Thank you Jammy, once again it's a huge honor for us that you rate Snow Scout that highly! Making this game took a high toll on us - mentally, physically and financially - so it really is appraisals like this that make the whole undertaking worthwile 🥳🎉
Hopefully Snow Scout becomes one of those games that people keep hearing about and picking up over time. It seems really cool. I know I'm planning on buying it once I clear out a bit of my backlog. Best of luck with 90's Extreme Skiing!
@@TunermaxxMedia Wow, that soon?! Impressive! I guess it's a good idea to release a skiing game while it's still winter! Ever since Fracked I've wanted a good VR skiing game, so I hope it turns out great!
You're gonna hear Oculus people shit on the PSVR, but the newer headset is remarkable. Its the lightest, most comfortable headset on the market since all of the hardware is in the system. I bought a racing rig JUST for Gran Turismo 7 & its a must play for anyone that comes over

Great choice for Game of the Year! You were the only reviewer that I saw that wasn't nitpicking it and was very impressed. It's SO satisfying to play and visually AMAZING!
@@stevelenores5637 Yes it has Steve. Most people now a days are buying games digitally. If you are having problems with storage space, then buy a SSD HDD. I bought a 2TB and I have tons of games on my PS5 now. Haven't had a storage problem since i bought it. Trust me, that is the solution.
Played Behemoth after the Day 7 patch and it was amazing! Completely lived up to the hype in my opinion, the behemoths were the star of the show obviously, but the human combat was also some of the best in VR. Fingers crossed for a DLC with a new Behemoth or even a Behemoth 2 announcement🤞
Psvr2 has been worth it regardless of what bad press it's had in the past. For any new VR users out there interested in a unique and physically stunning experience, psvr2 gives that and more (a community like no other).
Agree with pretty much all of this, though you've finally convinced me to give vertigo a chance. Been hovering over it for a while but you including in the goty sealed the deal 👌
My experience with Vertigo 2 included several save ending bugs where I would restart under the stage and unable to play. That was 6 months after release post patches. It was a fun game until I lost progress 3 times and noped out.
So happy you gave Into the Radius a heads up, my most immersive VR experience i had, what a game, pure immersion and so good, love it! Also the others great picks and agree with Behemoth GOTY.
For me behemoth was amazing . I got pretty mad with the bugs and made a few angry comments but the final patch solved most issues . They still need to block off the behemoth areas as you can still fast travel there once you've completed the game and the game goes a bit weird with fake textures and flashing screen .
Great choices, difficult to disagree with any to be honest… and that’s a good thing! 100% with you on Helldivers 2. My brother finally upgraded to a PS5 and said he’d got Helldivers 2, so I picked it up not knowing much about it. It’s not really the kind of game I’d go for but I’ve sunk over 350 hours into it. It’s fun, it’s addictive, great community, devs constantly updating and keeping it fresh… just need a VR mode now and it’ll be perfect 😅
Great job with the list, Jammy! I was a bit surprised that Walkabout edged out GT7 for best ongoing game (considering how much coverage you've given GT7's updates), but it's a strong pick for sure. Hope you're having a good holiday season. It's been great to see your channel gain traction over the past year. Can't wait to see what 2025 holds! 🍻
This year, I mostly played Resident Evil 4, Ancient Dungeon, Metro Awakening and Into the Radius. My game of the year would be Into the Radius, but to be honest they're all excellent in their own way. I'll probably buy Behemoth and Alien later, but I want to know more about Arken Age first (and give the devs more time to polish their games). I can't buy everything all at once, I have to chose which game to buy in priority.
Pretty spot on list, glad compound got a mention. I think a category for game made by one person should be there, and that would be Vertigo 2 for me. Surprised behemoth got 1st, For me it is Metro, with Alien or vertigo 2 second and Behemoth 3rd. But understandable choice.
