Another visually stunning game from the creators of Arizona Sunshine and After the Fall, and it’s absolutely worth your attention—not only for its captivating story, atmosphere, and graphics. While the gameplay can feel a bit repetitive at times, and there are a few minor flaws (which we hope the developers will address in upcoming patches), it remains an exceptionally immersive VR experience with a compelling narrative at its core.

An excellent reinterpretation of funny indie game with co-op multiplayer support, where you solve funny physical puzzles with full immersion and synchronization with your hands. Could be excellent option for parties and solo play, but might quickly become boring if you don't like physical puzzles. Give it a try and find out :)

Pros
- + Absolutely stunning visuals
- + Original game atmosphere
- + Enhanced gameplay mechanics and weapon arsenal
- + Totally reworked damage & gore system
- + Cross-buy and cross-platform multiplayer
- + Incredibly great revive of classics
Cons
- – Minor bugs with weapon reloading
- – FPS drops in specific scenes on PC
When Arizona Sunshine 2 was released, our first thought was, "Wouldn't it be amazing to see the original as a prequel on the new AS2 engine?" Now, we have just that: a beautifully remastered version of this legendary game, with stunning visuals and a smooth, accessible experience for all players. This is a truly unique title from the early days of VR, and we highly recommend it to any shooter fan—especially in co-op mode with a friend. Thanks to cross-platform multiplayer (a feature missing from the original), that’s now easier than ever.
Exploding Kittens VR
An awesome adaptation of authentic board game to VR, with rich multiplayer support, different game modes, funny animations and lots of TNT

Pros
- + Charming cartoonish visuals
- + Authentic and engaging game mechanics
- + Excellent sound and animation design
- + Customizable movement settings (including teleport mode)
- + Playful environment with plenty of humor and fun details
- + Smooth performance and user-friendly simplicity
- + Helpful tutorial with the option to practice against bots
Cons
- – Limited variety of action cards (only 7 types for now)
- – Very few people in the lobbies (at the moment)
In our opinion, developers have made a great work and released very funny VR game, which is even more funny to play due a full immersion and environment. Would be nice to have more types of actions (like additional cards from the DLCs of mobile port of the game) and more people in the lobbies. But the game itself is a brilliant interpretation of the original, masterfully crafted for VR.
Escaping Wonderland
A wonderful sequel to amazing story rich arcade/puzzle game set up in Alice in Wonderland setting

Pros
- + Incredible graphics and magic worlds
- + Very good and user-friendly controls
- + Great narration, story and characters
- + Original game mechanics with light puzzles
- + Optimal game length and difficulty
Cons
- – Minor camera issues
In our opinion this is a very worthy sequel to a very worthy original game with a light but very heartfelt story. A wonderful continuation of the story, made with the same skill and love as the original. Strongly recommended to everyone, especially if you play the prequel before starting this one.

Pros
- + Nice visuals
- + Wide range of ingredients
- + Good multiplayer implementation
- + Campaign with career mode
- + Different bars/environments
Cons
- – A bit buggy
- – Clumsy physics
- – No feeling of liquids
- – Little bit boring in general
It's a nice start but game feels like more early access unfinished product, with some perspectives. We didn't like some mechanics and the implementation of specific features, but for genre-lovers it might be a good choice
Sony PS VR2 App / Adapter
Almost perfect app, that will make working one of the best consumer headsets with your entire STEAM PC VR games library
Sony PS VR2 App / Adapter

