PlayStation LifeStyleChandler WoodApr 20179/10StarBlood Arena is VR’s Overwatch. Oozing with personality, it explodes with a style and grace that one might not expect to come from the scrappiest corners of the galaxy. The tight, frenetic combat takes some standard shooter ideas and literally turns them on their head, putting you in the pilot’s seat in a way only possible with virtual reality. If you haven’t taken the plunge, StarBlood Arena is a damn good reason to get PSVR. If you already own one, I’ll see you in the arena.

TheSixthAxisJim HargreavesApr 20177/10As we saw with RIGS and how Sony abruptly axed its life support, the same could very well happen to StarBlood Arena and that's a bloody shame. I want this game to do well, I really do, but as a multiplayer VR title with a non-existent server population and an exorbitant price tag, it's fighting an impossible fight.

Metro GameCentralApr 20177/10It’s a pity the pricing isn’t as accessible as the action, but this is a fun and unusual online shooter that suits PlayStation VR surprisingly well.

CryMor GamingJan 2018Overwatch, Team Fortress, these are the games that come to mind when you're playing Starblood. Arena shooters in VR can be pretty awesome, it turns out.

Critical HitAlessandro BarbosaMay 20175/10Starblood Arena has the mechanics to be a compelling online VR shooter. But the lack of any compelling content and the difficulty of finding other people to play with proves to be one too many obstacles you shouldn't need to be facing for a game this expensive.
