![]() It’s a small victory, but at this point, I’ll take what I can get. ![]() There is one catch though: the game does run at 60fps most of the time. Your field of view is quite limited, meaning that larger rooms feature Nintendo 64-esque fog and the textural quality leaves a lot to be desired. It’s brighter and more detailed than the Switch version, but uglier than any other version released thus far, Oculus Rift included. The limited horsepower also took a toll on the game’s visuals. And given how slowly your character moves through the mansion’s corridors, you won’t feel motion sickness at all. While the doomed ocean liner setting doesn’t quite give Layers 2 the artistic licence to be as brazenly bonkers as its predecessor, it finds other ways to drop the holy crap moments in your lap. Like Layers of Fear before it, this walking simulator / puzzle-lite game takes players on a longer trip with insanity this time around. It feels more natural than teleporting your body around. Layers of Fear 2 is one heck of a horror thriller. It is not very easy to get used to and it’s stupidly cumbersome, but hey, it is immersive. But Layers of Fear VR actually features a free roaming movement system which uses one of the main Move buttons from one the sticks, as well as most of the face buttons in order to strafe and move the camera around. The Move controllers do not have analog sticks, which is why most PSVR games feature a “teleportation” mechanism (you aim at a place and you’re transported there). I will give Bloober Team kudos for one thing: trying very hard to make this game work under so many limitations. But most of its issues just stem from the fact that at the end of the day, Layers of Fear just isn’t very good. Some of its main issues are derived from the fact this is being played on the PSVR, a VR system that just cannot handle fancy graphics and free roaming controls very well. Everything you love (or didn’t) about the original Layers of Fear is back, but with a few tweaks that do make the game slightly more immersive, but in no way scarier. The same plot progression, the same puzzles, the same excruciatingly irritating jumpscares. Layers of Fear VR is exactly the same game as before, just with a new perspective and control scheme. I tried it out on the PS4, and while it looked remarkably better in terms of visuals, it still ended up being a boring walking simulator with a predictable plot, bland corridor-esque level design, and cheap jumpscares. It comprises the original Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, all the expansions for both and a fresh chapter. I thought to myself that maybe there was hope for the base game, that if played on a beefier console it would actually be quite good. Bloober Team has provided an in-depth look at its reimagined Layers of Fear collection. This meant I was playing a version with significantly inferior visuals and some audio glitches. ![]() When I first checked out Layers of Fear, I made the mistake of starting off by playing the Switch version. ![]() ![]() That was what I wanted to tell the devs before starting Layers of Fear VR.
