Happy birthday to the PSVR 2, which has utterly failed to live up to its potential

I reviewed the PSVR 2 highly when it launched last February, but a lack of exclusives makes me more likely to use my Quest 3 instead.

When I reviewed the PSVR 2 last year, I praised the strong launch lineup, even if most games were revamped Meta Quest ports with better graphics and the added annoyance of a wire. Horizon Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil 4 and 8, and Gran Turismo add up to a fairly strong year on paper — if you ignore the fact that three are VR ports of existing titles. VR ports of Skyrim, Resident Evil 7, Star Wars Squadrons, Hitman III, Borderlands 2, and No Man's Sky Beyond make for an impressive list.
