Blood & Truth
This game will be like one of the best initial offerings for PSVR, that was a mini-game called “The Heist,” which threw you into a series of Guy Ritchie-style action sequences.

The game is described as a “surreal story of friendship,” and it looks to follow the story of two characters as they make their way through a strange world filled with impossibly huge objects.
