Overall I cannot recommend this game. If it had a much bigger online player base it may be a little different. It does have some fun customizations and ways to celebrate you kicking ass by posing over your victim’s dead body, I don’t feel that it’s enough to pull player base from more competitive games.
Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 doesn't change the gameplay formula too much, but adds a massive open world to explore and tons of characters to unlock and use. The story and humor add to the fun.
Elex is a game that may frustrate you the way it did to me. You'll know the game is so much better than it seems when you run into issues. The story is amazing and the gameplay can use some work, but that is fixable. For those gamers that are interested in Elex, I do not want to sway your purchase, it has its high points. You may though, want to wait for a major patch to release to fix some of the minor things and balancing. I personally am hopefully looking forward to the future of Elex. They have a great world, an amazing story, and I hope that this becomes a sleeper hit after a patch to clean up some of the game. RPG fans should keep an eye out for this title.
Battle Chasers: Night War has tons for players to experience. The game has a complex and strategic battle system with beautiful comic book art, with its only downfall being a cliché story. Battle Chasers is a rewarding and fun romp through a usually stale turn-based RPG genre. Every time I quit the game I would spend time just daydreaming about what lay in the next dungeon. Battle Chasers will definitely be in my Game of the Year considerations.
Sine Mora EX is an amazing shmup! The story and presentation should be welcoming to newcomers of the genre. Shmup veterans will love the additional modes and the fun ranking system in the arcade mode. Being available on all consoles, including the Switch. I would recommend getting Sine Mora EX in your library!
The Legendary Edition offers a lot of bells and whistles to a hard-hitting combination of football and chess. Alas, every part of the game lacks substance or the competitive fire to keep players coming back for more. A competitive multiplayer platform lends more replay value, but not much.
X-Morph: Defense was a blast to play. I never ran into any issues gameplay wise and never ran into really wanting something more. It was a fast-paced, bullet hell, tower defense, and enjoyed my time with the game. I would definitely recommend people keep an eye out for this game, especially fans of tower defenses. They add some great elements into the genre to keep it fresh and desirable!
Thunder Lotus Games absolutely destroys the genre of action platformers, other developers should take notes. This is how they should be made. Sundered should be on your list for purchase in the future if you haven't already. If it hits the Steam sale, please take full advantage of the deal. There is no way you can go wrong picking this game up.
Last Day of June is a unique and beautiful tale of joy, tragedy, and the will to save the one you love. The gameplay may be too simple for some, but I recommend Last Day of June for anyone who wants to experience an emotional story with beautiful art design.
Black Desert Online is a solid MMORPG choice, especially for the price. The skill based attacks opens up the game for some beautiful fights and needed challenge.
Yonder is an awesome, stress free gaming experience. Just don't expect it to blow your hair back.
A fantastic puzzle/first person shooter for the PSVR with minor issues.
Super Cloudbuilt is a very fun and beautiful platformer. The gameplay is really fun and gamers will no doubt enjoy the massive levels and multiple paths you can take while free running to your destination. There are little things like personal checkpoints and different control schemes that make this accessible to all kinds of gamers.
MotoGP 17 is a game for racing fanatics. Casual gamers may not like the difficulty and the lack of character in the game. But those who love customization and a realistic racing experience will not go wrong with this title. If you ever wanted to see what it takes to race in the MotoGP world, then give this game a shot.
Redeemer is solid. The gameplay is amazing and rewards you with awesome moves and gore if you can get creative with your fighting tactics. Everything about this game is epic and gritty which makes that redemption oh so sweeter. Give it a shot, at $14.99 on Steam (currently on sale at the writing of this article at $12.74) it really is worth your attention.
Drifting Lands should be on the radar for any shmup fan, with the addition of the action RPG elements it adds great replay value and pull in non shmup fans. The grind for loot will grab you and you'll want to spend hours getting your ship calibrated to the way you play. I'm not sure if I can look at shmup games the same way again after Drifting Lands.
Overall, Star Trek Bridge Crew is a solid experience. A couple of small details to maybe work on but these can easily be addressed in future updates. The Co-Op is fun and better then the single player missions, but single player as well as the tutorial allows you time to get used to the somewhat complex controls and help not make you look like a total newb when going into the real thing with other people online.
Ancient Amuletor feels like a great and fresh game concept that suffers from a lack of overall length and customizations. The game could have been so much better with a little extra effort by its developer. At the $20 price point the game is currently commanding, it’s very difficult to recommend such a short game to PSVR players. The only exception is if it benefits from either a price drop or free DLC in the future. I had fun with this game though, and hope to see more like it, and possibly a sequel that builds on its concept, in the future.
The Lightning Kingdom comes to it may be worth a play on your backlog but I'd wait for a sale or if you have nothing else you feel like playing but want an okay RPG to fill the void.
I believe Quarantine isn't going to be for everyone, but it is a good turn based strategy with some intense moments. Especially with the whole world depending on you to manage this outbreak enough to save everyone. At $9.99 it is a fair price but waiting on a sale could help with the current shortness of six scenarios.
