LEGO Horizon Adventures is a charming, funny, and largely laid-back game with beautiful graphics that’s perfect for playing with kids. Fans of Horizon Zero Dawn will enjoy its humorous references, but due to its simple gameplay loop and high level of repetition, it’s unlikely to truly captivate many players.

Compared to other virtual reality rail shooters, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR stands out for its solid production values and, to some extent, serves to showcase the strengths of the PS VR2 platform. However, in terms of gameplay, it falls somewhere in the middle. The game can therefore be recommended primarily to fans of the genre whose appetite for digital shooting outweighs their disappointment with its minor shortcomings.

The remastered Quake II is the best possible version of this game, which stands as one of the cornerstones of the modern first-person shooter genre. It’s a must-play for both newcomers—who weren’t even born when the original game was released—and gaming veterans alike. Thanks to thoughtful improvements to the audiovisual presentation and gameplay, as well as added content, they’re in for a slightly different experience.

Journey to Foundation is a technically unpolished and conventionally designed game, but it makes up for its shortcomings with its narrative qualities and effective use of Isaac Asimov’s literary saga. Although it doesn’t feature any new mechanics, its core concept sets it apart in a refreshing way from most of its competitors in the VR gaming space. Players who want to avoid disappointment should simply keep in mind that this is primarily an adventure game, not an action shooter or a complex RPG.

Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered is a masterful remaster of a very good game that fell by the wayside not because of any shortcomings, but rather because it was released at the very end of the Nintendo 64’s life cycle and the entire fifth generation of consoles. Sure, while the first two Turok games are unmistakable, the third installment bears similarities to games like Quake II, Unreal, SiN, Half-Life, or Perfect Dark. But that also means it’s more accessible to a wider range of players. In its superbly remastered form, it can hold its own against modern “boomer shooters,” and fans of the FPS genre should definitely not overlook it.

RoboCop: Rogue City is an excellent game that blends design ingenuity, fan enthusiasm, and attention to detail while exploring the fictional world of RoboCop. One could justifiably criticize the storyline for playing it safe and tending to repeat or vary what players already know from the first two movies, but that doesn’t detract from the sheer amount and intensity of fun to be had while playing. With this title, Teyon Studio has established itself among the developers from whom even the most discerning player can expect high-quality results.

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill – Slaps and Beans 2 is a more expansive and varied game than the first installment, but that doesn’t necessarily make it better. The developers chose to focus on adding content rather than fine-tuning the mechanics that were clunky in the first game. Yet it was precisely the first game’s simplicity and straightforwardness that made it more appealing. Fans of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, however, will likely be so saturated with the familiar humor and web of references that they probably won’t complain at all—or at least not too loudly.

Sprawl is an excellent first-person shooter that combines old-school and modern gameplay. It succeeds in achieving what matters most within the genre—offering players adrenaline-fueled battles that play well and make them feel like they’ve transformed into powerful and capable killers. The immersive atmosphere is created by impressive audiovisual design that will make cyberpunk fans feel right at home.

If you could only play one modern shoot 'em up, I would recommend Drainus. It’s accessible to all types of gamers, plays great, looks stunning, and features a combination of elements that were beloved in older shooters. It also blends Japanese and Western approaches to the genre. And despite all that, it never loses its originality.

En Garde! is a highly engaging and fresh action game, defined by its well-executed combat system and its ability to capture the charm of adventurous sword-fighting tales—a genre from which video games have, surprisingly, drawn inspiration all too rarely. It is, however, still a small indie title, which comes with certain limitations, including a very short playtime. But if a game’s biggest weakness is that it ends too soon, that’s actually a great testament to its quality.

Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara draws its charm from its charming, almost minimalist graphics, and it further endears itself by popularizing a genre that has, unfortunately, been overlooked in recent years. However, in terms of level design, controls, and movement options, it is much closer to the average than the games that served as its inspiration.

Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission VR is one of those games that’s hard to praise, yet it doesn’t deserve ridicule or harsh criticism either. While it pales in comparison to the better titles in its genre, it still manages to provide decent entertainment. It can therefore be recommended mainly to players who enjoy on-rails VR shooters and appreciate even the more average ones. Or to beginners who will appreciate the low difficulty level.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is ultimately a game that brings this iconic—though long-neglected—series back among the genre’s elite. Some players may take a while to get used to the cute art style, others will be disappointed by the lack of online multiplayer, and still others will point out minor flaws, such as weaker platforming sections. However, even skeptics will be easily won over by the game’s well-designed combat system and solid replay value.

After all the ups and downs and controversies, it’s a relief to say that Six Days in Fallujah ultimately looks like a promising game that players—especially those tired of over-the-top, arcade-style shooters—should keep an eye on. With a good team, the streets of virtual Fallujah offer a completely different experience than classic multiplayer arenas. In Early Access mode, which offers only limited content, the game is best suited for military enthusiasts who have enough like-minded friends on their Steam friend list.

Trepang2 is a game that can be wholeheartedly recommended to anyone who enjoys first-person shooters. Gun enthusiasts, fans of the original F.E.A.R., or action movie buffs with a poster of Inspector Tequila hanging above their bed will be thrilled. Everyone else will have the chance to enjoy a shooter that, while not original at all, bears a striking resemblance to just one famous title from the distant year of 2005. In any case, I’ll be looking forward to the next game from Trepang Studios with optimism in my heart.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is by far the best first-person shooter set in the Warhammer universe, but more importantly, it’s also an excellent game in its own right. The boomer shooter subgenre has been bustling in recent years, and many titles boast high quality, yet Boltgun still shines a mile away from the competition, just like a space Ultramarine.

Under normal circumstances, I’d say that Into the Radius is a game for those who don’t like to be led by the hand and have the patience for a slow pace and the need for careful resource management. However, given that virtual reality is currently dominated by indie games rather than big-budget titles, I think that all VR headset owners should at least give this exceptional and highly immersive game a try. It’s certainly not a universally appealing blockbuster like Half-Life: Alyx or Horizon Call of the Mountain, but I wouldn’t hesitate to say that Into the Radius is among the best games you can play in virtual reality.

So is The Callisto Protocol ultimately the new Dead Space? In the sense that it brings many of Dead Space’s signature elements into the cutting-edge technical world of today’s video games, certainly yes. However, anyone expecting this new title to deliver groundbreaking design innovations, a fresh gaming experience, and the ability to evoke genuine fear will inevitably be disappointed.

Despite these obstacles, however, Warhammer is actually a pleasantly light game that rewards players with a sense of relaxation rather than the thrill of overcoming a difficult challenge. On medium difficulty, not even the bosses pose a significant obstacle to successfully completing the game, as their attack patterns are easy to figure out and adapt to. After completing the main story, which supports both local and online co-op, players can still have fun battling friends in multiplayer arenas.

So, is Mighty Goose worth recommending? For casual gamers who can’t breeze through every Metal Slug game with their eyes closed and a controller in their left foot, definitely yes. They’re in for a good time thanks to the game’s charming humor, adrenaline-fueled action, and few instances of rage quitting during difficult sections. However, seasoned veterans of the genre won’t find the proper challenge or sufficiently polished gameplay here.
