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.
It makes me extremely nauseated within a minute every time I jam it – to the point that I'm yet to finish a race.
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.
[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.
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.
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.
Here's hoping the better two games get standalone releases for cheap, because they're good
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.
VR versions of existing games don't fare too well in this round-up, but Hustle Kings VR seems a'ight.
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.
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.
Unity simply isn't ready for release. The majority of its new systems aren't refined enough, and its existing ones are showing their age. It's still intermittently enjoyable, but a serious step down from last year's Black Flag.
Iron From Ice's weak characters and water-treading story don't get the series off to a great start, but there is hope things will improve.
The Hitman Intro Pack is satisfying to play, there just isn't enough of it. This ought to be rectified by the second episode next month, and by then its servers should be stable as well.
Morrowind is a capable add-on to an MMO that's a leader in story and questing, and is only improving with age.
A striking title with terrific animation, it's doubly beautiful in VR, tight camera angles allowing you to get close to its mesmerizing protagonist whose movement was achieved via motion capture of dancer Maria Udod.
UFC 2 is hard to get into and not as rewarding to play as it should be, but its smart system design, presentation, and generous helping of content should keep UFC fans occupied – provided they make it through a gruelling training camp first.
Guitar Hero Live takes some chances and is a better game for it. The campaign and local multiplayer offerings are pretty weak, but GHTV's rotating channels are addictive. It's a shame the game's extra songs aren't available as DLC.
Ghosts will disappoint those only in it for the singleplayer, although – Extinction aside – the multiplayer feels like just more of the same. Those who play online will still get their money's worth, but a proper evolution of the series' mechanics is now desperately needed.
Driveclub is incredibly well put together but slightly bland, and is hampered by a lack of distinct personality.
