Looks like the first VR game I'm covering is a Final Fantasy fishing game, and while it may seem very silly on the surface, this game offers a very calming, hype, and immersive experience, especially for you FFXV fans out there. In Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV, you play as a newcomer to the world of Eos, who is very customizable which I should add, and with your fishing prowess, you explore the vast and beautiful world of Eos. That right there is definitely one of the highlights for me personally. As someone who adored the world of FFXV, it was a blast being able to fish at different iconic spots, with the different monsters and creatures in the backgrounds and in the ponds themselves, to add to the atmosphere. In addition, and this may sound weird, but the FISH are oddly very detailed, and just look super good up close. It sounds super weird, but to be fair, if you're making a VR fishing game, you'd want the fish to look as detailed as possible.
Gameplay wise, Monster of the Deep has very simple controls. Since I have also gone fishing IRL, it was very cool to see what elements of IRL fishing they implemented into VR fishing. For instance, to simplify the controls, they had it where casting is just like on a beginner's rod, where holding the button down on the rod (or in this case the PS Move controllers), winding back, and releasing the button as you jerk it forward. In Monster of the Deep, however, it was a little finicky trying to get a perfect cast. A lot of the time you just either undershoot or overshoot the area you're aiming for. The more I played though, the more I got accustomed to the controls, so it wasn't much of an issue.
Now if i had to give some complaints, the game was pretty short. With only 5 story missions, I finished the game in 3 1/2 hours, which was a bummer, since each area gives you a one-on-one moment with the FFXV cast. The devs could have expanded it more with more of the cast, but to be fair, you don't play this game for the story. A lot of my time with this game was with the free play mode. Super relaxing, catching VR fish, it was the life. Of course, you could just go to the local pond and fish, but why would any gamer do that if there's VR as an option? ;) To finish this off, I'd say if you have a VR and loved the base FFXV game, this should be on your radar. But wait for it to go on sale. The normal price is $30, and I got it for $15, which is a much better deal than what their asking normally.
