Doom is just as violent and mesmerizing in VR, but a number of concessions were made in this truncated version.- CGMagazine

Expedition: Viking is a fun slightly strategic RPG that utilizes an interesting theme to great effect. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take enough chances to really be memorable.- CGMagazine

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From the Ashes tries to tell a poignant story of loss from a Na’vi perspective, but lingering gameplay flaws mean only the most patient fans are likely to stick with it to the end.- CGMagazine

Dolmen is a massive achievement on a small Indie team of 30 developers and is a solid recommendation to those familiar with FromSoftware’s titles but shouldn’t be recommended to the more casual gamer.- CGMagazine

Lords and Villeins is anything but a simple sim game. Strategy is key or your town will suffer. It is an easy game to get completely lost, but its already active community speaks wonders for the longevity of the game.- CGMagazine

9 Years of Shadows is a solid 2D action-adventure title that is very pretty to look at, and could be recommended to those who don’t focus on combat.- CGMagazine

EA Sports FC 26 is a fine entry to the annual football title from EA, featuring responsive gameplay and in-depth menus, but it’s not necessarily enough to make everyone happy.- CGMagazine

Kingdom Hearts fans - particularly those who can justify the game's astronomical price point of $60 for about five hours of new content - will definitely enjoy their brief time with Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue.- CGMagazine

Ultimately, Kingdom Rush: Vengeance provides players with a competent tower defense title that stands out from the saturated genre thanks to its colourful art style, quirky story beats and its role-reversal on good versus evil.- CGMagazine

The world of Elderand tickled my fancy from the beginning to the end, and kept me coming back to pick it up with its fairly standard battle mechanics and replayability factors.- CGMagazine

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is the ultimate fan-game—that is to say, a game for the fans. It captures everything that made the original film great, and puts you in the starring role; really making you feel like a Ghostbuster. With everything that this game does right, it’s a wonder how more Ghostbusters games weren’t made, excluding the terrible Sanctum of Slime, and Ghostbusters (2016) game.- CGMagazine

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is an enjoyable experiment in melding Soulslike conventions onto a Final Fantasy skeleton. However it undercuts itself by not daring for more complexity, setting up great narrative and gameplay turns that never come to pass.- CGMagazine

Stellaris: Console Edition has a long way to go to catch up to the PC version, but its intuitive controls make it a compelling strategy game on consoles nonetheless.- CGMagazine

Overall, Thirsty Suitors is a fun experience. If you can overlook the rough skateboarding sections and repetitive encounters, there is a good coming-of-age story and some fantastic music and mini-games.- CGMagazine

Miasma Chronicles brings some solid evolution to the turn-based strategy genre. While making itself approachable to newcomers and fans alike. The gameplay is really good, but the story is, for the most part, forgettable.- CGMagazine

If you’re a fan of the Budokai Tenkaichi series and are looking for a new fighter in the same cloth, a fan of anime looking for a new series to get into (it’s on Netflix), or just a fan of fighters looking for something other than Mortal Kombat to play with a friend, I’d say this one is definitely worth a look.- CGMagazine

Assassin’s Creed Nexus manages to successfully pull off a fully-fledged VR game set around its fast-moving traversal mechanics with minimal motion sickness. They have, in a way, set a new standard for comfort options.- CGMagazine

In its current state Jurassic World Evolution is entertaining, but barebones as a business sim. Where Frontier really got things right was the dinosaurs themselves, they are simply the best versions of these prehistoric creatures in video games to date.- CGMagazine
