Almost Every PSVR2 Game Reviewed (Part Eight / Letter H)

This part of the series (number 8) covers PSVR2 games starting with the letter H.

Update: A new feature starting with this post is that I’ve also begun including information about reprojection and native FPS, following requests from the community.

I’ve had a lot of people asking for more PSVR2 reviews—and while this blog has its roots firmly in the Amiga scene, VR has always sparked just as much curiosity among readers. With my background and involvement in both worlds, especially from a development perspective, it feels only natural to keep covering both. After all, retro passion and cutting-edge immersion share the same heartbeat: the pure love of gaming.

Once a gamer, always a gamer—every title here is judged based on fun, Jank and playability, not just on flashy features or unused tech.

I’ve also included a trailer (if available) for each game, embedded right in the headline for easy access.

Happy Funland…

At launch, reviews for this one were all over the place — some players loved it, while others absolutely hated it.

I’ll admit, my first impression wasn’t great either. The endless dialogue, technical hiccups, and overall jank really tested my patience. Fortunately, the developer took community feedback seriously, and updates quickly addressed many of the early issues. Smooth turning, sharper visuals, and a stable 90fps experience with no reprojection have made a big difference.

Today, it’s a fun and genuinely funny game. There’s still a bit of jank here and there, but nothing game-breaking. The experience feels refreshingly original, and the quirky art style alone makes it worth checking out. There are a few jump scares, but it’s not a scary game overall.  *A decent game — worth a look, but buy with caution*

Harpagun…

A very stylish game with a thumping soundtrack and some truly memorable boss battles. You move around from point to point (yeah, teleport…), but for the most part, it’s not too intrusive. Your main goal is simple — shoot and destroy everything in sight — and there’s even a solid throwing mechanic that adds a nice bit of variation to the action.

There’s no reprojection here as far as I can tell, and the visuals are wonderfully crisp.

A hidden gem? Maybe. I had an absolute blast for most of it, right up until a late-game boss battle where things suddenly took a frustrating turn. The difficulty spike hit hard, partly due to the point-to-point teleportation movement system — which adds a fair bit of jank during boss encounters — and partly because I genuinely lost track of what I was supposed to do. *Good game, buy with caution*

Hello Neighbor – Search & Rescue…

I never really got into this franchise myself, but my eldest son has been playing them since day one — and the moment he saw the VR version on the PS Store, he wanted it instantly.

As always, VR games intrigue me, so I couldn’t resist giving it a go. My first impression, though, wasn’t great — the opening minutes were full of jank, awful framerates, and heavy reprojection. Quite surprising, really, for such a high-profile release.

But here’s the crazy part: despite all that, I actually had a lot of fun. Once the puzzles and stealth sections kicked in, the game became genuinely engaging. After a while, I got used to the technical issues, and by the time the credits rolled — around 3–4 hours later — I was honestly a bit sad it was over. Maybe even more disappointed that there’s no platinum trophy. *Lots of jank and issues but still had fun, buy with caution*

Hellsweeper VR…

When this one launched a few years back, it was already a solid roguelite. But after what feels like a gazillion updates (currently at 2.0 now), it has evolved into an absolute gem — a must-have for any VR fan.

That said, this game definitely isn’t for those without strong VR legs. You’ll be doing all sorts of wild movements — jumping, somersaults, wall-running — and it’s all delivered at breakneck speed.

You’ve got a full arsenal at your disposal: guns, swords, magic, and even a grappling hook (well, more like a jump line). Add in heaps of gore and a truly distinctive art style, and it all comes together beautifully.

There are tons of upgrades to unlock, great sound and visuals, no reprojection (?), and very little jank — just pure, chaotic fun and the somersaults (raise both arms while jumping) really test your VR legs more than most other games. There’s also an insane amount of options where you can enable or disable to make the game suit your style. Several difficult levels which reward the player with different weapons and whatnot skills and upgrades. And best of all? It supports 3-player online co-op!  *A must buy, no questions asked*

Memories – The Gardens Between…

A true hidden gem — and one that’s sadly easy to overlook because the trailers really don’t do it justice.

What the game does make clear is that it’s all about time manipulation — rewinding and fast-forwarding scenes, to enable, among other things, either to prevent accidents or, in some cases, cause them.

Each level involves plenty of back-and-forth tracking, but it all works incredibly well and feels deeply satisfying when you pull it off successfully. There are also plenty of hidden collectables and extra objectives scattered throughout, giving the game a nice bit of replay value.

I honestly didn’t expect much at first, but the story slowly evolves as you play, and by the end, everything comes together in a really satisfying way.

If you’re into 2D-style VR with simple puzzles, a minimalist art direction, and a genuinely lovely story, this one might surprise you just like it did me.

