Hitman: Sapienza is a great episode marred by server issues. Not everyone is having them, but if you are, you can't progress or access community or live content.

6 / 10.0 - Tumble VR
Oct 14, 2016

It's value for money at least, and as such, scrapes into the "good" category – if only by the width of a particularly small, flat virtual block. It's on the demo disc, so perhaps try before you buy.

VR versions of existing games don't fare too well in this round-up, but Hustle Kings VR seems a'ight.

5.5 / 10.0 - The Order: 1886
Feb 20, 2015

It's amazing the mileage The Order gets from its incredible presentation and world, but that goodwill is squandered by a title that's middling to poor in most other areas.

Here's hoping the better two games get standalone releases for cheap, because they're good

5 / 10.0 - Sea of Thieves
Apr 5, 2018

Sea of Thieves isn't a complete game. Much of what's present is enchanting, but repetition will claim most before the kraken does. Check it out on Xbox Games Pass for a month, or hold out and hope that it is filled out in time.

4.5 / 10.0 - Ryse: Son of Rome
Nov 22, 2013

Ryse definitely looks the part, but the gameplay simply isn't up to scratch. It feels unfinished, or like a hardcore title whose mechanics have been dramatically simplified for the Xbox One TV crowd. Thumb down.

[Review In Progress] If you are the type who loves to read in-game newspapers and diaries, you'll be in heaven (I am). It might be a little overwhelming for series newcomers, but to these people I say: have patience, from what I've seen so far, it'll more than likely be worth it.

Job Simulator is as garbage as its name would suggest. Ostensibly yet another inane joke "simulator" game, it tasks you with performing dreary tasks like cooking soup or stamping résumés while wry robots (again) crack wise. The difference here is the robots are actually pretty funny.

Unscored - Driveclub VR
Oct 14, 2016

It makes me extremely nauseated within a minute every time I jam it – to the point that I'm yet to finish a race.

I simply find its visuals too compromised for it to be playable. Looking at this game in VR is like looking at a deteriorated painting while wearing someone else's prescription glasses... after they've been dipped in marmalade.
