Red Matter 2 | PSVR2 REVIEW 

They weren’t exaggerating when they said the visual clarity is the best out of every other PSVR2 game , it looks phenomenal. I’m in love.

Sony should secure this studio. This is the level of quality we want for Hybrid AAA VR First Party Sony games. And Sony should want too, if they aim to make VR mainstream.

This is the first game I’ve played that shows a truly 4K-like image resolution . PSVR2 is sooooo worth it after seeing how good this game looks and plays. It legit looks crisper than any other VR game I’ve played. Can’t express how impressed i am with the visuals. Feels so real.

*I own the meta 2 version and the PSVR2 version..I can say honestly that there is a difference and it will make you feel really good about spending that much $ on the PSVR2…and just think..the PSVR2 had only been out for almost 3 months..not even half a year yet! This is a MUST BUY!*

Just got a PSVR2. I've bought and played almost every game that's worth buying. This is the best one. Absolutely insane. Feels like you're in that b. It's surreal. I can''t even believe something like this exists. As someone that started gaming during Atari as a child, I have watched games evolve for almost 4 decades. This is a huge leap. Once they perfect this technology, there will be no other way to play. Check out the Tetris game too. Really insane as well. Not as insane as RM2, but insane.

First time I've ever skipped directly to the score so as not to spoil anything. Been refreshing the store since around 11 waiting on the chance to get this one loaded.

Just bought it on day 1. I will always support game developers who try to create realistic graphics instead of the cartoon trend we're seeing everywhere.

Sony needs to hire this company to make AAA games.

I would not have purchased Red Matter 2 if it weren't for PSVR Without Parole. I could not believe how clear and crisp the visuals are in this game. I did not know it could get any better! Thank you and can't wait for the PS Showcase!

I just sat there in awe admiring the graphics of the rocky rings around the planet.

My left controller is broken so I can’t play. Please Sony let us buy controllers individually. I don’t want to return it because I can still play games like Thumper, Rez, walkabout, etc. So I’d rather just play those then have to wait a month to get it repaired

Just been in vr2 with this title. It's so crisp and immersive. One of the best experiences I have had on sony's headset. (I have most of the titles on the system). The music makes it feel epic 2. The hardest issue I had was not listening to the narrative to know what to do next...because I was to busy taking in all the graphics and things to play with.

I loved Red Matter 1 on PSVR, and am so pleased the sequel is reviewing so well...another one to add into the backlog ASAP! 😅 Fingers crossed there will also be a Red Master Re-Matter announced too soon, eh Bryan?!

These graphics are legit fantastic. Theres a solidity to the architecture and everything is so crisp.

That screen graphic at the end 5:40 is the absolute bee's knees in all y'all's reviews. Absolutely brilliant. 💯

This is the kind of game I bought a PSVR2 for. I've only played the first hour but it blew my mind. This is now the standard that all devs should work towards.

OK, I couldn't wait. I bought it. Holy fuck. This is what eye tracked foveated rendering can do for clarity, astounding. And they use so many graphical tricks to make it feel really tangible, the reflections and wear on surfaces... So good.

I think the devs NAILED the limits of psvr2 in regards to polygon count, lighting, distance in environments, etc; allowing them to get a consistent high resolution. This will be one of the first games I go back to once I’m finally back to my VR headset (haven’t been able to play for a month). Good stuff!

this game is incredibly optimized on quest 2 and i expected it to be ridiculously good on psvr2 and i wasnt wrong. on quest 2 the graphics were amazing especially for quest 2, however it was quite blurry in headset. i know this video is old but on quest 3 they updated it and it looks amazing. the fps is locked to 72 but the clarity is literally the highest quality quest game yet. the psvr2 is just insane because it has the power of a good pc but because the specs dont vary like pcs do, devs can optimize like crazy. the fact that we already have games like this so early on into the life of it gives me hope that games are going to look even better on psvr2 in the future.

Started with game this morning. Spectacular,so crisp visuals...i was not avare that VR2 can reproduce this level of clarity. Game is realy good ❤

Just bought this and played an hour - FANTASTIC! Really shows what the PSVR2 is capable of producing graphics wise, and the game play is just so good on this. I am super impressed. I wish this developer made more. Worth every dollar.

I just noticed that the game is currently on sale on the PS store. Your great review makes it a no brainer to buy.

