Pros
- + Nice graphics and original visual style
- + Impressive naval fleet scenes
- + High quality voice acting
- + Authentic environments and atmosphere
- + Original style of storytelling
Cons
- – Weak game mechanics in general
- – A bit boring and repetitive gameplay

- – Quite short (around 1-1.5 hours in total)

Very authentic game with some impressive and cinematographic scenes, but in general monotonous, quite 'scriptish' and with a bit weak story. We'd recommend it as a short immersive tour with naval vibes for the fans of pirate stories and/or asia

Pros
- + Nice game mechanics
- + Pleasant look and feel
- + Diversity even in routine tasks
- + Good voice overs and lite story line
- + Impressive and futuristic environment
- + Funny set of tools
- + Cute and angry robots :)
Cons
- – Unskippable dialogues
- – Missing difficulty/duration settings
- – Lacks free/endless mode
Really nice game, a variant of "Papers, please" in VR set up in robotized future. Some of the robots you interact with will appear life-like, with special personalities, tricks, and funny reactions to your actions. We'd recommend to try this game, especially if you like robots and puzzles :)

Pros
- + The game itself is fully consistent with the original
- + Not the worst VR adaptation, but still far from OK
- + Nice voice acting, fine cut scenes (but still in cinema-like 2.5D)
- + Full-length story-rich campaign
Cons
- – Low resolution and low-detailed graphics
- – Clumsy controls and gameplay mechanics
- – Loooots of bugs and crashes
- – Performance issues on Quest 2
In general this might be OK for the fans of simple shooters or original Bulletstorm (we've seen worse adaptations like Fallout VR), but in general game is boring, doesn't look great and feels a bit clumsy, especially for the price requested. We recommend to avoid it, if you don't feel anything special to Bulletstorm franchise.

Toy Trains VR is an engaging retro-tabletop-stylized puzzle game featuring adorable railroad pieces.

Arizona Sunshine 2
Nice sequel to legendary and one of the first top post-apocalyptic shooters in VR game industry

Jan 8, 2024
Pros
- + Great visual style and fantastic environments
- + Great cinematic scenes and story narration
- + New climbing mechanics and interactions
- + Wide range of weapons, melee combat
- + Strong story line, life monologues and humor
- + Amazing co-op is still here (including cross-platform support)
Cons
- – Frequent crashes and bugs
- – Controls behavior is not stable good, after HL Alyx's perfection doesn't look okay today for such class of game
- – Lack of really impressive innovative elements if you compare with prequel
A nice, but technically not perfect AAA game from legendary studio. It's predecessor was a phenomenal game for it's time and you expect more or less the same from the sequel. It features new mechanics and companion, but nothing innovative and special. Our verdict: Buy on sale or wait for patch.
Racket Club
A brilliant made single/multiplayer arcade game with mix of squash and pickleball

Pros
- + Absolutely stunning visuals even on Quest 2
- + Top quality of world interactions, parkour and distant combat techniques
- + Amazing environments and full-scale maps of 3 different epochs
- + Quite strong story line and really good voice acting
- + Lots of comfort, assistance and control options, difficulty settings
Cons
- – In some combat scenarios character control could be clumsy or overcomplicated
- – Close combat could be made a bit better
- – Might be a bit difficult for a people new in VR (despite the useful tutorials)
- – Some aspects and small details of the game still need polishing
It's an amazing AAA game, one of the best and exciting VR titles of the recent years and a debut to Ubisoft's original series to VR platforms. This game exceeded our expectations in most of it's sides, but we strongly recommend you to set it up closely to your comfort before start playing it not to ruin the impression.
Demeo: Battles
A duel version of Tabletop VR game DEMEO, that puts you into a diminishing arena to a mortal battle with your opponent
Demeo: Battles
Editorial Rating
Nov 22, 2023
Pros
- + Great visual look, effects and look
- + Absolutely stunning gameplay mechanics and tabletop implementation
- + Extended range of creatures and spells
- + Really addicting PvP mechanics, which totally changes the game emotions
- + Much shorter match lenght (15-30 mins)
- + Cross-platform support and good matchmaking
Cons
- – A little bit overpriced
- – Needs some extended features to have more difference with the original DEMEO
- – Lacks more variative game modes and exclusive content for that price
This is a really good spin-off or evolution of the original game, that totally changes the main objective and strategy. A fast-paced variation of the original game, where you turn your weapons against real players and get a bit shorter match time (15-30 min vs 3 hours in original Demeo) and different game approach. In our opinion it's a really good evolution of Demeo universe for the community.
I Expect You To Die 3
A second sequel to a story-driven puzzle game with spy vives and thin sense of humor, that continues a course taken of game series.

Pros
- + Very original stylistics of the game
- + Really impressive look&feel and voice acting
- + Comfortable interactions and strong story line
- + Very original scenario, environments and puzzles
- + Nicely worked sound track and atmosphere
Cons
- – Lack of checkpoints (if you fail you start over)
- – Missing new original mechanics and ideas
- – Some persons might find it too difficult (even with clues)
Developers saved original atmosphere and game vibes, which is really nice for the fans, but as a second sequel it brings only lots of new content without some innovative ideas and mechanics. So it's a perfect fit if you like the series and would like to get more content.

Cons

A nice educational game, that opens a new VR format for Kurzgesagt for their educational content. The game is designed very well, but in some details might be a bit boring for a small children. We found it a bit complicated to pass for a child, without a hints and guidelines.
