There's a whole lot to like about The Golf Club 2 but there are a few things here and there that bring it down a peg. It's still a good game, but not as great as it could be.
It's a mostly enjoyable experience, with a few dull moments here and there, that should keep the majority of players happy. Having a deep management simulation is a matter of perspective after all. To some, this may seem lacking, to others it might seem like there is a lot going on. Either way you see it, it's a good effort at trying to bring the management sim to a bigger audience.
What's there is good and fun, but it's the few things that aren't there that keep it from being a truly great phenomenon.
Raiden V: Director's Cut has a nice rhythm and flow to it and the difficulty seems neutral enough to be appealing to most gamers.
Even taking into account some of those negatives, Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a really good game to play.
All things considered, Nano Shift VR was a very enjoyable experience.
What's there is very good, but only if that's what you are interested in.
Killing Floor: Incursion is a pretty solid VR experience. The single player (or co-op) provides a great atmosphere. When it comes to getting the horror aspect to be actually horrific, Tripwire Interactive has done an excellent job. It's really that experience that sells it.
The only area in which the tactics seems a bit forced was during the boss battles.
The sense of scale, that awe of something you were not expecting to be so grand.

Bottom line, while the art may have seen a drastic change the gameplay largely remains the same. The simplicity in controls allows for focus to remain on one's opponent. That simple style keeps things fun. The stages are constructed well enough that you never feel cheated by the environment, helping to zoom in even more on player vs. player combat.

All in all, this is a great homage to 1980’s cop shows that shouldn’t be missed.
Overall I'm really impressed with Gunheart. It's easy to get caught up in the importance of the cross-play aspect, but the game itself is great fun. It's a solid shooter, which some great mechanics and customization that should keep players engaged for quite some time, at the very least long enough to get their money's worth.
I rarely talk about the music in games, but it's catchy and fits the atmosphere enough to make one feel like they are standing in front of an arcade cabinet instead of sitting at their PC.
The few performance issues aside, it's a game that's hard not to like.
Don't let a saturated wave shooter market put you off, Raw Data is clearly one of the best out there.
Overall, the Bethesda Pinball DLC is an excellent pack of tables.
There are very few games I would classify as a must buy but DiRT Rally 2.0 absolutely is one of them.
