Description: The corrupt wizard Gaufroi has kidnapped your master, Mage Alguin and only you have any hope of saving him. You may be an apprentice now, but to save your master, you will need to explore ten deadly dungeons, decipher mind-bending puzzles, avoid terrifying traps, and vanquish hordes of vicious monsters.
Until you are able to wield every elemental power in the palm of your hand, evil remains ascendant! It is your turn now to sling gouts of flame, javelins of ice, arcs of lightning, and swirling tempests! Don your wizard’s robe and begin your Mage’s Tale!
Review: The Mage’s Tale is two fingers up to all those who think classic RPG’s won’t work in VR and that makes this game something truly amazing in all aspects. With smooth locomotion with some comfort settings, this is a must-have game for all PSVR owners. While it is only a single-player game it will hold your attention for long enough to justify its own asking price. VR doesn’t get much better than this (other than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR). Having said that, I would keep an eye out for it in a sale if you are not sure you will enjoy it or not as it is a game you need to commit a lot of time to before you get true value for money.
