This HD remake of the PS2/DC classic Rez breathes some new life into a very old gem, however the update only harms its own image due to simple design mistakes and enhancements that only highlight those mistakes further. On the PS2 targeting was intentionally slow, this meant targeting was timed to the music. Sound FX and visuals tied to targeting and shooting were thus all in sync with the music - that's at the core …

Rez is a cult classic and one of my favorite games. This is a good way to play it, but I have a couple misgivings. First and foremost, the mouse (as opposed to analog stick) is an absolute cheat code. Beating the game this way is not a challenge, at all, period. A lot of the challenge of the original version came from the slow-moving cursor -- you had to put a lot of thought into crosshair placement between enemy …

I've owned multiple copies of Rez/Rez Infinite over the years. Dreamcast, Xbox 360, Playstation 4, Quest, and PC. Tonight was the first time I've ran through it in VR on PC and it's exactly what I needed after a terrible work week. I cannot recommend this game enough VR or no VR. It is and has been in my top 10 games of forever since I played it back in 2001 on the Dreamcast.

OMG! I was about to uninstall the game after finishing it, ready to never play it again, then I saw the steam community posts about Area X, and thank god I did. Base game was a cool experience 7 out of 10. But Area X is something else, 11 out of 10. The idea that I might have missed that experience gives me chills. I played in a OLED 4k 144hz screen and it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seem in a game.

Classic musical arcade shooter. Originally made for the Dreamcast and PS2, it was remastered into HD for the next generation of consoles, and Infinite here was re-remastered for the next-next generation and PC, featuring VR modes and a whole new very short campaign specifically for Rez Infinite. Its gameplay is just a very simplistic railshooter, but the real beauty of it is how it meshes altogether with its …

Players who liked Rez Infinite talk about timeless classic and top favorite for many; those who didn't talk about mouse controls remove challenge and feel bad. Which matters more to you?

I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Rez is about a hacker breaking through firewalls in cyberspace to reach a malfunctioning AI. The gameplay involves flying your character through cyberspace and targeting multiple AI defenses at once to chain your attacks. The game was big on rhythm and [synesthesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia). So the game is trying to get you…

As a dog, you leave instructions in abstract landscapes and watch as the crowd turns, jumps, climbs, pushes, swims, and relentlessly makes its way. A modern take on Lemmings with a focus on spatial puzzles. I tried Humanity on Quest 3 and was mesmerized by the minimalist art style, the animated crowds, and the power inherent…

But now I'm let down for a different reason: too short; like maybe 10-15 minutes. 94% shootdown and never got hit once.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#6: Rez No matter whether you’re playing the Dreamcast version or Rez Infinite in VR, this is a game that just doesn’t age. As well as being an accomplished rail shooter, the audiovisual direction is second to none. This is the one of the games I play when I just want to relax.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes life feels like a constant rush, overloaded with noise, uncertainty and the pressure to keep moving. It's no wonder so many of us search for a break in the blur, somewhere off the grid and away from the static. For many people video games are exactly that kind of space, a sanctuary - both simple and profound. With Rez Infinite I wasn’t looking for much, just something that could ease the pressure a little. At first it seemed like it might be that kind of game, but the effect was…

Rez for Dreamcast/PS2 - not everyone talks about this game but the audience is a lot larger now than it was back when it came out for the Dreamcast and PS2 now that Rez Infinite is available in almost every current platform including the PSVR2. I would’ve also said Another World (aka Out of this World) for the PC and SNES. But this game is also not-too-obscure like Rez. There are articles about it & the creation,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favorite game. I've completed it front to back, gotten 100% on nearly every level, and beaten it several times more after the fact. It's one of those games where, when thinking back on it, I want to play through again. It's nostalgic, timeless, undeniable, and infinite.

