Switchback VR is an on-rails shooter set in the horror-infused world of Supermassive Games’ The Dark Pictures Anthology, featuring villains from titles such as The Devil in Me and The Man of Medan.
The developers sought to take advantage of the PlayStation VR2’s updated hardware with a haptic feedback system, 3D audio, and eye-tracking capabilities. One such feature made enemies more likely to attack and move when the headset detected that the player blinked or looked away.
In our review, IGN gave The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR a 6/10 rating, calling the virtual reality game “a fun arcade shooter” but “short length, weak story, and lack of terror. are holding back,” he sums up.
