The controls in Paint the Town Red VR are intuitive and the most important settings are present, such as adjusting the height for seated players. The entire game is a very smooth experience on the PSVR2. A fun fact is that the music was composed by BAFTA award-winning Jeff Van Dyck. The game does not do anything innovative, but it does manage to offer a lot of content and possibilities to the player. The simple combat system and visual style will not be for everyone and the two tens of euros therefore feel quite pricey. But if you want to release your aggression for half an hour every now and then, this is the game for you!

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a title that evokes mixed feelings. At times the game excels for its action and humor, but it also struggles with the challenges of its 'game as a service' model. The constant repetition of the same missions and the push for daily assignments can become quite frustrating at a certain point. The biggest frustration, however, is the wasted potential. It's clear that a linear single-player game is much more suitable for Suicide Squad. Rocksteady's attempt to get players to grind for better weapons and gear just isn't fun enough.

Bahnsen Knights is a game in which you have to maintain concentration more than ever. If you don't do that, death will soon be near and you will soon no longer follow the storyline. However, even if you skip all the dialogues, you will notice that you can still find a way through the conversations, even though that defeats the entire purpose of the game. The choices are not really very deep, and you can quickly do a retry and choose the next choice. However; If you keep your mind on it, the story of this game is quite interesting. I was through it in just over an hour and the credits were already rolling by. In addition, I did not really enjoy the gameplay of the game (i.e. the mini-games).

The cool visual design can't stop Life of Delta from being a mediocre point and click adventure game. The interaction is very clumsy on the Playstation 5. Moving the cursor is normally too slow, but it is not precise enough for the many puzzles. The simple interactions and minimal choice of objects you have to use ensure that you don't have to think too long about the puzzles. The price of twenty euros is therefore on the high side and Life of Delta needs more than a nice presentation to make the purchase worthwhile.

Overpass 2 is a game that does no more than an average racing game. The different ways of riding over the different terrains are the most groundbreaking, unique factor. You don't have to expect much in terms of content. Besides the career mode, you have actually seen most of it quite quickly. And even the career mode is not very special and extensive. To be honest, Overpass 2 is still a fairly rough diamond that still needs some polishing, especially in terms of AI and perhaps also the number of tracks that are available. These become quite repetitive after a while. Overpass 2 is certainly not a bad game, but it doesn't really excel in anything either. The genre must really appeal to you if you want to get this game as quickly as possible.

Gastro Force is a fairly simplistic shooter. The game offers a mix of combinations of various shooters, including Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM. The claustrophobic feel comes from Wolfenstein and the monsters and graphics seem to lean more towards DOOM. The gameplay itself is largely the same, although here you have quite large levels and you can open a map with which you can immediately see which direction you should go. The secret rooms, the key cards, they are all well-known components. It is clear that the game costs less than 10 Euro and that is certainly not too much for what you get. However, the game does not do anything special, so you will certainly not be blown away in terms of creativity. In addition, the game lacks refinement in terms of controls and gameplay, which means the game does not score more than adequate.

The Past Within is a fun co-op game that is really fun, and that is mainly due to the unique gameplay. Graphically it is not very high, but the difference between 2D and 3D of the Past and the Future just does its job. Especially fans of Rusty Lake's previous games will immediately recognize the style. Although not all puzzles are equally brilliant, it is still fun to solve them together. Do you have an hour or two of free time left and would you like to do your own escape room on the couch with a friend? Then get The Past Within for a few euros and start puzzling quickly!

The biggest drawback is the price tag of fourteen euros. Ten games seems quite a lot at first, but they are still arcade games. These are games that are therefore often very difficult or very short. For this price you do not get the best experience, mainly due to the different resolutions and the fact that they are less suitable for handhelds. You will encounter a lot of black bars and they are games that have not been improved for the platform. It is a collection that is interesting if you are sure that there are several games that you would like to spend some more time on. Taito Milestones 2 is a collection that is technically well put together, bundles various genres and provides access to several classics for the enthusiast who knows them.

After about 2 hours when the credits come, you can only really judge whether Varney Lake has been worth it and the 10 Euro rolls out of your pocket or whether you give a lot for that money in return. As far as I'm concerned, the story is a lot more accessible and interesting than that of Mothmen and I think casual players will find this game better than its predecessor. Although there are references, you do not necessarily have to have played the first part. However, there are fewer options that really influence the story.

The Top Racer Collection is a neat collection of the first three Top Racer games and an addition of a new game. It preserves the original games quite well and includes a wonderful soundtrack. The new menus fit less with the style of the games, but the gameplay is still fun to pick up. The improvements are minimal, but with the addition of online multiplayer this makes the game more future-proof. The collection is two tens of euros and that feels quite pricey, but if you come across the game in a sale then I would definitely give this collection a chance.

