EVE: Valkyrie
PlayStation VR is all about immersion and EVE: Valkyrie does a fantastic job at handling this, and even with the presence of microtransactions, EVE: Valkyrie is still one of the best experiences thus far on PSVR.

story
36 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is minimal, primarily consisting of a few short tutorial missions that serve more as training than a cohesive narrative, lasting around 10-20 minutes. Players express disappointment over the lack of a substantial single-player campaign, feeling that the potential for a rich story was squandered in favor of multiplayer content. While the initial missions are enjoyable, many reviewers wish for more depth and content in the single-player experience, given the game's rich sci-fi universe.
“Even for just the experience of the few 'story' missions (basically just dogfights with bots, and some nonsense narrative), I was actually pretty happy with the purchase.”
“The training missions are superb, the music pumping, the chaos of the action is intense, the controls feel great.”
“Very good VR title, visuals are stunning, the combat is fluid and quick to get the hang of. If you are a fellow capsuleer, you will love seeing some of the ships and structures in a whole new light.”
“No story, no concept.”
“It's only multiplayer, and that's the big shame here because they had such a great chance to be the best single player experience on the platform, and they instead made 2 missions of thrilling story that lasted for all of 10 minutes, and then infinite multiplayer.”
“If there was a full single player campaign then I'd definitely recommend it; alas, there's no such thing beyond the tease that is the first mission.”
Eve Valkyrie Review
At its heart Valkyrie is a straightforward, arcade shooter which lacks enough variety in its gameplay to stop it growing stale quite quickly, and, for the asking price, it’s perhaps only fully recommendable to the most enthusiastic of space pirates.

There is nothing quite like experiencing the catapult launch in EVE Valkyrie in VR. The game looks amazing, and the cross-play is seamless. The single player is a welcome addition, albeit a short one, and the new Carrier Assault mode shows commitment to expanding the game by developer CCP. Let’s hope they bring a steady stream of new modes, maps, and ship models to keep this gorgeous game fresh and alive.
