Video Game Review – Vacation Simulator
Shaun Munro reviews Vacation Simulator… Owlchemy Labs’ Job Simulator remains one of the early gemstones of PSVR and VR in general, providing persuasive proof as it did that offbeat comedy games could flourish amid a sea of me-too VR shooters. And now Owlchemy has finally returned with a nifty new riff, taking aim at the […]
Video Game Review – Trover Saves the Universe
Shaun Munro reviews Trover Saves the Universe… If Squanch Games’ previous VR collaboration with Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland left you craving a more substantial, premium experience, then this expansive, foul-mouthed follow-up should prove just the ticket. Indeed, Trover Saves the Universe is far from the on-rails, sub-hour-long “experience” that was 2017’s Accounting+, instead […]
Video Game Review – Dick Wilde 2
Shaun Munro reviews Dick Wilde 2… You’d be forgiven for missing southern fried VR shooting gallery Dick Wilde when it launched back in mid-2017 (and you can find our review here). The inauspiciously-monikered shooter was nevertheless an instant cult classic, and remains one of the most impressive uses of PSVR’s Aim controller. Just less than two years later, […]
Video Game Review – A Fisherman’s Tale
Shaun Munro reviews A Fisherman’s Tale… PSVR’s 2019 gets off to a surging start with the one-two punch of Ace Combat 7‘s delirious VR suite and now A Fisherman’s Tale, a delightfully disorientating puzzler from Innerspace VR (Firebird: La Peri) that in many ways pushes the boundaries of precisely what VR gaming can be. The player controls Bob, a […]
Video Game Review – Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Shaun Munro reviews Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown… First things first – Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is my first experience with the hit combat flight franchise, and a game I was mostly drawn to because of Bandai Namco’s decision to include PSVR support. As a first-time flyer, my time with it will likely differ somewhat to that […]
Video Game Review – Statik
Shaun Munro reviews Statik… If you enjoy crisply immersive VR graphics, bone-dry humour and feeling like an absolute idiot, Tarsier Studios’ Statik just might be the game for you. Providing yet more evidence that non-roomscale VR is simply better-suited to seated, static (or rather, statik) experiences, this unassuming yet devilishly tricky puzzler represents some of the […]
Video Game Review – Superhot VR
Shaun Munro reviews Superhot VR… Pretty much anyone who’s ever seen The Matrix has surely fantasised about pulling a Neo and bending backwards in slow-motion while performing a gravity-defying bullet dodge, right? Well, that dream has finally become a reality with Superhot VR, which mostly makes good on bringing last year’s original 2D version of the game to […]
