It plays really well, you almost feel that bat in your hand as the ball does what you want it to, and the intensity of the competition is as real as any squash court.
Final Fantasy XVI isn’t perfect. Its smaller battles can get a bit monotonous. The world arguably isn’t open enough for today’s standards. And the game takes far too long to reveal itself. But when you do hit those mega battles after hours of plugging away, the win tastes that much sweeter. And the combat, visuals and audio all work so well together in delivering a frantic action role-player that’ll give you tons of fun.
You’ll kill a lot of demons, beat a few bosses and enjoy going off on side quests to delve further into the lore of the series.
Full of content for all different types of gamer, whether that’s the one-vs-computer classic Street Fighter type or the player who loves to live online, making new pals. But underneath it all is an excellent fighting game that is as addictive as it ever was and a joy to play.
This type of game has been done far better before.
Electronic Arts should be proud of what Respawn has accomplished here. Let’s hope there’s another epic to come in future.
Those seeking more may well tire of the game after a handful of hours.
Minecraft Legends is gaming at its best - fun, welcoming, evolving, easy to play but endlessly difficult to master. And best played with friends. You’ll be continuously tested by this game and it takes its forebears’ core mechanics and adds them neatly into a new-but-familiar mix of action and strategy.
Switchback VR is fun, and tries to make the most of the PSVR2 but its wildly bouncing storyline and one-trick-pony gameplay means you’ll tire of it fairly quickly.
A must-buy for Resident Evil fans. And well worth a look for those seeking an incredibly challenging, stressful horror game where you never feel like you’ve got enough ammo to survive.
Overall, a lovely little game. Not what we were expecting at all, and that’s a good thing. It’s wonderful to look at, tricky with its puzzles and helps to build out the Bayonetta franchise.
It’s a bit of a one-and-done game, so burns bright but dies fast.
It’s all a bit trippy, intense in gameplay, musically brilliant and highly enjoyable. This is exactly what VR is there for.
A decent but not amazing game with few surprises.
The multiplayer element adds replayability, as does the mini-games section, and there are enough collectibles and hidden sections to want you coming back for more.
Horizon: Call of the Mountain is the single best VR game I’ve played and shows exactly what the PSVR2 is capable of.
While the premise remains the same throughout, the battles each offer unique enough enemies to ensure your tactics have to change per fight and progress is a must to move on. Well worth a look if you’re into lengthy epic boss battles.
This is a must-buy for Potter fanatics and a very good game for those less fussed by the lore of the much-loved kids books. It’s got strong combat, depth to its open world, plenty of character and a decent storyline.
Ideal for kids, its a great game to bond over between parents and children with a bit of old-fashioned gamepad swapping.
It’s a good game to play, just not a great game and that’s a shame.
