    The reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding the story aspect of the PS VR2, with many users expressing disappointment in its overall performance compared to competitors like the Quest 3. While some appreciate the OLED display and improved experience over older models, the consensus leans towards recommending the Quest 3 for its superior features and reliability, suggesting that the PS VR2 may not be worth the investment for those already using high-end headsets.

    • “For the week I used the app, only positive experience. In my humble opinion, I spent more time playing PC VR on the PSVR2 than in the 2 years I have had the Quest 2 now.”
    • “That said, once you get over the initial hurdle and annoyance, the implementation is really nice, much more pleasant to use than the layers of software required to use a Quest with SteamVR.”
    • “My primary VR headset is the Quest 3, so I'm not sure yet if it's just my perception, but the OLED display on the PSVR2 really pops.”
    • “Just save yourself a lot of time and money here and buy a Quest 3 because there is nothing here to write home about as the PSVR2 is a headset that quite frankly is the biggest disappointment of 2023-2024.”
    • “Over all the PSVR2 isn't worth your time nor money; you would be better off getting a Vive Pro 2 or a Quest 3 or 3S as they offer better tracking and are more reliable than the PSVR2.”
    • “Playing VR games on PSVR2 is not even a smooth experience compared to Meta Quest 3.”

    The stability of the PSVR2 on PC is widely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, tracking issues, and frequent controller disconnects that significantly hinder the experience. Many have spent extensive time troubleshooting, often with little success, leading to frustration and a recommendation to avoid the headset until software updates improve its reliability. Overall, while some users eventually achieve a functional setup, the current state is described as a "buggy mess" that requires urgent fixes.

    • “Even with my deep technical knowledge, I spent more time troubleshooting this headset than playing with it.”
    • “While it's awesome to have PSVR2 running on PC at all, the current software is extremely buggy, almost to the point of unusability.”
    • “Horrible buggy mess currently; would not recommend. I had problems ranging from controller tracking to audio and constant black screens, but the one constant for the past 3 weeks is SteamVR not detecting my headset and giving me errors 108 and 109. Guess I'm just stuck waiting for an update at some point, if it ever happens. Don't recommend using this at all until it's fixed.”
  • graphics20 mentions

    The graphics quality of the PSVR2 on PC is generally praised for its crisp visuals, vibrant colors, and deep blacks, particularly when paired with powerful graphics cards like the RTX 4080 or 4090. However, users with lower-end GPUs, such as the GTX 10 series, report significant performance issues, including pixelation and lag, especially in graphically intensive games. Overall, while the experience can be visually stunning with the right hardware, many users face challenges related to compatibility and performance that can detract from the experience.

    • “Otherwise, PSVR2 on PC is a tremendously good experience, with crisp visuals, incredible color vibrancy, and inky blacks.”
    • “If you have a powerful RTX card (4080+ or maybe a 4090), you will get amazing visuals.”
    • “I’ve played for three hours so far, and I really enjoyed the graphics and games on my PlayStation VR2.”
    • “Graphics are trash.”
    • “The graphics look fine but the tracking and play area are horrible, and this app offers no way to advance the setup when the Sense controllers disconnect or have tracking issues.”
    • “For some reason, some of the games are still super laggy, even after turning down the graphics settings.”
  • optimization14 mentions

    Overall, users report mixed experiences with optimization for the PSVR2 PC adapter. While many appreciate the solid performance and immersive quality, particularly with lower resolutions and features like eye-tracking, issues such as stuttering, pixelation, and subpar Bluetooth tracking persist, necessitating adjustments to settings for optimal performance. Recommendations for improving performance include changing power management settings and disabling certain features in Steam VR.

    • “Probably the best headset on the market, price:performance-wise.”
    • “A couple of other suggestions that I heard and followed were to change power management mode, which can be found in the same NVIDIA control panel sub-menu from the default of normal to prefer maximum performance, disabling HAGS, and disabling motion smoothing in the Steam VR settings.”
    • “I want to start by saying I am a big fan of the PSVR 2; I think the games Sony have made for the headset are truly the highest of quality, as well as building features into the headset such as eye-tracking to aid in overall performance.”
    • “It's good fun, but if I play anything mildly graphically intensive, it's more like a pixelated slideshow because I need to use max performance FSR/DLSS and minimum settings to avoid my 3060 overheating.”
    • “Issue: stuttering when I turn my head/look around.”
    • “Even with the recommended TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth adapter, the tracking performance is disappointing.”
  • humor4 mentions

    Users find humor in the frustrations of technical issues, particularly in the irony of a controller disconnecting despite being connected via Bluetooth. The situation is described with a lighthearted tone, highlighting the absurdity of the circumstances surrounding the setup process.

    • “The setup for setting up the play area was a bit tricky, but the funny part is that the right controller decided to disconnect while it was still connected via Bluetooth! Hahahahaha!”
    • “I thought my joke was funny, but we're like a week out now and I still haven't been able to actually try the app because I require the adapter, and the thing sold out before the first day was over.”
    • “Funny, my first setup had both controllers connected and working fine.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive and tedious, particularly criticizing the need to repeatedly complete long tutorials they have already experienced.

    • “Do the same long, tedious tutorial you've already done!”
    • “The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I spent hours doing the same tasks over and over, and it just became a chore.”
  • gameplay1 mentions

    Players praise the gameplay for its comfort, noting that the controllers fit well in their hands, enabling extended play sessions without fatigue.

    • “The comfort of the controllers is another highlight; they fit perfectly in my hands, allowing for hours of seamless gameplay without any fatigue.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    Users express a sense of regret regarding the game's compatibility on PC, indicating that while it alleviated some disappointment, it ultimately did not meet their emotional expectations.

  • music1 mentions

    The music in the game is well-received, particularly in rhythm-based titles like Beat Saber, where players report smooth tracking and the ability to achieve high scores on expert songs. Overall, the audio experience enhances gameplay and contributes positively to player satisfaction.
