Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV (2017): Pese a sus limitaciones (Una historia cortísima, no tiene subtítulos en castellano...) me lo he pasado realmente bien jugándolo. Es la experiencia de pesca más inmersiva que he visto en un videojuego, y eso siempre es bueno (6,85)
I feel like the first step of making a VR fishing game is making sure the casting actually works. Apparently, Square Enix didn't get that memo with Monster of the Deep because its motion-controlled casting mechanics are barely functional. In fact, most of this game is barely functional, with its often abysmally low resolution and barebones fishing mechanics. The only good parts are that it's funny how the player arms just streeeeetch as you reach out and that some of the boss fights are actually kind of cool.
It's a shame this is stuck on PSVR because there's a fun wee game there, but it's buried beneath such blurry and jaggy visuals that it's only really good for a first class ticket to migraine town.
