“Arca's Path VR's use of gaze controls really helps to make it feel unique but intuitive. It's a bit short, but still well worth the investment for the meditative experience it provides.”

“Incursion does a lot of things right for the VR FPS genre, but the lack of AIM controller support is a big misstep in this otherwise competent VR shooter.”

“Knockout League is as close as it gets to playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out in VR. It's not perfect, but it's good enough to make you feel like Little Mac.”

“Super Beat Sports may seem simple on the outside, but once you begin to climb the ladders in each mini-game, the challenge of this rhythm-based game becomes very clear.”

“This final episode of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series just feels a bit flat and doesn't quite offer up the tough choices that the previous episodes have featured.”

“Good, fast, and entertaining gunplay paired with well-designed levels and punishing boss battles makes this game a great time.”

“NASCAR Heat 2 is a solid stock car racing game that suffers from a bit of a grinding in its Career Mode. Outside of that it's a complete racing game experience that feels great and honors NASCAR's spirit.”

“"Beat the Game is a very short-lived, artistically driven music adventure. While there isn't much in terms of length, the game drives unique gameplay with creative artistic design"”

“If you want a good, mindless brawler, pick this game up, but if you want a deep story and more varied gameplay look elsewhere.”

“Smashbox Arena features a cool concept of playing futuristic dodgeball in a virtual setting, but its execution is off just enough to make the experience feel mediocre at best.”

“"This game is a symphony of shit, and the crescendo is having a hernia trying to push said shit out."”

“Chess Ultra is just an all around great chess video game, and its 4K and VR support make its package even more unique. Players of all skill levels will find hours of fun and learning contained within this complete digital chess experience.”

“Ancient Amuletor is a solid VR tower defense game, but due to the lack of maps and content, it can't be recommended for a launch day purchase.”

“Empathy focuses on everyone but yourself. Your identity is loosely defined as “a child” by an anonymous narrator in the beginning, and that’s about all you get. You’re a metaphorical blank slate.”

“Scanner Sombre depends on the unknown to propel you forward as an all-encompassing blackness surrounds the player every step of the way. This is your canvas.”

“Symphony of the Machine excels with its puzzle gameplay and its use of VR, but things get wonky with the camera due to how often you have to reposition yourself on the level to achieve your goals.”

“A fun little puzzle romp for two people. Shift Happens suffers a little from not having a stronger offering for single player. Once you and a friend have completed it there's not a lot here to come back to. Still fun, and for the price it's not a bad distraction.”

“VR Invaders may not offer a 10+ hour campaign, but it does offer a very enjoyable and immersive VR shooting game experience with vibrant visuals and challenging gameplay.”

“Unearthing Mars has potential to be great, but due to its poor technical execution, namely with its visuals and character animations, the experience falls a bit short.”

“Darknet is unassuming in its complexity. This works to its advantage as much as it holds it back, resulting in an intriguing yet flawed experience entirely its own–especially within the VR atmosphere.”