Pros
- + Simple set up and nice instructions
- + Step by step wizard
- + Really good and stable drivers since launch day
- + Hassle-free adapter on sale if you don't have VirtualLink port on GPU
- + Perfect tracking, guardian set up and overall impression
- + Really impressive quality (even compared to PS VR2+PS5)
Cons
- – Some people report about issues with controllers tracking/lagging on certain Bluetooth adapters
- – Lack of full PS VR2 features (Sony excluded HDR, Eye Tracking and adaptive triggers from PC VR at the day)
- – Controller tracking is not instant, which is not perfect (but playable) for real-time rhythm games like Beat Saber and Paradiddle
We've been testing PS VR2 headset on mid-range PC with Geforce RTX 3700Ti GPU, Sony's original PS VR2<>PC adapter and integrated Bluetooth module (Intel B660M chipset with ASUS TUF motherboard) and we had flawless gaming experience without any issues and with perfect performance. It is disappointing that Sony decided to limit some unique features of PS VR2, but we hope they will bring them later (or at least some of them). Also, PS VR2's Halo-strap isn't a perfect solution for long VR sessions due it's comfort, but these are the points you can customize and personalize. Headset performs even better than on PS5 (due performance increase) so we decided to post some future PC VR game reviews using PS VR2 headset as it's one of the best consumer PC VR headsets at the day.
THRASHER
A techno-trip gesture-like audiovisual experience, successor of legendary Thumper rhythm game with totally different mechanics and visuals

Aug 3, 2024
Pros
- + Simple-to-learn gameplay mechanics
- + Nice visuals and sound design
- + Relaxing but challenging gameplay
- + Smooth progressing system
Cons
- – A bit too sample mechanics, especially comparing to its predecessor
- – Missing some audio and visual syncing or dependency
- – Casuality and lack of serious mechanics changes during progress
Unlike its predecessor, this is not an outstanding game for its time with much less impressive visuals and Fruit-Ninja-like mechanics without rhythm or authentic gameplay mechanics. It's a nice looking and feeling casual game, that is a fine purchase for its price, but don't expect something extraordinary.
Riven
Nicely made remake of famous adventure game from 1990's with focus on puzzle solving, mystery and rich story line.

Pros
- + Impression and immersivity, especially if you played original game
- + Fantastic world, characters and atmosphere
- + Nicely crafted puzzles with authentic mechanics and difficulty
- + Rich story and focus on story-telling and exploration
- + Great re-imigination of original with VR support, very special for old fans
Cons
- – Some puzzles might be quite difficult
- – Lack of in-game hints and journal for notes
- – Game isn't running perfectly on Quest 2 due lack of performance (see the note)
This is a well-crafted VR reimagination of the legendary game, but we won't recommend it to everyone due to its non-casual difficulty. It is an ideal choice for fans of the series and those who enjoy above-average challenge in puzzle games.
Infinite Inside
A nice mixed/virtual reality puzzle game with very impressive environment, similar to Puzzling Places and The Room VR

Pros
- + Nice puzzle mechanics
- + Great environments
- + Good made graphics
- + Really nice sound design and OST
- + Fine controls and physics
Cons
- – Monotony and uniformity of gameplay
- – Lack of story line and reason to beat the whole game
- – A bit long and (sometimes) unclear levels
This is a nice puzzle-solving game for the fans of genre: great looking and feeling, technically it's good. But for average player it might be too monotonous and unclear. We tried PC VR version (without Mixed Reality) and the first impression was really good, but after second chapter we find the game a bit long and boring to complete. We'd recommend this to real puzzle fans or players, who enjoy games like Puzzling Places and atmosphere of The Room VR. It's also a very nice game to get on sale for discounted price.
Dead Second
Quite simple but nice arcade cover shooter game with advanced time mechanics and scripted movement system, featuring 8 different levels

Pros
- + Controls and shooting mechanics
- + Movement mechanics
- + Number of levels and their design
- + Nice, guided tutorial
- + Gameplay in general
- + Low price
Cons
- – A bit simplified and very basic
- – Lack of VFX
- – You can find better similar game for the same price
While this is a solid game, especially for fans of Time Crisis and cover shooter genre in general, as a VR interpretation it doesn't quite reach the heights of other similar games. We've experienced games with more intricate physics and interactions, and finely-tuned gameplay. It's enjoyable, but we think that for the same price, you can find better offerings in the genre. Anyway, we recommend it in case you collect games of this genre and would be happy to have another one.
