I'm very happy that Alphadia I & II exists as it's a wonderful introduction to the underrated RPG series and these games are actually superior to the more recent offerings which surprised and delighted me. Now, this is how you remake RPGs, folks.
With oodles of variety, rewarding combat, and eye-popping cinematic visuals, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is undoubtedly a game worth buying a PlayStation 5 for. It's one of the best action games ever made.
Although the first game received a more substantial upgrade, FRONT MISSION 2: Remake is still a must-have SRPG for fans of the genre and at its core; it remains the superior of the 2 titles despite some minor missteps with the update. 🤖
The Sisters 2 - Road to Fame is a very good follow-up to a silly party game that's much better than you'd expect it to be. Whether you're having fun with friends or taking on the hilarious campaign solo, you're bound to keep a smile on your face with this gem.
SONIC SUPERSTARS surpassed my expectations as I thought it would simply be a fun co-op iteration of the classics. However, its adorable game world, variety of gameplay, assortment of clever challenges, and hidden goodies to find really makes it go above and beyond.
There's a lot to enjoy in Lords of the Fallen, especially with its phenomenal dual-world reality that adds a layer to exploration. Slaying bosses and trekking ahead may not always be a delight but what's here is still very good nonetheless.
Forza Motorsport is a superb racing sim that marks a welcome return to the genre. If you're a gearhead or simply enjoy a more realistic approach to racing then I highly recommend checking it out although those averse to the genre will likely remain unswayed.
You wouldn't expect a game called Bang-On Balls: Chronicles to be as epically fun as it is and I'm very happy that this indie gem exists.
Bilkins' Folly is a lovely game with loads of rewarding puzzles to figure out but being able to progress is often an overly taxing affair.
I loved A Tiny Sticker Tale way more than I thought I would thanks to its distinct gameplay, clever scenarios, and adorable world.
I had a lot of fun with Shy Cats Hidden Orchestra and it's a silly game to play on the TV with friends so you can all find cats together.
I unashamedly love Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs and would easily recommend it to any PSVR2 owner thanks to its super-fun gameplay.
If its gameplay was more fine-tuned, Paperman: Adventure Delivered could have been a great throwback to PS2-era platformers.
Throwing yourself around the complex levels of TOSS! is a great deal of fun but be careful because you can easily hurt your arms.
The combat of RUINSMAGUS: COMPLETE doesn't offer much satisfaction but hanging out in its town is nothing short of delightful.
I wish that Project Wingman: Frontline 59 took a more arcade-like approach to its VR implementation because it feels needlessly limiting.
Crossfire: Sierra Squad is a solid albeit standard military shooter that straddles the line between realistic and arcade a little too safely.
I thoroughly enjoyed the simple action of GAZZLERS with its fun upgrades and roguelike structure but it's ultimately very repetitive.
If you're in the mood for an abstract fast-paced puzzle-filled boss-slaying adventure then you really can't do much better than Cocoon.
Besides a few new unit types and a nifty mode, Wargroove 2 is more of the same but when the core formula is this fun, that's great.