I am not sure if this is native 90 or reprojected because it looks a bit blurry, but with little to no ghosting(?), and there’s absolutely no jank to be found, and I found it very fun and relaxing to play. The only thing I still wish for is a native 120fps mode — it would make the already gorgeous visuals stand out even more, and yeah, this one is far from a game that can’t be done in that resolution for certain.  * Recommended, solid game*

Hide The Corpse…

Now here’s a party game that somehow works without any multiplayer mode — and that’s saying something. Thanks to its hysterical humour and tone, it instantly reminded me of the two Weekend at Bernie’s movies from the late ’80s and early ’90s.

Your task? Hide a corpse (for absolutely no apparent reason) before the cops show up. The game is fairly open-ended, offering plenty of creative ways to get the job done (6 different ways for each location, and there are collectables to find too). There are only six locations in total (house, garage, spaceship and more), but a rating system and various modifiers help keep things fresh, adding both replay value and plenty of hilarious moments. There’s one thing, though, the game requires you to stand up while playing it, as you need to bend and twist and turn quite a bit to reach every spot in the game. In other words, if you hate (or can’t) standing up while playing, then this game is not for you.

It’s a fun, chaotic experience with a fair bit of jank — though to be fair, that feels like part of the charm and even the gameplay itself. The visuals may look simple, but everything feels clean and solid. As for reprojection or native, I don’t know. There’s no Platinum trophy in this one, which is odd as the game offers a lot of ways to do stuff… * Recommended for simple fun, could easily end up being a hidden gem*

Hitman Trilogy / World Of Assassination VR…

Now this is what I call a proper comeback from the developer. As much as I enjoyed the original PSVR version, it definitely had its shortcomings—but the PSVR2 release has fixed all of them (and then some).

Everything from the flat version has been fully integrated into VR. Yes, everything! Even the DLC is now available for PSVR2 after the latest update.

This game easily offers 200+ hours of fun if you aim to max out everything. It includes all three PS4 games, each of which takes about 15 hours to beat on the easiest difficulty. But the real fun begins once you start unlocking weapons and experimenting with different playstyles. The environments, atmosphere, visuals, sound, and mechanics work tremendously well in VR. I’d even argue it looks better in VR than it does flat. With no mission ever feeling quite the same and the freedom to approach objectives however you like, the replayability is through the roof.

There’s very little jank (and even less with each update), though sniper rifles still cause some trouble.

That aside, the fantastic atmosphere and sheer fun make this one of the best VR titles ever released. A must-buy—even if this genre normally isn’t your thing.  *Buy Now, Sit Back And Live The Dream*

Horizon VR – Call Of The Mountain…

This is the PSVR2’s flagship title — the one that should have sold millions of headsets at launch. Visually, it’s absolutely stunning, and the mechanics work far better than you might expect at first. Unfortunately, the gameplay tends to get a bit stale over time. Still, the sheer graphical quality and sound design make it worth experiencing, as no other VR game currently matches its visual fidelity.

There’s a free demo available on the PS Store, and I definitely recommend giving it a try. That said, this wasn’t quite the system-seller I had hoped for. Personally, I think Gran Turismo 7 would have been a far stronger bundle choice to show off what the hardware can do.

There’s very little jank here, though some performance dips do take away from the immersion. The boss fights suffer from a frustratingly unintuitive movement system that really breaks the immersion. The game uses both reprojection and foveated rendering, which explains the graphics quality. That said, an update to make it run 90 fps natively would be an absolute game-changer.

The game looks phenomenal and delivers several “wow” moments that will stay with you long after you take the headset off. The sound design is top-notch, and if you enjoy climbing more than combat, this one will likely be right up your alley.

One curious design choice was creating an entirely new entry for VR instead of adapting the first Horizon game — something I doubt anyone would’ve complained about. Overall, it’s not a bad game by any means; it’s fun, and there isn’t a lot of jank in it either, but the hype definitely overshadows the actual experience, and the steep price tag doesn’t help either.  *Good, recommended*

---

Horror Adventure: Zombie Edition…

The less I say about this one, the better. It’s a truly awful game, riddled with jank and frustrating mechanics. It’s only “fun” if you’re into trainwrecks—otherwise, stay far away. The game also only got click-turning and extremely bad graphics and framerate.

The one thing it does get right is the demo. Credit where it’s due: the developer actually lets you see how bad the game is before you buy it.

Do I want to like it? Absolutely. I love horror games, even the bad ones—but I despise jank more than anything. Unfortunately, this game is packed with it, which means I can’t recommend it. Oh, and one more thing, it’s very cheap, and when on sale, it’s dirt cheap—only at that point is it even worth considering. *AVOID*

Hotel R’N’R…

Ever dreamt of being a rockstar? Well, here’s your chance to do at least one of their most notorious activities: trashing hotel rooms.

