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.

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.

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.

Zero Caliber: Reloaded simply isn't good enough for me to recommend wholeheartedly, but I find myself drawn to play it despite this.

Jurassic World Aftermath is the latest videogame in a number of movie tie-ins. Like the later entries in the film series itself, most have eluded critical success but are pretty popular nonetheless.

In Myst, there are locations to explore, books to read and switches and levers to pull, all opening up more of the same and revealing greater mysteries.

Above Average
It might have its feet in the real world, with grimy war-torn present-day environments and realistic weapons, but Contractors VR deliberately aims for a more immediate, Call of Duty-esque style of play.
