    If you want an adorable puzzler that's on the easy side then give Rail Rescue: Puzzle Lines a go but it's not for those who love a challenge.

    Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine may not be the clever concoction that I was hoping it would be but it can be fun in short bursts.

    I wanted to love Dungeonoid 2 Awakening but only ended up liking it with its haphazard mix of brick-breaking and arcade-like progression.

    Even though Disc Room is a fun game, its design suffers from difficulty that ultimately relies on randomness more than anything else.

    I had a good time with Startenders: Intergalactic Bartending but it can be a rather finicky and repetitive affair so keep that in mind.

    Simply put, your enjoyment of Thumper will mostly rely on how much fun you have retrying the same segments over and over again. Although some folks like games that take this approach, I personally get tired of it fast so keep that in mind before taking the trip.

    Enjoying Outer Wilds depends on your willingness to read guides and discuss the game online. Otherwise, you'll probably feel like you're regularly hitting your head on a brick wall as you try to make just an inch of progress.

    Party Hard 2 is definitely a step up from the original but it's still plagued with dumb AI and gameplay that can be rather tedious at times.

    I wish that Pacer tried to forge its own identity instead of being another WipEout clone because it's simply not as good of a game.

    It's beautiful, relaxing, and a wonderful game to show off PlayStation VR2 with but Kayak VR: Mirage is ultimately a very basic experience.
    • 58 Metascore

    It might feel like a clunky mess at first but once you get in the groove, Gargoyles Remastered becomes a rather enjoyable adventure.

    Slaughtering encroaching hellish demons sounds great on paper but Skelly Selest ends up being only enjoyable in short bursts.
    • 65 Metascore

    Fans of old-school RPGs will get a kick out of Atom RPG and its Fallout-inspired campaign but it's best to stick with the PC version.

    Doctor Who: The Edge of Time offers a gripping atmosphere and a great performance from Jodie Whittaker but besides that, it falls flat.
    • 70 Metascore

    Although it presents a pitch-perfect atmosphere, the bright spots in its uneven campaign don't really get much chance to truly shine.

    If you want a simple Metroidvania adventure that you can complete in 1 or 2 gaming sessions then Gato Roboto is the cat's pajamas.

    If you enjoyed Metagal then you'll definitely have fun with Metaloid: Origin yet it still doesn't deviate much from the classic formula.

    Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn explores life after the main story. However, it does so without adding anything substantial and the story feels rushed which makes this DLC hard to recommend even for fans of the main game (which is, in fact, awesome).

    With basic yet clever gameplay and an over-the-top presentation, Hungry Baby: Party Treats is a fun albeit short-lived party game.
    • 55 Metascore

    Although it feels authentic, VR Ping Pong Pro can be quite a frustrating game for those who aren't willing to train hard to win.

    Akane contains intense action with fantastic controls but the repetitiveness of it all ends up making it a somewhat limited experience.

    Although it's inspired by Qix, Xposed offers an original take on the formula that both works for and against it.

    TrainerVR does a good job of giving you the freedom to make your own elaborate train tracks but it could use at least some structure.

    Super Korotama is a safe adaptation of Taito's classic Ice Cold Beer yet it doesn't do enough to form its own identity.

    If its controls were tweaked and there was a bit more guidance, Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife would be a top-notch VR horror game.
    • 73 Metascore

    Depending on how willing you are to decipher how to progress, Corpse Party can range from a frustrating to a thrilling experience.

    Dick Wilde 2 can be a very irritating game but if you're willing to stick to it, it can become a rather rewarding arcade shooter.
    • 69 Metascore

    Gamers who enjoy classic puzzle-filled point-and-click adventure games may get a kick out of Creepy Tale 2 but it's not anything special.

    Goblin Sword's developers are clearly talented so I look forward to their next game where they'll hopefully iron out a lot of wrinkles.

    Pinball FX offers excellent pinball fun but I can only recommend it to those who are new to the series because fans will certainly be disappointed with its lackluster features. Plus, the fact that they'll have to buy everything again is frankly inexcusable.
