A first-person, action-packed dogfighting spin-off from the huge (and hugely complicated) Eve Online MMO, Valkyrie is essentially everyone's Battlestar Galactica fantasies made real. And by 'real', I do obviously mean 'virtual' - not that your brain bothers making that distinction as you, in your nimble little starship, are fired through the launch tunnel and into glorious outer space.
It really is glorious, too. Rather than boring blackness, Valkyrie's battles take place just above the atmosphere of beautiful planets, or right in the middle of huge fleets of ships.
While it's never less than spectacular, Valkyrie's graphics on PS VR are undeniably downgraded from Oculus Rift but, crucially, it contains all of the same content and plays identically - super fast, fluid and fun. In fact, this is the first game that Rift and PS VR players can play together via online multiplayer.
The game is still officially in development and the overall package can right now feel a little disjointed, with the single-player story still begging for expansion. The multiplayer should keep you occupied for a long time, though, and developer CCP seems very committed to future development, with a number of updates already having gone live since the game's Oculus launch earlier in the year.
Even at the very steep price of £50, I reckon Eve: Valkyrie is a pretty essential purchase for any PS VR owners.
Price: £50
Release date: 13 October
