I'm streaming some more PSVR2 stuff:
No Man's Sky
The Light Brigade
Tetris Effect Connected
Thumper
I'll do the other games I have tomorrow afternoon, which should include GT7, Job/Vacation Simulator, and that Cactus game.
Edit: While the videos for the last three games on the list are uploading, I'll post impressions of all four.
No Man's Sky is a great VR version for PSVR2. They've overhauled a lot of what I remember from the bits of the game I played in PSVR and it feels a lot more natural with the Sense controllers and the added stability of the PS5 version to base it on. I had no issues moving around without any nausea issues as you have generous teleport capabilities and full 360 movement. You navigate your inventory and quick menu stuff from your offhand glove, which is like what Cosmonious High does. The issues I had was somewhat inconsistent ability to pull out my mining gun from my back, so I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. The menu stuff can be hard to see since the glove menus are just hovering above it and not stationary, plus some of the in-world menus hovering above your material crafter and machines around the world can spawn menus inside of them to make it hard to see what you're doing. The pause menu for quests, tutorials, and all that is just stationary in the world, but not anything else. Those are relatively small issues and I'm guessing they'll get addressed in updates over time, so the rest of what I experienced was absolutely above my expectations for this game in PSVR2.
Thumper is pretty much the same game as on PSVR, so you'll know whether the $5 upgrade is for you. It pulls in the PS4 save, so you can unlock the same trophies as before and continue where you left off. It's still a great game and worth it for rhythm game fans that want a more intense game to challenge them.
The Light Brigade much like No Man's Sky really surprised me. This is a roguelite shooter where you are more realistically handling guns with a Batman-style belt for storing ammo, a handful of items, and a few other things that I'm not sure what they are for just yet. I'm not used to the gun handling yet, but it is a handful as you have to manage your ammo to know when you throw a clip away and put in a new one to get ready for more combat. You can use both hands to steady your aim and aim down the sight for your best chance at nailing the shot, which I'm definitely not good at yet. You can pick up some guns that enemies drop when they die, which can save you ammo for a bit since they're not refillable. There are lots of pickups around the world including chests you can open and pots you can smash or shoot to get the gold, ammo, or whatever the XP is called. At the end of each area when you've cleared out all enemies, it has you deposit that XP to level up your class and you can start to see the longer upgrade game in the camp. It has a lot of options for making the controls work for you and I found a good set-up that isn't too nausea-inducing for me with a lot of skipping and teleporting for my movement options.
Tetris Effect Connected, much like Thumper and Rez Infinite, are basic ports with good upgrades for PS5 that are worth the fees if you want a prettier version to enjoy in and out of the headset. This release/update adds a few more modes for the leaderboard modes, which also support the PS5 system level leaderboards so that everybody can see how poorly you do in the various modes.
