Doc has been fascinated by videogames since before they were fun. He's worked in the games industry as a writer, designer, and tester. VR is something of an obsession for him, and he believes it's the most exciting development in gaming since Pong. His favorite VR games are Superhot, Sairento Untethered, Racket Fury, Skyrim VR, I Expect You to Die, and Beat Saber. His favorite non-VR games are The Witcher 3, Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Resident Evil 4, and Return of the Obra Dinn.

There are moments when you're creeping forward with some friends, checking those corners, acting as a team when there are glimmers of the game Onward should be, but these are swamped by all the mistakes and deficiencies present.
Whilst Shooty Skies Overdrive presents a fun use of VR in a shooter, it doesn't use audio in the way it should, and as such it's a missed opportunity.
Phantom: Covert Ops promises Metal Gear-style gameplay in a kayak, and it delivers, with good pacing, rewarding gameplay and decent options for replayability.
