We often mention the uncanny valley when it comes to depictions of humans in virtual media, and Hikari Miyamoto is far from it. It gets to be a tad boring but the interactions with Miyamoto is the saving grace for this title. The process of planning, teaching, talking, and interacting with Miyamoto is repeated for one week, and that’s about it. This is achieved with a rudimentary card system, that grants you topics to talk to her about, which can also lead to special events that are admittedly fan service and uncomfortable to play if someone else is watching you. Your goal is to help Miyamoto get better at her academics through lesson planning, all the while making conversations and getting to know your tutee. You play as the tutor to the titular Hikari Miyamoto, who is having difficulties with her studies, like every student out there. The caveat, of course, is that gameplay is very simple. There are moments of kookiness that stems from Summer Lesson’s Japanese roots, but as a VR experience, it can actually contend as one of the best experiences available.
Summer Lesson: Miyamoto Hikari, which can best be described as a niche and quirky experience, pleasantly joins the good section of VR games. And with gamers lusting for something incredible, the stage is set for a little enticement, in the form of a schoolgirl fantasy. Despite the initial excitement, the PlayStation VR has experienced a disappointing lack of support in recent months, as every other hit PlayStation title hasn’t tapped the virtual reality experience.
