Windjammers is easy to pick up and play, but difficult to master, which adds to its addictive qualities. It's best played with other gamers, but also offers single-player experiences.
NASCAR Heat 2 is a solid stock car racing game that suffers from a bit of a grinding in its Career Mode. Outside of that it's a complete racing game experience that feels great and honors NASCAR's spirit.
The Enigma is a great starting point for Telltale's new season of its Batman series. It has plenty of content, action, albeit in QTE form, and a great narrative that is only the start of this season's nefarious arc.
Archangel VR is a legit video game from Skydance Interactive that is much more than a glorified tech demo, which most VR games seem to be these days.
While the gameplay can get a bit stale, the pure lunacy of the campaign's plot and cutscenes make this a worthy Wolfenstein sequel to play.
Chess Ultra is just an all around great chess video game, and its 4K and VR support make its package even more unique. Players of all skill levels will find hours of fun and learning contained within this complete digital chess experience.
Embers of Mirrim is a beautiful looking game with a unique approach to platforming, and outside of the challenge getting a bit frustrating late in the game, it's a solid title worth checking out on the PC, PS4, or Xbox One.
NBA Playgrounds doesn't try to hide its NBA Jams influences in the least, and that's just fine, because this arcade basketball title is one Jam fans and newcomers will both appreciate.
I was a huge fan of the original SUPERHOT, and now after playing the VR version, which is an entirely new experience, my fandom has only been strengthened for this unique FPS puzzle game. Let’s just say it definitely can make you feel like Neo dodging bullets in the Matrix, and for me that’s enough of a reason alone to try it out. With that being said you should still check out my full review below in video or scripted format.
The Good Knight serves as a respectable close to The Odd Gentlemen's King's Quest series, and while some of the puzzles are very vague, others shine as does the narrative.
Telltale continues to weave its Batman tale in New World Order, which is quite short and devoid of interesting gameplay, but still a worthy entry thanks to it continuing the interesting Batman/Bruce narrative.
The Turing Test is a great first person puzzler with an intriguing sci-fi inspired narrative. Its gameplay is a bit repetitive early on and the ending is a bit too open ended for my tastes, but overall it's a solid FPP worth experiencing for just $20.
Vampyr offers up a very intriguing take on the iconic monster, while also offering up one of the deepest morality systems ever featured in an action-RPG. This is a game worth experiencing.
Last Day of June is a beautiful looking narrative driven game that suffers a bit from repetition, but if you can get past that it has an emotionally charged tale to experience.
Telltale for the most part has nailed the essence of the Guardians of the Galaxy and their relationships with each other and the galaxy. Outside of a few technical issue such as a bad camera during certain gameplay segments, it's a fun first foray into Telltale's take on the Guardians of the Galaxy.
The latest Indie gem to come from Devolver Digital is now here, and if you love oddball types of games that offer up unique gameplay experiences and sentient bananas, then My Friend Pedro will be right up your demented, side-scrolling shooter loving alley.
Arca's Path VR's use of gaze controls really helps to make it feel unique but intuitive. It's a bit short, but still well worth the investment for the meditative experience it provides.
This episode returns this Telltale Batman series to form, so if you haven't enjoyed the past two, then I urge you to give it one more shot thanks to this rather exciting and informative episode.
Above the Law presents some very difficult choices that can lead to grave impacts on your particular journey through Telltale's latest take on The Walking Dead. It's well worth playing if you're already invested in the series, but also if you're considering picking up the Season Pass.
VR Invaders may not offer a 10+ hour campaign, but it does offer a very enjoyable and immersive VR shooting game experience with vibrant visuals and challenging gameplay.
