The Good

Very nice looking with the whole visuals throughout, it never got boring in terms of that. I liked the retro feel to it over all and the graphics topped it all off! I like the way they used the text adventure game as it really added to the retro feel and the story itself. The soundtrack was limited but very good indeed, I just kept thinking of Stranger Things though haha! Voice acting was surprisingly good, I definitely wasn't expecting it to be that well done never mind having it voice acted at all. Story overall was great, I can't say more than that as it would just spoil it. I was a bit unsure about the ending as it seemed like a cop out but the more I thought about the other episodes the more I became accepting of it.

The Bad

Honestly, there isn't much to say. I feel like it was very short but I can't see it being any longer. The ending like I said above was lacking but made sense overall with the interlinking episodes. One thing that pissed me off to all ends was the bright strobe light, I honestly think there should be a warning at the start for flashing lights. It gave me a slight headache.

Overall

Wow, just what a game, I got this in the monthly and I'm so glad I played this. To be honest, I see it has a game I was curious about and was an easy 100% but... wow it was truly a memorable game! I would give it a 4.5 but I thought that I'd round it up cause I'm feeling good! I highly recommend that everyone plays it. Gameplay is lacking but they surprised me with how much game play there actually was. I also heard that the devs are working on more :O


Batman™: Arkham VR ❤❤❤♡♡

The Good

In terms of VR this is one of the first AAA games with stunning graphics. Voice acting was amazing although limited. I liked the little gameplay there was, some detective puzzles, mini games etc. There are some achievements to get still and once you beat it once there are Riddler challenges to do!

The Bad

Well, like a lot of VR games its "not worth the money" and a lot of people refund it because it can be beaten within the 2 hour period. I feel this is morally wrong but whatever. I did not idle this and there is probably another hour or 2 left to do things but there is no "replay value." It is more of a demo than anything but its a bloody good demo that I got on 50%. People say it is more of an experience than anything and I would agree but I don't say it as a bad thing. Pacing is a little slow but picks up near the end. I rather enjoyed the end and Ally had a good chuckle at me jumping as there were a few intense scenes!

Overall

Well, this "demo" is a rather good "demo" and I would recommend it if you have the cash and of course a VR headset but its not the best out there. There are a lot of games in this price range that will give more hours to your buck if thats what you are after. However, if you like taking your time to explore, you enjoy the batman world or just want a fun little game to keep you busy for a few hours then I recommend this. Its not for everyone but I definitely enjoyed it!


Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality ❤❤❤❤♡

The Good

Very funny of course if that is your sort of humour. Graphically goes hand in hand with the cartoon, not much to say there. Gameplay is repetitive but fun as there is a lot of stuff to do. It lets you explore and find easter eggs etc without feeling forced to follow along with the pacing. Puzzles are alright, mini games were very fun (I got the 100 kills in the shooter achievement which was great.) They actually joke with you in the end about the devs being amazing for adding replayability which was hilarious along with the comics about VR being a gimmick and a flop! Story was typical Rick and Morty so it was just fun and hilarious. It was cool to experience it in VR really. They got some of the actors to voice the characters which was great, sometimes I would just stand there and let the dialog dry up as I enjoyed the lines they had!

The Bad

Well... I guess I have to say this again but its a short game. Although if you rush it it can be under the refund time and if you take your time to find everything you can be 5 hours and I'm not even finished with collectibles and mini games. I will say that I wish there were more characters involved and more of the world to explore but I was okay with what there was. There wasn't much of a tutorial so I actually didn't know how to answer calls on my "apple watch" type thing until a few minutes in when I accidentally figured it out.

Overall

If you are a fan of the show then this is a VR game to buy! I had a lot of fun and will definitely go back to play it again to 100%. Sure its not a game to replay but honestly I'm fine with that along with all the non-replayable non-VR games that I own and have played. Its a lot of fun to be had in an afternoon and most of the time I really don't enjoy playing VR for long periods of time, especially standing as my back and lil feet get sore. Anyway, I recommend it!

I was busy most of the day but had some free time, so I started checking BLAEO. Now you’ve made me want to install and check out Stories Untold, I picked it up in the monthly too but never got around to playing it.
As for the other 2 games I can’t see myself be able to afford VR stuff any time soon, but I hope I’ll at least get to try it sometimes. I don’t remember the name but I heard a couple of “escape room” games are really good :3

Honestly, its not much GB to install and its very short! They say its 30 minutes an episode with 4 episodes but I was quicker I think. Its sooo good!

I hope you get VR in the future then, I’m sure it will go down in price and especially as newer models come out. Yeah I’ve been lookig at a few escape room type games. Played Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes on Ally’s account with friends and liked it so more stuff like that is always welcome :3
