SuperHot VR is one of the best games VR has seen yet.
A lot of what I’ve just written may sound like I didn’t enjoy Let It Die that much, but no, I did enjoy it quite a lot indeed.
Perfect doesn’t do a lot — but what it does is executed very well.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 shows its age visually, but is still as fun to play now as it was in 2011.
Drive!Drive!Drive! has the heart of a great arcade racer, but isn’t quite there yet.
Pinball is fun no matter which way you play it.
The Little Acre has a lot of heart, presenting a one-of-a-kind magical tale that rivals Disney/Pixar.
It can be hard to find a good entry point for virtual reality gaming when some titles are quite complex and others feel like the VR component is unnecessary.
Rad Rodgers: Volume One is a short, but sweet platforming romp.
Crystal Rift might keep players exploring for a while, but it feels like a prototype for a better game which doesn’t yet exist.
Steep is not a perfect game.
OneShot makes players question the reality that surrounds them.
The Last Guardian is Team ICO's magnum opus.
Fans can rest assured, Dead Rising 4 is still a Dead Rising game despite some controversial decisions.
How We Soar is greater than the sum of its parts and is an incredible experience that should be played by all PlayStation VR owners.
Digital pinball can’t replace real pinball, but it does an excellent job of approximating it.
After ten long years of development, Final Fantasy XV ends up being more style than substance.
While the game concept and interaction methods are simple, Bounce has some heft to it. Fifty discrete levels that can be solved in ridiculous ways gives it quite a bit of staying power. The only limit is how over the top the player wants to be with the tools on hand. Anyone looking for a solid puzzler in VR will have a great time with Bounce.
Had it not been for its plagued release on PC — not to mention the niggling texture work that pops up from time to time — Dishonored 2 just might have been in strong contention for best game this year.
Pokémon has been a classic series for twenty years and with 2016 being its 20th, Pokémon Sun and Moon is a perfect way to celebrate such a milestone. It still holds all the charm and fun from the original titles yet creates an entire new world to explore. It’s a must-have for fans and a worthy place to begin for newcomers. The future of the Pokémon series shines bright like Pokémon Sun and beautiful like Pokémon Moon.
