Dispatch is off to a very engaging start with the first two episodes, and I am pretty damn glad I didn't just wait until all episodes are out. The hook to keep me going is sunk deep inside my mouth.

Jedi: Survivor is a worthy follow-up to Jedi: Fallen Order in just about every stretch of the imagination. The moment-to-moment gameplay is satisfying, the improvements its made over Fallen Order feel like well though-out inclusions, and the story ends on a satisfying note that also leaves the writer's door open if they would like to continue this story further.

The PC version definitely suffers from performance issues. While they were not enough to deter me from enjoying the game, the worst I experienced were inconsistent frame rates. As other reviews have mentioned, consider playing this on a console, if you are able.

Very simple and relaxing game. Catch fish alongside strangers, sell fish to upgrade your fishing gear to be more efficient and catch better fish. At $5, it's a steal.

Cool short game with pretty unique gameplay. I purchased this game pretty blindly & randomly, and it was worth every penny & minute spent on it.

Lethal Company is the horror genre in its purest form. Your initial lack of knowledge is your biggest enemy. You delve into unknown planets to achieve a vague objective while keeping away from unknown entities (assuming none of the game is spoiled for you!)

Just be sure to play with a good group of friends whom you already know. I can't imagine how maddening Lethal Company would be to play with randos.

(tl;dr Pavlov isn't worth it, buy Contractors instead for VR multiplayer shooter needs)

Pavlov VR was once the dominant VR multiplayer shooter to play. I believe it is now long since past its prime.

For every VR shooter game to release and innovate within the VR scene (H3VR, Contractors, Into The Radius,) Pavlov VR continues to feel more antiquated & stagnant. As of this review, mod support was absolutely gutted in favor of crossplay with PSVR2 players. No shade to PSVR users, I hope their inclusion to the Pavlov scene will be a net positive for the game in the long run. But it cannot be understated how essential mods were for the life of this game. This game was like the Counter-Strike: Source of VR- mods went pretty hard and breathed much life into Pavlov. And just like CS:S, it's not worth your time unless you're playing with mods.

Pavlov continues to fall behind its competition. There's shockingly little quality of life. You let go of your grip buttons by mistake? Too bad, your gun is on the ground now- unlike every other VR shooter where your gun just goes back to your chest or holster. Performance continues to be an issue no matter how beefy your system is. Younger kids dominate the game's playerbase (though this is a VR issue in general, and a subjective one at that.)

I genuinely believe Pavlov is not worth your time or money. Any positives of this game can be found in other multiplayer VR shooters, such as Contractors, and are done much better elsewhere. Buy Contractors instead.

Deep Rock Galactic is an excellent co-op game that always leaves me with the "just one more game" effect every time I finish a mission. Very rewarding cooperative experience & plenty of variation between each mission, filled with charm and humor. It's absolutely worth your time.

This game feels like you're playing through an episode of SpongeBob, and I mean that in the best way possible. The game looks nice, sounds nice, and movement-wise feels great to play. The dialogue and gags are funny, and remind me of stuff we would hear & see from a Season 3 episode of SpongeBob.

Does this game redefine the 3D platforming genre? No. Does it HAVE to? Also no! The Cosmic Shake is just a joy to play, and feels like a true & worthy follow-up to Battle for Bikini Bottom almost 20 years after that game's original launch.

Short campaign, but After The Fall is incredibly fun, and there's lots of replay value if you're willing to commit to the grind-heavy adventure of unlocking skins & weapon attachments to gear up for higher difficulties. You almost definitely need friends to join that grind though, I cannot imagine how maddening pubs/randos are in this game.

In the current gaming landscape of devs trying to make the longest, most ambitious, and most graphically intensive games on the planet, Stray is a very pleasant break from what you may normally expect from a game. It's short, full of passion, impressive, and pretty damn adorable. If you're a cat lover, you'll see the attention to detail in the behaviour & animation of the cat shine very brightly. The devs made sure you're getting a fantastic experience here. For me, it's an experience I'll never forget.
