EDIT: The reason for the updated review was twofold. First I learned this morning that Propagation doesn't have a Platinum trophies (the trophy list still isn't live). And second, my original review made it sound like the developers didn't include ANY haptics in the game, which simply isn't true. There are haptics for most interactions, but games like Village and Tales set the bar pretty high for haptics and Propagation doesn't really deliver here. That said, these are extremely minor complaints and Paradise Hotel is still a must buy for all VR horror fans. Thanks! :D

The haptics under the hand dryer are amazing ! I must of turned it on 5 times . Need more of this ! We Should be able to flush toilets , pump out soap from the dispenser etc . But the hand dryer absolutely nailed it for me .

Started it tonight and this what vr is all about. Almost perfectly done. Great game.

I CAN'T WAIT TO (watch someone braver than me) PLAY THIS GAME!

This game is so well done. The level of quality here far exceeds most VR games. I will most definitely be looking for more from this studio. The fact that they absolutely NAILED the VR interactions deserves a ton of praise. Doors, drawers, grabbing items, etc… are all on point and work wonderfully.

I buy this game, after all these recent disappointing Psvr2-game releases I’m so glad for this one. Also the perfect month for horror games 👍🏾

Bryan we need more “let’s plays” from you this gen. We haven’t seen many and this seems like a perfect one. Need those spooky let’s plays for the Halloween season

Been waiting all year for this. I saw October release so thats perfect and at $20. Im in.

I now feel a sense of relief for you, Bryan. Half way through spooky month and you officially have one banger of a PSVR2 horror title to enjoy. Let's see some more! Great review, as always!

Great review Bryan! Downloading now, can’t wait to get into it later 🧟‍♂️

The lack of a platinum is a MAJOR bummer 😔 Sony needs to revise their VR platinum requirements

Just picked up this game..thanks for the review Bryan. I was the guy (Rob Axl)in the live chat the day before.. that was telling everyone to get the game and was wishing it would get released early by accident…😆…Great review for a great game…this is one of the only games that made me jump several times and I was literally shaking at some points in the game

i like that we have red matter 2 as a comparison in terms of fidelity. Sounds promising for Propagation Pradise Hotel. Great Review thanks!

I don't care about game time, the most important thing is game quality. If a low-quality game has 100 hours of play time, I'm not interested in it even if it's free... I don't understand why someone would target game time.

I am sad but I completely understand that games are being made PSVR2 only and that PSVR is out to pasture. It means missing out on experiences like this and the upcoming Phasmophobia - something I've wanted to play in VR since it first came out on PC. IF I actually get my tax refund in the Spring, I think I'll be able to get hold of the PSVR2.

thanks for the review. Easy day 1 purchase not just for the game but the devs ability to optimise so well in time for launch. Much appreciated.

Never heard of this. But now will probably buy it. Vr makes horror so much better

So close to 100k subs! Congrats!!!

I was on the fence about this but your review sold me!

Thanks! Picking this up now... I always trust you're scary game reviews haha 👍🍺

I would love to know how they’ve managed to eliminate mura on this, I really thought I was going to struggle given how dark it is in places, I’m really intrigued as to how they’ve achieved it where firewall has failed for me

This looks awesome! A little TOO awesome for me! I wouldn't be able to get through one hallway without cowering into a corner and staying put. =)

Hey, I've been having a bit of a resurgence with my psvr2 after lowering the brightness and reducing headaches. I'm so glad you are still pumping out reviews, I bought a few b@sed on your reviews and played this one last night. I barely jump at anything but within an hour I had crapped my pants at least 3 times

Hopefully they can patch more haptics in later

Aw! THAT's why Tornado was all over your keyboard last night ( UK time ) ." But, Daddy, there ARE haptics! ". :D

SPOOKY SEASON 2023 LETS GO!

Ok. I played for almost 90 minutes and had to take a break. Man, its pretty damn immersive. Im coming off the Walking Dead Remakes on PSVR2 and this looks and feels way better. Physics and gun handling are top notch and the visuals are incredible, probably the best of seen on the VR2 so far (keep note i havent played Red Matter but its on my list) but if Red Matter looks better than this im really impressed. The sounds and atmosphere really gets you in. Especially the lighting and shadows, the shadows coming off your flashlight are the best ive seen in VR. Just adds depth to everything. Zombies are actually really well designed and creepy and shooting them feels extremely satisfying. Justs the designs and scale of them kinda just makes me actually freaked out when one comes out of nowhere or youre just being chased by one in general it gets pretty intense. Just the way they move and react feels dead on whereas Walking Dead feels more, you know, cartoony. Theyre not really scary because the animation isnt really realistic but its still immersive and fun (although the school did freak me out a bit) Paradise Hotel does feel like Resident Evil though. It certainly feels inspired by it in the best way possible. If they can turn this into a bigger and more cohesive game theyd have something truely amazing on their hands. Buy this and maybe we'll get something even more amazing in the future by these guys. This is a winner at a good price point.

I recently played RE8 village. Is it worth playing this after or is it not as good

Sold! This looks amazing and that's a bargain. Next up on Friday is 7th Guest VR so what a great week for VR horror

Great news! I had this one in my shopping cart, but wasn’t gonna buy until I heard from you about it. 😁

Great review. The comparisons to Resident Evil make this an insta-buy.

