Games · Purchased February 25, 2023 · $8.79 via PSN
The Setup
A budget-priced arcade shoot-’em-up that reimagines classic Asteroids in full 3D VR — blast waves of asteroids and enemy ships with lasers, rockets, and a gatling gun while defending your bases, grabbing shield power-ups along the way.
The Review
This one’s exactly what the $8.79 price tag suggests — simple, pick-up-and-play arcade fun with a decent sense of scale for a budget title, and a nice nostalgic hook if you grew up on the original Asteroids. It’s shallow and repetitive if you sit with it too long, and the presentation is noticeably dated next to the bigger PSVR2 launch titles, but for the price it’s a fine way to kill twenty minutes.
What I Liked
- Simple, pick-up-and-play arcade fun

What I Didn’t
- Shallow, repetitive gameplay loop
