Dead and Buried Dying: Reborn has had a somewhat confusing launch on the Playstation Store. The Playstation 4 version, which is the complete version of the game, can be purchased for $19.99 alongside the not-so-complete Playstation Vita version for $14.99. Both versions are identical when it comes to story but the Vita version is missing several puzzles and a few props that can be collected throughout the PS4’s playthrough.
These props and extra puzzles have little to do with the gameplay but they do add a smidge more to the overall story and lore of Dying: Reborn. Now the PSVR version on the other hand can be purchased for $9.99 and is missing half of the rooms that the PS4 and Vita games have, and also is without a conclusion to the story. When I reviewed the PSVR version () I felt like I had been kicked in the gut when the game just decided to end when it was just beginning.
This anniversary is celebrated with the release of the Need for Speed™ Ultimate Bundle. Featuring all three titles release by Ghost Games. Review title of B420S17 Worth the thirty even if rivals doesnt work?? NFS Rivals does not work but the $8 need for speed is the best ever made. Payback is worth the $15 too. I would never pay $100 but.
I wasted three hours on what ultimately was a demo for the full version. Needless to say I was severely disappointed. So now that all three versions are available on the Playstation Store it’s only fitting that they’d be bundled together for an Ultimate edition. And here we are just a few weeks after Dying: Reborn’s initial launch with just that. The Ultimate Bundle includes the PS4, Vita, and PSVR versions of Dying: Reborn all in a convenient package for $24.99.
I became excited when I saw this because even though the PSVR version of Dying: Reborn was an overall disappointment, I still wanted to find out what the hell happens at the end of the game. Maybe the sour taste of not having an ending could be washed away with a conclusion!
Well, after playing it from beginning (again) to end, I can say I’m even more disappointed. What are you lookin at, doll-face? For those who haven’t read my PSVR review of Dying: Reborn the story can be summed up rather quickly. You play the character Mathew who finds himself in the once bustling tourist area of Harbour Town. Mathew isn’t visiting Harbour Town on vacation though. Actually, Harbour town hasn’t seen much in the way of vacationers in quite some time and is basically a ghost town. Mathew is here because he received a letter from his Sister Shirley – begging him to come to Last Harbour where she “doesn’t know how much longer she can survive”.
On his quest to save his sister, Mathew manages to get lost, and while glancing down at his map he blacks out and awakens in an abandoned hotel. With all the doors locked and windows barred up, Mathew must find a way out of this dilapidated hotel and locate his sister. Dying: Reborn plays out like an escape room, but in first-person video game form. The legend of heroes: zero no kiseki. If you don’t know what an escape room is let me explain. In an escape room a team of people get locked in a room.
