Bilkins' Folly is a lovely game with loads of rewarding puzzles to figure out but being able to progress is often an overly taxing affair.
I loved A Tiny Sticker Tale way more than I thought I would thanks to its distinct gameplay, clever scenarios, and adorable world.
I had a lot of fun with Shy Cats Hidden Orchestra and it's a silly game to play on the TV with friends so you can all find cats together.
I unashamedly love Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs and would easily recommend it to any PSVR2 owner thanks to its super-fun gameplay.
If its gameplay was more fine-tuned, Paperman: Adventure Delivered could have been a great throwback to PS2-era platformers.
Detective Pikachu Returns is definitely adorable in this Switch debut although the required deduction skills to solve its cases remain at an incredibly low bar to clear which made it hard to hold my attention for very long.
Throwing yourself around the complex levels of TOSS! is a great deal of fun but be careful because you can easily hurt your arms.
The combat of RUINSMAGUS: COMPLETE doesn't offer much satisfaction but hanging out in its town is nothing short of delightful.
I wish that Project Wingman: Frontline 59 took a more arcade-like approach to its VR implementation because it feels needlessly limiting.
Crossfire: Sierra Squad is a solid albeit standard military shooter that straddles the line between realistic and arcade a little too safely.
I thoroughly enjoyed the simple action of GAZZLERS with its fun upgrades and roguelike structure but it's ultimately very repetitive.
If you're in the mood for an abstract fast-paced puzzle-filled boss-slaying adventure then you really can't do much better than Cocoon.
Besides a few new unit types and a nifty mode, Wargroove 2 is more of the same but when the core formula is this fun, that's great.
As one of the weirdest games I've ever played, Everhood: Eternity Edition stands tall as a unique and challenging reverse rhythm game.
I love arcade-like games and Pizza Possum is the most refreshing and unique title in the genre that I've played in a very long time.
TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4: Bush Rescue Returns may be a step down from its 3D roots but what's here is still rather enjoyable.
It's true that Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace improves upon the original but this buggy port makes it pretty much just as fun.
Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos is a surprising return to what made the earlier titles special and it feels like Natsume is putting some much-needed attention into fleshing-out the series. With its focus on exploration and a huge world to traverse, tons of items to find, and a variety of animals to nurture as well as solid farming, mining, and fishing; there's a lot of fun to be had with this instalment.
Paleo Pines is a cute sim that focuses more on collecting and exploring than it does farming and its large selection of dinos to befriend are totes adorbs. Amassing a collection of dino pals is rewarding and a lot of things are done well but it just doesn't do enough to keep players hooked like similar games do. Here's hoping the developers take what works and really run with them in their next game.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is one of my favourite action games of the year thanks to its epic combat and character growth opportunities that come together to make each battle feel personalised. It may start out slow but holy hot darn, do things escalate!
