A game that doesn't feel the need to reinvent the wheel, developer Funktronic Labs instead decided to focus on making the best rogue-lite that PSVR has yet seen rather than get crazy with new systems. With unique, varied classes and brilliant gunplay, the title does a great job of ensuring that we want to keep returning to its chilling, bleakly beautiful environments again and again.

The Light Brigade is worth celebrating for bringing a convincing and consistently engaging roguelike experience to virtual reality. With its gripping physics-based combat, sticky progression systems and comfy controls, it’s easy to lose hours to this delightful surprise of a game.

A solidly constructed VR roguelite that combines guns and magic for some memorable runs, even if its graphics and setting won’t be winning any awards.

The Light Brigade è indubbiamente uno dei migliori esponenti del genere roguelite su PS5, un gioco impegnativo che restituisce una grandissima soddisfazione grazie a un arsenale credibile e soddisfacente. Il senso di progressione e l’atmosfera fanno il resto, confezionando un titolo imprescindibile per i possessori del caschetto SONY. E anche per tutti gli altri VR-addicted, per la verità, trovate TLB pure su Quest e SteamVR.
