2D platform games like Limbo, Inside, and other modern titles have enjoyed a lot of time in the spotlight for their excellent gameplay and detailed environments. The PS4 has no shortage of titles like this, but the opposite could be said of PlayStation VR.

As a kid who grew up in the 90’s, The Matrix trilogy was a big deal for me. I still love those movies, but we all remember the moment when everything clicked for Neo in that first movie. “There is no spoon,” he whispers. From that moment on, it’s non-stop awesomeness. I had a similar feeling when I first booted up SUPERHOT VR on PlayStation VR.

The concept of a "wave shooter" goes all the way back to the days of Duck Hunt. It's from here that newly released PlayStation VR shooter, Dick Wilde, take its inspiration. Of course, this is a new era, and there's a whole lot more than ducks hiding in the swamps, harbors, and mountains of this game's world.

Along with horror and shooters, the other genre that has benefited most from PlayStation VR this far are puzzle games. Even the most simple experiences gain a whole new layer of immersion and engagement when viewed through virtual reality.

Gamers who grew up in the last couple decades probably remember light gun games at the arcade. I have plenty of fond memories that involve shooting at giant screens with plastic guns. Time Crisis, House of the Dead, these are the shooters I cut my teeth on as a young lad.
