Farpoint

Farpoint is a virtual reality space adventure set on a hostile alien planet. It can be played with the PS VR Aim Controller. It also features online cooperative play, and includes a single-player campaign.

Farpoint was announced at E3 2016. It was developed by San Francisco-based developer Impulse Gear. A downloadable expansion called Cryo Pack was released on June 27, which featured new maps and levels. A second downloadable content pack called Versus Expansion Pack was released on December 5, which featured two new PvP modes, three new player skins and 15 new weapons, in addition to a progressive XP system.

Farpoint received generally positive reviews and has a score of 71% on Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 25% of critics.

IGN awarded it a score of 7.5 out of 10, saying "Fantastic gunplay and freedom of movement sets PSVR's Farpoint apart from most VR shooting galleries." GameSpot awarded it 7 out of 10, saying "Despite shifting gears in surprising ways and extending the life of its gunplay by remixing levels, Farpoint is more like a proof of concept than a game designed to push the envelope on its own terms." Game Informer also awarded it 7 out of 10, saying "Farpoint may not move the needle as a shooter, but it's a sound VR experience." Destructoid similarly awarded it 7 out of 10, and said "the biggest problem is that all of these technical advancements aren't backed up by a setting that does it justice."
