“My enjoyment of Farpoint is inherently tethered to my experience with it in VR. As a shooter it’s only slightly above average. But the team was able to incorporate various elements of sight, sound, and touch (by way of the Aim Controller) to elevate it.”<\/p>\n
USgamer<\/a> \u2013 3\/5<\/h3>\n“Farpoint is a game that does it’s job well, showing off PlayStation VR and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller. The act of shooting feels great and intuitive in the game thanks to the controller.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, while VR adds to the experience, it doesn’t hide what’s a fairly rote and basic shooter from an earlier era of gaming.”<\/p>\n

Polygon<\/a> \u2013 7.5<\/h3>\n“The game nails the basics of aiming and firing a gun in a way that\u2019s incredibly satisfying \u2014 even if the Aim controller feels more mandatory than optional. Farpoint may seem basic in a few years, once VR design has progressed past the point of simple shooters. But right now, as developers are still wrestling with the language of virtual reality, it\u2019s tough to get the basics right in any VR game, much less a big budget shooter. Farpoint isn\u2019t perfect, but it nails those basics.”<\/p>\n

Stevivor<\/a> \u2013 8<\/h3>\n“Judged as a shooter, Farpoint is as generic as they get; thankfully, Impulse Gear\u2019s effort has other things going for it. The side-story is rewarding, even if some of it goes without resolution, and its immersive visuals alone make it a treat to play.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the most in-control I\u2019ve felt whilst playing a game and without doubt the most I\u2019ve ever felt immersed in a game world.

Push Square<\/a> \u2013 7<\/h3>\n“Farpoint leans on novelty to make up for its shortcomings elsewhere, but wielding the PlayStation VR Aim Controller is such a unique experience that it papers over some dated game design. The story is cheesy but has some nice moments, and the action really ramps up towards the tail of the campaign. With an arcade mode and co-op included, Impulse Gear\u2019s inaugural outing is a fulfilling offering, and while there are obvious improvements that could be made, there\u2019s enough here to prove that blockbuster first-person shooters could find a home on PlayStation VR yet.”<\/p>\n
