Once youвЂ™re an hour or so into Fracked and youвЂ™ve seen the main beats, you can tell where the remaining two hours will probably go, and it doesnвЂ™t throw any zany curveballs. There are a few of these setpieces - enough where itвЂ™s enjoyable without overstaying its welcome. Thankfully, you arenвЂ™t just mindlessly heading up every time.ДЄs for the skiing, itвЂ™s probably the most nuanced from a control perspective in that if you lean too hard, you can take turns much sharper than you mightвЂ™ve intended. Fracked has the right mix of physicality and creative obstacle-course routes.

In a lot of video games, climbing - even in VR - can be so routine it becomes boring. Except for some moments with ladders that are, well, ladders, the one-hand-at-a-time climbing mixes things up as much as possible. Some of them chase after you and explode, and some are like mini-bosses that have to be put into a vulnerable state with well-timed shots at the mines they scatter around the arena.ДЄside from the run-and-gunning, thereвЂ™s quite a bit of climbing in Fracked, with cool moments where youвЂ™re snaking your way around precarious scaffolding in all directions, or scurrying across power lines before they zap you with a pattern-based surge. You can see enemy outlines (to a point) as theyвЂ™re shuffling around, which I dig from a playability standpoint. I wonвЂ™t go on and on about the combat other than to say I like the way it encourages you to move around as much as possible, whether itвЂ™s to pick up enemy-dropped ammo, get the jump on a foe, or avoid being flanked by reinforcements. The AI gets to a point where it doesnвЂ™t miss all that much, and to regenerate health, youвЂ™ll need to find a safe spot and not take any more hits for a bit. Why would you ever slink down into cover? Reloading your gun is a two-step physical action, and until youвЂ™re proficient with it, itвЂ™s better to do it in cover. This isnвЂ™t necessarily the best way to play, and if youвЂ™re surrounded, youвЂ™ll likely get taken out, but I appreciate that Fracked let me be risky if and when I wanted to be. There are several comfort settings, too.ДЄdmittedly, midway through, I was sprinting around like a madman, popping off shots before the corrupted miners could fully retaliate. If youвЂ™re not entirely convinced or are worried about nausea, IвЂ™d recommend the demo for Fracked. In short, one Move is for your gun and quick turns, and the other Move is used for walking/running and grabbing surfaces to pop in and out of cover. The player movement feels effortless, which is particularly impressive given that nDreams pulled it off with two PlayStation Move controllers in a seated setup. I canвЂ™t believe I didnвЂ™t have any issues with my arms going out of bounds or my hands glitching.

This flows super well, and once youвЂ™ve gotten used to the controls, youвЂ™ll be able to zip around and pop a squat without thinking. (Aside from some limited-use power weapons like a grenade launcher and revolver, thatвЂ™s really it.) YouвЂ™ll sometimes want to grab onto the corner of a wall, or a box, or whateverвЂ™s lying around to take a breather youвЂ™ll physically pull yourself down with one hand while the other still has your gun ready to go. When I think of вЂњcover,вЂќ I tend to think вЂњslow.вЂќ In Fracked, thereвЂ™s more of a frantic arcade-shooter vibe - almost like TimeSplitters, albeit with a limited pistol and SMG arsenal. While you could sum it up as a cover-based FPS, and there is a big emphasis on a pretty novel cover system, thatвЂ™s not the whole picture.

ItвЂ™s not too important to know the story setup, which involves infiltrating a mountain mining base, and putting a stop to an otherworldly invasion - the important bit is that itвЂ™s overrun with bad dudes who donвЂ™t bleed red, and theyвЂ™re a whole lot of fun to fight.ДЇracked never sits still, whether youвЂ™re hanging onto the side of your buddyвЂ™s helicopter, zipping in between trees and dodging snowmobile goons while skiing, or ziplining over a chasm with a gun in your free hand. I didnвЂ™t encounter a single control-related issue or hiccup, which must be a first.ДЇracked (PlayStation VR )

Aside from the action-movie-esque premise, which in gameplay terms boils down to fast-shooting fun without longwinded expository fluff, my favorite part of Fracked is that it just works. This is a game that feels expertly tailored to the platform, and when weвЂ™re talking about tech like PSVR thatвЂ™s hanging in there as best it can, itвЂ™s no small feat. It feels like ages since IвЂ™ve toyed with my PlayStation VR setup, much less tried out something new for it, but long story short - after finally charging my Move controllers (like I always seem to need to) and getting cozy - IвЂ™m glad I made the effort for Fracked. One of the smoothest PlayStation VR games IвЂ™ve ever played, and thatвЂ™s saying something
