    At the end of the game’s update cycle, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition proves to be a fitting conclusion to a rock solid fighting game.

    Currently the best multiplayer experience on the Oculus Rift, if only the servers were more populated due to the bungled launch of the Rift. Easily recommendable once more people have headsets if you've got a hankering for space dogfighting.

    Ys SEVEN remains a hard-rockin', wall-crushin' paragon of the action RPG genre.

    Don’t let What the Bat’s absurd premise stop your baseball bat for hands move through hours of hilarious puzzles - and recapturing simple childhood fun - that hits a home run over the new PSVR 2 console.

    F1 Manager 2024 is a very good Formula 1 simulation in every aspect of the management side of things. The sheer number of things you can adjust and change is staggering and perfect for the F1 connoisseur to tackle.

    Deserts of Kharak boasts an unprecedented beauty in its setting and world design, and its hand drawn-style cutscenes only add to that.

    BioShock: The Collection pushes the Nintendo Switch to its limits and offers the best looking games on the system to date without taking away its hallmark FPS experience for players.

    While it can feel a little linear at times, there is something magical about the start to any Pokémon adventure, and that’s what makes Pokémon Sun so great.

    Keylocker is a testament to smart Indie JRPG design, and is an easy recommendation for any fans of the genre.

    Fallout 4 is a bit of a mixed bag. While it’s certainly enjoyable and I highly recommend it, I’m not sure if this is the revolutionary Fallout title that we’ve all been waiting for. It really feels less like Fallout 4 and more like Fallout 3.75. Longtime fans will definitely find a game they love here, without question (I do too), and newcomers will find a game that’s a little easier to approach and equally enjoyable to get into.

    RetroRealms Arcade is a great double feature of platformers that is an easy recommendation to horror fans, platforming fans, and is a must play for both.

    While I think TRON: Catalyst leaves a little to be desired, it's still an excellent action adventure and brings the TRON world to life in a way few games have.

    Elite: Dangerous isn’t a terrible game, but I don’t think it was made for mass appeal.

    RetroRealms Arcade is a great double feature of platformers that is an easy recommendation to horror fans, platforming fans, and is a must play for both.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is, for better or worse, a lean green fighting machine. A quintessentially retro presentation makes up for some shortcomings, and adults who grew up on the franchise will love the nostalgia trip.

    I Hate Running Backwards is a much needed and refreshing tribute to the classic arcade shoot ‘em up, that, in spite of a few odd difficulty spikes, is highly addictive and absolutely worth the time spent—and at times lost—to it.

    Blade Strangers is accessible to players of any skill thanks to simplified combat, but still leaves room for the more competitive players to shine.

    Remnant II: The Forgotten Kingdom is a solid entry into the Remnant franchise with fresh and unique ways to play thanks to the Invoker archetype and a host of new weapons, time and mods. Priced at USD $9.99, it’s worth picking up if you are a fan of the franchise.

    Life is Strange 2 sets up a very different story that cares a lot of the original game’s strengths with it, and leaves some of its weaker points behind.

    Coromon is a must play for Pokémon fans, and although it has flaws, fans who normally steer clear of like minded games might find reprieve here, especially for its good price and portability due to the Switch port.

    Fortnite brings a lot to the table with season 5, and while it is certainly worth your time and money, I just wish it could be a tad bit smoother before calling it “perfect”.

    Outriders Worldslayer is a great time for fans of the base game with a dedicated squad of friends to play with, but players looking for a single player experience, or something more than ‘just Outriders’ will have a rough time.

    The straightforward short hit game style makes the case for itself and games like it. It’s not completely revolutionary, but it successfully adapts the PC to VR game to the console and makes for a good time.

    Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow feels like a return to form for the immersive sim series. Great mechanics and immersion on a level never experienced before for Thief make this feel like the dormant series is back in full glory.

    On Your Tail tells an interesting story by engaging the player in a simple life sim with intriguing crime-solving elements.

    Atelier Yumia is another solid outing for Gust's long-running series, which learns from its predecessor's successes while carving its own path.

    Danganronpa Another Episode Ultra Despair Girls is still a profound story with improved mechanics on PS4, but its standing in the series’ narrative has shifted for the worst since it originally launched.

    BlazBlue Entropy Effect X has been one of the few games that I have had a very hard time putting down strictly due to how much fun I was having playing it.

    Evil Wizard makes a bold narrative choice but feels safe everywhere else. Constant and redundant backtracking to get the right spell and inconsistent difficulty spikes make the combat loops feel like ‘just another action title’, and while that may be the case, Rubber Duck Games has fine-tuned the combat and exploration to give Evil Wizard its own identity – a challenging title with fun laughs for those who see it through to the end.

    Despite some technical issues and a lacklustre final encounter, Unknown 9: Awakening brings a unique take on combat with an extremely well-acted plot that creates a story truly worth experiencing.
