The big week is finally here! First Contact’s Firewall Zero Hour is now available on PSVR. But, as it turns out, that’s far from all that’s releasing on the headset this week. We’ve also got a suite of other big launches, each of which looks worth your time in their own right. This has to be the best week for PSVR launches since the headset itself came out two years ago.
Firewall Zero Hour, from First Contact Entertainment
Price: $39.99
The long-anticipated multiplayer shooter from the makers of ROM: Extraction is finally here. Firewall Zero Hour is an intense 4 vs 4 shooter that makes great use of PSVR’s Aim controller as players must strategize in attack and defend-style missions. This is a fast, frantic explosion of a VR game and absolutely one to pick up (it also works with the DualShock 4).
Bow to Blood, from Tribetoy
Price: $29.99
Bow to Blood is a fascinating mix of arena-based combat, ship micromanagement and relationship simulation. You’re a part of the Bow to Blood tournament and must fight your way up through the ranks over the course of seven events, making sure to keep other players happy in order to avoid being voted off. The unique mash-up of systems absolutely makes this worth checking out.
Torn, from Aspyr
Price: £29.99 (currently discounted)
An intriguing puzzle game with first-rate production values, Torn is a great VR debut from Aspyr. You explore the deserted mansion that once belonged to an inventor, uncovering his life’s work and just maybe discovering where he disappeared to. Engaging, if simplistic puzzles set a great pace and the writing is top notch, though the story suffers in the second half.
Catch & Release, from Metricminds
Price: $19.99 ($17.99 for PS Plus members)
If action isn’t your thing then how about a spot of VR fishing? Catch & Release is a relaxing fishing game in which you head out on a boat and snooze away the hours trying to get a good haul. We haven’t played it yet but the gorgeous visuals and soothing atmosphere definitely make it seem inviting.
Viking Days, from Naked Money
Price: $4.99
If you’re looking to save a little this week then Viking Days’ $4.99 certainly hits the right note. Also good news: This isn’t just a wave shooter! Instead its an appealing collection of mini-games, all designed to live out your Norse dreams. We especially like the look of the canyon-crossing level.
