RIGS Mechanized Combat League - PlayStation VR

I am basing this review on the quality of the game, but do mention that is likely one of the games that most likely will get you motion sickness if you're prone to it.Aside from that, the start of the game is slow and boring because you have to learn techniques and get accustomed to using it. I understand there is a learning curve but still was boring and sort of gave up on it. The learning modules cannot be bypassed (unless I missed something). Graphics looked good and very good controls. This is used with the normal PS4 controllers and not the motion controllers and that makes sense for the maneuvering needed within the game.

I purchased this game because of the dearth of actual gam s for the PSVR (most are short tech demos) and was blown away by the polish and great presentation!Unfortunately, after playing for about an hour, I suffered severe motion sickness and spent four hours recovering (lying down and occasionally vomiting).The head-tracking aiming system is what did it for me. I'm an avid FPS player on the PC and have never experienced motion-sickness from visual stimuli until now (and it hit me really hard).I'd advise anyone interested in picking up this awesome game to try the demo first before purchasing it. The multi-hour nausea after playing isn't for something you should spend full price to experience.I can no longer play the game due to my susceptibility but I definitely appreciate the developers putting together a top-notch mech-sports game that the PSVR desperately needed (in the sea of short tech demos).

RIGS is one of the first if not the first FPS on PS VR and it sets the bar sky high. Not only that, but in my opinion it is the best PS VR title available at this time and one of a very few that offer a long lasting experience which remains fun playing over time rather than a fun experience that you only play once and feel no need to go back to again.When you first start playing you get a test rig that allows you to complete the tutorial and get used to the controls, but once you complete this you get to purchase your first rig. There are 4 base frames to choose between:Sentinel: The tank, big, heavily armoured, but slow and can perform a slam jump which is a charged jump.Hunter: The speedster, small, short, and very fast. What it lacks in it's jumping capability it makes up by being able to go through low height tunnels. enabling it to take shortcuts in various points on the maps.Mirage: The all rounder, tall, agile, with decent armour and can double jump.Tempest: It can fly, what it lacks armour and speed it makes up for being able to take off and hover.There are multiple layouts for each frame each with it's own skills and weapons combination.RIGS offers you three distinct game modes: "Team Deathmatch", "Endzone" and "Powerslam"Team DeathmatchThis one kind of speaks for itself a team based carnage where you gain points by destroying opponents and assisting your team members in doing so, the team with the highest amount of kills by the end of the match wins.EndzoneFootball with giant robots, you have to grab the ball and get it through the goal on the opponents side of the map. You can steal the ball from opponents with melee and pass the ball to team members within range. The team with the highest amount of goals at the end wins.SuperslamAlmost like basketball, except that you are the ball. Near the center of the map high up there is a hoop. If you manage to destroy 3 opponents your rig goes in to overdrive for a limited time, while you are in overdrive you have to fight yourself all the way to the top and jump through the hoop to score a point and at the end the team that scored the most points wins.RIGS is probably one of the better looking PS VR games available, everything is rendered in a beautiful slick, colorful and bright world, As you look around in the cockpit you can read the crisp letters on the components that make up the cockpit and the levels have a distinct look that makes it easy to keep track of where you are.Surprisingly for a game where your character actually walks/runs around and jumps in the world though I felt a little woozy for a moment during the tutorials portion by the time I was out of the tutorial section I had fully adjusted and can comfortably play for hours The game also offers multiple comfort adjustments to allow you to customize the experience in a way that reduces the chance at any motion sickness. You can choose between turning using head motion or your right thumb stick, you can restrict the view when in motion and also turn off some effects in games that may negatively affect the experience for some players.All I can say in the end is if you own PS VR this is the game to get and if you don't this game is why you should get it.

This game is amazing! It truly is the best VR game I've played so far. I picked up the bundle, so I got VR Worlds, and I also picked up Battlezone, Rigs, and Eve Valkyrie. Rigs is the best of the bunch! It truly gives that feeling of being in a sport league, and the graphics are spectacular. It's only 3v3, but the gameplay is fast paced and the arenas are small enough that you are never really wanting more players. IE, there's always a target nearby for you to kill :)The only down side right now that I am experiencing is that lack of human players when playing online. The majority of my matches are only 1v1 humans and the rest are bots. Unfortunately, the bots are skilled differently too - one round, they can kick arse and the next they get zero's, not sure why that is. If you're better than your opponent then it likely won't matter that much - but if you're evenly matched, they'll play a critical role.I also noticed that at the beginning of the match the bots don't fire back at times. Perhaps it's a bug.Outside of that, it's an awesome game that I highly recommend for anyone with a PS VR. Note that many users have difficulty not becoming nauseated playing. It apparently takes a little while to get used to. I haven't had the issue, but I've never gotten the motion sickness either. I've disabled all "VR Comfort" settings without any problems.If you have found this review helpful, please click on the little Helpful button below. It's anonymous!

I suck playing FPS games with a controller, so I wasn't sure about buying this game. Luckily, you aim with your head and not the thumb stick and there is a aim assist. I had no problem hitting targets and within a few minutes I had the movement controls down. I did notice a little dizziness though with some of the jerky turns. I'm hoping the higher framerate of the PS4 Pro will correct this. Not much to the game, but it is a lot of fun. Why the Rift has nothing like this I'll never know.PS: When are the creators of the TV show IGPX going to sue?
