In a moment of hesitation, one of the characters ended up stabbing me to death. Without trying to give too much away, there's another scene towards the end of the game that forces you to choose who lives and dies between two characters. So much so that I have no desire to experience it again. It felt dangerously real and showcases the immersive power of VR.

While the shooting feels fun and satisfying, one highlight for me was when a mobster pointed the barrel of his gun down at my face. Picking up guns, shooting, and reloading all feel very natural using them. While you can use a DualShock controller to play the game, as you'll physically have to pick up and shoot guns, it's really an experience designed with the Move controllers in mind. The game appropriately has you sitting down in a variety of scenarios, whether that’s because you're getting tortured by a mobster in a chair or shooting at bandits in a getaway van. Despite being a relatively physical demo that requires you to move, the London Heist is a seated experience.

You play as a mobster and go on an adventure to steal a diamond. That's where The London Heist comes into play. The other downside is that it isn't interactive, which does hurt the immersion to a small degree. It will take roughly 15 minutes to breeze through everything Ocean Descent has to offer. But perhaps its biggest shortcoming is that it's, well, short. Ocean Descent is a great showcase for your non-gaming relatives at family gatherings. Despite being a completely passive experience, it's thrilling edge-of-your-seat entertainment and serves as a fantastic introduction to VR. Seeing its sharp teeth rip away at your cage is horrifying, but in the best way possible. It doesn't take long before it musters enough courage to try and eat you.

At first, it merely swims around you, trying to get a sense of what you are. As you approach the vessel, a massive great white shark appears off in the distance. Here, you're sent down to explore a wrecked submarine. There are three short segments within Ocean Descent, but the one that really stands out is Shark Encounter.
