PlayStation LifeStylePaulmichael ContrerasFeb 20198/10The Mage's Tale isn't a game that shows hints of what the future may hold for virtual reality, but rather an example that the future is now. It stands on its own as a genuinely fun experience that shows this space has started to mature. Most faults with this adventure lie in the assumption that gamers will have ample room to stand up and stretch in a large play space. Controls are also bound to suffer, since Sony's Move controllers were not designed with VR in mind. Yet the core game is solid, and those hoping to feel like a wizard-in-training need only boot up The Mage's Tale and strap on a headset.

ThisGenGamingJustin OneilFeb 20198.5/10The Mage’s Tale was well worth the wait for me as a PlayStation VR owner. It’s a great first-person dungeon crawler that let me experiment with its spell system and feel rewarded and powerful for doing so.

DarkZeroJorge S FernandezFeb 20195/10All in all, The Mage's Tale is an ambitious title that incorporates a lot of neat features that would prove charming in a perfect VR environment, but instead demonstrates the infancy of the technology when so much of it fails to register properly. There are still fun moments to be had during the instances where everything works, but an uneven control scheme results in an uneven experience regardless of intentions.