Had the psvr 1 before but got a psvr 2 in the sales and the difference in clarity is incredible. I Played resident evil 4 and at the start in the basement the ganado came down the stairs and I took one look at it ran past him up the stairs, and bolted it to the front door past the other two ganados walking around. My fight or flight kicked in for real the immersion was that good. Obviously it was locked so I had no choice but to fight but it was an incredible experience and captured that “psvr2 is amazing” moment.
Great list. I guessed all of them except "Best Shooter" (I bought ITTR on launch and have hardly touched it! So much shame...) and "Best Soundtrack". I was certain you were going to pick Metal Hellsinger (I'm not a huge fan of metal, but it's so good in that game). I picked up Vertigo 2 the other week and look forward to jumping in (sooooo much backlog!). Keep it up, and happy holidays, Jammy!
Just got my PSVR 2 yesterday, absolutely loving it so far, by far the best VR headset I’ve owned so far, reprojection luckily doesn’t bother me, Mura I barely notice, headset is great so far, works great on my pc too 🎉
Just bought one getting it next week, perfect storm in Canada . The latest price drop from Sony and we are having a GST holiday made this a deal too good to pass on. GST in Canada for those not living here is a 7% tax on all goods purchased.
Great video man. You picked a great game of the year. Behemoth kicks-ass. And so many other great games too. Anyone still complaining about PSVR2 at this point must just like to bitch and moan. 😂
Just got the psvr2 at the weekend. Incredible piece of kit !! Im a little concerned with upkeep tho. Im trying to treat it with care but what happens if the controllers fail outside of warranty? I have seen some on ebay used for £100/$125 but thats not exactly ideal just shelling out loads on controllers or headsets... Any tips be greatly appreciated ❤️
I dont know... I just downloaded Phasmophobia and... me and my sister arent really havin fun yet. We're just confused. I feel like we have to do research to understand the game. Wouldve appreciated an ingame tutorial or for broader difficulty settings. Looking forward to behemoth now!
there is an in-game tutorial but it isn’t the best - i’d say maybe have a look at some videos talking through the game mechanics or perhaps some gameplay videos in general, as some of the fun comes from figuring it out yourself. Hopefully you start to enjoy it soon, I absolutely love it. Behemoth is an easy one to like though, good combat and story, massive scale, smooth frame rate!
Just got my PlayStation wrap-up for the year and the funniest stat was the whopping 5 hours of Multiplayer gameplay time total all Year! 😂 Guess I’m not getting any value from PS Plus 😂. My biggest PSVR2 purchase regret is Vertigo 2 since launch. Loving Behemoth! 12 hours in so far.
Thw extra reaolution compared to the pavr1 is makong alll of the difference, as well as the look through functionality and controllers. This is HEADS AND TAILS better. I think were very close to a Ready Player 1 situation
The Psvr2 has a green like grainy film i see playing re4, and it has a binocular vision and the 110 field view isn't enough. It may be better for others cause im blind in one eye so maybe it's clear for everyone else
Turn off the vignette mode in the options. That will give you that binocular effect. They do that to keep people from getting motion sickness. I always turn it off because to me it sucks. Looks like tunnel vision. Hope that helps.
@tomg1282 I don't see no vignette mode in the re4 options, I do see tunnel vision and I Been turned that off....but I don't see anything about that mode
@okthen5566 Maybe that was it. I turned mine off too. Sorry. Other games say vignette mode. Maybe RE4 says it different. If you turned off tunneling that should do it.
@tomg1282 it still has a binocular vision even when you turn tunnel vision off, but thanks for mentioning vignette mode cause the only vr games I got is re4 and horizon will be getting more games soon
I have no idea why people continue to say Madison is the scariest game. If it wasn't for the cheap jump scares it is basically just a slow walk through a dark house with obscure puzzles. Any game would be "scary" if it throws up scary looking creatures with a loud sound in front of your face but does that make it a scary game? I was really disappointed with it after all the hype. The "scares" got to be more annoying than scary. Take away the jump scares & what do you have? Basically a dull game. If you really want to play an actual scary game then play Alien Isolation in VR. That game is absolutely terrifying. (Played on PSVR2 on PC).
