There's not much more I can say about I Expect You To Die 3 without spoiling something. And there's very little I feel I can criticise about it, because it does everything it sets out to do with style and finesse.

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.
Another Fisherman's Tale is an original game with a lot of heart, and some things about it will make you smile. Narrative stodge and unwieldy storytelling get in the way of both the gameplay and the tale it's actually trying to tell.
Propagation: Paradise Hotel is a well-made tribute to classic survival horror, with neat gunplay, solid mechanics, some great puzzles and magnificent amounts of atmosphere.
Bonelab is a howlingly empty, malformed experience. Yes, in terms of the possibilities that may present themselves with modding in the future, it's a little more promising, but the same could be said of VR Chat, and that's free.
Whilst by this point, the post-apocalyptic Russian setting is in danger of becoming a familiar trope, the distorted reality of Into the Radius presents a slightly fresher take on it.
Little Cities is a delightful city builder that does everything well. It has crisp graphics, an interface tailored for VR, and finds a comfortable home on Quest.
Cities VR is its own worst enemy. It's technically challenged, has a confusing tutorial and a cumbersome control scheme, and simply doesn't feel at home in VR.
There isn't a single thing about Zenith as it stands that seems fleshed out or well-realised, or really anything other than a placeholder.
Every scene in Resident Evil 4 has been rethought by perceptive, talented people with enough respect and love for the original to make sure it comes to Quest in its best light.
The lack of feedback for blowing stuff up is a bizarrely common flaw in many modern shoot-em-ups, and Yuki is probably the worst offender I've played.
There is a distinct and rewarding whiff of quality to Sniper Elite VR from the moment it loads. Good, crisp, and well-designed menus make it quite clear that the developers have taken things seriously.
Zero Caliber: Reloaded simply isn't good enough for me to recommend wholeheartedly, but I find myself drawn to play it despite this.
