Full of confidence and style, this game knows what it wants to do, and for most, probably achieves it gloriously. Personally, while it had its moments, unless you’re partial to the anime tropes, pretty painful. I’ll likely try again at some point.

Valve (finally) throw down the gauntlet. Alyx changes the VR landscape and is truly a masterpiece; sound, level, visual, game design and story are all top notch. Will not be surpassed for some time.

VR essential. Incredibly addictive. I love everything about this: the mechanic, the sound, the art style - fucking cool.

As with all Valve forays into VR, incredibly polished and one of the best introductions to the platform.

Probably one of the most Internet™ things ever. Pretty well made, but expectedly obnoxious and tiresome at times.

Stylish, frenetic, satisfying and addictive. Combat is like a puzzle; often requiring multiple runs through a room to find routes that enable effective & efficient rotation through pickups. Very fun.

Very exciting early access roguelike absolutely brimming with potential. Wish the movement was a bit more fluid, but is still very satisfying. Expectedly has a long way to go, but is one to watch.

Really creative mechanically, combining classic pinball with topdown bullethell ‘combat’. Visuals are great, is music too - but like the game itself can get a bit repetitive. Worth it for the concept.

Beautiful, short interactive story made in Melbourne. Likely too twee for a lot of people, but I really like it and am glad it came across from mobile.

FPS RPG with a beautiful setting and great environmental storytelling. Lacks in memorable characters a bit and at times narrative drive, but still a very strong game and likely an instant classic.
