    Jump Force
    An ambitious and interesting game that disappoints in practice due to a lack of depth. Audiovisually the quality is hit and miss and the roster mostly focuses on three anime series which is a real missed opportunity. Load times are also horrible. A lot of potential here that has gone to waste.

    The King's Bird
    The standout features of the King's Bird are its audiovisual qualities and the way in which the story is told but after a strong opening, the game crumbles under its own weight because the puzzles are repetitive and the level design is too simplistic. The game could have been far better than it turned out to be and that is a shame.

    Gungrave G.O.R.E
    The gameplay of Gungrave G.O.R.E is very cool in itself because of its brutal and unrelenting action, which is improved up by a delightful soundtrack. In the game, you are simply a bad-ass and that feels good. Were it not for the fact that the game suffers from difficulty spikes, a lack in enemy variations and inconsistent level design that can get on your nerves considerably. Potentially a very cool game, although it loses some momentum as you progress.

    Chimparty
    Limited (and often frustrating controls) are the main reason this 'Mario Party with monkeys' ultimately disappoints. Winning is fun, but if luck is this much of a factor, it also often feels entirely random, which is a shame.

    Death Road to Canada
    The game successfully fuses different genres together. Each new adventure presents you with randomly selected levels which do a great job of conveying the sense of survival. The longer you spend with the game however, the more its flaws become apparent. Luck plays a big part in whether or not you'll survive a little bit longer and the level of difficulty is anything but consistent. When repetition sets in after a while, you'll soon want to forget going to Canada altogether.

    Aliens: Colonial Marines
    A major disappointment in almost every way. The AI is dumb, the graphics obsolete, the animations at times absolutely horrible and the story boring. It's not scary, not engaging and certainly not exiting. It's just not good, period.

    Unknown 9: Awakening
    While the concept of the game is certainly interesting, the title unfortunately falls short in many areas. The combat feels too clumsy, the AI is not very smart and exploring the world is constantly discouraged, which breaks the immersion. In addition, the performance is inconsistent. That aside, the game does excel in its stealth components and level design. The voice work is also fine, but to say that makes the game a must play. Not really.

    Moto Racer 4
    Arcade through and through, yet ancient physics, weird design choices and a faulty VR-mode ultimately lead this brave attempt at rebooting a franchise to an early grave.

    Animal Force
    At its heart this two year old 3D tower defense game with its deceptive looks is a fun title to play but the hardcore difficulty will cause a lot of frustration even to the most veteran players among us. The multiplayer mini games are fun for a couple of times, but no more than that. A mediocre title at best.

    MX Vs ATV: Supercross
    Nothing too special, with a bare career mode, disappointing AI and underdeveloped animations. Could (and should) have been a lot better than this poor attempt at an MX vs. ATV game.

    Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
    Chivalry: Medieval Warfare's concept is intriguing, but technical problems, clunky controls and a mediocre presentation make for a pretty terrible experience. Shame.

    Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir
    The story's fine, as is the game's co-op mode. However, that's about it as far as the game's positive elements are concerned, as a mediocre technical performance and severe lack of originality are the main causes for Asterix and Obelix's downfall.

    Constructor
    Nostalgia can be a determinative factor, but often it isn't enough on its own to justify a purchase. Case and point: Constructor HD, which is so riddled with bugs, awkward controls and incomprehensible menus as to render any enjoyment stemming from nostalgia immediately moot.

    Cyberpunk 2077
    The main quest is everything it should be, but unfortunately most of the side content isn’t nearly as interesting. Add to this a shocking amount of bugs, stupid AI, loads of performance issues… and you’ll understand why Cyberpunk 2077 is a contender for ‘disappointment of the year’.

    Hunting Simulator
    Virtual hunting enthusiasts will get some mileage out of Hunting Simulator, thanks to the amount of depth that's to be found here. Unfortunately, a huge amount of bugs, bad sound design and a high price tag will keep the enjoyment to a minimum.

    One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows
    Loyal to its franchise, One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows offers a lot of different fighting styles. However, the controls are far from fluent, all missions feel exactly the same and for some reason it's impossible to switch between fighting styles while fighting. The end result is pretty damn mediocre.

