Lumines Arise is an incredible game played on any size screen, whether on a 70-inch OLED TV or a handheld. But it shines like a diamond in VR, and I feel privileged that I have the equipment to experience it at its best. It’s one of my games of the year, a title I’ll buy on multiple platforms, and will be a permanent install on any device I own that can run it.
SYNDUALITY’s one saving grace is that the third-person exploration isn’t terrible. Sure your mech lumbers around slowly and overheats at the drop of a hat if you boost, but the moment-to-moment action is broadly compelling, especially the tension when you’re figuring out if another player is going to stab you in the back or not.
In summary, do not buy this game

If you have even the slightest interest in games as an art form, you must play this.
Arizona Sunshine 2 neither excels nor does anything particularly poorly. If you want a competently made VR shooter in which you blast away at the undead with various firearms it’ll deliver the goods (though Resident Evil 4 VR still has it beat).
