   Fan de Rush of Blood, j'attendais ce deuxième opus avec impatience, et j'ai adoré. Bien plus long que le précédent, avec des tasFan de Rush of Blood, j'attendais ce deuxième opus avec impatience, et j'ai adoré. Bien plus long que le précédent, avec des tas d'embranchement mais surtout des personnages à sauver (auront une importance pour la fin), des défis par dizaines bien pensés, et surtout des tas de bonnes idées de gameplay en font un titre incontournable.
   Il utilise le eye tracking à la perfection (des ennemis n'agissant que si on cligne des yeux), une ambiance excellente et des niveaux vraiment différents.
   Vive le PSVR2 qui n'a jamais aucune perte de localisation (rush of blood finissait toujours par partir en sucette).
   Techniquement il est largement plus abouti que son aîné avec des effets de brumes ou des personnages hyper détaillés.
   Mes seuls reproches:
   1/ les séquences scénaristiques entre les niveaux hyper flous (pas compris pourquoi c'était si moche) et sans grand intérêt
   2/ le dernier boss de Rush of blood était bien plus impressionnant et sympa
   
   J'ai du mal à comprendre les critiques qui lui sont faites. Pour les fans de trains fantômes, foncez.… Expand

I would say this was my most anticipated PSVR2 game, and sadly I am very disappointed. I waited to comment till I finished it.
   
   The game doesn't really build on what made Rush (ROB) so great. No demented carnival/circus theme, which was brilliant, and was the theme they should have gone with. Instead, we have this cryptic barely passable subway stuff that doesn't come together until the end, and doesn't really thrill you, it's in fact boring. if they didn't have it, the game would be better actually, just the bad guy talking to you directly would be better.. The lead villain isn't scary, not imposing, and more annoying with its attempt at scares. I understand it's based on dark pictures, but could have still used the carnival theme.
   
   The whole fun of ROB was the coaster and shooting gallery feel, the shooting is kind of boring in comparison, no targets, just yellow pentagrams on generic items. No fancy coaster moments really, a few minor moments but not a lot of it. Shouldn't a coaster game have some amazing coaster moments, like going underwater, getting an unusual weapon during it, etc.
   
   The ancient temple was easily the best location in the game, really needed more of that! The merry go round part that required saving or killing was very annoying though. Did not care for the puzzles at all. Taking guns away, stopping the coaster, both bad ideas. It should be constant action!
   
   Whoever thought placing moments in the game where making one wrong move or not doing something right will kill you needs their heads examined. THIS IS A SHOOTING GALLERY game, not a survival horror game. It doesn't feel good to die and watch the slow reload page over and over again until you figure it out. This game loads like a ps4 title, ps5 games should load much quicker.
   The idea should be to keep you engaged constantly, no long track moments with nothing interesting to shoot or cool coaster moments not implemented. It really takes you out of the game and moment seeing that loading screen.
   
   No real interesting weapons, same ol guns, no mini crossbow, bolt guns, guns that shoot blood or pumpkins, lightning, fire, ice, or body parts, etc. One gun at the end was sort of interesting, again not animated, not that useful except that level. The flare gun, electric gun. ultraviolet/infrared/blacklight guns were annoying. I would rather not have to deal with the blacklight with no battery life gun. Those environment guns made me have just one real gun to shoot with, I didn't care for that. The flare gun should have been utilized to kill things instead of worrying about the environment
   
   Saving people is great, but the dying and going back till I save them is so annoying and frustrating. never do anything that takes the player out of the experience!
   
   The graphics are a major disappointment, this looks like a psvr 1 game. The textures seem low resolution and blurry, the shimmering aliasing is all over the place. I also bought Horizon, RE Village, GT7, Synth Riders, Kayak vr, and Pistol whip, and it looks far worse than all those. The videos online made it look beautiful, but in the game it's like 2016 all over again. lots of popup and texture loading.
   
   I hope they make another, but listen to the fans of ROB and do it better next time, or make this one what it should be.
   
   They should also take the coaster shooter formula and make a scifi, cyberpunk, fantasy, history based outlandish style, etc. i'd love to see a bioshock style game like this, an assassins creed jumping through history locations style game, a cyberpunk 2077 or bladerunner style game, a 80's inspired arcade, a true non scary demented circus style game, so many possibilities here.
   
   Such a disappointment, could have been so much more.… Expand

   I found this game disrespectful to the end user: Low resolution, heavy popping, absurd changes of LOD right in front of you, framerate issues,I found this game disrespectful to the end user: Low resolution, heavy popping, absurd changes of LOD right in front of you, framerate issues, PS4 loading times, poor attention to detail (fire as a wall animated texture like a PS1 era), 3D audio completely broken to the point you can’t know when an enemy is hitting you from side…
   
   The funny thing is that Rush of Blood didn’t had any of this issues and ran in a PS4 base hardware.
   
   About the game itself, feels way worse than Rush of Blood. The pacing is off, the art direction is poor, the enemies are boring and ¡it’s not scary at all!
   
   Note: It doesn’t use foveated rendering which might helped.… Expand

   Divertido y rejugable, pero con muy baja resolución, borroso es decir poco. No marea nada. No está al nivel del resto de juegos de psvr2.

   This game is a huge pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $40 for a campaign that lasts about 3 hours. Are you freaking kiddingThis game is a huge pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $40 for a campaign that lasts about 3 hours. Are you freaking kidding me? The graphics look like a PS3 game. Keep in mind that this is a PSVR2 game. The physics are beyond horrible. The sound effects are a joke. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. The animations are laughable. Speaking of which, the laughs are cringeworthy. The soundtrack is generic horror B-movie trash.
   
   There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the game, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $40 for an extremely short game with no replay value is a cash grab. And the greedy developers had the audacity to double the price of this game. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood was $20 at launch, now they want $40. For what, for being greedy and lazy? I expect big improvements at that price. I don't recommend this joke of a $40 tech demo at all, unless you want to support laziness.… Expand
