A mildly fun multiplayer experience at best, and a flawed, derivative dungeon crawler at worst. Good for some fun with friends in short bursts, but has a knack for growing old rather quickly, especially when venturing out solo.
Minecraft: Story Mode - The Complete Adventure offers a couple of thrills and some likable characters, lost in the midst of subpar gameplay and an uninvolving story. A missed opportunity to create a great new Minecraft spinoff experience.
Dishonored 2 is bigger and better than its forbearer, with greater variety of level design and even more flexible gameplay. It is a shame the central narrative isn’t more engaging and that the sequel is haunted by technical deficiencies.
Watch Dogs 2 takes a different thematic approach to the hacking culture, opting for a very laid back attitude that you may or may not enjoy, and offering a number of gameplay alterations of similarly variable quality.
Tyranny is a good game, but not a great one. In a year that's been light on RPGs, it's a solid offering worth picking up, but don't expect it to be as good as Pillars of Eternity.
Paper Mario: Color Splash makes some mistakes that prevent it from being one of the iconic plumber’s best role-playing outings, but its level of creativity, wit, and overall charm is irresistible, resulting in a very entertaining time.
With an amazing space campaign and a frenetic Zombies mode, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is worth the fuel needed to reach orbit.
Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence - Ascension offers a more accessible approach than its predecessor, while bringing its historical chops and in-depth 4X mechanics to the forefront to make for an engaging experience.
Hitman: Season 1 isn’t bad, but it is unremarkable. 47 is back, but the game doesn’t provide enough reasons for why anyone should care.
Civilization VI offers a variety of changes that significantly alter the way this long-running strategy franchise plays, but some notable issues - chief among them is the poor AI - prevent it from reaching greatness.
Titanfall 2 is a great sequel that expands on the strengths of the original, while adding a surprisingly well crafted singleplayer campaign.
Thumper is a well designed game that's more focused on challenging the players than providing a musical experience. If you're wanting to test your pure reaction times, look no further.
Battlezone does an okay job of rebooting the original arcade game, but the end result of a randomly generated roguelike experience doesn't really satisfy. One of the most expensive PS VR launch titles, for no good reason.
Though Mafia III has a strong story, great setting and some satisfying mechanics, the mind-numbing repetition and technical issues make it a letdown compared to its predecessors.
RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is an all-around good game that’s a highlight of the PlayStation VR launch lineup, and a fun and surprisingly deep experience in its own right.
The McDonalds ball pit of first-person shooters: disorganized, colourful, daft, and a surprisingly good time considering its limited avenues of entertainment. Shadow Warrior 2 is well worth your attention.
With open maps and confronting action, Battlefield 1 is a stable, balanced and exhilarating multiplayer shooter.
The collection of games in PlayStation VR Worlds will satisfy, if itls your very first PS VR experience, but you'll soon realize that there are already better alternatives out there.
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is an engaging and entertaining horror launch title for the PlayStation VR.
Tumble VR is a very solid physics puzzle game that takes a simple concept and makes it both entertaining and challenging.
