Retropolis 2 is a very successful indie game. It pleases with good puzzles, a coherent game world and an exciting story. If the whole thing gets bigger in scope, we might even have a system seller with part 3.

Unscored - VR Skater
Feb 8, 2024

SL Pro Series Tour does what good DLCs should do: expand and improve the base game. The design of the new areas in particular is convincing, as is the freedom gained with the introduction of the turning manoeuvre. "SL Pro Series Tour" is a successful add-on package that is a must-buy for owners of the game. Interested parties have never had a better opportunity to try skateboarding in virtual reality.

The sequel remains true to its predecessor and takes the franchise to a new level. Strong graphics and superb weapon control are the biggest plus points. On the other hand, the level of difficulty is low and the artificial intelligence is average at best. Simple light hearted fun and suited best for casual mature PSVR2-users.

68% - Gazzlers
Nov 22, 2023

While Gazzlers certainly has its moments, the train runs out of steam at the end. A little more content would have helped. The result is a solid arcade shooter whose biggest weakness is the strong competition.

"The Walking Dead: Saint & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution" seamlessly follows on from the good performance of the first part, but still shouldn't inspire everyone equally. If you remember the interesting story of the first part and the stealth as highlights, you might not like the changed focus. If you felt underchallenged in part 1, you should get your money's worth, especially in the night excursions. For those interested, however, we recommend playing part 1 first, as the introduction was not solved optimally. Fans of survival horror titles should definitely grab this one.

Vampire: The Masquerade is an ambitious game from an indie development studio. The result is solid and it entertains well throughout its eight-hour runtime. First and foremost, the game world is superb. On the other hand the stealth sequences disappoint with rather fiddly controls. We sincerely hope that a patch will fix these issues.

Great gameplay meets limited content and a high price tag. Racket Fury feels like an appetizer in a Michelin-starred restaurant, except that the main course is not yet in sight.

The saying "Firstly, things turn out differently and secondly, than you think" pretty much describes our time with "Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord VR". Neither the setting nor the gameplay were able to captivate us for long. It's fun to do the same with the ghosts, and we had some fun moments in the cooperative mode. However, the gameplay wear and tear is too great to justify the full price.

Thanks to an extensive overall package and good weapon controls, "Crossfire Sierra Squad" is fun. The short levels offer a good opportunity to play the game in small sessions. Nevertheless, Sierra Squad is not enough to make the leap into the front row, especially because of the lousy artificial intelligence.

"Journey to Foundation" doesn't play in the league of VR greats like "Resident Evil Village" or "Half Life: Alyx". In film, it would be categorized as a B-movie, and this comparison is apt. The developers were ambitious and offer a good game structure with many elements. The solid story is carried by the game, which mostly offers a lengthy and uninspiring gameplay. Unfortunately, the technical deficits continue to cloud the overall picture, so that the purchase price of around CHF 40 is not justified at this point in time.

The PSVR2-version is a great way to dive into the Angry Birds-series. With an unlimited supply from levels around the globe, an intuitive handling and good level design, fans of light puzzles games will get their enjoyment out of their purchase.

No, in its current state we cannot recommend "Tennis On-Court". While the game has a lot of potential, it's not the first time in PS VR2's young history that a half-finished game has been released at launch. It will be interesting to see if the developers are willing to implement the necessary improvements.

The 7th Guest VR is an all-round successful implementation of a somewhat outdated game principle. The game convinces with a coherent game world, its exciting story and an overall good puzzle quality. It's just a shame that the developers don't use haptic feedback and there are some missing comfort options.

Underneath its technical disappointments lies, at heart, a good game. Given the high performance of the PSVR2, the implementation disappoints.

79% - VR Skater
Aug 8, 2023

"VR Skater" is a successful VR implementation of skateboarding. The operation is intuitive, challenging and, above all, very fun. However, the handling is manageable. The surcharge for the PS-VR2 version is also difficult to understand, which means that the PC VR version is currently preferable. If you like skating, you can access it here without hesitation. For everyone else, we recommend waiting for a price reduction.

In the end, "Fitness Circuit" is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, we get the reduced version of a fitness game in which the developers have deliberately focused on the essentials. The latter are 45 basically good fitness exercises, which unfortunately bring certain compromises on the side of muscle building due to the system. Nevertheless, it is a good opportunity for those who don't like fitness to get in shape in a playful way! In contrast to "Ring Fit Adventure", for example, the exercises are also feasible for complete beginners.

At the end of the day, Across the Valley is a tech demo to show a newcomer to VR. There is no material for long-term motivation and therefore it is not recommended except as a showcase.