The game takes place across six rooms, but it also includes a sandbox mode. As far as I can tell, it’s largely the same experience as the highly popular PSVR release from about half a decade ago.

There’s some jank here and there, particularly when it comes to throwing objects, but it’s an absolute blast to play. Another big plus: if you already own the PSVR version, this is a free upgrade.

Overall, it’s a fun game. The jank can be annoying at times, but it doesn’t make it a bad experience. There’s no reprojection, the visuals are crisp, and it’s a great little title to blow off some steam. The upgrade from PSVR is questionable, but at the same time, it is a free update, and it does enough to make most people happy * Recommended but not an essential *

House Flipper…

This is one of those IPs my eldest son has talked about endlessly, so needless to say, my anticipation was high when I saw the game shadow-drop on the PS Store a while back.

I should have done a bit more research before buying it.

This port is another trainwreck—constantly crashing the console, riddled with unnecessary jank, and frustrating to play to the point of pure rage.

The game’s concept and mechanics inherently involve some chaos, but nothing like this. The game relies on reprojection, yet it still struggles with a painfully low framerate (I wouldn’t be surprised if it is 60 fps reprojected…  This is clearly an unfinished beta version. My only advice to readers: avoid this one entirely unless it gets properly fixed. *AVOID*

The House Of Da Vinci VR…

This is another flat game that’s been adapted for VR. While it looks and sounds amazing, there are a few annoyances that slightly pull you out of the experience.

Reprojection and the lack of free movement can be frustrating — you move from point to point — but once you get past that, the game really shines. Take note that this is one of those VR games that you have to stand up to play, as you’ll find yourself bending, crouching, and stretching to solve some truly clever puzzles, all while enjoying fantastic haptic feedback.

Overall, it’s a really solid game. There’s very little jank, it’s a lot of fun, and it’s definitely one of the best puzzle experiences on PSVR2.  *Recommended, but take note of factors above*

---

Hubris…

Hubris is often touted as a showcase title, but I somewhat disagree. Sure, it looks great and the gameplay is solid, but overall, it can feel a bit boring, especially during the first few hours. It really picks up toward the end, where it becomes genuinely enjoyable. I’d even go so far as to say the game is overhyped—people expecting pure gold may end up disappointed.

That said, the story and atmosphere deserve credit. I found myself genuinely engaged at times, almost feeling like I was inside the game.

The swimming mechanics were also surprisingly decent, far better than in many other titles.

Visually, Hubris is impressive, with minimal jank, but it lacks consistent action and is relatively short. It’s a solid game, but hardly the system-seller or timeless classic that the hype suggests.  *Good, Recommended*

Human Fall Flat VR…

Hah, this is going to be a tough one to rate. The flat version of this game was already packed with jank, which—paradoxically—was part of its massive appeal. So how do you review a game like this when fun, chaos, and sheer playability are what define it? Honestly, I’ve decided to embrace the jank as a positive—and as crazy as that sounds, what else can you do?

Human: Fall Flat in VR is basically the same game as the flat version, but now you get to use your arms. You’ll swear, you’ll cry, and you’ll laugh like crazy.

The game is so gloriously stupid and ridiculous that it’s absolutely worth playing—and maybe best of all, you can play it with friends. VR actually works wonderfully here, and I’d even say it’s a better experience than the flat version.

The graphics and overall style remain simple but effective; it does use reprojection, and there’s no Platinum trophy either. The way levels flow into one another keeps you curious about what comes next, and it is worth taking note that this VR version has exclusive content.

It’s chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly satisfying in VR and even a million times better in the multiplayer 4-player co-op mode. One thing to take note of is that this game doesn’t have cross-play, which means empty servers most of the time, so bring a friend. *Recommended, go get it now if you have family or friends to play with*

Humanity…

Humanity is what I like to call a next-gen version of Lemmings—a highly addictive puzzle game that really shines if you’re willing to invest the time. It’s absolutely brilliant. There are moments when you master a level and it almost makes you think it’s the best VR game ever… and then 20 seconds later, you mess up and hate yourself as you have to start all over again.

I got the game free through PS+, but I would have happily paid full price at launch. That said, its challenging mechanics and stress factor mean it will probably sit in my backlog for a while.

If you’re a fan of puzzlers, it’s well worth diving into, but be warned—it gets extremely hard eventually. There’s no jank to speak of, the visuals are great, and the fun factor is high.

A fantastic VR puzzle game for those who enjoy a real challenge. This game is running at 60 fps reprojected, but you won’t notice that much thanks to how the game is designed and how it plays. *Recommended for Puzzler fans*
