10 Most Promising PlayStation VR Games Coming In 2016

6. Adr1ft If you're prepared to look past the arbitrary replacement of a letter with a number in the title (I know, I know, it's not easy), then there's a lot to get excited about in the space-survival VR experience, Adr1ft. The game has been fittingly compared to the movie Gravity, as you play an astronaut exploring a destroyed space station and its surroundings with no idea of what happened or how you found yourself there. You explore different rooms on the ship, solving puzzles while monitoring your oxygen levels and topping them up when they start running low. While the game looks incredibly immersive, the gameplay footage suggests that, if anything, it captures the claustrophobia of the stranded astronaut's predicament a bit too well. The floaty movement looks only semi-controllable and a little nauseating, and listening to the increasingly suffocated sound of her breathing might cause you to agitatedly start loosening your tie and unbuttoning your top shirt buttons after a while. All of that's to the credit of the technology though. They can always play the marketing angle of "Want to know how horrible and helpless you'd feel stuck in the zero-gravity void of space? Well, now you can!" In all seriousness though, Adr1ft looks like one of the more immersive early VR games... even if it does induce illness.
