Definitly fills the "Ace Combat shaped hole" in my heart. Not quiet the same pacing and story telling as Ace Combat but it is a great game in it's own right.

This game is an interesting combination of Racquetball and Breakout. Trying to break all blocks in a set time frame is the goal. To accomplish this task, you can choose between 3 different style of "Bats" (Racquet, Cricket Bat and a kind of "Shield"). All of them work equally well. Next to that, there are a few PowerUps you can get: Extra Lifes, Extra Balls and Bonus Points. On the higher difficulties, there are also negative effects that can hinder you, such as destroying your ball, or making it fly very irregularly. You also have the abilite to extend your Bat to hit balls thar are out of your reach. This is also a nice feature for people who do not have alot of space in their home for VR.
This makes for interesting gameplay and on higher difficulties, a good challenge.

The art style of the game reminds me of Tron and the whole game has a very "Retro" feel to it.
Soundtrack and Music fit the game quiet well and all togehter they make this a very enjoyable experience.

At it's core, a very simple arcad-ish shooter. But it has a few intersting things going for it.
For one, the storytelling is done well and it is funny as hell. The gunplay is fun enough and a good selection of weapons keeps you entertained. For defending, you can either get into cover, dodge or swat bullets out of the air.
From a visual standpoint, the art style looks the part, and the weapons look nice.

There are a few enemy types and bosses, maybe a few more would be nice, but it is decent enough.

Over all, i really enjoyed it, it's a bit more expensive than other VR games but you get a full story, several levels and different game modes. I think it is fair enough.

This review covers the VR portion only!

So do you like cats? Do you like destroying things....with cats? Do you like destroying things with cats and support a charity? Well then i got some good new for you!

This game is bonkers, crazy and an absolute laught to play. Feed your kittens with Caffeine, make the super buff or transform then into living tesla coils and the lead them into battle with the power of a laserpointer (Warning: do not do this at home)! Controlling your cats in VR is super easy and requiers no effort at all.

The overall goal is simple: Destruction! But there are several small subgoals in each level, some require a dash of creativity with your powerups. But most importantly: Wreck havoc!

There is lots of humor and memes in this game for you to discover and it is really fun to cause so much chaos with these cute litte fur balls.

Also as mentioned at the beginning: With the purchase of this game you support the Anti Cruelty Society (http://anticruelty.org/) as a part of the price you paid goes to them. This is a good cause and for the price you pay, you will get enough fun out of this i believe.

Overall, a crazy game i had a good laugh with...and i supported a good cause as well on top, what could i want more?

Cloudborn features an interesting world to explore, full of strange ruins and beautiful nature. Your job is to find the corruption and get rid of it.

The game looks good, the art style fits this kind of game very well. The world is interesting, with ancient ruins overgrown with plantlife and the mysterious corruption spread all over the place.

You get around the level with walking or climbing. The climbing system is solid, grabbing onto things and launching yourself from one ledge to an other is very simple. There is also a fatigue aspect you need to have in mind, otherwise you will loose your grip. This is handeld quiet easily, you just have to hold still for a moment and grab the ledge (or what ever you're hanging on) with both hands to refresh. This basicly forces you to stop every once, which is convenient, since this gives you time to admire the scenery.

Overall this game is simple, but beautiful and is very relaxing to play.

This game is the big VR Brother of Pounch Out!
A wide variety of opponents await you, all with different attack patterns, weaknesses and personalities.
To succeed you will have to recognize the enemy's attacks and counter or dodge appropriately.
The punching feels great, the block mechanic is solid (it prevents you from constantly using block and forces you to be more active and precise) and dodging needs to be done with your whole body and not just with your head,

Next to the story mode, in which you wil fight increasingly more insane enemies, there is also a training mode wher you can practice punch combinations, fast hiting and Hit/Dodge coordination.

The art style is bright and colorful, just like the characters. Voice acting is done very well and overall the atmosphere is wonderfull, you really feel like you're in the ring and fighting for your life!

