Almost Every PSVR2 Game Reviewed (Part Twelve / Letter L)

This part of the series (number 12) covers PSVR2 games starting with the letter L.

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.

The Last Clockwinder…

There are always a few games that receive plenty of praise, yet for some reason just don’t click with me — and unfortunately, this is one of them. To its credit, it’s absolutely a “true” VR experience, the kind that would be extremely difficult to translate to a flat-screen format. The controls are spot-on, the art direction is charming, and the mechanic where you record your actions is something I’ve only encountered once before, back in Transpose on PSVR1.

The game started out fun, but after a while I grew tired of plucking fruit and dropping them into a basket, and the narrative began to grate on me — most likely because I simply wasn’t very good at it.

There’s very little jank here — it plays wonderfully, and puzzle fans will likely have a great time with it. Personally, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped, but it’s still a solid launch title that I think many people may have easily overlooked. *Buy with caution*

Last Labyrinth…

VR Escape Room in VR with a horror theme?

Now that’s a scary thing to think of right? Well, this game is exactly that, and while this was originally a PSVR game it still looks great on the PSVR2. You get flat and VR versions when you buy this one.

Solid puzzles, scary and a typical Japanese art direction where you sit in a wheelchair, locked in and you can only move your head to tell where a cute little japanese girl should go , and to answer her questions you need to either shake your head left and right or nudge it up and down.

Scary, a proper brain trainer game that has no jank and is quite fun to play. Looks great and while all speech is in Japanese it still works great. *For horror and puzzling fans – don’t sleep on this, others buy with caution*

The Last Worker…

This one has been sitting in my backlog for ages, and thanks to this review series I finally got around to playing it. I went in expecting a dull stealth game—mostly because of a few lukewarm reviews—but what I actually found was a really funny action-focused adventure with light puzzles, a dash of stealth, and a surprisingly engaging story.

You work at a kind of *futuristic post office*, the last human employee in a facility now run entirely by different types of robots. Before long, you’re more or less pushed into trying to escape this place set in a bleak, dystopian world.

It took me around 10 hours to finish, mostly because I got stuck in a few spots—and, honestly, because I was being a bit stupid at times 🤣

Cool cel-shaded visuals, great voice acting, and only a tiny sprinkle of jank made this a genuinely enjoyable game to play. * Recommended for fans of the genre, others buy with caution*

Legendary Tales…

How about a 4-player co-op RPG in VR?

Honestly, I went in expecting a janky mess — the kind of game that’s more frustration than fun. But wow, was I wrong. Completely wrong. This thing is super-duper fun to play, and there’s almost no jank at all.

You manually craft your weapons, enhance them with magic, and head out to slay skeletons, goblins, and whatever else the game throws at you. There are boss battles, quests, and a frankly ridiculous amount of content to dive into.

This is one of those rare games I can wholeheartedly recommend to just about everyone. The technical side is rock solid too: no reprojection, no framedrops, smooth performance, and — again — very little jank. * A must buy title *

The Light Brigade…

Another one that’s easy to overlook because of old posts calling it broken, ugly, or whatever. But here’s the truth: after a steady flow of updates over the last two years, this already-promising roguelite shooter has evolved into something that’s basically an essential purchase if you enjoy the genre.

Sure, there’s still some jank, but nothing even close to game-breaking. Most of the original issues have been tuned, patched, or outright fixed — plus the game has received new features along the way.

My advice? Don’t put too much weight on those early reviews. The game has been alive and kicking for two years now, and while it still has a bit of roughness, it’s also a stylish, fun, and surprisingly solid roguelite. * Recommended *

Little Cities Bigger…

Not really into building sims, but always wanted to be — just held back by how complex they usually are? Then this might be the perfect place to start. It’s clearly trying to ride the City Skylines wave, but what sets LCB apart is that it’s easier, less complex, and very much a “lite” version of the big city builders.

That doesn’t mean it’s empty. Far from it. The game eases you into its features in a smooth, comfortable way. The only real downside? Just when you’re fully hooked, the main progression is already over — though to be fair, the game is bigger than it first appears. And yes, there’s a sandbox mode for those who want to go wild.

Overall, it’s a lightweight building sim that’s easy to pick up, fun to play, boosted by a solid levelling system, and with very little jank. Hard to say for sure whether it’s reprojected or not, but Google suggests it runs at 90Hz native. * Solid game, well worth a look *

Lumines Arise…

Enhance Games is back once again with another stellar title, Lumines. Finally resurrected after a long seven-year wait.

If you’ve played Tetris Effect VR, you’ll feel right at home. This is a rhythm-infused puzzle game where you connect four tiles, and if you manage to stack up more before the timeline sweeps across, you trigger combos. In some cases, you can rack up huge chains even without using the Burst Trigger. And what’s the Burst Trigger? Basically, it freezes the action for a moment, giving you the chance to drop a bunch of tiles before the game resumes.

I had some trouble using the left analog stick to drop tiles—it was simply too inaccurate. But after a quick trip into the settings under the VR icon, I remapped the action to the Square button. In other words: jank-free now.

It’s highly addictive, packed with fantastic visual effects, and backed by superb music. And honestly—it’s Lumines. The PSVR2 version outshines the included flat version in almost every way thanks to the added immersion. * A must have for all puzzler fans out there *

Summary:

And there you have it — number 12 of this new review series! There’s no set ETA for the next instalment, as these take time to put together, but as always, your feedback will help shape how soon the next one arrives. Stay tuned!
