"I was completely taken aback by how well RIGS comes together. Although it has some issues to work out with future patches (mostly related to a content drought), as a symbol for the tech it's one of the best virtual reality joints out there, and not just for the PlayStation VR. Hell, it might be the most justified virtual reality game I've ever played." ... Read full review

"Rigs manages to deliver fun and thrilling online matches. While some may experience motion-sickness due to the fast-paced gameplay, Guerrilla has done everything to contain the problem. What holds Rigs from achieving greater scores is the small number of game modes, which could make the game boring after a short period of time." ... Read full review

"RIGS: Mechanized Combat League may be the posterchild for PlayStation VR, but it's not the headset's MVP. While this future sports sim has a strong art style and some interesting ideas, it struggles to get the business done where it matters – on the pitch. Nauseating action and mushy combat really cause this contender to drop points." ... Read full review

RIGS is one of the first if not the first FPS on PS VR and it sets the bar sky high. Not only that, but in my opinion it is the best PS VRRIGS is one of the first if not the first FPS on PS VR and it sets the bar sky high. Not only that, but in my opinion it is the best PS VR title available at this time and one of a very few that offer a long lasting experience which remains fun playing over time rather than a fun experience that you only play once and feel no need to go back to again.

When you first start playing you get a test rig that allows you to complete the tutorial and get used to the controls, but once you complete this you get to purchase your first rig. There are 4 base frames to choose between:
Sentinel: The tank, big, heavily armoured, but slow and can perform a slam jump which is a charged jump.
Hunter: The speedster, small, short, and very fast. What it lacks in it's jumping capability it makes up by being able to go through low height tunnels. enabling it to take shortcuts in various points on the maps.
Mirage: The all rounder, tall, agile, with decent armour and can double jump.
Tempest: It can fly, what it lacks armour and speed it makes up for being able to take off and hover.

There are multiple layouts for each frame each with it's own skills and weapons combination.

RIGS offers you three distinct game modes: "Team Deathmatch", "Endzone" and "Powerslam"

Team Deathmatch
This one kind of speaks for itself a team based carnage where you gain points by destroying opponents and assisting your team members in doing so, the team with the highest amount of kills by the end of the match wins.

Endzone
Football with giant robots, you have to grab the ball and get it through the goal on the opponents side of the map. You can steal the ball from opponents with melee and pass the ball to team members within range. The team with the highest amount of goals at the end wins.

Superslam
Almost like basketball, except that you are the ball. Near the center of the map high up there is a hoop. If you manage to destroy 3 opponents your rig goes in to overdrive for a limited time, while you are in overdrive you have to fight yourself all the way to the top and jump through the hoop to score a point and at the end the team that scored the most points wins.

RIGS is probably one of the better looking PS VR games available, everything is rendered in a beautiful slick, colorful and bright world, As you look around in the cockpit you can read the crisp letters on the components that make up the cockpit and the levels have a distinct look that makes it easy to keep track of where you are.

Surprisingly for a game where your character actually walks/runs around and jumps in the world though I felt a little woozy for a moment during the tutorials portion by the time I was out of the tutorial section I had fully adjusted and can comfortably play for hours The game also offers multiple comfort adjustments to allow you to customize the experience in a way that reduces the chance at any motion sickness. You can choose between turning using head motion or your right thumb stick, you can restrict the view when in motion and also turn off some effects in games that may negatively affect the experience for some players.

