‘Star Wars Vader Immortal: Episode 3’ Review – All’s Well That Ends Well
ILMxLAB has finally released the concluding episode of Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series. While I'm sad to see the series go, which has exemplified high-quality VR production, I can't help but feel a tad let down at what could...
‘Espire 1: VR Operative’ Review – Solid Snake, But Rough Around the Edges
For better or worse, so far Konami has shown zero interest in bringing its long and storied Metal Gear series to VR. But if you're looking to scratch that stealth combat itch with more than a flair for superhuman acrobatics, you...
‘Stormland’ Review – The New Bar for VR Open-world Adventure
With Stormland, Insomniac Games set out to figure out if an open-world adventure game could really work in VR. The result? Not just 'the new bar', but a rather high one at that (not to mention one of VR's first great co-op games).

‘Pistol Whip’ Review – Shooting for the Flow State
Formerly known for its linear, story-driven VR adventure series The Gallery, Pistol Whip is a surprising shift for Cloudhead Games into VR's rhythm and shooting genres. Surprising as it may be, the studio makes a strong case for fusing the two,...
‘Asgard’s Wrath’ Review – VR’s Epic Norse Saga of Godlike Proportions
Sanzaru Games made some pretty big claims about Asgard's Wrath when it was first revealed earlier this year, calling it their “deepest title yet” and promising 30+ hours of first-person combat, dungeoning, and all of the RPG goodness you could hope...
‘Star Wars Vader Immortal – Episode 2’ Review – Shorter Story, Awesome Dojo Action
The second installment of Star Wars: Vader Immortal is here, the narrative-based VR adventure that tosses you back into Darth Vader's mysterious Imperial fortress situated on the lava planet Mustafar. Like the first episode, which we gave a respectable...
‘Groundhog Day VR’ Review – a Little Tedious but a Lot of Heart
Words I never thought I would say: the iconic '90s film Groundhog Day (1993) finally has a sequel ... and it's a VR game. Although I don't think anything can live up to the original—game, film, or otherwise—Groundhog Day: Like Father Like...
‘Battlewake’ Review – Explosive Nautical Combat in Need of Deeper Waters
Battlewake is a pirate ship combat game that seems to have it all; not only does it boast a campaign for both solo and two-player co-op, but also online PvP and a co-op 'ongoing missions' mode—certainly nothing to sneeze at in...
‘Until You Fall’ Early Access Review: VR Hack & Slash, with Depth
Until You Fall is something of an unexpected title for Schell Games. For a studio which has previously focused on education and puzzle based VR games, Until You Fall brings a surprisingly rich combat experience which successfully fuses meta-game elements in...
‘No Man’s Sky’ VR Review – A Wonderful, Deeply Flawed Space Odyssey
Beyond the known world is a galaxy of infinite exploration and endless possibility. That is, of course, until you meet your end at the whim of an angry detachment of Sentinels, or breathe in too many atmospheric toxins and...
‘Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot’ Review – a Nazi-Killing Mech Game Cut Short
As a storied franchise, Wolfenstein games serve as undeniable vehicles for kicking Nazi butt, the most recent of which have taken on alternate history narratives that place resistance fighters in the heart of a prolonged Nazi occupation. And while Wolfenstein:...
‘Gadgeteer’ Early Access Review – Tinker to Your Heart’s Content
In all the time I’ve spent mucking around in Oculus Home and Rec Room—both physics-based sandbox environments that promise to let me do as I please in VR—I always felt like there was a significant time gap involved with...
‘Defector’ Review – Action Movie Thrills Wrapped in a Standard Arcade Shooter
When I first heard about Defector I was excited to see what essentially amounted to Mission Impossible coming to VR—the laughably improbable, overblown action that makes you feel like a true badass. And while there are some choice slices of...
‘Fujii’ Review – A Serene Journey Ripe With Discovery
Channeling Journey (2012) and Viva Piñata (2006), albeit at a smaller scale, Fujii is a game about exploration and gardening with a dash of discovery. That's not to say that you'll be exploring epic landscapes or saving the world by discovering long-lost knowledge in...