neutral · AI labelView post →Game has an amazing sound track and is extremely chill it's older but if you don't mind the somewhat dated graphics I would highly recommend it. The game is a visual / auditory masterpiece. That is the reason to play the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They didn't try very hard at all with the VR implementation, it feels more like a low-effort flatscreen mod with barely any visual depth and a strange warping to the UI. Not to mention it's a complete headache to play for even short amounts of time. Do not acquire this game if the VR mode is what brought you here. Rez, as a remaster, isn’t pleasant either. Despite being a key feature, the music seldom builds into anything memorable, the levels’ short loops quickly get repetitive, and the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There should be a PSA for this- I took the headset off mid game. Caused VR induced depersonalization. Spent the next day trying to reconnect my body and mind to reality. Debating if I want to try any VR at all at this point. And this after many years of Index use. I feel like I needed a gentler way to ease into it without going all Lawnmower Man.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was my childhood. Play in VR mode, with two controllers. Use one as your input device, and one for "trance vibration" mode. Put it behind your back on a chair and let the music suck you in. It's like meeting synthesized god. WARNING: VR mode requires very strong VR legs. Zero vignetting and the entire game is a flying acid trip of sounds and colors.

neutral · AI labelView post →These developers are the GOATS! I love this games' visuals. Rez 1 is all digital and low-poly coolness with some deep messages and story while Area X is a particle palooza! This game, alongside Tetris Effect, is truly a breathtaking visual and audio experience that must be experienced in all ways possible, especially in VR!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not recommend this for VR mode. Non-VR is probably fine, the visuals are stylish and the rhythm is cool. Rez is a rail shooter where everything happens on the beat and you have an aimbot. There's tension in the gameplay: do I acquire more targets (hold trigger for longer) or should I eliminate the targets I have already acquired (release trigger now)? The risk comes from a fire rate that happens on the beat, so if I fire too many short bursts I can't shoot fast enough. The challenge seems…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played nearly every version of this game over the last decade+, starting with a burned CD-R of the Dreamcast original, followed by tens of hours with the PS2 version on emu to unlock all the Direct Assault themes, and finally some time with the PS4 variant as my first HD experience with this game, only really skipping the XBLA variant. Disregard my playtime; Take the fact that I already have the 100% shot down achievement as my proof I know this game at least decently well. I'd certainly…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: REALLY cool Y2K-styled game, sleek style and music, simple gameplay, just not that much content. Rez Infinite is a remastered port of the 2001 Rez for the Dreamcast. It's an on-rails shooter where you don't actually move. Your actual character moves on a fixed "rail" along the stage, and your "analog stick" is simply used to move your aiming reticle. Any projectiles enemies fire at you, you're supposed to shoot down. I SHOULD mention though; mouse controls make this game a LOT more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →REZ is one of relatively few games that is an all-time great for me. I first played on SEGA Dreamcast, then PS2 and now on PC and almost exclusively in VR! I hope Child Of Eden can make it to PC/VR someday, and a sequel to REZ would have me excited too but innovation would still be key!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rez Infinite is on sale on PS so I bought it finally and the VR experience is outstanding. I bounced off this game way back in the day. The VR experience is how it should have always been. Of course it couldn't have been but I'm glad it is now.
positive · AI labelView post →Rez is as fantastic as it ever was, Area X is worth the price of admission. Ultra widescreen is super rad, VR with anything other than Vive and Occulus kind of suck though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →REZ is an old game, but don't get it for the nostalgia. Where this new REZ really shines is the all-new VR experience. I just got a VR headset to mess around with, and the sheer exhilaration I got blasting through the first few levels turned me into a giddy eight year old on his birthday. Born too early to live in a cyberpunk dystopia, but just in time to live out my TRON/Neuromancer fantasy for a while.

I got the game on sale for $7.50, but normally it's $25. I don't think Rez Infinite is worth $25 simply because there isn't enough content for the price. The game is fun for about an hour or so, but quickly gets boring and repetitive. There's only 5 levels in the main story, and it is beatable in about 2 hours. Also, there's no checkpoints in each level, which can make the final…
