Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is a lovingly crafted package that helps revive some of Lara Croft’s more unique and intriguing adventures. The visual upgrades, smoother frame rates, and modern features help make this the most accessible and polished way to revisit these adventures, and whilst the titles themselves are a little less impressive than those found across the original trilogy (especially Angel of Darkness), they’re still a lot of fun to play. The collection manages to offer a nostalgic trip that’s certainly worth taking, and whilst the games themselves might be flawed, there’s still something special about re-visiting Lara Croft’s earlier escapades in a freshly revamped form.
Cold VR has some cool ideas, but the iffy level design and unfair difficulty spikes can see it falling short when compared to similar VR titles. Whilst the stylish ‘time slows when you move’ combat does have its share of fun moments and there is plenty of variety to be found in the action, the gameplay needs a bit more polish and balancing if it hopes to stand out as a must-play virtual reality experience.
Eternal Strands delivers an enjoyable adventure thanks to its memorable world, clever magic mechanics, and exhilarating Ark battles. Don’t get me wrong, it has some imperfections and there were some elements of the melee combat that offered little you wouldn’t have already seen before, but these issues do little to hinder what is otherwise an engrossing fantasy adventure.
Tales of Graces f Remastered is a welcome update to a classic RPG that still holds up sixteen-years on from its original release. While its story and characters don’t reach the heights of the best in the series, its fast-paced and strategic combat remains a highlight. The various quality-of-life improvements make it more intuitive and accessible to play than ever before, ensuring a smoother experience for both returning fans and newcomers. If you’re looking for an entertaining, nostalgia-filled Tales adventure with excellent gameplay, this remaster is well worth diving into.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a phenomenal remaster that successfully restores the best entry in the series whilst making it more gorgeous than ever… you know… in that limb-slicing, blood-shooting-everywhere kind of way. The combat remains fast, fluid, and punishingly satisfying, whilst the visual upgrade ensures that every battle is as gorgeous as it is brutal. Admittedly, the storytelling is all over the place and the camera can be frustrating, but the sheer depth of the brilliant gameplay more than makes up for it, with Ninja Gaiden 2 Black living up to the spectacle of the original game with this wonderful remastered release.
Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn’t reinvent the wheel but still delivers an exhilarating sniping experience. The freedom to approach levels in your creative way, the excitement of the invasions, and the buzz of pulling off a kill and seeing its vicious impact with the x-ray kill cam ensures it’s always a blast to play, and whilst its familiar setting and safe design choices might not push the series forward, fans of the franchise will still find plenty to enjoy. Whether you’re a long-time sharpshooter or a newcomer to the series, Sniper Elite: Resistance offers enough variety, freedom, and thrills to keep players hooked in until those damn Nazis have been dealt with once again.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is as fun now as it was in 2010, with the banana-fuelled adventure certainly standing the test of time. It’s varied, it’s creative, and it’s challenging, but most importantly? It’s a blast to play. The controls can be a little tricky to get used to at first and it’s a little disappointing that the remastered release doesn’t offer more, but it still stands out as a wonderful platforming adventure that Nintendo fans simply have to play if they missed out on it the first time around.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is not just a return to form, but a triumphantly thrilling reinvention of the series. By combining a focused, emotionally resonant narrative with thrilling, large-scale battles and refined combat mechanics, Koei Tecmo has crafted an experience that’ll appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers. While it’s not without its shortcomings, Dynasty Warriors: Origins successfully reinvents the formula whilst maintaining the charm, excitement, and non-stop action that made it so beloved to begin with.
Lonely Mountains: Snows Riders is an absolute delight to play thanks to its addictive challenges, wonderful presentation, and brilliant gameplay loop. I’ve been completely hooked in from the moment I started playing, and with multiplayer proving to be an excellent addition to the formula that complements the more relaxing vibe of the single player experience, I can’t see me leaving these mountains anytime soon.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is simply superb, with it capturing the action, the storytelling, and the world design of the Arkham series perfectly. With its innovative and exciting combat, immersive moments that make you really feel like you are Batman, and the engaging narrative that pulls you into the life of both the Caped Crusader and Bruce Wayne, it truly stands out as one of the best Batman titles that has ever released. And you know what? I think it might be the best VR game that has ever released too.
