Warlock's Tower puts a unique spin on the classic puzzler genre.
Hellmut: The Badass from Hell does the dungeon crawling genre proud.
They Are Billions is an enjoyable survival game that's hampered by poor controls and a lack of variety.
Outer Wilds is a time-bending thrill ride that never ceases to amaze.
Damsel is a spirited, fast-paced platformer that is enhanced by its comic book inspirations.
Vigor features fun gameplay and an interesting premise, but lacks longevity.
NASCAR Heat 4 is a fun and realistic racing game with tons of customization options.
Bus Simulator 18 is a buggy, disappointing mess with only its driving mechanics serving as a mild saving grace.
World of Warships: Legends features a lot of fast-paced, tense naval combat but too much focus on microtransactions.
A Knight's Quest's puzzles are incredible.
Narcos: Rise of the Cartels doesn't really offer anything new in the turn-based genre, but it's still a polished good time.
Weakless embraces beautiful scenery and complex puzzles but ends right as things are getting interesting.
Spaceland mimics old school turn-based strategy games with great success, though it does become repetitive after awhile.
These are minor design flaws, however, and most can be overlooked because the rest of The Persistence is simply astounding. It's not just a successful port from VR to console and PC, it's a terrifying and unique roguelike/first-person horror hybrid. And every experience will be a new one, which means there's nearly endless scares to be found within. The Persistence is horror gaming done right, and that has little to do with whether it's VR or not.
Bless Unleashed offers a fun, standard MMORPG experience but lacks the technical polish of its peers.
Bleeding Edge wastes its limitless potential with bare bones content and repetitive gameplay.
The Inner Friend nails the horror even if it's disappointingly short.
The Complex fails at being an engaging interactive experience, video game and story.
Demon's Tier+ is a chaotic and pulse-pounding roguelike, but it's also just a bit too repetitive.
Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia doesn't reinvent the strategy game, but it's a perfect representation of everything is does well.
