    Déraciné has a fantastic atmosphere and wonderful storytelling. It utilizes VR and PlayStation Move to create a type of interaction not seen in other games. The innocence characters show to the player add a warm and friendly feeling to what is already a fascinating adventure game.

    Deracine’s initially dulcet tone certainly won’t be for everyone but scratch below the surface and you’ll discover a VR adventure that heads in some fascinating new directions. It’s a bizarre beast, placing the ambiguity From Software is known for in the front and center but, despite its often ham-fisted dialogue, it finds genuinely powerful moments of connection as it weaves a memorable yarn.

    Deracine is one of the better experiences on the PSVR with a compelling story and some interesting gameplay. It feels like a complete experience from start to finish and has an interesting world that begs to be explored further.

    Both plot and atmosphere are good in Déraciné, but its puzzles won't make you work too hard.

    Déraciné is a slow build with little in the way of VR gimmicks or challenge but come its conclusion I was satisfied with how the tale played out.

    Déraciné isn't really a true VR title as the VR doesn't bring much to the experience. Still it's an enjoyable ride as From Software has loads of know-how in terms of narrative and artistic direction.

    Déraciné is one of the finest examples yet of someone setting out to create a VR game before actually finding out what's fun or interesting to do when you have a headset on your head and motion tracked controllers in your hands. Although comfortable to play and decent looking, the game is designed in a way that perfectly deprives the player of any agency, leaving it as little more than a point and click simulator where you watch a woefully scattered story about characters you have no reason to care about. If nothing else, Déraciné offers up several concrete examples of how not to design a VR game.

What I found, however, was one of my favorite interactive experiences, a simple but deeply personal story about the value of time. There is no problem with simple mechanics like those found in point and click or visual novel games, only a critical scenario that is obsessively blinded by its belief that there is a canonical evolution of game mechanics and graphics that sees games with minor focus on player skills as less valuable and hinders entire genres like JRPGs as obsolete. I am very gratified for trusting in Miyazaki to create distinct experiences instead of doing what others believe he is good at. Especially considering we are talking about a director that is known for creating some of the hardest action games that greatly impacted our industry. I am looking forward to being positively surprised once again in Sekiro.… Expand

It's a mystery which become absolutely clear for you only at the very end of the game. And the truth is not that good as in fairy tales for children. Gameplay is sort of relaxing, there is no rush, it's sort of point and click game. Graphics is good as far as you understand the hardware possibilities. It would be great if game has more interactive items but for the first try it's ok. Looking forward for next game of Hidetaka :)… Expand

It is a really well developed adventure game that uses interesting controls and weaves a very melancholy story. In order to get the most out of the story you must be willing to explore and experiment. It will be very disappointing if you try to rush this game. It has a slow, contemplative pace but weaves a very interesting fantasy tale of faeries in an English manor. The visuals are wonderful and the story is as engaging and as deep as you are willing to explore.

    For those who are considering getting Deracine based on the experience with Dark Souls, etc. (which I love dearly) need to understand that Deracine has no combat - it is a purely narrative and exploration experience.    … Expand

The story is uninteresting and makes little sense, and while the atmosphere of the house is well done, the game does little with it. I struggled to spend the 4-5 hours to beat it, and when I did, it went immediately into the garage sale.… Expand
