One area they used on the trailer was the Don’t Blink element, which is using the eye-tracking feature in the best way I have seen on PSVR2 so far. It just seems the amount of high speed elements and big drops have been reduced in Switchback VR, which is a big shame – as the carnival rollercoaster ride feeling and the fast-paced dodging segments were a big part of Rush of Blood. This leads to the actual rollercoaster element of the game and in most cases to me it feels more like a ghost-train over a rollercoaster. The next is puzzles, but these are very simple to solve and not that taxing and in most cases stop the ride still – which drags you away for the rollercoaster experience. This sees you trying to save characters from each game – making the decision to help them or not and bringing in multiple paths on the rides, sort of giving you that choice the standard games offer. Supermassive Games have brought in some elements for The Dark Pictures to make it feel more in the games universe, but these two elements to me sort of took away from it, as in most cases the rollercoaster slowed down or stopped. It seems like the team have relied more on the game just going dark or taking your guns off you to build tension – where Rush of Blood seemed to build it up without relying on these sort of things. Throughout the first playthrough, I would say there was only two times in total where I felt totally freaked out and the over-used close up in your face jump scares got boring quickly. Which for me is a shame, as someone who has played all The Dark Pictures games, I personally feel Little Hope had the most potential to mess with you in a horror aspect. However, for me Switchback VR seems to rely on cheap jump scares that soon become old, and it seems after the rides based on Man of Medan they get less scary overall as you moved further through. They then introduce a horror element to the rides making them more like a ghost-train than a general rollercoaster. In order to dispatch these you will be given a basic set of pistols like in Rush of Blood, and creates strategically placed that will give you guns like shotguns and smg’s – until the magazines deplete and then you are back to your pistols. With the rollercoaster element allowing for slow down in areas or coming to halt as waves of enemies spawn in for you to kill. ![]() The main element for your gameplay is the shooting and this really is the standout part of the gameplay for me. Where this might sound like it’s something that is outdated for Virtual Reality with how long the medium has how been available – it still holds up in some areas, where falling off track in others. Switchback VR’s gameplay is exactly what it says on the tin… a rollercoaster action horror shooter.
