The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR also throws the occasional puzzle into the mix, although they are never too involved or difficult, and is nothing your firearms can’t help you with. ![]() Each level starts players off with the standard dual pistols with unlimited ammo, but there are always more powerful weapons that can be obtained that have limited ammo.Ĭhoosing your targets then becomes a more strategic affair, do you unleash your full arsenal on whatever is in sight now, or conserve a little and utilize your pistol more so you are better prepared for more difficult horrors? The ability to change your perspective by moving around is also a neat implementation of the technology, ensuring that players are always kept on edge with enemies potentially approaching from a blind side, or get them moving in order to avoid certain obstacles. ![]() If you long for the days of spending time in the arcade shooting at targets while the game moves you through the environment, then welcome home. Why you are doing so is never answered, and while shooting things can be enjoyable, it can wear thin if there isn’t anything else engaging the player.Īt the very least, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR gets the gameplay right. Players are strapped onto a rollercoaster ride, destined to take them to many familiar locations found in The Dark Pictures Anthology, blasting ghouls and getting scared. While the mainline horror games tend to have a heavy emphasis on story, as they should, the narrative in The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is merely window dressing. ![]() It is with this approach that Supermassive Games is once again dipping into its horror well for another on-rails shooter, and while The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR keeps the action constant, it tends to go off track in other areas disappointingly. It is always nice to see a platform getting support in a way that takes advantage of its unique features, and for the PlayStation VR2, immersion and putting players front and center of the action is why VR gaming hits differently in comparison to the more traditional ways of playing.
