PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of The Mountain™ Bundle (PSVR2)

The PSVR2 is incredibly impressive with stunning visuals and immersive gameplay. The headset is comfortable, and the experience is top-notch. However, the game selection could definitely use some improvement. The band didn't stick to my head well and would fall off, but wearing a sweatband fixed the issue.

As a disclaimer, I bought this PSVR2 on sale for 350$ and the rest of this review will be reflective of THIS price point. At 550$ My rating would drop by one star, but that is for another day.Comfort (4.5/5):So, I’ve only ever owned this VR headset and the Quest 2. I don’t know how it compares to other headsets, but I have always found it to be comfortable enough for a couple of hours without issue. I know that there’s a strap you can buy if you find that it slips during high movement games or depending on your head shape.Library(4.5/5):Taking into consideration the games coming out this year and the fact that this headset probably has at least two more years of content coming to it. I’m happy to say that most of you will be happy with the library! The only issue here is that it doesn’t have Half Life: Alyx. But, given the new PC adapter you find access to two PC (Steam)!Ease of use/installation(5/5):If you use this on PlayStation, there is like ZERO setup (aside from initial or compared to some PC headsets). I’ve personally never had issues with using it or connecting it. I have also never had the controller issues that some people have had, though *OCCASIONALLY (once or twice every dozen hours) I do get controller tracking hiccups from it. But ultimately it is very good and reliable.Graphics(5/5):Now, before anyone is a smart but, no it is not better than a 2-3 THOUSAND dollar setup. If you have money go buy something else. What I am telling you, is if you already bought a PS5/Pro for OTHER reasons then this 350$ price point is an AMAZING offer. The graphics look good and crisp thanks to foviated rendering. It also runs at a consistent 120 fps in the games that I have played it on, which is mainly Arizona Sunshine 1 & 2, GT7, Metro: Awakening, Beat Saber, and No Mans Sky! So I *personally get NO motion sickness.Price(5/5):At 350$, PSVR2 makes a fantastic purchase and a great headset. It’s only real competitor at this price point is Quest 3, which is great as well but for different audiences. However, if you are reading this after the sale the I would say WAIT! The headset is great but it is missing a Alyx sized game to justify 550$

Be wary of buying this as USED.I bought this as a used item that was fulfilled by Amazon and advertised in “very good” condition for about $290. It was not cleaned at all from the previous owner, the headphone buds were covered in ear wax, it almost made me gag. But after I washed and wiped everything with alcohol swabs, it looked as good as new.However, the unforgivable part is that this used item was sold as a bundle and advertised to include a voucher for Horizon Call of the Mountain, but no vouchers came in the box. It seems the previous owner probably already used it, but the seller still tried to pass it off as if the game was included. After contacting Amazon support, they said my only option was to return the entire purchase for a refund. I wasn’t about to do that, considering the actual VR headset and controllers still worked like new.Aside from my complaints about purchasing this as used… this is my first ever VR headset, and my overall impression is that it’s extremely awesome but also overwhelming to use. I get why people both love it and also can’t handle it. The graphics are incredible, immersive, and 3D thanks to stereoscopic lenses, but it also overwhelms the senses and easily makes you nauseous.I made it less than 20 seconds in Gran Turismo before I felt an immediate sense of nausea, took it off, and grabbed some motion sickness pills (Dramamine). After that, I was no longer nauseous, but it’s still a very intense experience in other ways. I could only spend 15 minutes at a time wearing it before I had to take it off and catch my breath, relax my eyes, and just sit and chill for a while. But, man, while you are using it, it is absolutely an incredible visual experience.
