This game features a lot of looks back at familiar characters, settings, and scares, but rapid-fire style. The sheer speed of Switchback VR seems to fly in the face of the nature of The Dark Pictures Anthology. Apparently, the character you play in the game had a father that really liked the ride you're being taken on, though it is hard to tell why he would be into a ride that constantly tries to kill him as it retraces the steps of the series in such fast-paced fashion. The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR moves fast, and spends very little time doing any kind of explaining, contrary to the choice-driven and contemplative nature of most of the Dark Pictures Anthology. While this game contains some original characters and narrative, it’s hard to say any of it really stuck with me. The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is a gathering of bits and pieces of the previous Dark Pictures games, going back as far as Man of Medan, and setting them in an original story playing out on a rollercoaster ride. While Switchback VR benefits from the better technology of the PS VR2 and presents a somewhat riveting thrill ride, the breakneck-paced retelling of the Dark Pictures games so far and performance issues make it a less than stellar attraction among both the Dark Pictures and PS VR2 menagerie. This game attempts to gather the whole first season of The Dark Pictures games into another gunslinging carnival ride. Now, with a season of The Dark Pictures Anthology behind it, it’s trying again with The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR for the PS VR2. Previously, that led to Until Dawn: Rush of Blood on the first PSVR. Every once in a while, Supermassive Games gets a wild hair to take its previous work and roll it up into an on-rails shooter styled as a horror rollercoaster.
