Oh...Sir! The Hollywood Roast is an amazing game if you're looking for a good laugh and to lose a few hours. Roasting spoofs of celebrities and crushing their soul could be one of the most satisfying feelings I've had for $3.99.
RiME is a extraordinary game with smooth platforming, amazing graphics, and one of the most heart wrenching stories in gaming.
Overall, the game is fun and can be addictive. Its simple gameplay makes it very easy to pick up and play. I feel that it can be satisfying for those who like a good challenge and just keep at it. It’s also a nice escape for those kinds of gamers who just want to mix it up.
Overall, this is a solid game that I, personally, will keep playing well past the date on this article. I’d highly recommend it for anyone who wants a couch or online co-op game to play with a few friends and talk some smack.
Captain Kaon is the epitome of meh. With awful controls, this can be an endearing nostalgia trip for some.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A fantastic puzzle/first person shooter for the PSVR with minor issues.
Yonder is an awesome, stress free gaming experience. Just don't expect it to blow your hair back.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
