60% - Deliriant
May 29, 2017

Deliriant is more like an interactive artistic experience than a game itself. There isn't much to do besides exploring a house of the 1970s and observing its objects and furniture, in an attempt to understand the story they hold. For patient players, the game opens up to different interpretations, which may involve themes like abuse, neglect and dreams given up due to other responsibilities in life (whether planned or not).

65 / 100 - Spellspire
May 23, 2017

Spellspire has a nice concept and a creative gameplay, mixing a letter scramble game with quick battles. There is good diversity of items, equipment and enemies. However, since the game holds the same structure of its mobile version, with the absence of microtransactions, its qualities are overshadowed by an excessive grinding that discourages in the medium term.

68 / 100 - Island Time VR
Apr 3, 2018

Island Time VR is a survival game with easy gameplay mechanics and quick matches, which can easily become chaotic if the player is not careful. Even though it is an entertaining experience, the game offers a limited amount of activities that can be done, becoming a title to be played occasionally for a short period of time or in the company of a group of friends.

Final Fantasy XV's spin-off, Monster of the Deep, is a fishing game that will surely please more the fans of the Final Fantasy series than any other player. Virtual Reality grants advantages to fishing, be it the freedom of movement or the immersion in the environment. However, casting is very difficult and counterintuitive, which takes a chunk of the fun. Graphics are presented in a level of details that the PSVR cannot deliver, which also adds up to an experience that could have been better.

69 / 100 - Rain World
Mar 27, 2017

Do not be fooled by the serene music or a cute protagonist, Rain World is an extremely difficult and highly frustrating survival game. You will become part of the food chain from a hostile environment with deadly rains. Death will constantly follow your steps and progression will have a slow pace. Several secrets await to be uncovered, including game's own mechanics and objectives. If all of this enticed your competitive spirit, go for it; buy the game and be happy. Otherwise, stay away from all the stress. Above all, have in mind that you may face technical problems that may corrupt your save file.

70 / 100 - Audio Beats
Apr 15, 2018

Audio Beats brings rhythm games to Virtual Reality platforms, presenting great mechanics that explore well the virtual space. However, offering only five tracks to play is disappointing, and for that, Audio Beats is more of a proof of concept than a full game. If future updates including more content were to be offered by the developers, Audio Beats will become a great addition to the PlayStation VR library.

Urban legends serve as a rich source material for horror stories. Don't Knock Twice is based on one, mixed with Slavic folklore to create a supernatural horror plot. It begins with clich' elements, but the story becomes interesting enough, with an unexpected twist towards the end. The game is compatible with VR and non-VR devices, but is definitively recommended to play it with the PSVR, as jump scares and moments of tension get a realistic feel, as well as interacting with the environment is much more intuitive.

Telltale's third season of The Walking Dead had a great start, but it's getting worse every new episode. Thicker than Water is the weakest point in the story, bringing an unbalanced and inconsistent narrative. Its climax rests upon Javi's flashback, which reveals more about the relationship with his brother David. Remaining only one more episode to save this season, it's time to question if the series can hold another one, or if Telltale's formula is already saturated.

Symphony of the Machine is a zen VR puzzle, more focused on a soothing atmosphere and observation than on intense gameplay. With simple and intuitive controls, and its core mechanic based on manipulation of light, this could be an entry point for non-VR players, as well as a good entertainment for those more experienced. Despite being fun, the game is too short, which is why you should probably wait a price drop to get it.

Bringing an unusual proposal, Oh...Sir! The Insult Simulator allows the player free to duel against a CPU or another player in a competition for the best insult. Sentences are based on humor and fun, instead of heavy swearing. It's a casual game that entertains in short sessions, given the small roster of characters and scenarios.

70 / 100 - Arizona Sunshine
Jul 6, 2017

Arizona Sunshine is a game developed for Virtual Reality devices that was well acclaimed on PCs. The release for the Playstation VR, however, brings an inferior experience, partially due to the tracking technology of the PSVR, which suffers with occlusion problems and interference from other light sources. One of the highlights of the game is the way players aim and shoot, which is very similar to real life. The game has a campaign mode with a good length, but the player will probably enjoy and spend most of the time in the Horde mode, facing infinite zombie waves.

The second book of The Pillars of the Earth brings a fast pace to the story and shows that, not only the construction of the cathedral is growing, but so are the dangers lurking around the characters. Decisions made by the player may change some story plots when compared to the original book, even taking unexpected directions. The game itself also changes important parts of the story, with absences and superficial treatment to some themes that may not please fans of the book.

75 / 100 - The Inpatient
Feb 3, 2018

The Inpatient is a first-person horror game for PlayStation VR that takes place decades before the events of Until Dawn. Although the story takes place during an important time in which the origins of the enemy from the original game are explained, The Inpatient touches superficially on those events, focusing more on a psychological terror and in its own narrative - you are a patient in Blackwood Sanatorium, suffering from amnesia and blackouts, trying to understand how and why you are there. While the game has great graphics and good moments of horror and tension, sometimes it gets tedious and is relatively short, not justifying the high launch price.

75 / 100 - Late Shift
Apr 18, 2017

Late Shift is an interactive movie of cinematic quality. Players have the power to decide what the protagonist should do next, shaping the narrative with their decisions and leading to seven possible endings. Every decision you take is shown seamless on screen, without abrupt transitions that may disrupt your immersion. It is an enjoyable thriller, even though some events may happen without so much development, making them hard to believe. For the same price of a DVD release, it is worth a shot.

The fourth episode of the second season of Minecraft: Story Mode focuses again in its story, with scarce moments of action and exploration. In compensation, the main characters have a good amount of time for their development. It is not the best episode, but a good warmup for the ultimate battle against Romeo, the Admin playing antagonist in this season.

Jesse and friends return for another season of adventures throughout the world of blocks of Minecraft. In a period of relative peace, the Order of the Stone use their time to deal with administrative duties, with adventures being relegated to second plan. The situation changes when Jesse and Petra investigate a mine and a prismarine gauntlet gets stuck on the protagonist's hand. The story takes longer than it should to get interesting, which happens only towards the end of the episode. New players can start their journey from here, since (unfortunately) decisions from last season only bring subtle and aesthetic changes, and important characters appear for a short moment or are briefly mentioned.

77 / 100 - Obduction
Dec 17, 2017

Obduction is a great first person puzzle game, developed by the makers of Myst, thus being a spiritual successor to this game. The player will find clever and challenging puzzles within a mysterious world that gradually reveals a dense and intriguing story, all of this followed by a great art direction, creating stunning and complex environments. Unfortunately, performance issues and lack of optimization bring constant stuttering and a long loading time, being a source of anger and frustration after some time. The delay in fixing these problems and bringing an expected update to the PSVR overshadows the many qualities of the game.

This season ends with a cheesy episode, but it is entertaining during its last part and provides a closure to most of the story plots. Overall, the second season of Minecraft: Story Mode has brought a surprisingly good combat system and boss battles, however, the decisions made during the campaign had a minor relevance when compared to the first season.

Skyrim VR is the best immersive experience that the player will get among the various versions already released of the game. The player will have the sensation of actually being in the northern cold lands of Tamriel, exploring its diverse and beautiful settings and interacting with NPCs. On the other hand, in terms of graphics, the game has inferior visuals compared to the remastered version. Using a pair of PlayStation Move as controllers is both liberating and frustrating, due to several tracking problems that greatly disrupt the combat, thus making this type of control more of an experience that entertains momentarily, but that inevitably will make the player stick to the DualShock.
