The Mage's Tale - 3.5 (-) - A 10hr dungeon diver with a slew of quality touches, but let down by some filler and wave-shooter sections. Įdge of Nowhere - 3.5 (+) - 3rd person linear Cthulu-horrors don't tick my boxes, but the art and swirls of storytelling raised this above its more monotonous mechanics. Vanishing Realms 3.5 (+) - Satisfying melee and cartoony consistency make this dungeon crawler overcome it's short-ish length. Yupitergrad 3.5 (+) - A short but satisfying space-station adventure, leaning as much towards action as puzzling with its spiderman suction-cup format. Both combat and puzzles approached the Escher-esque by the end. NeverBound 3.5 +(+) - Abandonware, but well worth a sale buy to experience its gravity-altering game mechanic. LA Noire 3.5 ++ - Absolutely amazing at points, and a laudable attempt at an experimental port, but often grinding its gears due to tech and design requirements :| Runes: The Forgotten Path 3.5 ++(+) - Stilted but also strangely slick spell-casting indie puzzler PROZE: Enlightenment 3.5 +++ - A 3hr 'first chapter' that escapes its indie trappings to create an atmospheric roam through a cold-war fantasy-fusion realm. Vertigo 4 ++ - Eccentric but pretty damn excellent 'escape the lab' adventure, with some stand out giant boss scenarios.ĭownward Spiral: Horus Station 4 - This budget space-station odyssey manages to punch above its weight throughout, mixing Aliens-esque environments with expansive zero-G robot battles.īoneworks 4 - Indie 'escape the virtual lab' gun and puzzle affair, marked out, and held back, by its physicalised avatar. (And at its worst, just a very good VR shooter ) Half-Life: Alyx 4.5 (+) - A visually stunning VR reboot for the Half-Life series, which at its best is a stupendous, art-house, tricksy, horror-action sci-fi adventure wonderland. Expect the jank to be cranked to the max too though It's a blind-firing, deep-diving, horizon-refining, hair-raising epic of a thing. The Gallery - Episode 2: Heart of the Emberstone 3 - A more fulsome follow-up, unfortunately hamstrung by its absurd load times and location re-use.įallout 4 4.5 (+) - Everything that's good about FO4 is better here. Red Matter 3.5 - Visually glorious space 'spy' mission, which has its highlights, but suffers from the regular slimness of its puzzle staples. Scanner Sombre 3.5 (+-) - Slim on narrative, mechanics, and events, but its quiet journey into an unwelcoming cave is still tense and effective. Torn 3.5 (+/-) - The dated walking scheme, simplistic puzzling, and silly conclusion can't dent the transporting setting and Sorceror's Apprentice fun of faffing with physics objects. Amazing at points, but marred by annoyances throughout. Robinson: The Journey 3.5 ++/- Visually lush AAA 'kid friendly' adventure through dinosaur-infested space wreckage. Pollen 3.5 +++ - Explore an abandoned space outpost in search of missing astronauts - Tactile, 70s-style, and not a little bit trippy by the end. The Gallery - Episode 1: Call of the Starseed 3.5 +++ - '80s adventure' with some neat tricks and touches, just ultimately light on puzzles and length. PROZE: Enlightenment 3.5 +++ - An atmospheric 'first chapter' of cold war fantasy/conspiracy, somehow managing to endear and engage, punching above its indie roots. Lone Echo 4 - A 'floating sim' where style, immersion & character trump the otherwise straight-forward puzzling Simple, sweaty, bullet-dodging hijinks at its core though. Silicon Rising 3.5 -(-) - A slick cyberpunk sheen and some level variety helps this indie wave shooter up its game. Run of Mydan 3.5 (+) - A short but pretty & trippy flying platform shooter which ends up like a duel inside a 1990s microchip Even though it's more a suite of mechanics than a game it's surprisingly good.
#SCANNER SOMBRE VR SIMULATOR#
Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades 4- Ridiculously replete gun simulator sandbox with bonus zombie sausage scenarios. Rec Room Arguably as much about the lobbies and chat rooms as the co-op and the pvp. Onward 4 - Arma-style 'realistic' mili shooter that really places you in the moment! Solid gunplay, custom maps, TTT-silliness, and a bustling, irreverent community.
Pavlov 4 - Source-FPS homage that brings the old to the new. Even if it contains many indie depravities that must be forgiven. War Dust 4 - I love Battlefield, and I love this VR clone of it. GORN 4 - Ludicrous arena melee-fest that deploys its cartoon hammers and bendy swords to great effect. Its future-90s cities felt like a place you were scudding through, but the focus was on the high octane gamery. Robo Recall 4 - Gaudy teleportation shooter, short-ish but slickly executed. SUPERHOT VR 4.5 - Superhuman slow-mo super-antics.
