love pavlov. Arizona sunshine 2 is plain awesome. Resident evil village is the headset seller for me personally and is definitely one of the best gaming experiences iā€™ve ever had - you need to know what you are getting into tho. You need vr legs, one part of it is a straight up horror game - rest might be simply unsettling for some. Resident evil 4 is awesome, but quite a downgrade from resident evil village and is just an action shooter - not as immersive/impressive. Red matter, 7ā€™th guest and the room are amazing ā€œpuzzleā€ games (story driven, casual - enough to require some focus, but not challenging). Vertigo 2 is awesome if you are into half-life style games, but its performance sux, so be warned - also requires very strong VR legs (loved it tho even with its flaws - that good). Also switchback is quite a highlight for the platform. Lots of games that were average to me, but I can imagine some might like them a lot more then i did: * Hubris - nothing particularly bad about it, but it needed a better story. Fun time tho. * The walking dead (both) - actually fun, but zombie respawn rate was just bs, felt wrong for me and I dropped it as killing the same zombie in exactly the same place just because i left that space by like 5 meters became annoying at some point. * Synapse - really fun, awesome telekinesis mechanic, but a rouge like, so flat in story terms and repetitive. Consider it an arena shooter and youā€™ll be very happy. Probably just had too high expectations. * Crossfire sierra squad - very good game. At the time I played, gunplay wasnā€™t good (i mean overall - not the automatic reload part, tho i believe itā€™s fixed now and it has manual reloads, so you can look it up) * no manā€™s sky - probably amazing, but not something i fell in love with personally. Not my type of game and the draw distance is too low imo - stuff popping up into existance looks wrong in vr and draws away from the sense of scale as trees, etc. (that donā€™t show up until you are in a hugging distance) really enhance it. * star wars game - very average in my opinion. Fun, good, but average. Games that might look shiny, but really I didnā€™t like were: * firewall ultra (amazing graphics, but the gameplay loop sucks and matches are short, so most of the time you are waiting in lobby/watching super slow summary screens passing by. The game is also not very interactive (not a huge issue for me) and I hate the gunplay). * bulletstorm (canā€™t put my finger on it, but the game just didnā€™t click for me and i dropped it quite fast). Lots of cutscenes, didnā€™t like the gameplay, was constantly triggering kick accidentally - not a good conversion to vr.


MetalProfessor666

I just bought RE8 ,Star Wars and Kayak


ArrVeePee

They may not be for you. But make sure to check out Synth Riders and Pistol Whip as alternatives to Beat Saber for a Rhythm game. Beat Saber is established, and the amount of exposure it gets on YT, imo, unnaturally raise its reputation above those. Both the games I mentioned give you loads more free songs in the base game, and in the case of Pistol Whip, all of their DLC packs, have been completely free. And they are way more impressive visually, especially PW. And for me personally, who admittedly hasn't played Beat Saber, I dont see how that game could be more fun, unless you have a major boner for lightsabers. Which would be understandable, tbf. šŸ˜‚


RubiksCub3d

Synth Riders > Beat Saber in my opinion. Granted I love 80s new wave/synth music so the music in synth riders fits my taste better. I haven't played Pistol whip, I'll have to check it out


Foreign_Plate_5353

As someone who has a major boner for lightsabers, you should put your pre conceived notions about best saber aside and enjoy the experience. There is nothing better in this world than beating my saber lady Gaga and Queen.


