GNOG is an artistic fever dream that oozes imagination; it is equal parts delightful and bizarre.

9 / 10 - Statik
May 2, 2017

Statik does what any good puzzle game should: it challenges you. No puzzle felt unfair or insurmountable. The game itself, and the way in which it is played, is arguably the best use of the PSVR yet.

Layered with enough depth and intricacy for genre veterans, but loaded with fantastic tutorials and information for newcomers, this game welcomes all types of players. A formula that has been bettered, through and through, Expeditions: Viking is an absolute joy.

With the right crowd and the right mood, you'll have a lot of laughs and a great time. Use Your Words follows the format of the genre, but is just unique enough to be memorable.

8 / 10 - Toukiden 2
Mar 24, 2017

Toukiden 2 is another solid entry in the series and probably your best bet for a demon-hunting experience on current gen consoles.

As a shooter, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is tactical, refined, and precise. As a world it is open, sprawling, and filled with things to do/find. And as a co-op experience, it's arguably one of the best yet.

7 / 10 - Loot Rascals
Mar 2, 2017

With a deeper sense of strategy than most games of its kind, Loot Rascals might just be the thinking man's roguelike you've been waiting for. Although slow and steady, it offers a lot to love.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a remarkable accomplishment and a truly triumphant return of a storied franchise. Masterfully executed on all fronts, this game will leave a lasting impression on you long after you’re done.

You can have a good time going 1v1, but it doesn’t feel as intense. With Magnet Knights, you really have to go all in to get the most bang for your buck.

If you’re dying to have a shooting gallery type game for PSVR, there are better options. There are more fleshed-out titles, for equal or less cash, than Ace Banana.

What Pixel Gear lacks in depth and length, it makes up for in fluidity, simplicity, and fun.

4 / 10 - Weeping Doll
Nov 25, 2016

Weeping Doll is a brief preview of what horror is capable of, if given time. However, it does not stand on its own as anything noteworthy.

Motorsport Manager does a fantastic job of making the strenuous, tedious job it simulates into something much more enjoyable… It is not perfect, but is one of the best sports management games out there right now.

Ascension is at its best when you allow it to wow you, let it win you over… It requires as much patience as the developers had, but it rewards you. With that, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence – Ascension is a staggering accomplishment, and a pretty darn good game, too.

Battlezone is one of PSVR’s bulkiest titles, but fails to drum up replayability in the long run.

Blisteringly fast and relentlessly unforgiving, Thumper will keep you engaged for hours.

RIGS showcases the grandiose nature of VR, and the insane worlds it can create. I for one have been sold on the future possibilities, based on what I’ve seen here.

It's strenuous trying to enjoy a game that has four difficulty settings that can all be worked around in the same fashion

The physics-based play of the game makes for some astounding puzzles that bend your mind and stretch your problem-solving skills to the limit
