Can't wait to play this on drugs

Even without a PSVR2 set, I was able to get "in the zone", completely submerged in the visuals and music. I can't even imagine the experience of playing in VR.

Sadly, the new native version for PS5 doesn't have any obviose new features. If you already played it and enjoyed it in other system, no need for this one.

De-rezzed

Why is a fucking rail shooter making me cry?

(Played on a PS4 Pro with PSVR. Probably the 60th time I've beat the game since originally playing Rez HD.)

Moar plz

very good just short (and the main game is a port that amazingly fits this medium) and really simple and easy so there isnt too much replay value. would love to play shooting games like Astebreed, sin and punishment etc in VR. the neat thing here is the mixed control scheme in both gsmes (classic and area x). you use …

very good just short (and the main game is a port that amazingly fits this medium) and really simple and easy so there isnt too much replay value. would love to play shooting games like Astebreed, sin and punishment etc in VR. the neat thing here is the mixed control scheme in both gsmes (classic and area x). you use a wand like a wimote and aimpoint your lock on reticule, while also may use head tracking to override your wand movement. the result is pretty nice for a shooting game.

game factor: 4
experience factor: 4
length/replay: 2
physical intensity: 1

  • Campaign is way too short
  • Mechanics are probably too simple for serious Rail Shooter enthusiasts

Nostalgia breached; Analyzing Remaster

The protagonist character of Rez, in one of their later evolutions, approaches the end of the game's first subsystem

Rez is a synesthetic cyberpunk rails shooter designed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, initially inspired by the works of Bauhaus painter Wassily Kandinsky and originally developed for the Sega Dreamcast. Those that know me could probably predict my enjoyment of the game from that sentence alone.

Rez is a synesthetic cyberpunk rails shooter designed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, initially inspired by the works of Bauhaus painter Wassily Kandinsky and originally developed for the Sega Dreamcast. Those that know me could probably predict my enjoyment of the game from that sentence alone.

Rez Infinite is the third and best incarnation of the game I've played (the other two being on PlayStation 2 and the Xbox 360). It remains (IMO) Mizuguchi's most self-contained and focused work, and a testament to how well stylized aesthetics and straightforward mechanics tend to age.

Area X was fun, but its emphasis on particles over polygons did not impress me as much as the main game. That said, I was not able to play in VR, which seems like the preferred method of play for this mode.
