Holy shit this rules. Got this free on PS+ ages ago and just put it on today as a quick in-betweeny game while I waited for something else to download. This was such a great surprise. The time stopping/ slowing mechanic turns first person combat into a quick thinking puzzle experience. It feels like you’re a stunt coordinator simulating action scenes in a slick martial arts action film like John Wick or Hardboiled.

Framing the action is a very effective kind of retro bootleg computer hacker set up that I found really effective. There’s a very simple but compelling narrative, toying with ideas of going where you’re not supposed to, obedience to authority and the whole idea of playing games and what that does with your brain. It’s vibey. I’ve never been that interested in VR games but I can see how if there’s many like this they could be a phenomenal experience.

I’m a good dog.
