The combat can get repetitive, the jumping is awful, and the difficulty ranges from extremely easy to extremely hard. Despite these faults there is still plenty enjoyment to be had in the game, along with a jenesequa that kept me trying again and again.
The Little Acre is a charming and beautiful point and click adventure game that is perfect for older gamers like me and those with kids as well.
For all the time I spent enjoying the Dwarves, there was equal amounts of frustration, boredom and disappointment.
Square Enix Montreal continues to do an excellent job of translating their mobile GO games to console. Lara Croft GO has even better gameplay than Hitman GO did and it’s jam packed with content thanks to the PlayStation exclusive expansion. Lara Croft GO takes some of the best things about the Tomb Raider franchise and turns it into a great puzzle game worthy of anyone’s time.
Silence stayed true to its name with a quiet release and little fanfare heading into December. It ended up being one of my most memorable and enjoyable games of the entire year.
I can say that Penny Black Studios has crafted a beautiful, relaxing PlayStation VR experience in How We Soar. The game is built on an interesting idea that is relaxing under every layer that you unfold. Controls, gameplay, art style, and soundtrack all come together to form one of my favorite PlayStation VR games to date.
By the end of the game I was glad I got to experience Demetrios: The Big Cynical Adventure. It’s a fun point-and-click adventure game full of humor.
Darksiders: Warmastered Edition is an example of a remaster done right. It’s priced right, offers some meaningful technical improvements.
Whether alone or with a friend, getting to play as these five different animals in these vibrant worlds complimented by a fantastic soundtrack is different enough to warrant a purchase. Hopefully this is just the beginning of great things to come from the Good Mood Creators.
Final Fantasy XV wasn't a bad game, but after all that hype, and being a first time player, I was disappointed with what was offered. There's many features about the game that I can praise like the combat and dialogue, but there's those negatives that makes it a disappointing first experience. I feel this is going to be a game with very mixed opinions, and I'm sure there's many playing it early who think it's a great game, but for me personally, this was a good yet disappointing game.
It really seemed like Super Dungeon Bros was going to turn out well but it just wasn't to be. While patches could fix some of the technical issues such as the long loads or the bugs and glitches they probably won't fix the overly boring and simple gameplay. The fact that it's too difficult to play solo and the lack of an online community is going to hurt it as well. If you want a fun co-op romp for you and your friends then you are better off not introducing your bros to the Super Dungeon Bros.
Secret Sorcery has crafted a magical adventure in Tethered that is an absolute must play if you have a PlayStation VR.
The narrative and characters here are some of the funniest of any recent game I’ve played and the challenge of having to perform all of these normal day to day routines in a new and innovative way was fun as well. If you’ve played and enjoyed other games with challenging and different control schemes such as Octodad or others then you will feel right at home playing Manual Samuel.
Robinson: The Journey is absolutely a journey worth going on if you have a PlayStation VR. It’s one of if not the best looking games on the platform right now as well as one of the lengthiest.
Watch Dogs 2 is better than the original Watch Dogs, I want to make that clear first as many people are probably wondering that. I enjoyed the story, the characters, and the location which is something I did not like in the first Watch Dogs game so everything better in Watch Dogs 2 after was all a bonus. Lets not sugarcoat it though, . It’s not what Assassin’s Creed II was to Assassin’s Creed, but it’s an improvement. Watch Dogs 2 still has it’s technical issues, A.I issues, and at times repetitive mission that brings the overall score down, but overall Watch Dogs 2 is definitely worth your time and trust that Watch Dogs might have killed.
If you have friends or family to play this with it is a must buy for the PlayStation VR.
Small Radios Big Televisions is a different kind of experience for sure and it isn't for everyone. If you like adventure games with challenge this isn't for you and if you like games with clear stories this isn't for you either. If you want a point-and-click adventure game that is easy to get through with a wonderful, soothing soundtrack than you should give Small Radios Big Televisions a shot.
Dishonored 2 is a fantastic entry to the series, and made me an even bigger fan of the extremely talented Arkane Studios who developed both games in this amazing series. If you were a fan of Dishonored, then you are going to be a big fan of Dishonored 2 as well.
Social VR is something I was really excited about leading up to the PlayStation VR launch and after playing SportsBar VR It’s easy to see why. Just being in the same virtual environment with other players and able to play things, chat, and just goof off makes this one of the most fun VR experiences on the platform right now. It has it’s issues as it can get old after awhile and the others games besides pool aren’t as fun. The technical issues and random disconnects hurt it a bit for me but with more free content updates coming in the future I’m excited to come back to this bar again.
The wall running in the single player campaign was just too much for my taste, but other than that I really enjoy playing it, this is just a really solid game. What do you think, too low, too high? As always feel free to leave us your thoughts in the comments.
