Here are the 10 PS VR games that garnered enough reviews to get a PlayScore!
10: Opening our list of Top 10 PSVR Games So Far is PlayStation VR Worlds
Sony’s compilation of glorious virtual reality games comes together in PlayStation VR Worlds.

From the insane wonder of the abyss in Ocean Descent, to the landlubberin’ adventures
of the sea in Scavenger’s Odyssey.
This game takes into consideration the depths of Virtual Reality and the PS Move controller.
Perhaps its most rewarding world is The London Heist.
Which puts you into an Ocean’s Eleven-like experience.
Steal a precious diamond and engage in a gunfight in the most exhilarating way.
If thievery isn’t quite right for you, then enjoy a relaxing game of pong in Danger Ball.
It has a PlayScore of 6.65
9: DriveClub VR
One of the few VR launch games that puts the pedal to the metal.
DriveClub VR not only gives you an immersive feel behind the steering wheel, it also lets
you take that first taste of what VR racing has to offer.
DriveClub veterans won’t find the various games modes and dynamic weather that made
the original game better.
What they’ll discover instead is that familiar feel and the joy of driving around the game’s
beautiful world.
Despite its flaws, DriveClub VR still proves that virtual reality is ready in the scale
of racing and who knows?
Future racing games may give more than just immersion when we step inside the driveseat.

8: Here They Lie
There is a fine line between what’s real and what’s not.
This game takes the creeps and visualizes it in the most haunting way possible.
Here They Lie is dubbed as ‘Alice’s Trip Down The Rabbit Hole’ and it pretty much
means it.
The mind-bending visuals coupled with the constant dread of monster sounds can creep
up on someone playing the game at 3 in the morning.
However, its focus on the abstract form of dread loses its way in a deep spiral of confusion
and let-down to most players.
Nonetheless, it’s still a psychologically scary Virtual Reality experience.

7: Batman: Arkham VR
Our favorite brooding caped crusader returns in Virtual Reality.
Rocksteady’s entry to the VR gaming world opens up with this new chapter in the Arkham
series.
Don the batsuit in a deeply engaging experience inside this orphan's shoes.
This time, it’s on Virtual Reality.
Rocksteady promises the players to fully control most of Batman’s iconic gadgets such as
the Batarang, Batclaw and his Detective Vision.
These gadgets help him solve a looming mystery that threatens the safety of his friends.
This 90-minute game showcases unique approaches to some of Batman’s nemeses such as Riddler’s
clever puzzles.

6: Bound
Sway your way into a world with blaring visual aesthetic.
This Platformer entry to the VR scene comes with charm, heart, and grace.
Bound takes you to a life of a Princess in a beautifully rendered world that pops nothing
but colors.
Its platforming elements require careful motion and adept fluidity.
Save your mother from a being so horrific called…
The Monster.
Perhaps the game’s most appealing character is its no risk for punishment.
You literally don’t die in this game.
It’s strange and beautiful story really takes you inside its captivating world.
The 3-hour playtime and the sense of replayability adds a bit of charm to its atmosphere and
it’s one of PS VR’s most gorgeous games to date.

5: Until Dawn: Rush Of Blood
Take what you know about Super Massive’s horror game and put a dose of VR into it.
Rush Of Blood is its entry to the budding Virtual Reality scene.
As the name suggests, it’s a horrorshow of roller-coaster proportions.
You take a ride into what seemed to be normal at first, then as you put yourself deeper
into the darkness, you know you’ve descended into hell itself.
It’s not meant to be confused with the original’s interactive gameplay, this game focuses on
rail-shooting mechanics.
There are multiple levels with differing magnitudes of fears.
From clowns, murderers, and even slaughtered pigs.
It’s basically your one stop shop for phobias.
Until Dawn’s seamless usage of the PlayStation Move controller brings the shooter experience
to a phenomenal degree.
You will clearly feel the rush of fear inside you…
up until you reach that final stage.
It has a PlayScore of 8.04
4: Job Simulator
There’s really not much to tell about Job Simulator.
It’s basically a…wait for it..job simulator.
Although a quirky one at that.
It’s a mixture of VR practice while familiarizing with the PS Move’s controller.
Question your existence in a never ending simulation of your job that involves mostly
anything.
From fueling cars, cooking, and throwing inanimate objects to your boss.
You can even eat donuts in this game.
How fun is that?
Seriously though, there’s nothing serious to talk about in this game.
It’s a relaxing, humorous and ridiculous way of portraying life’s greatest monotony
in a Virtual Reality game.
Just imagine what would your life be if this was your job.
It has a PlayScore of 8.05
3: Trackmania Turbo
Developer Nadeo brings you a fast and colorful racing game that blends fun and simplicity
to its core.
Trackmania Turbo boasts short yet insanely fun level designs that offer enjoyment for
players who want to do it alone or with friends.
Its vast amount of content ranging from multiple tracks.
According to most reviewers, it’s a fairly simple game that can also be a good product
for casual players.
Over 200 courses, Trackmania Turbo still kicks the bar high when it comes to multiplayer
and single player racing.
Split screen included!
It has a PlayScore of 8.39
2: Thumper
There’s something so oddly satisfying about this game.
If not for the ominous figure that glares at you from the distance, it’s the visual
strike that this game delivers.
Thumper is dubbed as “Rhythm Violence”, a mixture between a rhythm game and brutal
physicality.
It requires reflexes decent enough to not let your little space beetle succumb to the
darkness that lingers beyond it.
Aside from its visuals, Thumper excels in its impactful music.
The staggering sounds of bumping and sliding through walls and rails brings a sense of
satisfaction if not frustrations.
With the use of the PS VR’s peripherals, players can experience the odd brilliance
of this game.
