Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Pursuers make the game suspenseful

•••
One of the boss enemies patrols most areas. If they spot you, they will chase you and try to kill you. It's hard to tell where they'll be, because it's very easy to lose track of them. This causes you to shudder every time you open a door or turn a corner. It's even worse when they...

Interesting story and characters

•••
It's a lot of fun to uncover why the Baker family went mad and what happened to your missing girlfriend. The various memos, diary entries, and video tapes explain the events leading up to this. It should be enjoyable for both horror fans and other players as well.

Intense boss fights

•••
Even though the boss fights are packed with action, they also make you feel a bone-chilling helplessness. For example, in one of the fights you're trapped in the slaughterhouse. The door's locked and the boss is slowly walking towards you. One wrong move and you'll be decapitated by a c...

Regular enemies are very bland

•••
The regular enemies are black goo people with claws. They have hardly any variation and even the crawling variants aren't very scary. It's really disappointing the developers didn't think to use any alligators (or other swamp creatures), with the game being set near a swamp.

Branching story based on choices adds replayability

•••
The Inpatient is a prequel to Until Dawn, and as such, it utilizes the same type of "Butterfly Effect" story system. While roaming the halls of the Blackwood Sanatorium, there are several major events in which the player must make a choice. Depending on which choice is made, the story wi...

The Playstation Move controller acts as a flashlight in-game

•••
If you're controlling the game with the Playstation Move controller, it acts as a flashlight which can be used to light up dark hallways and pan your light around rooms during exploration. It gives the sensation of holding a real flashlight in your hands as you search the many darkened areas wi...

Audio design is very immersive

•••
The game utilizes 3D binaural audio to great effect and goes to great length to make the player feel like they are in the game world. Voices, growls, and screams sound like they are coming from behind you when they are, in fact, behind you. Sound effects appear on your left or right depending on w...

Utilizes VR well to create a very scary experience

•••
The Inpatient utilizes the fact that it's a VR game to it's advantage. In most horror games, you can simply cover your eyes and ears during moments of pure terror. However, this experience is delivered via VR which means you're locked into the action at all times and can't look awa...

Very short length

•••
The game only takes around 2 to 2.5 hours to play through in it's entirety.

Memory transistions are too bright

•••
When a memory is discovered, the transition into the memory involves a very bright, flashing white light that may hurt the eyes of light sensitive players. It's something to be aware of if you suffer from epilepsy or a related condition.

Seeing a different ending requires playing the entire game again

•••
There is no saving system at branching story paths, so if you want to see a different ending you will have to play through the entire game again from start to finish.

Very linear

•••
While some optional side rooms exist, most of the game is a walk from point A to point B, and the game doesn't stray too far from this simple formula.

Battlezone

Simple yet striking graphics make the game more enjoyable

•••
The simplicity of the graphics belies how crisp and clean they are. There's no invisible walls you'll have to deal with, and nothing like random pebbles you'll collide with and be unable to move. You won't get frustrated dealing with the little things like that that drive you crazy...

Very entertaining to play online with friends

•••
Battlezone is fast, frantic, and completely addictive. You and up to 3 friends team up and just go to town on the enemy. It's incredibly fast-paced, and games last for only a few minutes, making it easy to squeeze in short sessions.

You can pick and choose which weapons to use instead of being told what you've got to play with

•••
From the newly released rail gun to things like rocket launchers and EMPs, there's a huge array of weapons to equip yourself with.

Total immersion via the VR headset

•••
Battlezone really drags you into the game on account of the VR headset. While it may look cartoony and a little plain, it makes you feel like you're in a tank, blasting your enemies away, which is all kinds of entertaining.
Ryan
Top Pro

Relentless gameplay that will be fun for hours

•••
Battlezone is a first-person shooter, one where you're always on the attack. There's always some enemy tank out there to get you, and it's your job to bring it down. The fast-paced nature of the game makes it really fun to play, and will keep you from getting bored too easily.

Single player is a little boring

•••
The single player mode of the game is great for learning controls and getting used to the display of your screen, but it lacks any meaningful story.

Combined with the Aim Controller, Farpoint is one of the most immersive FPS games on the market

•••
Farpoint is a FPS in a league of its own, due in large part to it's optional peripheral, the PS Aim Controller. The PS Aim Controller is a gun-type controller, only vaguely shaped like any actual type of firearm. Within the game, holding the controller makes you feel as though you are actual...

An interactive approach to the narrative

•••
Throughout the game you will encounter holographic fragments -- using your PS Aim controller, you must scan these fragments from top to bottom. After fully scanning the fragments, a recreation of the events, pertaining to the subject of each hologram fragment, plays out before your eyes.

Amazing Virtual Reality FPS

•••
Using the PS VR Aim Controller to shoot and kill the tiny space spiders flying at your head just feels cool.

The PS Aim tracking can be frustrating

•••
The tracking on the PS Aim Controller is often difficult to get situated properly. Poor tracking on the gun can break the feeling of immersion that makes this game so appealing. That being said, when it is set up correctly, it feels excellent.

Shortage of boss fights

•••
The game has an extremely limited amount of boss-battles.
