Very lovely game. Short, but relatable and memorable. The music is lovely and the interactive components are well-designed and flavorful. This is an easy buy in my opinion.

This game is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone who plays VR. SUPERHOT is already a phenomenal series, and bringing the concept into VR makes it 100x better. Those who have never played a SUPERHOT game before will quickly fall in love with this, and anyone who HAS played a SUPERHOT game before will love it even more. The whole point of "being inside the game" that VR provides is demonstrated perfectly here. Never have I felt more "inside the game" than with SUPERHOT VR.

10/10, everyone must play this game!

I tried playing this game 6 years ago, but couldn't find the patience to trek through the Mojave Wasteland.

I finally gave New Vegas another chance, and I had an absolute blast. I was sucked in by the environment and characters, and was able to impose my own will more than I ever expected was possible. It turns out picking every lock, stealing every item, and killing all of my competition is a fun strategy! It's been a long time since I've played a proper 30 hour campaign RPG, but I had a blast, and I know I could have made that campaign even longer if I did more of the side-quests.

There's not much else more I can say here: this game is a ton of fun. I can't wait to play it again.

Holoswitch is a straight-up game changer. It makes life in VR so much easier by being able to connect my phone to the game. The iOS version takes a bit of setting up in order to properly get it running, but each update has made the experience smoother and easier. I cannot recommend Holoswitch enough, this is a MUST BUY for any VR users!

I can say with absolute confidence that this is the greatest gaming experience I have ever had. Half-Life: Alyx is exactly what I would have imagined Half-Life in VR would be, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Every single aspect of what makes Half-Life amazing is here, except dialed up to 11 thanks to the sheer immersion that Virtual Reality provides--I truly felt a part of the Half-Life universe. The environments were grotesquely detailed; I cannot count how many times I would mutter "gross". In fact, this game perfects horror in a way I never could have dreamed. I have never had more experiences of fear as in playing this game. My heartrate was always quick- I was always on edge, and there were so many piss-your-pants moments that I wanted to just stop and never come back. And yet, I had to keep coming back. I couldn't get enough of this game.

Having just finished my first playthrough, I can confidently say that Half-Life: Alyx has already cemented itself as one of my favorite games of all-time, and I cannot wait to jump back in and play it again. I spent $400 just to play this game, and it was every single penny. This game is an absolute MUST. PLAY. 10/10!

I'm a sucker for games where music plays a big role, and I also like playing Bullet Hell games (even if I'm terrible at them). So how could I possibly say no to this?

The best way I can describe Just Shapes & Beats is if Rhythm Heaven and Super Hexagon made a baby. The music and level design are awesome, and every level is chock-full of fast-paced dodging and maneuvering on your part. The campaign mode is short, taking only 3-4 hours to complete, but it sure is a blast. While this game isn't frustratingly difficult, don't be surprised if it takes you a few tries to beat a level, especially the boss fights. The music in those boss fights was so good that I found myself bobbing my head to the beat, which no doubt increased the difficulty!

This game has a great minimalist aesthetic, a cute story, a wicked soundtrack and, most importantly, a really enjoyable gameplay experience. If you enjoy rhythm games or bullet hell/dodge-stuff-type games, I recommend picking this one up.

Charming roguelike with a great soundtrack and difficulty that you'd come to expect from a great roguelike: challenging from the start, but you learn as you go and get better with each playthrough. I have yet to beat the game, but just going through the process of slowly working my way toward better results with has been great. Absolutely recommend picking this up if you love roguelikes!

Just because this game is on sale for $0.19 doesn't make it bad. This is a super fun bullethell, its level design takes inspiration from Ikaruga. Buy this at $0.19, buy this at $4.99

10/10 Murdered everyone I made eye conteact with then died of radiation

The first installment in the amazing Bit.Trip Saga, Beat is a game that at first seemed to just be a fun little pong-type game with an awesome soundtrack, but it then blossomed into a rich, creative series following the story (Yes, these games have story. It's actually pretty deep. Message me if you want to know it, or ask a dev or something. It's hard to find it online) of Commander Video as he takes down evil through various forms. So, on to Beat itself

Beat has 3 levels, like every Bit.Trip game, and is as challenging as all of them. In this game, you take the form of a line that looks like a pong paddle, and you hit "beats", blocking them from going past and sending them back. The game starts off slow, but quickly picks up speed. It's pretty challenging, especially when you try to get a perfect score or go to the highest difficulty. If you're on the verge of buying this, I would say go buy it, odd are you will like it. Now, in the PC version, you control yourself using the mouse to move up and down, and it moves pretty smoothly, but make sure you dont have a crap mouse. In the Wii version, you make your paddle horizontal and tilt it forward and back, which is pretty good, but it's hard to go from PC to Wii, or vice versa. However, if you liked the Wii version and wanna grab it on here, I would recommend it. It also has a mini level that is portal themed, which is cool.

For the Bit.Trip series reviews, I will make a review for both the PC version and the Wii version, since sometimes they don't have the same scores (See my CORE review).

SO, final Scores:

Wii- Pretty fun game, can be hard to tilt your controller JUUUUUUSt right, but still a fun game! 7.8/10
PC- Pretty fun game, not as hard to get it just right, but then again, your mouse could suck. 8/10
Bit.Trip Complete- Check my CORE review for more about the game. 9/10
