Vertigo 2

Vertigo 2 is undoubtedly one of the standout games for PlayStation VR 2 and a must-play for shooter fans. It's safe to say that until Half-Life: Alyx arrives on PlayStation 5, this is the next best option for a story-driven shooter.

Vertigo 2 is a charming game which had me itching to play more, with great writing and replayability.

Vertigo 2 is a beautifully quirky and genuinely fun action-adventure game that you'll enjoy on your first playthrough, and can return to again and again for slightly different experiences. It's a shame, of course, that there are a few minor niggles, and that the game might run out of steam towards the end.

Once you temper your expectations – it looks more like a last-generation title than the hard realism of Half-Life: Alyx – Vertigo 2 packs enough thrills to justify its mid-range price tag.

Vertigo 2 is packed with great ideas. Being built specifically for VR, there is a nice layer of tactility with the inventory and reload systems. There are plenty of wonderful set pieces that make a bunch of memorable moments throughout the well-paced campaign. Although the visuals are dated and bugs will crop up from time to time, it’s still a wonderful, ambitious game.

Vertigo 2 is an excellent FPS in virtual reality. The quality of the game, especially visible in terms of level design and gunplay, is reconfirmed on PlayStation VR 2. Unfortunately, several bugs and glitches make the experience less enjoyable.

Vertigo 2 is a decent and lengthy VR shooter, but it comes up short when compared to other PSVR 2 games. It's a big game by a solo developer, filled with varied environments, weapons and enemies, but it's just not as refined as the best VR games. Still, it's well worth a look if you fancy a bit of a VR shooter romp.
