Rez Infinite Critic Reviews

An already amazing journey into synesthesia achieves its full potential with PS VR and Area X.

Lovingly remade in high definition and enhanced via optional PlayStation VR support, Rez Infinite crystallises, polishes and preserves Rez's legacy, making it an essential purchase for PSVR adopters and standard PS4 owners alike. The untethered 3D-cyberspace of Area X presents a tantalising vision of the IP's potential future and adds an extra layer to what is undoubtedly the definitive edition of Mizuguchi's masterpiece.

The death of the Dreamcast. The birth of PlayStation VR. Rez's singular orbit stays outside of a mercurial industry and remains as powerful and as relevant as it was fifteen years ago. By its architecture and through its nature, there isn't a time when Rez won't be beautiful. PlayStation VR, as it happens now, is the best way to experience it in 2016.

Rez Infinite improves on perfection. The best reason to own a PlayStation VR headset.

I don't know how this series keeps holding on, but I'm glad it does. Initially debuting as a Sega exclusive, it jumped ship to Microsoft, and now, Sony. I don't really care who gets it next, I just want more Rez.

With its 1080p resolution and crisper visuals, you’ll find very little reason to not pick this up and play. This is the best that Rez has ever been.

The breathtaking return of a timeless masterpiece, that thanks to VR support becomes a mesmerizing lucid dream. Simply put, pure digital ecstasy: from now on, I'll never be able to play Rez in any other way.

Hands down, the ultimate Rez version, made even more impressive and entertaining by the excellent integration of PSVR.

This is a timeless gem, an audiovisual piece of art that didn’t lose any of its fascination even after 14 years, while thanks to the VR implementation you feel closer to the action than ever before.

Rez Infinite is a brilliant combination of new and old. Despite originally being released in 2001, 'Rez' feels like it was always meant to be played with head tracking and in virtual reality. From the ease of aiming to the excitement of scrolling past its trippy dreamscapes, every part of it feels enhanced. Throw in the excellent 'Area X,' and players also get a look at the captivating future that is in store for the beloved title.

Rez: Infinite is already awesome, but the VR experience makes it so much better. Without any distractions you can see, hear and feel Rez Infinite. Amazing.

Rez Infinite is an excellent sensitive experience enjoyable with PS VR or in the classic way. The new Area X has all the spirit of the original cult classic game with the power of the actual hardware and let us waiting for more of that universe.

Still enjoyable without PlayStation VR, Rez Infinite becomes one of the most engaging experiences playable with the PS4 virtual headset. For his main and well-known campaign and its new and so enjoyable Area X mode that, we hope, is a glimpse for a possible Rez 2.

This is the closest thing to total immersion we have come yet with VR. Sound, vision, motion in a higher symbiosis.

The ultimate way to experience synaesthesia.

A remarkable update of a classic videogame, Rez Infinite is a perfect fit for PS VR. The astonishing new Area X is worth the cost of entry alone. Utterly essential.

Even if you’re not coming into this with a brain full of nostalgia, the astonishing, zen-like freedom provided by Area X is unmissable VR.

Rez Infinite is 15 years old, and the best VR game of 2016.

Interactions between visual effects, electronic soundtrack and player’s attacks are almost narcotic when you play Rez Infinite using PS VR.

Timeless gameplay, visuals and music come together in one of the best shoot ‘em-ups of all time; with the new level and VR options only adding to the immersion.
