VR Skater offers an insanely tough learning curve, but offers a very rewarding experience if you tough it out. While the content is a little lacking for the price tag, the promised post launch content could very well set it over the top.
Despite it's issues, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is easily a highlight of the franchise's modern era. It's simple, yet addictive combat, impressive animation and replay value makes it among the best Double Dragon games we've had in decades.
Skull and Bones has all the ingredients to be a great game but it falls short due to its soulless story mode. While the game's naval combat mechanics are top-notch and provide an immersive experience, the lack of a compelling narrative leaves players feeling un-engaged and unmotivated.
