I tried Snow Scout on PSVR2 thinking it would have some fun downhill skiing. I really should read some reviews first... (beyond the tagline "Snow Scout is a glorified downhill and cross country skiing simulator") While skiing is 'functional' it's more like a very bad copy of Firewatch with annoying tasks to clean up and unlock boring ski slopes. You constantly have someone on the radio telling you what to do next. Pick up trash, shovel snow, chop wood, make a fire, eat, go to bed, repeat.
The mechanics are all clunky, pick up the wrong thing, keep dropping stuff, can't get the backpack and you always hold items in a painful way. This is not how you hold a shovel or axe ugh, bending your wrist in painful ways to use them. It looks like a remastered PS2 game, every time you 'zone' you're turned around and end up 2 meters next to your skiis, need to reset view again. Walking speed is very slow and it's instant game over when you veer off any path. I just wanted to play some SSX in VR. (Which had tons more detail and looked a lot better on PS2)
1 star.
Sadly PSVR2 has the same issue as PSVR1, so much shovel ware. It would be nice if reviews stop giving VR games a pass for being VR games.
