    No need to splash the cash: here's a no-fuss, free party game collection for all ages, and with some style. Even the weaker games will be short-lived hits. [Christmas 2016, p.97]

    The Playroom VR offers a good variety of experiences, which allow the use of Sony's virtual reality headset with family and friends in a very fun way.

    The PlayRoom VR is a collection of five little games, and a free exhibition of the VR capabilities.

    The PlayRoom VR is the proof that VR can be a family thing, and not something dedicated for solo nerdy people. If the content seems light don't forget that the game is ready, and an excellent way to introduce VR to newcomers and family alike.

    The Playroom VR is a good collection of couch co-op mini-games that demonstrate the capabilities of the VR headset superbly. Although a few of the games you'll play once and never touch again, Robots Rescue is a standout experience that you'll wish was a fully-fledged game in itself.

Playroom has been very supportive of there work since the launch of PS4. for them to do this again in VR and the mini games that are out will make it worth trying out VR.

    This free game    Great and fun for a group of people(2-3 people actually). Playroom VR contains 5 games and a playroom for collections.

    This free game really demonstrates a lot of ways on how to make funny games with the new Virtual Reality tech. And so far, this is the only PSVR game I see that uses the TV as a second screen for VR headset and
    becomes a local multiplayer game.

    Well, the downside is, these games got boring quickly and the "Rescue Robot" game is a little bit dizzy for the VR player. This shouldn't be a problem since it is just a free demo for the new tech.    … Expand
