Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil Village could be an interesting choice, especially if you are into horror games. Experiencing the next-gen graphics with the 3D audio makes it more appealing.
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge has also made it to our PSVR 2 game reviews list. The story is about a droid technician who operates near the Outer Rim.

Star Wars is a franchise that attracts a huge player base. In the trailer above, it looks like a fun game you could play in your free time, but compared to the first two on our PSVR 2 game reviews list, we could say that it is more for a more niche Star Wars fan base. More alternatives will go out in the upcoming months.

Kyak VR: Mirage lets you paddle your way through the ice caves in Antarctica, as seen at the beginning of the trailer. Moreover, Antarctica is not the only place, as the game offers a couple more regions with different settings.
