Airheart: Takes of Broken Wings is an enjoyable twin-stick shooter if you are looking for a colorful grind through the skies.
If you're on the fence with this one, you won't miss anything should you choose to pass.
Archangel: Hellfire may be exactly up your alley if you're looking for a pick-up-and-play VR shooter.
Overall, Semblance is a decent puzzle platformer with a unique take on the platforming portion of the genre.
A VR Tempest experience is a logical progression for the game that wouldn't fundamentally change the core nature of the game but it sure would enhance its trippiness.
Controls aside, this might be one of the first collections I've acquired in a long time where I'm almost compelled to finish every game. If you've no experience with the X series, or if you missed out on a lot of these titles, the Mega Man X Legacy Collections are a terrific investment.
For those who enjoy card battlers, you may find something to enjoy with Insane Robots, but if you're looking for a little more depth, you may want to look elsewhere.
Bomber Crew is the rare game that combines many of the things I personally enjoy, but that doesn't mean it's without its faults.
As a game, The Mooseman falters, but its atmosphere, tone, and storytelling all take huge strides to make up for the lacklustre gameplay. All-in-all, it's certainly not bad, and I don't feel guilty recommending it.
Similar to some of Telltale's adventure games, The Lion's Song lacks in many gameplay aspects but is mitigated by the fact that your narrative choices do matter.
The Path of Motus is pretty to look at and has some good ideas, but it fails in its execution throughout, its story too simplistic for adults, and its gameplay too difficult for children.
Overall, I will have to say that Runbow has impressed me with its gameplay and simplicity, and all I need now are more friends to play video games with.
Mothergunship is a skillfully molded combination of first-person shooter and bullet hell that exudes chaos with over the top, larger than life weapons and fast-paced action.
The most frustrating thing about Earthfall is that it squanders its potential at every turn.
Danger Zone 2 is a strong sequel to Danger Zone.
Aside from those differences, the game… is basically Terraria. Unfortunately, the game doesn't have the massive variety and polish of Terraria's crafting system, doesn't have the interesting biomes of Terraria, doesn't have the crazy enemies of Terraria, and it doesn't make allusions to Lovecraftian horror. That isn't to say Dig or Die isn't fun. It is. I had a legitimately good time playing it, and that should mean something.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a fantastic game and a must-play for anyone that enjoys puzzle-platformers.
Red Faction: Guerrilla was one of my favorite games in childhood, but after playing through it with fresh eyes I'm able to see the issues I didn't pick up as a kid: the story isn't memorable, the combat is lackluster, and the large open world isn't full of many interesting things to do.
This kind of RPG may not be for everybody, but it is one thousand percent for me. If you too long to recapture what I've described, you would be a fool to turn down Octopath Traveler.
In the end, despite all of the extra customization, RPG elements and other details, Bus Simulator 18 still gets to be boring after a few hours.
