Finding clues can be a bit of a treasure hunt at times, but I never minded as the world was so beautifully brought to life.
Overall F1 2017 took that momentum from 2016 and built on it to create an excellent experience.
Pinball FX3 takes the groundwork laid by its predecessors and continues to raise the bar.
Project Cars 2 is darn near mesmerizing to look at, it's so pretty.

There are very few games I would classify as a must buy but DiRT Rally 2.0 absolutely is one of them.
Overall, the Bethesda Pinball DLC is an excellent pack of tables.
Don't let a saturated wave shooter market put you off, Raw Data is clearly one of the best out there.
The few performance issues aside, it's a game that's hard not to like.
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.
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.
All in all, this is a great homage to 1980’s cop shows that shouldn’t be missed.

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.
_________________________ “Traveling through the dungeons gives that rare feeling of a pen and paper RPG coming to life.
The sense of scale, that awe of something you were not expecting to be so grand.
The only area in which the tactics seems a bit forced was during the boss battles.
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.
What's there is very good, but only if that's what you are interested in.
All things considered, Nano Shift VR was a very enjoyable experience.
