The second part of the series of FPP adventure games, created with virtual reality sets in mind. Red Matter 2 introduces a number of novelties, the most important of which is the fight with enemies.
Red Matter 2 is the second part of the series launched in 2018 designed for virtual reality goggles. In contrast to the original which is a fairly classic adventure, this title has been enriched with action elements. It was developed by the authors of the original, the Vertical Robot studio.
Red Matter 2 takes us on a journey to a science fiction universe in which the Atlantic Union and the People's Republic of Volgravia participate in a large-scale space race. After the events of the first installment of the series, Agent Epsilon must travel through the solar system to investigate the source of a distress signal sent by his old friend. Along the way, the protagonist uncovers the dark secrets of Volgravia and learns more about the titular red matter.
In Red Matter 2 we observe the action from the first person perspective (FPP). We travel through various locations, among which the interiors of research facilities scattered around the Solar System are the most important. Exploring them, we follow the development of the story and solve clever puzzles, which allows us to push the plot forward. Moving around the levels is made easier (and more attractive in the platform sections) by the presence of a jet pack, which allows us to get to high places. Among the puzzles waiting to be solved there is terminal hacking, for which we use a special tool. Apart from that, there are weapons at our disposal, which are useful both for fighting with opponents and for solving some environmental puzzles.
Red Matter 2 features high quality graphics, especially for the standards of VR games. The locations are varied and full of details, and the complement to all this is the realistic physics of objects.

Game Ratings for Red Matter 2 Video Game.
COGconnected: 95 / 100 by Lou Sytsma
This is a glorious VR game. It will take you about 5 to 6 hours to finish, but you can easily lose time just taking in everything you see. The only niggle with the game is a lack of replayability. There is nothing extra to entice one to play again. However, the journey and spectacle of a single run is totally worth it. If you are looking for a premium VR experience that fills you with a sense of awe and wonder, Red Matter 2 is the ticket. Developer, Vertical Robot is one to keep an eye on.
WayTooManyGames: 8.5 / 10 by Kyle Nicol
If you have a VR headset and are itching for something to play, Red Matter 2 is a must-play. It’s a clever little puzzle adventure game that continued to surprise me throughout, thanks to its intelligent puzzle design that keeps things interesting and varied. Not to mention the occasionally gorgeous visuals that must be pushing the Quest 2 to its limits.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Graham Banas
Ultimately, the issues that arise aren’t enough to quash the immense level of fun or the mastery of design on display. Red Matter 2 is a PSVR2 must-play.
