The illusory nature of VR is tough to maintain considering some of PSVR’s shortcomings. Other people may have different experiences, but I’ll stick with that.
After walking around for a minute, I started getting woozy and swapped back to the default. I have a pretty high tolerance for VR and motion, so I didn’t think much of it. You have to select it in the options menu by holding down a button – after reading some warning text about motion sickness. There’s also a free-roam mode, which the developers clearly don’t want most people to use. Pulling a trigger calls up a ghostly version of Lara, which you can position and rotate around in the world before warping to the new location. With the default controls, Lara’s feet are firmly planted to the ground, and you can move your head around to peer into cabinets or underneath tables. Players have a couple of different control options in VR. Seeing it in VR spoiled me the environments felt comparatively flat and dull on a TV. In VR, you’re seeing it all through her eyes, in first person. Ordinarily, you explore the halls in a behind-the-back view similar to how you play the rest of the game. While the content is identical between the two formats, the difference in presentation is striking. I played through the entirety of the Blood Ties adventure in VR, and checked it out for a while later on a traditional display. Instead, it’s more akin to a point-and-click adventure, where you have to scour your surroundings for clues and items necessary to fully explore the manor.
There’s no combat in Blood Ties or any opportunities to flip around the place like you may have done in the past.
That simply won’t do, so you have to conduct a search to find some kind of documentation that will let her retain the family home. Her father died without leaving a written will, and her uncle is making a claim on the property. You can also download it on Xbox One, but you obviously won’t be able to play in VR.īlood Ties is a story-driven adventure, which offers a relatively brief but interesting opportunity to check out the home where Lara grew up. The Croft Manor content is split into two discrete experiences, Blood Ties and Lara’s Nightmare, and while Blood Ties supports the PlayStation VR headset, it’s not required. It’s definitely seen better days, but getting to walk around its halls is still a thrill. As much as I looked forward to diving back into the campaign, I decided to prioritize the new content, which is focused around Croft Manor – including a chance to visit the iconic location in virtual reality. Rise of the Tomb Raider was one of my favorite Xbox One games last year, so I could think of worse fates than playing it again on PlayStation 4.
