If you're new to Sony's latest VR headset then read detailed PSVR 2 review and also catchup on other games for this new technology, including our Horizon Call of the Mountain review, Sony's own blockbuster game for this headset. But as far as space blasting firefights go, this is a tactile delight more often than not. Jedi challenges (the titular ‘tales’) add some extra variation, though simply waggling a death stick around isn’t all that exciting (at other points you use lightsaber and Force skills to solve puzzles). However, a change of pace for the climax ensures things end on a high note. Laser blaster fights are fun but the weapons can feel alike, and Jedi duels are an extra mode (Image credit: TM & © Lucasfilm Ltd) While those are essentially simple interactions, the non-abstract nature of, say, using the kit’s screwdriver function to loosen bolts or its zap to restore the health of your floating orb friends is a marvellous touch.Įverything around you is incredibly detailed, and it’s a joy not only to look at (holding gear up to your face to look at the worn textures or browsing a set of old droids is irresistible) but to interact directly with. Simply using your All-kit to pop open item caches or open doors to progress is a joy. You even get used to shooting pretty fast, and pulling off a Han Solo-like quick draw of a blaster feels great, as does realising you’re out of charge and hurling it at an exposed Rodian mercenary’s skull.Ī combination of free move and teleport options plus a zippy thruster pack allows you to stay mobile, though free movement can feel a bit dizzying when playing in standing mode (we opted for seated in the end, which adjusts your height up). It’s testament to how well the controls work that though you may be cautious at first, you quickly find yourself ducking behind cover, switching weapons between hands, and juggling other items just like you would in real life (though probably in a less fraught situation). ![]()