Wow great review can't wait to pick this up on psvr2

Just bought this based on the review, looking forward to playing when I get home from work today

Played it again last night. The platforming and the moments in the rocket are amazing. The graphics are insane

I’m not crazy about puzzle games but I’m intrigued I do like me some sci-fi 🤔 lol

Did anyone see the latest digital foundry video? It had a viewer question something along the lines of "Now that psvr2 is out and it's failed what's next for Sony?" and DF basically agreed with them stating there is no games for it. Wtf are they smoking and can I get some? Never in all my gaming life had a gaming system launched with so much great content to play.

Both Red Matter and Red Matter 2 are the benchmark for visual clarity on the PS VR2, just remarkable. These games show the potential for the VR2, right down to how clear text is -- that alone makes the experience so much more enjoyable.

THIS GAME LOOK PURE CLASS 😊😊

Comfort vignette when head hits the environment should be a positive. Glitching head through the wall would be a negative.

Thanks for the review. I'm a fan of your review summary "slide" format.

Just got it! Cant wait to be off work to play it!!! GJ Bryan!

Almost wish I hadn't played this on Quest2 first! Love the PSVR2 but not a whole lot of compelling titles yet. Had a blast with this on quest 2, truly amazing what they pulled off on stand alone.

Maybe the team that created Switchback could learn a lesson from the red Matter team....

Sony need to hire Vertical robot to make one of their IPs ,Maybe Farpoint 2 or something else. Still want red matter 3 though 😊

It’s on ps store uk midnight release 😁 £25

RM1 was stunning only just finished it on the psvr1 .. Got to get this follow up.. Great review as always...

This game is awesome. Wish it got more press.

just got this, the sharpness and quality of the graphics literally blew me away as i played this...this has to be the best looking psvr game

Wow this looks awesome defo getting this - loved the first one

Best looking game on psvr 2 Finally bought it after watching this review and wow! If your wondering about your purchase play this and it shows what the headset can do visually an absolutely amazing game!

Damn you Bryan, now I have to buy it! Just don't tell the wife how many games I've bought recently 😂

Red Matter 2 was amazing on the Quest. PSVR2 gamers are in for a real treat.

Awesome review, this game looks great! Do you plan on reviewing the light brigade? I have seen good reviews for it, but I am waiting for your take before deciding whether to buy it or not

Any idea if Red Matter 1 will be ported to VR2? I never played it.

It's a beautiful game. 🎉 Great review!

"If you don't feel like watching the whole review" those are rookie numbers. We're going all in.

i'll just get this for the visuals... wow...

Man, PSVR2 needs more physical releases

literally the best VR game I've played to date even beats half life in my opinion

“…feels inexplicably like riding the T in Boston.” So… noisy, in disrepair, and crowded with drunk people at night? :-P Sounds like an awesome game, wish I could download it right now.

Great to know you can play this without playing the first. I bought the first one but never played it cause the PSVR2 came out before I got a chance and the PSVR is packed away.

Just picked this up. Got 20 minutes into it, it's great but the motion sickness as a newbie to VR is annoying! :P Cant wait to get back into it

Are the puzzles really frustrating for someone not used to these games? I hate being stuck and can’t continue.

This game made me glad I got a psvr2! I'll be honest, is was worrying after playing a few games.

It's a really pretty game I think I'd like to jump back in sometime but I just want to play some new games too. I want to give hubris a try they seem to be in the same ball park

SOLD

Games unreal to play best yet 10/10

Looks good

Im just waiting for a more standard, aaa, not weird game to come to psvr2. Like a standard FPS, or horror. So many of these games have SOME of the elements im looking for, but not enough for me to buy it and be excited.

Shoutout Boston !

Bro you have to get a Woojer vest for the full experience.

I hope this is a midnight release, but I highly doubt it 😔 It will be a "sometime" during the day release, thanks to Sony's strange store

So far the best looking game I've played on PSVR2. The so sharp and clear its what I hoped most game to be. . We need more high quality games like this.. So far the psvr2 game releases are dissapointing. This game gives me hope about future releases. COME ON SONY

Shows that you don't need triple A games to get a good game with good graphics. Was looking forward to this game, but will have to wait a few as just had a operation, so out for a few weeks.

Oh I'm in for this game. It looks very very good

There is people watching this that have no clue how awsome this looks... I can't tell you either. It's like the Matrix. You have to see it for yourself.

