9 / 10.0 - Darkest Dungeon
Feb 9, 2016

Darkest Dungeon is one of the most atmospheric games I've played in a very long time, it nails its core concept and delivers an exceptionally well-crafted and interesting dungeon crawler that will take you hundreds of terrifying hours to see through to its ludicrous ending.

9 / 10.0 - Street Fighter V
Feb 15, 2016

It's hard to find fault with the bigger picture Capcom has in mind here and, assuming the online issues are dealt with quickly at launch and the rest of the game modes arrive as promised, this is looking like a perfect round.

9 / 10.0 - XCOM 2
Feb 25, 2016

It's a game that creates moments you'll remember with characters you've created and care about and is quite possibly the best example of its genre to date.

Mar 21, 2016

Double Fine has done another great on remastering a classic, delicately updating it in such a way that what stood out in 1993 stands out all over again more than 20 years later.

Apr 8, 2016

Hyper Light Drifter is one of the most perfectly balanced, stylish and intriguing action RPGs of recent times.

9 / 10.0 - Doom
May 18, 2016

It may not be genre-defining like its progenitor but it's easily the best shooter on the current crop of consoles and one of the finest first person shooters of recent years.

8 / 10.0 - PAC-MAN 256
Jun 24, 2016

Takes the classic addictive gameplay we all know and love and successfully mixes it with the endless runner genre to create a surprisingly good and extremely affordable little gem.

4.5 / 10.0 - Asemblance
Jun 29, 2016

The here and now of Asemblance leaves you with more questions than answers, and not in the way Nilo intended.

Oct 20, 2016

Horror elements are overcooked and, alongside seriously limited interactions, lead to a game that’s not half as frightening as it thinks it is.

8 / 10.0 - Battlezone (VR)
Oct 26, 2016

Battlezone is a tough, fun and addictive tank warfare game in its own right that throws down a gauntlet to teams of players and challenges them to really work together to succeed.

Oct 26, 2016

A brilliantly simple, fiendishly addictive puzzler and another of the standout games so far on PSVR.

Nov 3, 2016

At its heart Valkyrie is a straightforward, arcade shooter which lacks enough variety in its gameplay to stop it growing stale quite quickly, and, for the asking price, it’s perhaps only fully recommendable to the most enthusiastic of space pirates.

8.5 / 10.0 - Headmaster (VR)
Nov 8, 2016

Headmaster is an easy-to-recommend, addictive and fun little game that is a worthy addition to any PSVR library.

3 / 10.0 - Weeping Doll
Nov 16, 2016

This is a lazy cash in, a shoddy waste of your time with nothing to recommend beyond the fact it’s one of the cheapest games in the PSVR catalogue thus far.

7.5 / 10.0 - Driveclub VR
Nov 16, 2016

If you’re willing to overlook some blurry visuals and get down to the serious business of racing you’ll find that there’s still a lot to love here and, for a launch title, it’s an impressive first outing for racing games on PSVR.

Dec 1, 2016

It feels like such an almighty shame that a game this beautiful, with such a compelling premise, should be let down by a failure to include anything approaching interesting gameplay.

Dec 6, 2016

Carnival games falls so short of achieving anything good that it’s genuinely hard to think of a reason for anyone to buy it.

Dec 14, 2016

The new mode is unnecessary and strips away the very elements of gameplay that make Super Stardust so good in the first place.

5 / 10.0 - Windlands (VR)
Dec 14, 2016

Windlands is a pretty great idea that could have been an essential PSVR title had more thought been put into its traversal.

7 / 10.0 - Hyper Sentinel
May 8, 2018

A pretty straightforward modernising of a fondly remembered 1980s shoot 'em up that successfully adds a handful of modern bells, whistles and gameplay wrinkles to proceedings whilst also suffering somewhat from the inherent gameplay restrictions of its source material.
