Untitled Goose Game starts with an interesting premise: Stealth your way through town like you are Solid Goose and then annoy people in specific ways to cross out pranks from your to-do list.
This western RPG is truly out of this world. It’s perhaps the single most enjoyable game of its kind and succeeded were similar games have failed: to keep me hooked until the very end. It looks great, sounds fantastic and the writing had me grinning from ear to ear. If this is a forebode of things to come for Obisidian Entertainment: they now have my attention.
It doesn’t do anything to stand out and rather just does things that make me want to recommend you pick up one of the many other twin-stick shooters out there.
If you enjoy games with twisted worlds and dark aesthetics then Tamashii is a game for you.
Strainium Immortaly is a bit of a mixed bag to me as it has a lot of things I like but also some things that make it feel a little unfair.
I would still recommend a playthrough for fans of the genre, but set your expectations accordingly.
Overall this game is a huge step in the right direction for VR, and in my eyes is a must-play for any VR gamer who enjoys a story-driven puzzle adventure.
The Universal Monsters Pack for Pinball FX3 is fun but with it only offering two tables it’s not one I would recommend to rush out and buy.
The Williams Pinball Pack Volume 5 is another great set of additions to the overall Pinball FX3 experience.
Demon Pit works well as a game but just doesn’t offer much to players outside of just being an arena shooter.
Demons with Shotguns will make a good addition to any player’s library who is a fan of local competitive multiplayer titles. If you’re a solo player though I can’t recommend it based only on the End of Times mode. If the game had bot support for the other modes it would help but sadly it doesn’t. The variety of modes and tarot card system makes this a worthwhile purchase to those with the local friends to play it with though.
AVICII Invector is an amazing rhythm game with a killer soundtrack and eye-popping visuals.
Despite some repetitive side quests Cardpocalypse is a great little card RPG. The 90’s nostalgia that it oozes with really played to my liking and the card designs and gameplay along with the writing kept me playing to completion. I think you’ll get the most enjoyment out of it if you were around in that decade like me but if you weren’t there is still a lot to like here. It’s for sure one of the most charming apocalypses you’ll experience.
For fans of local multiplayer games like I am you’ll probably find enjoyment in Tools Up! especially if you’re a fan of Overcooked. I highly recommend you only get this if you have others to play with though as it just isn’t as fun playing solo.
Story of a Gladiator might not be remembered like the classics it was inspired by but it’s a pretty good beat-’em-up in its own right. The combat is smooth and responsive and it’s fun to level up your character and use new weapons and abilities to smash apart enemy gladiators. It does get to be a bit grindy at times and has some visual hiccups but if you can look past that you’ll enjoy this trip to the arena.
VR Ping Pong Pro is a big step up over the original game visually but the physics still not feeling right make it hard to give this one a sure fire recommendation to. You’re also going to be stuck mostly playing against the CPU as no one is really playing it online right now. Hopefully some patches can come along to make the game feel better to play but for now approach this one with caution.
Narcos: Rise of the Cartel is a solid turn-based strategy title that fans of the show and fans of the genre in general will enjoy.
Even once I finished it I was still wishing there was more to do and that should be endorsement enough.
Just Dance 2020 has one of the best tracklists yet, amazing choreographies and flat-out stunning animations for both the dancers and the backgrounds. You don’t have to look much further if you’re searching for the perfect party game. You’d be hard-pressed not to have a great time with this game.
If you can look past the gameplay problems you can easily get a couple different playthroughs in with this unlucky blacksmith.
