While not reinventing the wheel, LEGO Bricktales translates the beloved brick-building experience seamlessly to VR. Being able to fully examine and interact with digital Lego builds adds new engaging dimensions.
While I enjoyed exploring Mournstead and appreciate what Lords of the Fallen brings to the soulslike formula, it ultimately fails to maintain consistency throughout.
The formula remains a straightforward rail-shooter, but Gazzlers' unfaltering energy and style had me continually coming back for more crazed combat on the Gazzlers Express.
The end result is a beautiful nature documentary hindered by bloat, lacking the compelling story or lifelike ecosystem one would hope for in a next-gen realization of Pandora.
Slipstream is a beautifully crafted homage to classic '80s arcade racers like Out Run that manages to feel familiar yet fresh
For those open to thoughtful interactive fiction within virtual worlds, The Cub proves a memorable trek worth embarking on.
While its sublime visuals, engrossing puzzles and memorable boss encounters show glimpses of greatness, but inconsistent gameplay and an over reliance on excessive dialogue kinda undermine this ambitious game.
It's not a perfect game by any means - the visuals, while beautiful, are simple and they get a bit repetitive especially since the game reuses the same levels over and over as part of the story. The music, I adore synthwave, but it too gets repetitive. But man, that arcade-style brawling just feels so good that I was willing to look past those flaws. If you're feeling nostalgic for those 16-bit brawlers, Agent 70 is here to deliver the digital beatdown.
Throught this review, I use the word "OK" to describe a lot of the elements of Journey To Foundation and that's it, this game is just OK.
Rocksteady clearly cares for these characters and world, but the open-world and looter shooter conventions chosen don't serve the story or gameplay well. It might eventually get better, but who knows?
While not revolutionary from a gaming standpoint and has a fair amount of jank, The Grand Getaway is a true success in translating what makes Wallace and Gromit so special to the interactive virtual medium.
Penny's Big Breakaway is at its best when movement feels crisp and levels showcase Evening Star's knack for balancing complexity and flow. But frustrating challenges and technical hiccups weigh things down.
Faithful to its roots while introducing quality of life tweaks, Contra: Operation Galuga offers accessible and rewarding gameplay for series veterans and newcomers alike looking for retro shooting fun.
Although the performance of the two main actors is bad, the setting, the story, the weird gorgeous locations you get to visit and the gameplay make it worth your time and money.
I still like that this Master Collection exists, despite its flaws. It's definitely a time-capsule and if you are hungry to experience the brilliant stealth-action saga on modern consoles, you will find much to love. But you still have to remember that this is just a re-release and what was good back then in terms of controls, might feel rather alien nowadays.
The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners - Chapter 2 serves up satisfying zombie combat within New Orleans. However, it represents a missed opportunity to showcase improved visuals and AI on Quest 3 hardware. If you loved the first game, will find reward in returning for its gameplay loop, but this entry does little to advance what was established before.
Edge of Eternity is an ambitious JRPG from a small French indie studio. While it gets the story right and has a visually appealing world, subpar and unbalanced gameplay drag it down.
While the gunplay and abilities are fun and it looks absolutely stunning no matter what's happening on screen, I wish there was more to Bright Memory: Infinite and as such, it's tough to recommend to anyone.
The Company Man is a simple action sidescroller. Yes, you’ve probably played better games like this one, but the gorgeous art style and the whole corporate satire, make it somewhat stand out.
OmegaBot is an old-school-inspired action side-scroller that doesn't really scratch that itch.
