All in all, this is a title that was most likely meant for VR only but made a standard version to appeal to a wider audience. While it’s fun, it just doesn’t adapt well outside of VR.
This game is worth it for the sniping alone. It really does feel amazing to get those long range kills and have the whole game go slow motion as you follow the bullet through the target (similar to the more recent Mortal Kombat games).
There are some speed bumps along the way that prevent this game from being truly amazing, but for what it is I am thoroughly enjoying my time with it.
Dare I say, Trover might be the best game to experience in VR, only to be rivaled by Sony Interactive Entertainment’s phenomenal Astro Bot: Rescue Mission
Honestly, this remake is far, FAR better than I thought it ever could be. The amount of love and care thrown in is unparalleled.
I found its stronger aspects to be memorable and well-presented. I can appreciate the personal nature of this game, as the creators obviously poured themselves into it, but this is definitely a title that has a very specific appeal.
Madden 20 has a lot to offer gameplay wise. The game itself looks and plays the best it ever has. The presentation and commentary of the game is comparable to real NFL games, from the announce team to the halftime show. The only real problem with the gameplay is the occasional animation whiff. The game modes are lacking though; while fun, there are only three of them, which would be fine if they were jam packed with a variety of things to do.
Regardless of a few technical issues, Blair Witch is a good time. The game starts off slow with a not so strong story to boot, but once you hunker down and drive through, the game turns into an anxious, dimly lit, digital embodiment of claustrophobia that every horror game fan should experience for themselves.
Creature in the Well, while not perfect, is a gem in today’s market. It is a short, yet refreshing experience that everyone can find some joy in.
Bottom line, the game is not perfect, but it is FUN! It is everything that anyone could want from a Borderlands game, and somehow even more Borderlandsier (word).
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is a tactical shooter with arcade elements that brandishes a new look, the looter-shooter. Though the game could stand on its own without that element, it at least doesn’t take away from the core gameplay.
What his come does to is, do you like the 80s, do you like mutant humor ala TMNT, and do you love rogue like games. If so, this game could give you a few hours of fun.
If I wasn’t a fan of Yooka-Laylee before, Playtonic has converted me. If they continue to deliver experiences like these, I’m all in for Yooka-Laylee. Playtonic has done a fantastic job here.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III is a wonderful game. None of the bad parts combined would ever hold a candle to the sheer amount of joy and fun I had exploring every single corner of this world.
My time with Little Town Hero was one that I have been anticipating for months, and it did not disappoint.
Concrete Genie is a welcome addition to the PlayStation family of games and stands out among its bigger action-oriented contemporaries.
While being rough around the edges, I personally think that the core gameplay is extremely fun, and the game gives you good enough reason to see it through to the end.
Though occasionally frustrating, Outer Wilds presents a unique experience to explore a world with few limitations.
If you’re going to play this game, I’d recommend simply trying the free mobile version out and making your decision based on that. It’s much better suited for that platform, anyhow. But I cannot personally recommend it on Switch, especially at its current price. With a bland and predictable story, poor presentation, and gameplay that just feels like nothing.
A very faithful remake.