Dead Man's Diary is a game that is well put together in concept and has the potential to be a great title. In terms of atmosphere, it works and everything feels oppressive, partly because you are often threatened by enemies, but practically never encounter them in the first hours. The bombastic sounds contribute to this. For example, the bear that is constantly on your heels, but you will hardly ever see, regularly causes you to break out in a sweat. The scary moments occur regularly, especially in the beginning. This is not a game like Fallout, where you can take out your arsenal and have a blast. Action is virtually non-existent. The puzzles, including fixing the electricity panels, lock picking and cracking safes, are fun and sometimes quite deep in that regard. However, the game also has its serious flaws, such as the lack of variation in the environments and certain components that are less developed, including the voice casting, overly complex controls (the use of R1 when switching inventory is unnecessarily cumbersome) and the changing graphics. Dead Man's Diary contains an excellent game, but unfortunately it is not quite that in the end. However, give it a chance, and you will be several hours and chapters further, with the necessary excitement!

The upbeat music, colorful levels, and cute characters can give players the wrong impression of what they're in for. The game contains a large number of areas, levels and items to collect and you will have to collect them all to unlock all the levels. Unfortunately there is a big but. The game quickly becomes frustratingly difficult and you regularly have to replay large parts of the levels to find all the collectibles. The game seems to focus on the target group that grew up with these Nintendo 64 and Playstation 1 platformers. Raccoo Venture is really not child's play and that is a missed opportunity.

The expansion is therefore not the right start for a new player. As a new player, it is best to just start with the basic game. This is an expansion aimed at players who have completed the basic game completely. This way you can take all your characters with you and it feels less like you're getting a generic start. You understand how all the systems work and the main story of Tales of Arise is wonderfully epic. Beyond the Dawn has little added value, except to extend the playing time a little more.

After about 7 hours of playing you will have reached the end of the game and actually after about 2 hours you will notice that the monotony and flat gameplay starts to seem quite the same. The level design is quite nice here and there, but you are actually constantly jumping, dashing and shooting. The latter in particular starts to get really annoying at a certain point. Do not get me wrong; The Smurfs 2 is certainly not a bad game, and may be quite challenging for real young people to master, but otherwise it plays well and doesn't do anything terribly wrong.

The concept may be clear; That's too simple for words. Graphically and audio-wise, the game doesn't really know which direction it wants to go. Objects are sharp, yet angular. Bars, for example, is round, but you still see straight shapes, so it does not look round. Floors look blurry, but still quite superficial. Light should provide extra details, but the color transitions do not. The same can also be said in terms of audio. You hear sounds, but what is it actually? Music? Or simply some sound effects? The game lacks a bit of direction on every level. The depth could also have been better. This platformer just doesn't cut it in that regard. It is actually a great game offline and online, with which you can get quite a few hours of entertainment. However, it never really becomes very interesting, so the game does not score much more than adequate.

Fortunately, the combat is fun enough to keep the whole story interesting, but for the rest it is not all. Outside of the Sigils, the loot isn't interesting with just increasing some percentages. The graphics are fine, but you can expect a lot more from a game that uses the Unreal 5 Engine.

Bright colors and a cartoonish style give it the typical Crash atmosphere and the music also makes you very happy. But this is not enough to keep players interested for a long time. Developer Toys for Bob is currently working on the first season of the game and that will bring more content.

All in all, I had fun with this game. The first hours are quite addictive and you actually want to constantly try to improve your previous round. Collecting in-game scrap is too slow and you are only really rewarded when you manage to complete a level. So if you get stuck at a certain point, you will hang around in the same boat for quite a while, so that at some point you will start to lose motivation. However, the challenge is not so great that it becomes demotivating and you don't get any further. In addition, after about 5 hours you have seen the gameplay mechanics, however simplistic they may be. It is therefore a wonder that people manage to keep you busy for such a long time with just one button in terms of basic control.

Men of War 2 offers many hours of fun and you can unlock a huge amount of units. The game contains a large number of modes for single-player RTS players and this is a game that you can easily purchase without ever touching the multiplayer. The battles feel impactful and the direct control provides a breath of fresh air compared to many other RTS titles. It is such a shame to see that the interface, always online and the average AI mainly get in the way of the game. But in recent days the game has already received a large number of updates and I hope that the developer will continue to support the game and that the game can last another ten years without any problems.

The game has been out for other platforms for a while, but gets a PSVR2 option for the Playstation 5 version and this makes a bigger difference than you might originally think. While the 2D version is a lot more difficult to understand and keep an overview, the PSVR2 option makes the game a lot clearer. You are in the middle of your tower and with the two layers you have a lot of depth in the different levels. It doesn't happen often, but this is a game that is really much better in VR. This is a game for Atari and Minter fans and players who are interested in the history of this game. It's great to discover old prototypes and make them accessible to many people. You will quickly notice why this game remained a prototype and did not reach the arcades in the eighties.
