Your task in the main game mode, Power Slam, is to score ‘goals’ by leaping through a ring at the top of the arena – but to earn that right you first need to score enough points by shooting the opposing team’s mechs and collecting the tokens they drop.Ĭontrols are basically standard FPS-style, but you aim and turn using your head. In RIGS, 6-8 players are split into two teams, before selecting and strapping into a mech, and launching into the arena. It’s also a great showcase for Sony’s headset, thanks to chunky, colourful art and frenetic multiplayer battles. RIGS is a first-person, mech-based mixture of deathmatch and future-sport that’s exclusive to PSVR. Sure, the deliberately clunky controls feel restrictive when you’re trying to dodge attacks, but at all other times the VR experience – including a cleverly thought-through input system where the right stick turns you in 30-degree intervals as you freely look around – is incredibly immersive, and utterly scary.

In first person, every room feels constrictive, with overflowing detritus and ruined furniture blocking your path.

What’s more, while the Baker plantation might not be as sprawling in Res 7 as the original game’s Spencer mansion, it feels plenty big enough when its crazed residents are pursuing you in VR.
