Dexed Review

If you happen to be a PSVR owner you know that the library of games is fairly limited. At launch, it looked promising, but it's slowed down quite a bit. Lucky for PSVR owners, Ninja Theory, who is developing the much-anticipated Hellblade, supported PSVR with their latest release, Dexed. 

Dexed is a rail shooter where you use fire and ice to defeat enemies. The concept is simple enough - ice kills fire, fire kills ice, but as you may expect, it's not always that easy. The main goal of Dexed is to get the highest score possible. If you accidentally shoot ice at an ice enemy, your score will freeze and if you shoot fire at a fire enemy your score will burn and decrease dramatically. 

There are a total of five levels (including a boss fight) that can be played on easy, normal, and hard. You will have no trouble completing the entire Dexed experience in a little over 30 minutes. The first time I played a level I played it on easy, but for the next four levels, I played it on hard. This didn't make Dexed all that difficult because you can't die or lose, but there is that added pressure of trying to destroy every enemy to get the highest score possible. 

Although I finished the game fairly quickly, I did go back and play levels over and over to try to improve my scores. Dexed is a fun enough experience that you would want to play through it more than once and it would be a great game to compete against one of your friends on the leaderboards. The trophies in Dexed are also pretty tough, so if that's your sort of thing you'll find even more replayability. 

Overall Dexed is short but does offer a great amount of replayability.  Dexed is currently $9.99 on the PlayStation store which is the perfect price point, especially if you're looking a new PSVR game. 

3.5 out of 5 Stars
