Skyrim offers the most complete VR experience on PlayStation 4, but it comes at a cost.
By bringing Apollo Justice to 3DS, every main title in the Ace Attorney series is now readily available to fans looking to dive into court cases on the handheld.
Monsters of the Deep is a beautiful tragedy in terms of a VR experience. The visuals are stunning and it could have been a great fishing simulation, but ends up being lazy and broken. A fishing VR game is a good idea and the controls may be better with the motion controls, but trying to fish is a hassle even when a sense of consistency is established.
School Girl/Zombie Hunter had the potential to be a B-movie style good time that unfortunately is so bad that it's bad.
Basically, Rive is pure 16-bit action from back when console games were still balanced between the arcade and more modern-style adventures.
Empire Divided is a fun change of pace from the standard Rome II fare.
Although it has Mario Party in the title, Top 100 is lacking in the more complex and competitive nature that fans of the series have come to look forward to.
Road Rage takes the Road Rash formula and fails to live up to any single entry in that series despite great advances in technology since its last entry — let alone its heyday.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 has a core audience in mind and is especially great for younger players or those looking for a fun co-op experience.
Uurnog Uurnlimited is a great example of poor execution.
Star Wars Battlefront II is the epitome of taking a step forward, shooting yourself in the foot and then falling backwards in pain.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an amazing game and this was never more true than in 2011.
The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs is an excellent — and much-needed — addition to an already fantastic game.
The Sims 4 on both PS4 and Xbox One is a welcome addition for the series, allowing players that might not have the PC capabilities to enjoy a beloved series.
Even with the issues that arise from massive gaps between checkpoints and a few niggles here and there, Tower 57 is still a blast, accomplishing its goal of reminding us why these types of games from the Amiga era ended up being classics.
From Other Suns is an example of how VR tech should be implemented in games.
While not the most robust of the PlayLink games, Knowledge is Power is still a fun, playable game show that family and friends will easily be able to pick up and play.
Simulacra might not be perfect, but it highlights that the found phone horror concept is one that has a significant amount of potential.
Telltale's premiere season for their take on the Guardians of the Galaxy proves to be an enjoyable one, as the stellar soundtrack and combat sequences prove to be the high points of the occasionally humorous adventure. A little fine tuning from the dialogue and engine could have gone a long way, but as it is, Telltale's adaptation of the dysfunctional space family is one worth checking out for fans of the movies or comics, or those looking for a lighthearted sci-fi adventure.
Playlink doesn't get enough credit.
