‘Song in the Smoke’ Review – Thrilling Primeval Danger & Satisfying Crafting
Song in the Smoke is a prehistoric-flavored survival game that puts a clever, but not incredibly deep crafting system at its core. Far from damning, this introduces the sort of gameplay friction that will always leave you with just enough useable resources to move forward, but never enough to be comfortable as you explore the game’s […]

Despite some earnest attempts at worldbuilding, the end result is a thin and superficial theme park ride that bears a fleeting resemblance to its flashy promo trailer. Rhythm of the Universe: Ionia Details: […]

‘I Expect You to Die 2’ Review – A Worthy Sequel to VR’s Deadliest Spy Puzzler
I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar is a single-player puzzle game that, true to its name, is a direct extension of the hit spy-flavored VR puzzler launched in 2016, tasking you again to foil the evil machinations of the shadowy Zoraxis corporation.

Stride’s single player modes are fun arcade affairs which offer just […]

‘YUKI’ Review – a Nostalgic Shot of VR Bullet Hell Madness
Much like the ‘Xortex’ mini-game in Valve’s The Lab, ARVORE’s latest roguelike shooter YUKI taps into a veritable reservoir of nostalgia as you guide a pint-size action figure by hand through a seemingly impenetrable miasma of laser particles and moving obstacles. YUKI captures that child-like fun I first rekindled in ‘Xortex’, but ignites it on a much grander scale. It’s […]
