    Eagle Flight could be the best PlayStation VR game out there. The controls are great and the graphics could have been stolen from a painting. If only Eagle Flight had more multiplayer content.

    Just Dance 2017 is another solid entry in the franchise, although it has its flaws. The game is rich of content, but some of that content is locked behind a pay wall in the form of Just Dance Unlimited. Also, a lack of new modes is a missed opportunity.

    Jackal Assault could be a different Call of Duty game with a lot of possibilities. The game is way too short, but the controls are good as is the gameplay.

    Robinson The Journey feels like an unique VR adventure with one of a kind beauty. Unfortunately the visual greatness is held back by the fact that feels like a walking simulator instead of a true puzzle game.

    Pokémon Sun is simply amazing. Alola is beautiful and offers a balanced mix between old and new Pokémon. The many new features help keep the gameplay fresh and there's no need for HM slaves anymore.

    Watch Dogs 2 has learned from the mistakes that Watch Dogs made. It has an interesting cast of characters, the city is full of colour and the smartphone is used well. It has some flaws however, but those don't take too much away from the experience.

    Dishonored 2 is quite a masterpiece. An interesting campaign with an enormous replay value takes you to the best Karnaca has to offer. Corvo is back, but he's not alone anymore.

    Here They Lie is not the VR-horror game that it could have been. While is does have some tense moments, the technical imperfections and vague storytelling spoil most of the fun. Because of that, Here They Lie is not a blast to play through.

    About a year after the original release for the PC, console users may now enjoy Vermintide as well. The game is most enjoyable with 3 others, as the bot's AI leaves a lot to be desired. If you are into co-op and like a challenge, this is for you.

    Telltale Batman keeps getting better with every episode. The choices you can make give the game it's power. The fighting scenes are good, though some more freedom is something that can be implemented.

    Hitman Episode 6 is a worthy ending to a great first season. Hokkaido is a breathtaking place with lots of diverse methods to kill your targets. While the ending does give us soms answers storywise, it also leaves room for more future content.

    Farming Simulator 17 speaks to a specific market segment, and that segment only. If you are not into agriculture, you will be guaranteed to be bored. For those who love farming, FS17 has a lot to offer.

    World of Final Fantasy offers fans a ton of nostalgia. The RPG turn-based combat style combined with the gotta catch 'em all element proves a golden mix for this RPG. And the hyper-deformed sauce just completes this. A must buy for the fan!

    Skyrim is, was, and will always be the RPG that set the tone. The special edition brings back all the positive and even manages to improve in some areas. Although not perfect, Skyrim special edition is a must have when prices drop.

    Titanfall 2 offers players an amazing campaign, but the multiplayer is very disappointing. This makes the game just average overall, which is a waste because it could have been so much better.

    Ride 2 sadly is not the racegame that it could have been. The amount of content is superb, with lots of tracks and bikes to choose from. However, its technical problems impedes Ride 2 from being the great racegame that it could have been.

    Rez Infinite could be the game of the future. Destroying virusses has never been so much fun! And did we mention the VR experience? Amazingly intense!

    Call of Duty Infinite Warfare does that what CoD does best. High tempo combat of huge scale, but now in a space setting. You feel like being part of a movie. Zombies made by far the biggest growth. The multiplayer is fine, but feels like Black Ops 3 Plus.

    Psycho Pass Mandatory Happiness is a nice game for anyone who likes Japanese visual novels or the Psycho Pass anime. The game doesn't require much input from the player and gets a bit repetitive sometimes, but the setting and story mostly make up for that.

    Wuppo is a platform game with its own distinct look and feel. The story that is told throughout the game is fun, and so is the interaction with the world. There are some minors annoyances while playing, but those do not spoil the fun to be had in Wuppo.

    Lo Wang is back! Shadow Warrior 2 improved the aspects that made its predecessor such a good game to create an even better game in a gorgeous setting. The co-op feature does not work optimally yet, but it is still great fun to hack and slash with others.

    Lara's birthday gets celebrated with a ton of content and the latest game on most platforms. The story drags you in immediately and the action keeps you sharp. But the game never blows you away. Still this is a must play if you like adventuring.

    Reus is a great game that is trying to make a transition to the console. Though it has amazingly addictive gameplay and visuals, the game can be too complex for beginners and lacks decent controls.

    Batman Arkham VR is amazingly cool. Never ever have you been so close to Batman nor Gotham City. The game focuses on puzzling. However the controls are quite simple and straightforward, the story is cool, but way too short.

    A fairly decent rally game. But one that lacks a certain depth that the competition represents. The engine still needs a lot of work, and level design could be more consistent.

    Mortal Kombat XL offers the complete package. All the costumes, characters and stages in one deal. Graphically the game hasn't changed, but with all this content there is a whole lot to do!

    The first moment you play EVE Valkyrie you get this wow-feeling due to the PlayStation VR and surroundings in the game. However the game gets kind of boring after two hours of playing because of the endless repetition of dogfights in space.

    Dragon Quest Builders is a great game which borrows a few features from Minecraft. But with those, it does it's own thing. This creates a game with huge world filled with secrets and hours of gameplay and a few minor misses. Worth every penny!

    WWE 2K17 is a very decent wrestling game, which offers players the true WWE experience through its host of famous wrestlers and its surprisingly layered gameplay.

    Overcooked beautifully combines elements of chaos, coordination and skill to create one of the most original and fun local co-op games of this time.