Fantasian Neo Dimension succeeds in evoking the spirit of classic RPGs while introducing fresh ideas into a delightfully handcrafted world.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered successfully revives two classic titles that remain hallmarks of storytelling and atmospheric world design to this day. I had a lot of fun playing, whilst the narrative, voice acting, and world-building shine as brightly as ever. While the remasters don’t overhaul every aspect of each title, they do more than enough to ensure the source material stands the test of time and remains entertaining over twenty-years on. It’s all supported by improved visuals and thoughtful quality-of-life updates that genuinely make each title as enjoyable to play now as they were when they originally released, and hey, who knows… maybe this will be just what the series needs to see a REAL revival?
Among Ashes succeeds as a refreshing take on the horror genre, delivering a unique mix of psychological tension and nostalgic homage that’s a lot of fun to experience. Its crafty ‘game within a game’ structure is effectively implemented to make for some genuinely clever puzzling and storytelling, whilst the throwbacks to the 2000s (and especially MSN Messenger) kept a smile on my face when playing. And sure, it does have some small setbacks with the clumsy combat, but it still manages to offer a satisfying horror experience that’s unique, enjoyable, and – most importantly – genuinely scary.
The House of Da Vinci VR is a triumph of puzzle design in virtual reality, with its stunning visuals, clever enigmas, and immersive mechanics making it a standout title in the genre. Whilst the limited movement system is a little disappointing, it in no way overshadows the sheer ingenuity and creativity of the wonderful puzzle-solving and exquisite world design of the adventure. The House of Da Vinci VR is simply a love letter to both Leonardo da Vinci’s genius and the capabilities of virtual reality, offering a journey that is rewarding, beautiful, and simply one of the best puzzle titles that I’ve played on the Meta Quest 3.
Wall Town Wonders is delightful mixed reality experience that’s creative, charming, and full of wondrous moments that’ll put a big smile your face. Watching your town grow and seeing its tiny inhabitants interact with the player and their space always feels magical, whilst the variety of gameplay mechanics spread across the city-building and quirky mini-games all adds to the fun. It’s simply unlike anything else I’ve played before and stands out as another imaginative example of what mixed reality is capable of. And sure, it might be better suited to bite-sized play sessions as opposed to long-stretches, but the time you do spend with Wall Town Wonders is always a treat.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake succeeds in honouring one of the greatest RPGs of all time whilst making it accessible to a new generation of players. Its jaw-dropping visual upgrade, the re-recorded take on memorable music, and accessible quality-of-life updates help breathe fresh life into a beloved classic, and whilst some old-school elements such as persistent grinding and clunky menus won’t be for everyone, they don’t stop Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake from being an outstanding RPG that truly has stood the test of time.
With its slick sci-fi narrative and enjoyable tactical gameplay, Augmented Empire is still worth your time six-years on from its initial release. Sure, the gameplay can run out of steam in the later hours and it’s a shame that the world doesn’t offer more interactivity, but it still brings a beautiful cyberpunk world to uncover and some engaging strategic combat that utilises mixed reality in an immersive and entertaining fashion.
Maestro is brilliant, offering an innovative and immersive conducting experience that’s unlike any other rhythm game that I’ve played. Between its diverse and familiar soundtrack, its impressive on-stage visuals, and its clever and fitting implementation of hand-tracking, it offers an exciting and rewarding experience that will certainly help you appreciate the fine art of conducting an orchestra. Whether you’re a fan of rhythm games, a lover of classical music, or simply someone looking for something fresh to enjoy in virtual reality, Maestro is a must-play. It successfully redefines the genre, turning what might have been a niche concept into an engaging and exciting experience that will leave you waving your hands for more.
Metro Awakening succeeds in translating the Metro series to virtual reality by focusing on its strengths: immersive storytelling, atmospheric exploration, and visceral combat. While it doesn’t reinvent the formula, it adapts it thoughtfully, shedding complexity where necessary to make for an immersive and engrossing experience. The result is a game that feels both familiar and fresh – a poignant, tense, and visually stunning journey through one of gaming’s most harrowing post-apocalyptic worlds. It does have some minor flaws and can grow a little repetitive at times, but still manages to offer a captivating virtual reality experience that both long-time Metro fans and those new to the series are sure to enjoy.
