Review: Blood and Truth on PS4

Blood and Truth PS4 (Sony)

Strap on Sony’s VR kit to transform into a former SAS man, fighting for his family’s honour in an English gangster thriller. The on-the-rails action involves running through casinos, art galleries, and other locations, sneaking behind cabinets, picking locks, and bringing out the big guns. Shooting around corners and over table-tops feels weirdly realistic.

There’s none of the motion sickness sometimes associated with VR, although there is danger galore. At one point, while lobbing a grenade at a bunch of Danny Dyer types, I full on punched myself in the VR headset. There were a couple of moments where the controls went haywire. Leaping from a four-storey building, I grabbed scaffolding only to find myself floating in the air five feet away from my disembodied hands. Blood And Truth is like being embedded in a Guy Ritchie movie. The cartoon characters, plot twists and explosive action will keep you imprisoned for hours within a VR fantasy.
