4.3 / 5.0 - Garden Simulator
Oct 2, 2022

Ultimately, it's a great chill out game, it's very low stress and you could even get some idea for how to design a garden (to some extent) with the range of items available to you. Just remember… don't water the cat… pat it, unless you want to get notes from your neighbours about animal abuse. Definitely grab it for some easy going virtual green thumb enjoyment!

3 / 5.0 - Cities: VR
Jun 16, 2022

Overall I didn't have the same amount of fun I remember having with Sim City… whether that's just my tastes have changed over time or it's the way Cities: VR wants me to play a city building game, I'm not sure… but I do suspect that it's just the way Cities: VR has presented things. Some people will enjoy it… others might find the experience a bit hollow, I fall in the latter of those.

The biggest problem I have with the game is that if this was released about a decade ago I would probably have been fine with it and may even have been happy to play through it, even with the issues… but this is a remake that is supposedly bringing it up to modern standards. This does not stand as a game using modern standards of any sort… not graphics, not gameplay not general presentation. Maybe I built up my expectations too much… but I was really thoroughly disappointed with Deadly Dozen Reloaded.

I really enjoyed Out There: Oceans Of Time and would recommend it, it's not overly challenging (it's pretty easy to maintain the ship once you get the hang of it) and planetary threats are fairly easily managed… so if you prefer a tougher challenge it might not be your thing, but if you enjoy a good cosmic adventure this could be worth a look.

Should you buy it? Well if you like the idea of challenging your ethics with hypothetical scenarios then absolutely. If you are or were a philosophy student you may well get a sense of nostalgia and for me that is arguably enough of a reason to grab it. It's a decent price for what it is, if you aren't sure, maybe wait for a sale… but really for a chance to play something a bit more intellectual for a change I think it's a great buy!

4.6 / 5.0 - Green Hell VR
Apr 23, 2022

Ultimately Green Hell VR is a bit like a mature Minecraft that is set in a more realistic and dangerous jungle setting. It somehow feels a lot more important to make sure you are getting your food and rest in Green Hell VR though and the consequences of not building shelter and some survival tools certainly seems more dire when you are experiencing it in VR.

4.5 / 5.0 - Vox Machinae
Apr 23, 2022

If you like mech combat and the idea of piloting a massive metal fighting machine… grab a copy because it remains some of the best immersion I've had in VR to date and I suspect it might be for you too (certainly for new comers to VR… sit them down and put them in the pilot seat and wait for the Keanuesque "Whoa!"). Even if it's not on special it's a pretty good price for the fun you can have.

Ultimately, if you like the Lego series of games then there's a high probability that you will like this… if you also like the Star Wars films (even just some of them) then this should be high on your list of items to purchase. It's certainly a cheaper way to enjoy a bunch of Lego sets with the ability to play through your favourite parts of the Star Wars films.

So there's a lot going on here and considering you get three impressive games with some very engaging story telling, it's a pretty compelling collection. Visually it is showing it's age a bit but the switch has it's limitations and there's only so much you can do bringing a game up to modern standards before you basically end up remaking the whole thing. Having said that, it's not bad for what it is and it does do a decent job of putting the Switch through it's paces.