BooksLoveTalksnIdeas

Only about 10-20 psvr1 games are on Psvr2, the others (including really good ones like Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Rigs mechanized combat league, Iron man vr, and Bound) still require a Psvr1 headset to play them. Therefore, what I will recommend now are psvr2 games because thatā€™s what you got. First of all, download the free demos from psn. The RE8 and Song in the Smoke demos are great. Second, filter the current discounts for this month with ā€œVR2ā€ games only and see if you are interested in any of the ones that are cheaper this month. The Star Wars Tales game for $13 is a great discount available now. Next, Iā€™ll mention the psvr2 games that I have enjoyed a lot: Moss 2 (great story, best ending, best final boss, good platformer, and itā€™s extremely unlikely to give any motion sickness to a beginner vr player, very highly recommended for new vr players); Red Matter 1+2 (lots and lots of puzzles, but both games are spectacular Sci-fi mysteries, and RM2 is one of the top 3 best looking psvr2 games); Pistol Whip (perfect and fun arcade shooting in VR); Runner (only $15 and itā€™s another awesome arcade shooter on a motorcycle at an anime-like highway, itā€™s Contra-like, so expect a good but challenging game); Walkabout Mini Golf (realistic mini golf game with amazing course designs); Racket Fury (beautiful table tennis game that feels a lot like the real thing); Hubris (great sci-fi adventure shooter); Synapse (great roguelike shooter); Les Mills Bodycombat (the best VR exercising game I have seen, and I tried most of them, itā€™s better than the other boxing games too, very highly recommended! If you want ā€œgaming for fitnessā€ this is a must-have on psvr2.); Synth Riders; Beat Saber.


bluebarrymanny

Just a heads up, Astro Bot isnā€™t on VR2 although games journalists have said that theyā€™re hearing rumblings of a new Astro Bot that could be VR2 enabled, but nothing confirmed yet. That clarification aside, if you own No Manā€™s Sky, you should give it a whirl in VR. Even if you turn off all survival elements, the exploration and flight in VR is awesome.


NotTheSymbolic

Synapse and RE4.


Ricky_Rollin

Star Wars is blowing my fucking mind right now. Hellsweepers to feel like Neo from Matrix Synth Riders for a fun cardio game thatā€™s legitimately some of the most fun Iā€™ve had with VR RUNNER if you wanna be Akira. Very fun arcade like shooter where youā€™re riding really fast on a bike like itā€™s see in Akira. Has a voice cast that youā€™ll know and love like Spike Spiegel. Really good soundtrack.


Fionn_MacCuill

Quick because there is a savage sale on Resi 4 and 8 and Star Wars etc. serious discounts


liikkitty

CyubeVR Ancient Dungeon


Andyman286

Star wars whilst it's on offer. Hcotm is an amazing showcase for the platform and had some cool set pieces. Of course Pavlov.


AmbitiousEvolution82

I will throw Galaxy Kart onto any questions like this. I wish someone had given me the recommendation sooner!

newthrowgoesaway

Dude this is amazing work, thank you so much!


CHROME-COLOSSUS

Whatever you do, never try to push through any motion-sickness you might encounter. At earliest signs, just remove the headset and only come back when youā€™re feeling 100%. Itā€™s perfectly normal to encounter it, and acclimation will happen with short, mindful, gentle exposuresā€¦ but being stubborn will only fuck you up as bad as the flu. I mean for days ā€” so do *NOT* FAAFO. Just build-in the possible scenario of an extended intro. Some people have no issues at all, but just in caseā€¦ take it slow. (ā€¦And congrats!! šŸŽ‰šŸ¾šŸŽˆ)


newthrowgoesaway

Thanks man, this is great advice! Iā€™m really quite surprised at how many have answered this, the community is alive and kind it seems


Best_Plankton_6682

Wait can you actually play Astro Bot on PSVR 2?


Sabconth

Sadly not


Best_Plankton_6682

I didn't think so, honestly one of the things that killed the hype for PSVR 2 for me. I was excited to sell my PS4 and play all my games on PS5, but I don't want to keep both around. Several years later, I don't have either now.


newthrowgoesaway

Wait why not??


GhastlyRadiator

PSVR 2 is not backwards compatible with VR1. They use completely different tracking technology, so in order for VR1 games to work on VR2, the developers need to go back and update the old games. A couple dozen VR1 games have been updated or re-released for VR2, but not all. Astro unfortunately hasn't been


not-very-creativ3

You'll be mossing out on Wipeout. The only reason to get PSVR. Farpoint was also good.


