I can't think of a better way to implement VR into Resident Evil 4 everything works great, looks great and most importantly plays great.
The is the first port of a non vr game I've ever seen to its completion in vr. It's very clear that this is a port. It could never provide the same level of consistency as a native game built from the ground up. The game cuts to third person very often, the world is static and not interactive, and cutscenes play on a screen in a black void. The implementation certainly has its shortcomings, however, when it hits it hits.
Climbing onto the back of a giant and wiggling my arm like a maniac to slash its weak spot and physically leaning left and right to keep a minecart on the tracks while shooting at enemies were some of the coolest experiences I've had in vr, all packed in a meaty campaign with a budget nearly no vr game could hope to get.
For every cut to third person I wished I could do myself the game surprised me with a mechanic they took the time to retool and let you do in vr leaving me to wonder why some things were left untouched (let me climb ladders!). Even little things have really nice attention to detail. For example, there's a puzzle towards the end of the game that has you controlling a computer screen with a controller. In vr they actually give you a slider and a button on the machine itself. That's really neat!
Honestly, I prefer playing this game in vr for the weapon reloading alone. It's well proven that gun combat is much more intense when you have to fiddle around with magazines yourself. The weapons in general were given a lot of attention and it shows. Each one handles differently, has different ways to reload, and work really naturally with motion controls. The knife is really cool also, with the player being allowed to stab enemies themselves for finishing blows and physically blocking attacks with it to parry. In the beginning the cut to third person for the roundhouse kick really bothered me. Don't get me wrong, it's not ideal, but I got used to it as the game went on. This is just a really cool way to experience this game.

Probably the best game you can play on PSVR2 at the moment. Takes advantage of the headset's strengths: perfect blacks as this game takes place in a dark setting and blinding lights when using a flash grenade.
Many accessibility features, I recommend turning on the laser sight, makes the game more enjoyable.
Has some of the best moments I've seen in VR, for me the cart rides and the jetski segments were the highlight. So much fun.
The game does have moments when it goes into third person, while getting hit or performing certain actions, but it's not that bad. I wonder if there was a way to make this game entirely third person.
Some context sensitive animations could have used a bit of work, for example if you trigger a stabbing animation with the knife while holding it in the left hand, it always plays out using the right hand. Not a big deal though.
A must play for any psvr2 owner.

At first i thought VR mode for RE4 would kind of be a mess since its more fast pace than RE7 and RE8, but surprisingly its one of the better VR RE games.
Had fun playing, but i had to take a star off because it goes into 3rd person when Leon kicks enemies. Like i get why but shit like that takes away some of the experience.
