![]() Levels are based directly on the mainline Dark Pictures games, so the locations, themes and enemies within will be familiar enough to fans to make the otherwise-threadbare plot here feel worth seeing through. ![]() For those craving a unique take on the on-rail arcade shooter with some genuinely spooky moments peppered among the cheap thrills and jump scares, this is definitely going to be more enticing.Īnd although exactly zero fans of the studio’s Dark Pictures Anthology games play them in the hopes of getting into some pulse-pounding, action-packed shooting (maybe someone does but if so they’re Clive Barker-ing up the wrong Triffid), they’d still do well to give this a go for all of the inclusions from those games. If the idea of a spooky rollercoaster ride with guns in VR doesn’t excite you, then this game probably won’t. I guess it’s worth bringing up that I thoroughly enjoyed the previous Supermassive PlayStation VR game, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, and Switchback VR follows very closely in those same virtual footsteps. The bottom line, though? I fucking love this game. Unfortunately, given my lateness to the game I haven’t actually been able to form a comparison between the game’s previous and newly-patched states but I can speak to what Supermassive lists as being improved upon now and give an overall view of the state of Switchback VR. It’s a big enough deal, in fact, that the studio gave us early access to the patch to try ahead of it dropping – something I don’t think I’ve seen before in a PlayStation release. Then, initial reviews painted a picture of a game that, while carrying some solid ideas and neat PS VR2-based features wasn’t exactly essential playing on the system.įast-forward many months, and Supermassive Games has come back swinging with a brand-new major update that aims to (super)massively improve some of the game’s more egregious issues. The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR had my attention since it was announced and in the lead-up to launch, but with so many new and exciting games to cover it’s one that managed to slip my grasp.
