    ADR1FT
    Adr1ft is an absolutely stunning visual experience. It looks amazing and feels great to be in nearly at all times. That is until you progress to the point when you realize you’re doing the exact same thing in a new sector of the ship, not even with different objectives or quick time moments to try to mask the fact that you’re hitting enter to make yet another core and plug it in. The whole experience is relatively short, and while it’s something to behold visually and feels good while in it, it might not be something for everyone.

    Dead Island: Definitive Collection
    Some remasters can feel a bit mailed in when it comes to how much they’ve actually been improved, but Dead Island: Definitive Edition is not one of them. Who knows what is going to happen to Dead Island 2 at this stage, but one thing that is true is Deep Silver has reignited the franchise with Dead Island: Definitive Edition.

    Republique: Episode 4 - God's Acre
    God's Acre is a very focused episode, with very little backtracking and can be completed just under 2 hours without collecting everything. The core stealth action is the same, and the reduced OMNI abilities never feel like a hindrance. God's Acre is less frustrating than previous episodes and does not overstay its welcome, but does not change the formula enough to stand out.

    Dungeons 2
    If you like playing as the bad guys in a fairy tale and have a love for real-time strategy games, Dungeons 2 is worth a shot. The way the dungeons are handled with the Hand of Terror and the real-time narrator are the superb bright spots of the game. The game is not super in-depth and is not full of micromanaging. This does allow for quicker sessions and progression.

    Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
    Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games has all the makings to be a strong multiplayer game for Nintendo 3DS, but it fails to stick the landing due to the misstep of not including an online multiplayer.

    The Technomancer
    Light frustrations aside, the depth of Technomancer cannot be denied. Systems abound there are infinite possibilities for differing characters; reputation, talents, abilities, XP bonuses, crafting, team recruiting, and much more await those that are in for something that borrows from a few other franchises but in smart ways.

    Trials of the Blood Dragon
    If the entire game was more platforming and less motorcycles and vehicles, it had potential to be entertaining.

    Mighty No. 9
    The point is, despite its flaws, Mighty No. 9 is a good step toward reviving the Mega Man style in all but name. Hopefully the team will learn from their mistakes and make the next game the classic fans want it to be.

    R.B.I. Baseball 16
    For what it is, a throwback baseball game, "RBI Baseball 16" is playable and can be, with the right people, enjoyable. But with a lack of overt sexiness and bells and whistles, hardcore baseball fans will obviously look to The Show for a complete next-gen offering.

    Shadwen
    A fun game for a more than fair price from Frozenbyte, and one that definitely will scratch that stealth-action narrative itch.

    Fallout 4: Wasteland Workshop
    A budget level DLC coming in at $4.99 adds enough to keep the settlement builder extremely engaged and experimenting. There are a few quirks to the DLC itself, and really should only be considered for those that want more of the things that made Hearthfire so attractive for Skyrim.

    Homefront: The Revolution
    Homefront: The Revolution can be a great game, and maybe a few months from now Dambuster Studios will have fixed everything that's wrong with it. However, with the current state it is in now it's extremely difficult to recommend this game, even to the most ardent fans of Homefront.

    Umbrella Corps
    Umbrella Corps has some good ideas going for it, but the speed of the game really dampens the enjoyment one will have with the game. If the game was slowed down and played like a traditional tactical-based cover shooter, it would have an easier time finding its audience.

    5 Star Wrestling: ReGenesis
    Although WWE, WCW and Lucha Libre legend Rey Mysterio has been confirmed for the game and there will be more characters and modes, 5 Star Wrestling ReGenesis still has bugs and wrinkles that will turn away casual gamers. However, if you live and die on wrestling games, it’s a must-play that you’ll have the most fun with in a multiplayer setting.

    Tetris Ultimate
    The best features of the new game come from four-player versus, co-op, and things like leaderboards and an activity feed. Unfortunately, with technical issues abound and some design choices that grate on the player over time Tetris Ultimate just doesn’t feel like it does the title justice. It doesn’t ring as the “Ultimate” version of the old Russian puzzler.

    Land's End
    Land’s End is an influential VR experience that showcases the strengths of VR. [Tested with Samsung Gear]

    Sisters
    Sisters is incredibly short, lasting only a few minutes, but it is a great demonstration of how the horror genre can make use of the VR to create genuinely terrifying situations. When partnered with strong sound design, horror games will haunt and frighten people like never before thanks to VR.