Well isolation is not on psvr2 so quit your moaning. Maddison is insane and everyone thinks the same apart from you. Boring people think all games are boring! The issue lies with one’s self
For a favorite narrative couldn't bother to learn the main character's name? yeah he's the reincarnation of Gengis Khan. It was good, but the opening hour and final hour were so terrible. Good pick with Legendary Tales. Love the content, if only Astrobot had a VR mode!
Madison was great but way too many jumpscares. Halfway through the game I wasn’t even reacting to them anymore. Supposedly dlc is coming to the flat version. Wonder if it’ll also be ported to vr. Can’t wait for more horror games next year!
@@davidgriffin7235 Well in the first half (maybe the first quarter) or 2025 there's Hitman World of Assassination, Arken Age, Aces of Thunder (probably), and Wanderer: Fragments of Fate. And that's just what we know about so far. Hopefully there are some other big surprises, but I think the first half of 2025 at least will be pretty packed.
And what headset doesn't? Quest is 95 percent indies too. That's just reality. And PSVR2 is a better headset in my opinion. And if you disagree you can always sell it and get something else.
My GOTY in VR is probably max mustard although its not my fav game ever, its probably the best we had this year (Haven't played Metro yet) Also really want CyubeVR to add multiplayer Having Bugsmaphobia as the best hybrid game really shows how pathetic this year has been (my friend can literally not open doors at all) bar a few releases and I personally was really disappointed with Behemoth. 2 0f the behemoth fights themselves being completely ruined to bugs and jank. Its crazy how 2 people can experience 2 different games
this is correct (I think)! based on my memory it didn’t, but I think it does now that you’ve mentioned it. I’ll have to double check though, but that’s my mistake in the video
Had my psvr2 since launch and still loving it! Welcome to all the people who got one over the holidays 🙌
Same here! Dam the haters!
Also a day one owner and happy to welcome more to the PSVR2 community. Let’s make 2025 an even bigger year for VR.
Just got mine, what headphones do you use?
@@MrJclynJean I've got the Globular Cluster headphones that clip on to the side pretty decent the Globular Cluster headset mod is a must though.
@@MrJclynJean I’ve got the 3D Pulse headphones and they are pretty decent.
As a Producer on Behemoth, this video truly made my day and an excellent late Christmas present
So why wasn't it release by Christmas 2024? I still don't even have a shipping date yet.
@@stevelenores5637 It did come out before Christmas 2024 digitally. The physical version was delayed, probably (hopefully) so they could get all the major patches incorporated into the disk version. It takes weeks if not months to produce and distribute physical media.
waiting for the physical version to play it
@@GreyMatterShades I chose the disk version because VR games tend to be in the 10G+ range in memory. Hopefully the disk version will save some memory.

@@GreyMatterShades yes, fingers crossed 😸 And if all goes to plan, 90s Extreme Skiing will be out next month already!
@@TunermaxxMedia Wow, that soon?! Impressive!
I guess it's a good idea to release a skiing game while it's still winter!

Snowscout is a game i will most def pick up this winter!
I had just gotten a Psvr2 for christmas and i am loving it worth the purchase
You're gonna hear Oculus people shit on the PSVR, but the newer headset is remarkable. Its the lightest, most comfortable headset on the market since all of the hardware is in the system. I bought a racing rig JUST for Gran Turismo 7 & its a must play for anyone that comes over
@nickharmer9722 are you saying they updated the PS Vr 2 headset?

Nope, not me at least.
@ only had it yesterday so I’ve gone back to Sony for a replacement. Hopefully the new one will work well.

Behemoth needed more behemoths and less human combat.
Even though it is DLC Beat Saber’s Metallica Pack deserves recognition.
