Fort Solis is an excellent sci-fi adventure that can be slow at times, but features an all-star voice cast and immersive gameplay that makes it an unforgettable experience.
Forspoken offers an engaging story and fluid traversal mechanics that make the act of exploring the world and upgrading Frey's magical abilities an absolute delight.
Shadows of Rose is a fairly concise experience that doesn't stray too far from the source material. It does offer greater insight into the character of Rosemary Winters and her relationship (or lack thereof) with her father. Resident Evil fans looking for a deeper connection into her story will love the time they spend playing as her in this third-person experience.
Splatoon 3 finally feels like the full package that expertly pulls together single-player, multiplayer and a streamlined video game experience. Though some players have reported connection issues early on, the game is overall a stable and super-fun experience for anyone looking to get into Splatoon.
The Bugsnax: Isle of Bigsnax DLC adds more of what makes the base Bugsnax game fun, but doesn't add compelling story or character content that makes this a must-play. That being said, fans of Bugsnax will love exploring this new island and solving the puzzles presented by figuring out how to capture the new different giant Bugsnax.
Nintendo Switch Sports delivers on what it promises while leaving the door open for more updates in the future. Despite some control hiccups and occasional network disconnections, Nintendo Switch Sports is an excellent entry in the Switch library.
Though parts of this game are incredible, the Jurassic World Aftermath stealth mechanics aren't fully realized, leading to frustrating sequences. Despite this, the world-building narrative and impressive voice cast makes this a worthy addition for any Jurassic Park fan.
Resident Evil 4 VR is a brilliant reimagining of a classic favorite. Easily the most dynamic of any Resident Evil 4 port, Leon can shoot, reload and heal while on the run, making for a thrilling survival horror experience.
Carve Snowboarding does a lot of things well, but it's held back by lack of multiplayer support and limited level selection. Still, for a fast-paced VR snowboarding experience, this game definitely delivers.
Don't Be Afraid is a great psychological thriller game that will put you up against formidable enemies in terrifying locations. Though at times the game can be a bit glitchy and the pacing can feel off, Hydra Games did a great job of creating an immersive world for you to explore with memorable characters.