A word of advice to players who are not that fit (like myslef): This game will tire you out. Your arms and legs will get tired and you'll run out of breath after a few fights, so take a break and drink every once in while ;)

Another interesting feature of this game is the calorie counter: Enter your height and weight at the beginning of the game and it will (more or less accuratly) count how many calories you have burned while playing the game. A nice little feature.

Overall a very enjoyable game!

A simple game about serving customers in fantasy RPG store.

The Story mode gives a nice introduction with a funny narration (poor Dave) that presents your with each new mechanic as you go along. The Thieves, Robbers and different Weapon "Skins" really make the game challenging at late levels.

Speaking of challenging: The special challenge modes are a nice break from the story. Little note here: In the video there was no further introduction to the challenge levels (wich could lead to you not knowing what to do, if the game mechanic in question did not come up in the story yet). This has been changed in recent updates and now you will get a proper introduction to theses levels aswell.

The music fits the game very nicely and all the NPC's speak in some made up fantasy laguage (similar to the one in Sims).

Overall i have to say: this is a fun little game with a simple concept, but well executed.

First impression i got from this is: Jetset Radio meets Mario Kart...in VR.
A fast paced racing game, in which you move your arms like a crazy person to gather speed and out run (or rather out skate) the competition.

The Movement in the game is smooth and the tutorials really make for an easy introduction to this kind of locomotion.
Racing AI or other People is enjoyable and once you get the hang of the movement system and know the tracks, you'll be able to score a victory against your foes.

The tracks look great and really remind me of mario kart: Lots of things going on in the background, traps, powerups...just the right ammount of chaos.

The music fits very well with the game and really helps to convey the right atmosphere.

One thing you'll have to watch out for if you are not a sporty person (like myself): This game will make you sweat, your arms will become tired from swinging them around, so take a breake after a race or two, take a drink and then get ready to sprint again!

Overall very enjoyable!

What this game instantly reminded me of is: Deadspace. Strange creatures trying to kill you, the dark sci-fi atmosphere it's all there. But it's also a bit different, more shooter orientated. Also you have a "companion" that talks to you that provides a bit of funny banter. I myself enjoyed that quiet a bit, but i can see some people disliking it because it might break the horror ambience. The gunplay is satisfying and the "Force pull" mechanic allows for some interesting interactions with items.

The story mode seemed solid enough but i think where the game truly shines is the swarm mode. A kind of wave based survival mode, where you fight of endless hordes of monsters. Here you really need to plan ahead, since you don't find any ammo dropped by enemies. You earn a currency and can buy weapons with ONE mag.
"Now isn't that a bit akward?" you might ask. I don't think so. You earn enought currency every round to buy several weapons. So use your time between rounds to buy as much weapons as possible. Set yourself up with your arsenal in a corner and make your last stand or spread them around the room and use a more "Run and Gun" gamplay style as you run around and force pull new weapons towards you. Oh yeah also empty weapons can be thrown as a kind of grenade. Awesome.

So all in all a pretty decent game and for that price i would say that's more than fair. What i would like to see in the future is multiplayer for Swarm mode. I could imagin it to be quiet entertaining.

So first of: I'm not a DJ. I don't make music or anything i'm a complete noob when it comes to these things.

Vinyl Reality is a Simulator in which you can use DJ equippment to mix/create your own songs and even record them.
For me as a non-DJ the controls where intuitive and easy to understand. The tutorial gives you a good enough overview to get you started.

The game uses songs that are on your computer so you can mix your favorite titles or your own music aswell. There is a decent amount of sliders and buttons to fiddle with to customize your track.

I personally don't know how accurate this simulator is, since i never stood behind a turntable myself, but i know that i had fun with this and even managed to do a little remix of song myself (probably not a good one but what can you do ;) )

If you're a DJ, i can't tell you if this is good or not, but from a noob's perspective i can say: It's a fun little piece of Software and i can imagin a pro could maybe do a Twitch livestream concert for example, mixing his own tracks and stuff. I'm looking forward to what the devs will add to this in the future.
