Effecting
Released at a perfect time, with many of us struggling with the confines and uncertainly of lockdown due to COVID-19, Tetris Effect offers up a transportive, accessible and all-consuming slice of puzzling.

CRAP
Endless runner games are usually free-to-play, fun-free cash grabs. But B-Team is in VR and costs money.

Thrilling
From the off, it's clear that Lies Beneath has a very polished presentation. Conveyed in a distinctive cel-shaded, comic-strip fashion, it uses the tropes and framing of a graphic novel to tell its narrative and justify its graphical style.

Buoyant
Freediver: Triton Down attempts something more than the usual 'watching a shark swim past the cage' experiences, offering an exciting narrative married to unique swimming locomotion.

Tricky
Down the Rabbit Hole has a unique look to it, and it's quite lovely. You're in the middle of a 360-degree diorama. It's beautiful to look at and vividly colorful.

Great!
With OhShape you make shapes to fit through holes in virtual walls, pluck coins out of mid-air, and punch through barriers while ducking and strafing to avoid obstacles!

Tense
Despite behaving more like an Oculus Go game, with its limited gameplay making it, essentially, an interactive 360-degree video, walking through the hauntingly hollow hallways of Affected: The Manor has you constantly on edge and ready to take flight if any of those statues so much as blink.
