Pimax Crystal Light review: "Not the right choice for pickup-and-play VR gaming"

Virtual reality is quickly evolving as developers continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible both with VR games and more importantly, the hardware we play them on. When it comes to VR headsets, most gamers’ minds will instantly turn to the Meta Quest 3, and for good reason too, it’s a great all-round option that ranks highly on our list of the best VR headsets, but Meta isn’t the only player in the game.

Pimax may not be as widely known as the likes of PlayStation or HTC Vive, but it has a growing history of creating VR hardware dating back almost a decade. This isn’t my first experience with Pimax, though my time with the first-generation Pimax Crystal is something I’d rather forget. A mixture of bugs and connectivity problems made that headset a non-starter and I spent a few frustrating days wrestling with it before eventually giving up.