You mention the comfort settings of the game. It would be nice of you to show them in detail in every review.

I've just finished and platinum this game and I have to say that for me it was one of the easiest game to platinum. Only one thophy is missable and that is scan a vintage robot toy.

Someone please tell me does this look better than kayak vr

This is how you do it Switchback!!! Two freaking people! Jesus bro!

Intro song slaps

is it worth double dipping for someone who already played it on the Quest 2?

Can someone tell me why I can’t buy it yet on the PlayStation five vr2 yet

Purchased.

Your review had me at pew pew. But calm down “skinhead on the mbta” cowboy. You already calling for RM3 when I ain’t even played 1 yet! Or finished a PSVR2 game. Hehe Word up tho on a great and happy review. :D

Im on the fence about getting PSVR2, right now there just isnt enough games that interest me that warrants spending £550.

Great looking game. The 2nd screen pixel crud is still there, but at no fault to the game maker. Psvr 1 was new and the screen that moves around with you as you turn your head almost seemed cool. After quest 2 pancake lens I saw it was possible to have just one screen to deal with...at times it's very hard to notice with such beautiful surroundings...but it's a headset issue..at this point it may be a Sony trademark. 2028 12k headset but the pixel screen will still distort it at what seems inches from your face...village was 1st to impress me as it's a darker visual game often...The game developers get a 10/10 from me..headset reduces it to a 9/10....upside good to see switchback wasn't all the headsets fault it deserved a 6/10....i still enjoy rush of blood better.. More headsets we get the pickier some of us get. Of course pimax 12k costs $2200 so I'm pretending this is a ps4 pro VR upgrade headset....devs get a A+ and I might keep my headset due to this game...like gran turismo cars fidelity and distance things too. Turismo is way fun but I'd lol say 7.5/10 visually...

It pains me to have to wait until next payday to get this game 😄

Anyone else for part 3 ASAP???

Wth is going on with psvr2 games in NZ I still can’t get Pokerstars or Red matter 2

Is this out in the 17th or 18th. The ps store says today but NOTHING!

Did i just make a mistake and buy Hubris instead of this?!

I need this.

damn this is a beautiful game, unfortunately its one of those games that Im just thinking the whole time, could you imagine an actually fun game with these graphics, holy crap! Im just not into the whole, put this thing there turn that thing like that pull this leaver, its just tedious, when does it get to the fun stuff? Im maybe an hour and a half in and I dont even have a freakin gun yet. Overall though, even if it doesnt get much better im glad I experienced this game.

Can we call it an alyx competitor?

Its Art 🤷🏻‍♂️

RM2 was ok. It was pretty, but I'm in the middle of playing Firmament. It's a far better game and looks stunning, as well. I recommend both, but if I had to choose, it's Firmament all day long. It should be coming to PSVR2 soon :)

The wait continues

Hire these guys

Day 1 purchase

Red Matter 2 makes all other PSVR2 games looks like lazy work.

Eat your heart out Alyx

Supermassive does not like this element.

So puzzels nah

Guerrilla games and Pholphony Digital hang your heads in Shame! Their naivety/Laziness making VR games has been found out!GT7 and Horizon Devs need to stop counting money and Patch their games ASAP ! Whatever usage of Dynamic Foveated Rendering they used seems to be poor or non existent in reality from the evidence so far.

Don't u guys feel wierd while playing walking VR games? 🙄 I did try and didn't feel good

I heard the combat was absolute garbage and that it's nigh-on-impossible to hit the specific weak spots on the robots to kill them. Considering this review barely showed any combat and what it did show seemed to demonstrate that exact issue perfectly. Not a single shot seemed to land and if it did, there was absolutely no feedback or response to suggest it did. Giving this a miss until I see more.

It's just the video you see on your tv in the vr2 it self it looks much more blurry when you reviewers give us the real picture because the picture quality in the vr2 is just a downgrade, and never that sharp! That's only on you tv!!! Keep that in mind people

Unfortunatly game has a super retarded puzzle for opening one of the doors.Part where you need code to take valve and then open that door and proceed.I checked couple walkthrougs and saw that RU-vidrs cut that part of video to solution...so i belive they lost alot of time on that crap.Unfortunatly thats a bad level design and for me 3 points from score down 🥂 Will not buy next game from this developers.
