Detached is by no means a bad game. It’s an immersive trek into the great unknown that looks great and packs plenty of immersion while it lasts. The biggest issue is the shallow gameplay and the distinct feeling of deja vu that permeates the entire experience. There are numerous zero-gravity VR titles available today, and most of them pack quite a bit more of gameplay than what you’ll find here – especially when considering the game’s $24.99 price tag. If you’re absolutely starving for another space-based game for your PSVR, Detached might be worth a look. Anyone else might want to wait for a price drop before taking the plunge.

Critic reviews
- Detached does have a multiplayer mode, but it’s essentially just capture the flag with one other person. If you’re looking for a game that simulates being in space, then Detached is for you. Besides some unfortunately frustrating and simple mission structures, it’s a great space exploration game. Come test your VR stomach as you tumble through space and try and figure out which way is up.
- 7.0If a community for the title manifests, a really interesting and unique multiplayer mode is part of the equation as well. Some truly stunning setpieces and the opportunity to float through space to a haunting cosmic score make for a grand ol’ time. The game’s steep price to content ratio might scare off some, but that’s not exactly a new thing in the VR realm, and ultimately the price of entry still feels worth it.
- 5.8It is ironic that a game with a truly unique game playing mechanic was deposited into such a generic game, and called Detached. That’s what the end result feels like. It seems like so much focus was put on the spacewalking aspects that the game itself was given short shrift. All these negatives add up to a real downer experience in which that should have left us soaring.
- 8.0Long story short, if you ever wanted to play through movies like Gravity or Interstellar, this is your chance. If you don't mind potential motion sickness and like the challenge of a new style of gameplay, then absolutely give Detached a shot.
- 5.0Detached is a tricky experience to make an individual conclusion on and the verdict given might not reflect what a lot of people may feel when they experience it themselves.
