With PSVR receiving a moderate showing at Sony’s E3 conference this year, there’s plenty to look forward to for the platform, but if you’re looking for the next title to pick up right now, Arizona Sunshine will likely satisfy most players, provided you can stand the occasionally squiffy controls and disappointing look of the environments. The story, while simple, is punctuated with enough commentary from your character to make it enjoyable and when everything clicks into place, the gunplay does feel great. At a mid-range price point, it may be asking a little much for the game’s 3-4 hour playtime, but there’s plenty of action packed into that time to make Arizona Shunshine a worthwhile addition to your VR library.
Psychonauts: In the Rhombus of Ruin is a remarkably enjoyable romp through some interesting and intriguing environments, with a largely enjoyable story and occasional moments of brilliance. While it lets itself down with a short run-time and a lack of variety or depth, these issues do little to detract from what is otherwise a brilliant VR debut for the Psychonauts series. It may not give your PS4, nor your brain, too much of a workout, but it’ll do enough to keep you interested right to the end. And with Psychonauts 2 currently scheduled for release in 2018, Psychonauts: In the Rhombus of Ruin is the perfect way for long-time fans to revisit old friends, and for series newcomers to meet the gang in preparation for it.
