Pinball FX3 takes the groundwork laid by its predecessors and continues to raise the bar.
Finding clues can be a bit of a treasure hunt at times, but I never minded as the world was so beautifully brought to life.
The track pads are unbelievably sensitive and movement is done by touching the pad.

The sense of scale, that awe of something you were not expecting to be so grand.
The Way of Kings: Escape the Shattered Plains is the first one that I truly felt like I absolutely needed [a connection to the source material] to enjoy it.
What's there is very good, but only if that's what you are interested in.

Overall, Escape Room VR: Stories does offer up some really excellent puzzles and problems to solve and investigate.
Overall, the Bethesda Pinball DLC is an excellent pack of tables.
Overall Animal Super Squad just isn't all that interesting to play. Why? It simply feels like it's manufactured to try and capitalize on what made certain other games successful for streamers and content creators across the internet.
What's there is good and fun, but it's the few things that aren't there that keep it from being a truly great phenomenon.
Overall I'm really impressed with Gunheart. It's easy to get caught up in the importance of the cross-play aspect, but the game itself is great fun. It's a solid shooter, which some great mechanics and customization that should keep players engaged for quite some time, at the very least long enough to get their money's worth.
It's a mostly enjoyable experience, with a few dull moments here and there, that should keep the majority of players happy. Having a deep management simulation is a matter of perspective after all. To some, this may seem lacking, to others it might seem like there is a lot going on. Either way you see it, it's a good effort at trying to bring the management sim to a bigger audience.
Overall, the appeal of Kingdom Come: Deliverance – From the Ashes might heavily depend on where you are in the game. This certainly is not end-level content. It is somewhere in the middle and when played through, it flows pretty naturally as yet another set of tasks that need to be done.
Overall I think playing Unknown Fate through on a PC with a regular controller really highlighted the elements that were lacking in the game.
The few performance issues aside, it's a game that's hard not to like.
In the end, Star Control: Origins feels like a game that players will either love or hate.
Sometimes the cringe is what sells it, like a train wreck you can't keep your eyes off of. That cringe factor isn't an accident, which leaves you wondering if it's all just a big old trolling of those who have far too much to say about everything. If you're not so serious about everything all the time, though, it's a fun diversion.
Look, there's nothing overwhelmingly wrong with Twilight Path, but it's not treading on new ground either. There's a whole lot of similar VR games to this one and there just isn't much to make it really stand out from the crowd.
