    One of my very favorite PSVR games so far

    The Persistence has quickly become not only one of my favorite PSVR games, but also just one of my favorite PS4 games in general. There are currently quite a few very good PSVR games available, but a lot of them are somewhat short or have small development teams, which means they sometimes don't feel as polished as larger releases for the PS4. The Persistence is one of the PSVR games that could compete with any current gen video game for story, graphics, length, polish, and overall game design. The game is dripping with atmosphere, and is one of the most immersive VR games I've played to date. While it doesn't currently allow use of the Move or Aim controllers, the immersion in this game is so good that lack of motion controls hasn't bothered me in the least. And the atmosphere invokes plenty of tension and dread, which in this case, is a good thing. It's also very rewarding to upgrade your character, even though you'll die a lot, to get stronger and more able to deal with enemies. Overall, I'd place this in my top 2 or 3 favorite PSVR games, and I currently have a library of about 35 to 40 games for the PSVR. I highly recommend this game if you like atmosphere with some tension and good scares, and not just jump scares. I hope to see more from these developers in the future.

    freakishly good

    One of the best survival horror games on PSVR and also its one of the hardest ones out there. Limited on ammo,limited on supplies,you must make your way through the ship in order to find the items needed to advance, but die once and its all over

    A good horror game for PSvr

    Its hit enough of the sweet spots to make a good horror game for PSvr. Its got a lot of the tension and timing done right. Worth a Play-through if you have invested in the VR setup.
