Review: Pixel Ripped 1995 (PlayStation VR)
Pixel Ripped is back with a brand new nostalgia-fueled virtual reality game-within-a-game, this time in 1995! Help our hero Dot face challenging throwbacks to all your favorite 16-bit and 32-bit classics while surviving the struggles of a typical nine-year-old kid.
Pros:
- 3.04gb download size.
- Pixel art graphics.
- Platinum trophy.
- Tutorial signs in the game.
- Uses the ds4 controller.
- Action-platformer mash up gameplay.
- Gimmick-you, play classic games whilst sitting in the “real world”.
- Nails the atmosphere and feeling of the surroundings like playing games on the living room floor or playing at a booth in a store.
- The real world and game world collide in some levels for 3d style action.
- At one point it feels like you are in a Gameboy.
- Simple controls as you are using an in-game controller.
- Interact with the real world as you play the game.
- Pays homage to classic games over the years.
- Playing in very well known but named differently consoles.
Cons:
- Not always apparent what you have to do.
- Difficulty spikes especially on boss fights.
- Any misconfiguration of the VR can cause issues.
- A couple of set pieces outstay there welcome.
- Few motion instances that can cause ickiness.