I went into this without watching any reviews or anything so I can experience it all for the first time myself. It was a fun spooky game, but really felt like it was a full game cut in half. I played on hard and cleared the game in 3 hrs, even with exploring and backtracking. I had a great time, but was shocked when the game cut to black and rolled credits.

Thank you, Bryan. Day one buy. I’m so happy to support a dev that releases a complete and polished game of quality.

Bryan, in toally dark spaces the mura is still pretty obvious. It looks fine when it's a mixture of light and shadow for the most part, but all black areas you can see it clearly.

I love horror, but I absolutely struggle with horror in VR. I don't doubt this game is great, but I still just wish we could play PSVR1 games or even a single flight sim just to wash off the terror sometimes.

Just a heads up, this video (and some others) doesn't shop up on protected networks.. I was on the WiFi at work (obviously working so hard!) And it's not listed on the channel at all. This happens sometimes, no idea why. A setting? Anyway God damn I love this game. Feels so immersive.

I find this game, hard to play through 😂🙈, so intense but dam good!!

Bought it, thx 4 the Review

Can't wait!

So I’ve been playing this game for like 20 mins a day over the course of 2 weeks. First off, it’s a must buy, plain and simple. If I didn’t know any better this is REVillage in terms of graphics - it literally looks almost identical to Village VR. I also love the map and the inventory, the fact you can see yourself in real time on the map is amazing. I love the green and red door indicators. The game really is a top tier VR game of all time imo. The only thing I’d improve on is maybe more stuff to find? But at the same time I like how simple it is - just batteries and ammo. And $20??? Buy it!

Damn, this was not on my radar at all! But i'm pretty excited now!

I’m considering getting paradise hotel for the quest 3. I’ve tried to research to see if the will be a update version on graphics for the quest 3? Would you be able to tell me if the will be a updated version for the quest 3 ? If so what date will the be updated? Thanks.

I tend to stay away from horror titles like this in VR., but did manage to complete Resident Evil Village in VR. Propagation Paradise Hotel is a much shorter VR horror title by comparison but is way more intense. It actually gave me nightmares! I'm also playing "The Calisto Protocol" on the PS5 which is a tense, enclosed horror title but has not nearly the effect on me as Paradise Hotel.

Yay October. This is only the beginning folks.

Why can’t I find this game under the VR2 store?

There is currently 30% off this game in the sales!

Oh god. This is on my wishlist but I think I'm too scared to play it. Lol

Man still surprised you haven’t hit 100000

I’m gonna get it and start on hard mode, really good using guns thanks to Pavlov but I’m also not crazy enough to max difficulty a horror game right out the gate. I need a few seconds to breath.

Are the good jumpscares like in paranormal activity (psvr1)?

hey Bryan, will you be streaming this game?

Would you recommend this or Cosmodread for $9?

Thanks for the review! Great game… great price. Love the channel, I was looking for a good horror game to play or start today. I don’t play VR often but this review convinced me to buy it. Beat it in 2 play throughs today around 4hrs total. I thought it was great! Hope they make a part 2 ****Spoiler:**** Had some issues with the last boss, but overall it was great. A little glitchy here and there. But once you understand what todo it worked out.

Wait..Tornado is your editor?

I love horror genre I played almost every one some where scary some was intense! But this game got my jaw dropped it is so intense but in the scary way it managed to spook me like never before any game in vr 10/10 in my view🍻

Does this game have replay value?

Just played an hour or so on hard. It’s really tense. I disagree that you say it’s looks like it was made by a vertical robot . Performance is good but at times it slows down and there is ghosting now and again. It’s looks good but it isn’t mind blowing.

Have this game on quest 2. Ira one of the BEST. Also, it's too scary for me.

@WithoutParole Can you please review Waltz of the Wizard?

Very price friendly!

The only thing I don’t like about the game is the absence of trigger effect. If it’s there at all, it’s insanely minimal

I hate horror games! Definitely getting this! 😅

Does the game have any replay ability????

nice

How long is it ? 5-8 hours and I am in .

Oof, it's still amazing!😆 Not a trophy hunter anyway so i don't care

It’s weird that plat trophies get excluded. Not exactly a deal breaker but why bother?

My wife is about to have a heart attack playing this game. Lol.

Very good game but a bit of trial and error action at places. And 3-4 hours long. I realize that many vr development teams are small though and cant make an 10-15 hour game as easily. Hope to see a part 2.

I understand why they do this but I can't stand the way flashlights work in most games.

?

Context ?

Great to see developers getting their heads around the PSVR2 hardware and coding the Mura out of the game, I noticed in other games that mura is not a problem if the devs code the game to minimise it to unnoticeable levels.

4hrs?! *rolleyes*

Why are there so many horoor games on VR, the only ones I want to play are RE8/4, the others are too dark.

I'm a sucker for zombie games and this one fell flat for me. The graphics of the hotel are nice at first but the zombie models look terrible. Everything is too simple and the game is too short with an ending that falls off a cliff. There are 2 things to loot in this game batteries and bullets.

I can't find a physical copy I don't buy digital games so I won't be getting this

It is a fun game bui It needs an update on the gun handling and and sony needs an update period

No Plat = No Buy I’m a trophy whore at heart 😂

No plat = wait for minimum 75% price drop 😑

I genuinely cannot see Mura and think it's a myth people have Placeboed themselves into seeing.

No platinum = no purchase

Oh no a edited review?! Damn. Unsubbed.
