00:00 The best PSVR 2 games are currently a strange mix of older titles originally released for

00:06 PSVR 1 or other VR headsets, and stage setters like Horizon Call of the Mountain.

00:11 The launch window for the headset will see the release, or re-release, of over 30 titles,

00:16 so arranging a list for the best PSVR 2 games could change dramatically over the next month

00:22 or so.

00:23 Here are the experiences we currently consider to be the best PSVR 2 games to explore at

00:27 launch.

00:29 Kayak VR Mirage will make you want to take off the PSVR 2 headset and head for the water,

00:34 but as a second best to the real thing, the water physics and graphics here are utterly

00:38 stunning.

00:39 It's one of those games that can fit with whatever pace you're looking for.

00:42 Race against a leaderboard of fellow kayakers, take the scenic route in free roam mode, or

00:47 just sit back and enjoy the views.

00:49 There's nothing quite like paddling alongside a stingray in Costa Rica after a stressful

00:53 day at work, especially when it looks as good as this.

00:56 It's mechanically brilliant too, accurately mirroring how it feels and works using a kayak

01:01 in real life.

01:02 There are few games that have surprised and delighted me like What The Golf, so it should

01:07 come as little surprise that What The Bat, the spiritual successor from the same developer,

01:11 has quickly become one of my favourite titles among the admittedly short PSVR 2 launch line-up.

01:17 The premise of the game is relatively simple, use two bats to hit trophies.

01:21 This starts with the basic 'hit ball to hit trophy' and escalates wildly to scenarios

01:25 requiring you to brush your teeth with a bat and more.

01:28 This creative game will have you giggling to yourself behind a VR headset.

01:32 Moss Book 2 is a perfect game for anyone who's worried about the motion sickness that can

01:37 come from a first person VR experience.

01:39 Both a compelling story and a clever take on the 3D platforming games, Moss Book 2 puts

01:44 you in the shoes of a Ghibli-like spirit that aids a heroic mouse on its quest for glory.

01:48 It may not be a new game, but its lovely environments are brought to life like never before by PSVR

01:53 2's OLED display.

01:54 This is a truly relaxing VR experience that makes clever use of the hardware and one you

01:59 can happily lose hours to, all the while controlling an adorable wee mouse.

02:04 Demiurge brings the tabletop gaming experience to VR with brilliant success.

02:08 Looming over procedurally generated dungeons, you'll be able to walk through multiple floors

02:13 of enemies, mysteries and potential traps either alone or with friends.

02:17 The interactivity of moving your characters around using cards from your hand that are

02:21 revealed at the flick of the wrist is really enjoyable.

02:23 This is a great social game to play with friends who also have VR headsets, and it's also

02:27 quite a good dungeon crawler, with the procedurally generated enemies also adding a bit of longevity.

02:33 Horizon Call of the Mountain is the best PSVR 2 game because it's the only one truly made

02:37 solely for the hardware, and thus the best at showing off what it's capable of.

02:41 It's also brilliant because it's a brilliant game in and of itself.

02:44 Visually stunning, it does well to translate the magic of Horizon's console gameplay into

02:48 a brilliantly virtual reality setting, offering a unique storyline.

02:52 Moe combat is great, as are the robot dinosaurs in all their giant scale.

02:56 Not to mention all the little details Fire Sprites and Guerrilla have added to the world

02:59 to bring it to life in VR.

03:01 It's unmissable if you have a PSVR 2.