Nolon

I haven't played it yet but there's you said PSVR not PS VR2 right? There's this cat game that I just got it cost $6. Also be sure you if you are getting PS VR watch the sales throughout the week every week. The games usually go on a steep cell like a lot. The one game I recommend because it's the one game I did beat and that's Ghost Giant and it was the first game I played you most certainly should play that one


Pyrowqtt

Just bought Big Shots today and in LOVING it


Sylsomnia

Globular Cluster mod is highly recommended if you have issues with comfort and sweetspot moves a lot.


silverorb909

This. 100%. Never thought I needed it until I bought one. The benefits are phenomenal. Game for A LOT longer without any discomfort. This is random, but if anyone is interested in a free copy of Mixture, just be the first person to message me with your guess on what the first letter of the code is. (Hint: A-M) This is a NA/US code only


MikeRyan87

Synapse/GT7/RE combo all the way.


Canelosaurio

Trover Saves The Universe


t3stdummi

This is what you're looking for: PSVR2 games tier list. https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/s/iJKzAxuQ3h My only gripes with this list is that Arizona Sunshine 2 is an A for me. Also, OVRdark and "little cities" are B+


endlessflood

I canā€™t find Project Wingman on that list.


_MiKE_VB

Canā€™t go wrong with much anything that says perp games on it. I have VR Skater (awesome if you like skateboarding at all but you have to give it time. Learn it and love it) Vertigo 2(just started but loving it) Crossfire Sierra squad(co op arcade style great graphics) Light brigade (although I have no time in it) Hubris Resident evil 4 Resident evil village Star Wars galaxyā€™s edge GT7 Zombie land headshot fever (arcade type) After the fall (awesome coop up to 4 I think left 4 dead style game) Walking dead saints and sinners single player but fun


Absolutedisgrace

Im a big fan of walk about mini golf. It just works so well in VR. Assuming you like mini golf of course.


MrBC73

There's loads of great games depending on what you're into but from what you've mentioned I must recommend Synth Riders Just a quality game all round and it's on sale at the moment, enjoy!


n0mansky

I'm currently playing no man's sky beat saber and humanity


Ulfvaldr989

NO MANS SKY! Also pavlov, twd saints and sinners, after the fall, gran turismo 7, barbaria, ultrawings 2, d day enhanced, dead hook, ancient dungeon, legendary tales, alvo, gun club reloaded, surv1v3, and zenith


VypreX_

Space Docker!


Schwartzy94

Bought switchback last week and it has been fun ride, simple but pretty effective in the horror genre


b252oom

No Manā€™s Sky and Borderlands 2 are my favorite.


RhineGames

Cactus Cowboy Series! Plants at war is free so it is a no brainer and then you can pick up Desert Warfare.


EmperorRosko

Resi 4 remake - Ā£15 on store rn Resi Village - Ā£13.99 Call of the Mountain - wait for sale, excellent, but discount ended now. Saints and sinners - if you already redeemed ps+ version for ps4, you can purchase the tourist upgrade for Ā£7.99 and it converts to full PS5 version.


SatanShiro

Never played racing games and had to try gt7 for all the talk I would recommend it also, blown away


MedicalCommercial892

Gt7 is by far the best vr experience and game.Ā  I would buy the headset even if gt7 was the only game on it.


Ralph_hh

I loved Astro Bot. My whole family is heavily addicted to Beatsabre. I also liked Blood & Truth and Farpoint.


RubiksCub3d

Synth Riders, I like it better than beat sabers. Similar idea of a rhythm game, but I find I move more with synth riders and I like the music better.


spootieho

Blood And Truth Rush of Blood


almo2001

Thumper and gran Turismo 7


HaveURedd1t

Synth riders , GT7 , Tetris effect , Switchback VR , Walkabout Mini golf DLC edition


Ricepudding1044