All I can say in the end is if you own PS VR this is the game to get and if you don't this game is why you should get it.… Expand

It is an amazing experience. Firstly don't buy into vr if you want to hurl on a theme ride generally. Or even if you go over a large humpy bridge to quick and find that it's a bit unsettling. Because really in this your in a giant robot and will regularly get jettisoned 100ft in the sky and yeah by the way the name virtual reality kinda gives away what you have in store. Graphics are fabulous really, fuzzy in places yes, but looking out into the distance is very immersive place. Gameplay here is key and once used to the game online. Every single match is nail biting and always open to turn around in a few short minutes. I really don't get the malaise with some at vr. This for me is a classic must have game. Fair too, which so often doesn't feel the case in online mp games.… Expand

i normally wanted to give this an 8 but because pretty much 70 percent of all vr games suck i gave this a 9
it really is awesome with cooli normally wanted to give this an 8 but because pretty much 70 percent of all vr games suck i gave this a 9
it really is awesome with cool arenas ( but to small ) and really cool combat and pretty lot to unlock
but also warning: you can feel sick in the beginning but if you get use to the game you will feel lesser sick
( but still don't play ùmore then 2 hours ).
o and i almost forget some nice graphics in my opinion
conclusion : an amazing (kinda titan specie game) that is maby the best vr game on the market with only a couple of negative points and a limited playtime to not get sick and iin my opinion afcourse not as great as titanfall 2 . but worth buying for every vr owner… Expand

I was looking for a game for shorter VR sessions from time to time - RIGS met these expectations. Although the career mode in the long runI was looking for a game for shorter VR sessions from time to time - RIGS met these expectations. Although the career mode in the long run does not give more motivation to fight the bots (skins and costumes) in smaller doses can make the evening even more pleasant. Both the games themselves and the testing of various types of mechs draw in. In the long run, however, there are certain disadvantages of the position such as a small variety of RIGS, or the lack of free configuration. They have probably influenced the falling popularity of this title in the network.

Let's get back to the campaign. In this mode, the most uncomfortable is the lack of the ability to issue instructions to our teammates. Despite the fact that the IS is doing well alone, it sometimes lacks the possibility of working out a coherent tactic such as defense of the goal or a common attack. Surprisingly, the rival teams are able to cooperate efficiently, especially in the higher leagues.

At the end it is worth emphasizing that if you have a problem with virtual reality, then you may have a problem with RIGS - so let's try a free demo before buying.

Advantages

Graphics
Dynamic gameplay
Intuitive control

Disadvantages

There is no possibility to configure RIGS
A small variety of mechs
You can not give commands to the team
There is no sparring mode

It's just a shooter with sport based game modes. It's very cool because of feeling vr gives you. I spent a lot of time playing it and had fun, but at the same time I knew, that I most likely wouldn't play it at all if the same game wasn't vr.
I give it 7 for
- good graphics, quite sharp like for vr game
- very nice feel of driving a robot
- interesting game modes (3 of them)
- good map design
- option to play with bots. This is very important in online games, since in many vr games it's barely possible to find someone to play with
- quite big replayability like for vr game

I wish it had more levels (it has just 3 levels if I remember correctly), and matches would load faster. It has unnecessary cut scenes between matches, maybe implemented there to give you some rest between gameplay to avoid simulation sickness. Overall, I recommend it. I find it much cooler than for example starblood arena.… Expand

Okay, I'm sorry I had to right this review, but I am utterly disappointed with this game and am currently trying to refund it. I have playedOkay, I'm sorry I had to right this review, but I am utterly disappointed with this game and am currently trying to refund it. I have played this for about 3 hours, and they sucked. First, the singleplayer. The first game I lost, which I was expecting, the next I tied. After that, I had enough to get better teammates, but they were terrible. We lost 8-1 and my team AI were utter garbage and sitting at the other side of the map while the other AI were sticking together and getting into overdrive every few seconds. I got 8 kills at the end of the game and was second place, bot of my team was last, and I didn't get overdrive even ONCE. Overdrive is needed to score a goal. Then the maps. The map design for the football game mode is BROKEN! The map design and spawn is TERRIBLE! It MUST be more diverse and have better spawn locations. The main reason I am doing this is because this game has a lack of content and is also broken and needs updates. I suggest that you wait before you buy this, because at its price point of $50, I would only pay $5 to play this broken game.… Expand