    Smashbox Arena
    Smashbox Arena hinges on a neat idea. Unfortunately, a neat idea isn't enough and especially can't make us forget about the deserted servers, all too superior enemy AI and awkward controls. Shame.

    Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions
    Fans of the source material will appreciate the effort put into this, though the game's slow and counter-intuitive controls will probably leave even them with a bad taste in their mouths.

    Homefront: The Revolution
    Despite a great start and a unique setting, Homefront: The Revolution's technical weaknesses overshadow every aspect of this game that showed promise. Shame.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
    The gameplay is enjoyable as always, and the return of classic maps is a nice reunion. At the same time, Activision did make it very easy on itself by recycling a lot of content, adding older maps and more. This makes it not a new game, but simply downloadable content. Moreover, the amount of bugs that have been present for a long time is ridiculous and the menu is a mess. The shooter has potential, but it's time to consider the community as gamers, not cash cows.

    MotoGP 18
    You'd expect a lot of progress when a developer transitions to a newer engine but the opposite holds true for MotoGP 18. Load times are excruciating and visually the game is mediocre at best. Gameplay remains largely the same as previous editions and is anything but innovative. Unbelievably, the Managerial Career mode from the previous game is absent much to the detriment of MotoGP 18. This game definitely takes some steps back so we'd suggest sticking to MotoGP 17.

    Chocobo GP
    This kart racer plays very nicely and there is also a lot to unlock, which makes it a fun title in its own right. Were it not that the game is riddled with microtransactions and the number of circuits is low. On top of that, there is an unbalanced power-up system and the paid content feels superfluous, making it very disappointing in practice. The core is good, but it falls short in several other areas.

    Detective Pikachu Returns
    Detective Pikachu Returns is a fun game to play if you're a kid. For adults it's way too easy and graphically it doesn't impress one moment. It's also kind of stupid that the game doesn't have localisation in every country when its targeting kids as the main audience. A bit of shame, since the core of the game can be fun and charismatic.

    Funko Fusion
    Funko Fusion creatively plays with various classic films and licenses, presenting fine music and humor in the process, which makes sure that part is in order. At the same time, many things are out of order. For example, the frame rate is unstable, the game has annoying bugs, it is often unclear what the objective is, and more. While the concept is good, the technical execution is very disappointing.

    Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
    This re-release of Disney Epic Mickey is a fine reunion that excels for its creative world, atmosphere and visual presentation, were it not for a game breaking bug toward the end. In addition, the lack of voice-acting is a bit uncomfortable in the experience and it's odd that you can't revisit levels afterwards because of the many secrets to discover. Some points of criticism, and while those can be looked past, the game breaking bug is a problem which has a considerable effect on the score.

    Chernobylite
    Chernobylite appears to have it all: an intriguing storyline, a phenomenal world that feels authentic and begs to be explored, and exciting survival horror gameplay. Technically, it's a mess though, with an inconsistent framerate, disappointing graphics and - worst of all - a huge gamebreaking bug that deletes your progress. What a waste...

    V-Rally 4
    While visually very appealing and with a highly varied career mode, V-Rally 4 is plagued by a poor control scheme which can't decide whether it wants to be an arcade racer or a race simulator. Paired with very long load times the end result is a game which could and should have been far better than the end result. V-Rally deserves better.

    Star Wars Battlefront II
    There's a lot to love here, but unfortunately, none of these things quite manage to escape from the big loot box-shaped shadow that's hanging over the franchise. For now, do not buy this.

    NBA 2K24
    NBA 2K24 is Visual Concepts' best basketball game to date. The gameplay feels fantastic and this is complimented with an excellent atmosphere during games. It also looks stunning and the addition of Mamba Moments is a big plus. This is why it is such a shame the game is being destroyed by the microtransactions. Annually a point of criticism, but it's really hitting its stride as it hinders the enjoyment of the game.

    Time Carnage
    Time Carnage shouldn't be faulted for its technical aspects since those are absolutely solid. Where the title does fall flat on its back is in the generic design - it lacks any standout feature to make it distinguish itself from the ocean of available stationary VR wave shooters. Boredom sets in a couple of minutes after picking up your motion controllers and that can never be a good thing. Skip this game and choose one of the many (better) alternatives available on the PlayStation VR platform.
