These doorways are signposted with green lights which you need to activate to open, and are pretty hard to miss - especially when knowing that you’re looking out for something new. The update scatters three glowing portals across the story, which Quill has to activate to enter the ‘Twilight Garden’, a hubworld for a series of trials designed to prove your worth to the elder spirits (begrudgingly guarded by a crotchety toad). The Twilight Garden DLC takes a different approach, and may disappoint those who have already completed the tale. When we think of DLC these days, the general idea will be of independent bolt-ons, new areas or stories to enjoy alongside the main game, such as those available for Spider-Man or Horizon: Zero Dawn, as two recent examples. Once you've established a high tolerance for VR, then perhaps consider circling back to this one.New characters are introduced to guide you on The Twilight Garden's three levels If you’re a VR veteran then you may enjoy the peaceful serenity of floating downstream, but if the PSVR 2 is your first VR experience, then this is definitely not the place to start. It’s undoubtedly one of the best-looking PSVR 2 games right now, but its accurate simulation of being in a kayak is likely to be too much for inexperienced stomachs. Personally, before I’d even completed the basic tutorial I felt nauseous, and my foolish decision to try and push on through it only made the situation worse.

That’s because it’s quickly become the litmus test for how susceptible to VR motion sickness you are with multiple players online complaining that even a brief play session made them feel all at sea.

Kayak VR: Mirage isn’t necessarily a bad game - although I would argue it’s a little light on content considering its $20 price tag - but it’s definitely not a title I’d recommend you play first on PSVR 2.
