Just WOW! If you are on the fence about buying this, do yourself a favour and get this immediately. I've spent most of the weekend playing. Started on the flat screen, thought I was being clever by remapping all the buttons to my preferred set (L1 brake, R1 accelerate, L2/R2 Yaw, Left stick pitch and roll, etc etc) and eventually went with their suggested default. It took me some time to learn the controls and they work well.
Completed roughly half the campaign on flat screen - fantastic sound and visuals. Enjoyable missions and experimenting with different ships and loadouts added variety. Nervously tried the VR, wondering if it would be blurry but my gosh, it's spot on. Difficult to put into words but the VR is simply incredible. One of those rare games when I didn't care if I died in game, just hit retry and boom, straight back in the action. Little to no motion sickness that does happen with Ace Combat, meaning I can confidently and comfortably play for a long time.
No frustrating loading times, you can skip the FMV and skip the dialogues with the other characters in game.
Tinkered with online for about an hour and that was fun. Won a couple of games, lost a couple of games. Levelled up, got some rewards and started some customisation of my players and ships.
I'm loving depth of the balancing the engine, shield and weapon during flight - so many nice touches that make this game a good play on flat screen (DV "Impressive") and a new benchmark for PSVR (DV Most impressive) moving forward.

Good value and good fun
While I ultimately enjoyed the Squadrons main story and managed to clear all the thropies, it is not a type of game that you can instantly play casually. It has somewhat complex and challenging controls that i had to master first. Squadrons is a space battle flight sim that takes place in my beloved Star Wars universe. I tried to play it in VR but aside from some resolution issues I left me with some motion sickness that I’ve rarely encounter in my VR games.Even so it is one of the best Star Wars space battle games ever produced, although there were quite a few in the distant past that I could appreciate like Jedi Star Fighter. Still I’m more into adventure, world-discovering type of games like Faller Order, that I would prefer over this one. Moreover while I’m occasionally playing Star Wars Battlefront II, my young son’s favourite game, I must say while less sophisticated that also has pretty good space battles.Having said that, the Squadrons’ missions are exciting to play and look particularly great. Locations like Yavin, the Imperial ship graveyard are super detailed, breathtakingly beautiful.I haven’t played the multiplayer variant, as I like to play my video games on my own.Given its relatively low price tag Squadrons is good value even though the game itself is a bit narrow and purely focussed on space battle simulation. The story mode is around six or seven hours long, and I spent a bit more to win additional medals.
