Werewolves Within Critic Reviews

Werewolf Within is one of the best VR games released so far and a huge surprise. Once you have found the right group is really hard to leave the match: every gaming session end after many hours and laughs.

The first few months of PlayStation VR have delivered a vast range of experiences, but I have to say that Werewolves Within is my personal favourite. It’s such a basic concept, but how it’s realised brings players together in a way that’s rarely done in videogames. The community is fantastic and helpful, the rules are easy to pick up, and soon enough you’re mixing it up with people from all over.

Werewolves Within shows us that virtual reality games shouldn't necessarily bring people to new worlds or in extreme conditions. They can also bring us around a campfire, just talking with other players and enjoying all the fun that this game can offer!

Bugs aside, Werewolves Within is an incredible social experience and the first online game to really make it feel like you are sitting around the campfire with seven other people.

Werewolves Within is a fantastic social VR experience based on the famous role playing game that you must have played at least once with your friends. A must have.

Werewolves Within is one of the best games currently available for VR. Immediate and fun, it is a perfect board (video)game for anyone.

Werewolves Within is a fun and social VR-game in which you must find all the werewolves within your group of people. The core mechanics are simple, but the game stays enjoyable even after longer sessions. Only if the price would have been a bit lower.

Easy to pick up after only a couple of rounds, this is one of the best social virtual reality experiences you'll have - but only if you find the right people to bark at.

Over time, as you form a pack of new friends who are up for regular games, this could transform into a regular party night classic –albeit one where your party guests are in different houses. And might need worming.

With the right crowd, the whole thing is incredible fun.

Depending on the people you're playing with, Werewolves Within is either an amazing social experience or a boring lonely one.

Werewolves Within is a really good experience, and it made us feel like we were there sitting and playing with other people. Still, being VR-only, and requiring 5 people to be online to play it, it's a risky purchase.

An intimidating and mixed VR experience, but could appeal to fans of the ‘whodunnit’ genre.

An innovative proposal for VR users. Really fun and engaging experience, but maybe a bit too complex in the beginning for some players.

Werewolves Within is a very clever game that successfully turns a real-world party game into the virtual sphere that works on all levels. It’s quite clever and one really enjoyable VR experience on the PlayStation VR but its premise may get a little repetitive!

It's a simple and fun online game with such a great VR integration, but its current low population makes it hard to recommend.

When it works and none of the seven players have any audio or connectivity issues, Werewolves Within is competitive, surprisingly friendly, easy to jump into and even easier to play for hours on end, building up an active repertoire of new online friends as you go. When it doesn’t work, though, it’s inexcusably hard to play, and that’s unfortunately very often.
