This is the definitive way to play Rez, VR-enabled or otherwise. Rez is already a banger game that pushes the boundaries of the unification of video games and music in a stylish and fun way, so to basically have an HD version of that game with all the bells and whistles that it entails is very cool.

The real upgrade comes from the VR support, as Rez itself is already a rather trippy and immersive game so to have it completely surround your senses feels like an extension of the original vision. Only one minor problem hinders the experience for me: i can't really play this for long periods of time without feeling really bad. Rez is a pretty fast moving rail shooter, and it does spin around pretty frequently at times, so I usually can't play more than one level at a time before calling it quits for the day. Doesn't help that the aiming is most precise with the quick head tracking so you are constantly moving your head around in an already moving environment, it does me in real good.

This game also includes the new Area X mode which is a neat short bonus level that has a ton of the visual upgrades you'd expect from Rez on a modern platform. It's more free-moving though, likely to let the player control the pace in VR to not get super sick, but I still didn't feel that good playing it since turning around basically spins you in place with your head already sideways. blegh.

Overall I legally cannot hate it because it's rez but honestly I think playing this on a nice 4K OLED could be a bit more comfortable and cool than playing in VR.
