A tedious slog that sullies the legacy of its vaunted predecessors.
Clever, different, but sadly all too brief. Moss might not be the singular game to justify the purchase of a PlayStation VR, but it is one of a growing number of PSVR releases that build up a decent list of reasons to pick one up.
Despite one or two cruel difficulty spikes, Gravel is one of the better examples of off-road racing in a while. Its mix of semi-realism and over-the-top arcade style makes for some exciting races, while its progression system keeps it accessible to almost anyone.
Although there isn't a lot to it, its chaotic neon visuals and sense of introspection make it a worthwhile experience.
Just like Rogue Trooper Redux and the recent Age of Empires remaster, the focus has been almost entirely on upgrading visuals instead of the gameplay. As a result, Battlezone: Combat Commander still feels like a game released nearly 20 years ago.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is vast and ambitious, but won't please everyone no matter how hard it tries.
Aegis Defenders takes two genres I like on their own and blends them together to create a memorable and fun experience that absolutely shines in co-op.
Dandara has some interesting ideas and great visual design, but it rarely feels rewarding. It drags in the middle and the final third just frustrates, sucking the fun out of the experience.
A slow start to Fatal Bullet makes way for some great gunplay, but that peters out as derivative dungeon design and bullet sponge bosses take hold and throttle the life out of it.
When played with friends, Payday 2 is the ultimate heist game, offering tons to see, do, and unlock.
While Age of Empires was once the best game of its kind, the Definitive Edition's changes are only superficial, ignoring the gameplay advancements that have improved the genre since 1997. As such, only existing fans will fully appreciate it.
It may not be a great game, but the puzzles are impressive. It's just shame it has such a rushed ending that never rewards you for following the plot.
Striker's Edge harks back to the time of 90s arcade sports titles, and it's just as fun but short lived as they were.
Samsara is a pleasant puzzle game that doesn't quite challenge enough to give you the unique satisfaction of the “ah-ha” moment when you solve something particularly difficult.
Hacktag is a wonderful experience and a fine example of how asymmetry in gameplay design can create an interesting dynamic of teamwork. It's a unique spin on co-op games that is worth you and your friends' time.
Fe is very pretty, and the music is equally stunning. It's a wonderful little game let down by some drawn out puzzles and some tricky climbing mechanics.
Owlboy was already worth playing and now even more people can enjoy it. They also fixed the icon that was seemingly a mistake prior to release for the people who pre-ordered and preloaded it.
Bayonetta on the Switch is a fantastic port for handheld mode but there's not much improved for TV gamers aside from load times.
Bayonetta 2 remains one of Platinum's best games, and is a treat on Switch just as it was on Wii U.
