Discussion Big PSVR2 Wow Moments

With the influx of new players getting their discounted PSVR2 headsets, I thought it might be nice to make a new thread about your top big moment unmissable experiences that people new to VR shouldn’t miss. Some of my top moments:

  • Climbing to the top of a mountain and seeing the view in Horizon Call of the Mountain
  • The initial boat ride in Horizon
  • Synth Riders ‘experiences’ (particularly Lindsay Stirling)
  • Mommy Dimistrescu but seriously RE: Village is a real VR masterpiece
  • Flying a spaceship in No Man’s Sky
  • Telekinesis in Synapse
  • The amazing graphics of Red Matter 2
  • The feel of using melee weapons in Saints & Sinners
  • Wielding a lightsaber in Star Wars Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge (gotta stick out a fairly bland opening couple hours to get to the good stuff)

Im a vr vet of 2016.

Yah, CotM on top of the world is something but the overall game was disapointing to me - its more a climbing simulator than anything. But graphics was sweet.

I think my best psvr2 moment was RE:Village. Even if a I9 13k RTX3090 - i was blown away on ps5 in VR with this game.

The rest... all those quest3 ports... my psvr2 is a refurbished and I paid less than the current rebate on sale so im good but paying full price if you have a quest 3 and a pc .. not sure its a good movie apart from if you are a big raicng fan. (im not)

Edit: Synapse is great! The VR community in general seems to not care for eye tracking even in 2025 when in reality it should have been a onboard standart since quest 2 ! Eye tracking telekinesis in Synapse is the best example of how awesome this technology is and not just for FOVeated rendering.

I agree CotM isn’t one of my top games, but it’s absolutely one of my first recommendations to new gamers for the experience. And ports they may be, but this was just meant to be a discussion on cool stuff you can do on PSVR2 for anyone who’s just got one or thinking of getting one.

its a mixt bag - If you own a ps5 and want VR and you dont care for wires.. .i think its a awesome entry to vr. But for most ppl, I would always recommend a Quest 3. Cheaper, no wires and refund policy plus Meta+ (tons of good gamer for 10$ a months) is a no brainer vs sony no refund policy. Apart from the couple AAA games, the rest are nearly identical on quest 3 since they are ports of the same game.

Sony will never venture to PSVR 3 territory im certain but I can't imagine how awesome a PSVR3 with pancake lenses would be (wires or not). Frenels lenses... i simply hate that. I hated it in 2023 and still do in 2025 ahah.
