Danger Scavenger
Cautiously Recommend–Feels Very Much Unfinished
Stumbled upon this a few days back, wishlisted it and bought it today on a whim really digging the music and look the game has. Sometimes you strike out, sometimes you hit paydirt. This is paydirt, a diamond in the rough that after time can be awesome.
It’s VERY rough around the edges and definitely could use lots more polish but it’s highly addictive and the fun factor is very strong if you can get past the many nuances that hold this game back from being amazing.

Read More: Best Bullet Hell Roguelike Games.
I’ve written a fairly neutral preview for this game on Gamer Escape, which you can find here: https://gamerescape.com/2020/06/29/preview-danger-scavenger/ . At that time, the game had just switched from being official release to Early Access to address the user feedback based on the mixed steam reivew score (At Gamer Escape we do not do scored reviews for Early Access games)
Within days, the devs for this game have already gone to work with their stated goal: Make the game more appealing to both the twin-stick shooter fans and the roguelike fans whom both had issues with how these mechanics were combined. They have added “Arcade Mode”, which removes the roguelike permadeath mechanics, but also in this mode, each character starts from a different tower, so you get more of a distinct experience with each character in this mode. While it kind of comes off as just a lowered difficulty setting, it does open the game up to a lot of people who find the punishing nature of the roguelike style more frustrating than fun.

Hand Cannon Virtuoso
This is one of those hidden VR gems that deserves more attention and praise. This game offers a high skill ceiling, with fast, and easy to understand mechanics. It fully takes advantage of the medium and format of VR, and it feels like a full game and not just a tech demo, despite still being in early access.
The main game play is that of a shooter. However, instead of just running and gunning, you have rockets on your wrists, allowing you to jump, fly, glide, and even dash your way through the rooms. This fast, yet tight and responsive flying system, gives the game an immense speed to its main game play. However, this does mean it may not be the best first time VR experience as you move so quickly, but I have never personally experienced any dizziness or nausea from the game.

DISCLAIMER
I am very close to the developer and have been heavily involved in alpha/beta testing for this game, so I am VERY biased :)
That said - as evidenced by playtime I think this game is a lot of fun.
My favorite parts are:
-
Locomotion is pretty unique relative to other VR games I’ve played. It looks fast paced but actually does not really cause me any issues with motion sickness. I think having to wave your arms around to control your thrusters helps with motion sickness.
-
The game is more than a tech demo - I find it fun and highly replayable with a lot of cool content to keep me interested. There are tons of weapons, enemies, and tactics to learn

Relic Hunters Zero: Remix
with the new update, new bugs have arrived that alter gameplay. I have been a long-time fan of this game, but over the 3 games of endless I have played today with the new update, my approval rating has gone down. originally, if you or an enemy threw a grenade, it would be visible 100% of the time from throw to explosion, but now some enemy grenades thrown by ducks will become invisible land mines. I’m not sure this was intentional, but it still occurs. likewise, when a body spills out loot like bounty, ammo, and sometimes scrap, some items' icons will fly down to the bottom of the screen, dissapearing from view, but the item will still in the game, just invisible. also, grenade throwing animations have slowed significantly, and sometimes the ducans won’t even fight the kami, just sitting still until you approach. i would enjoy a fix of these bugs and maybe an increase in drop rate of the new scrap currency, because upgrades are now few and far between, making combat significantly harder.

The very fact that this game is free, there is nothing stopping you from giving this game your time, and trust me, it warrants it. Do you like arcade-style gameplay? Done. Fast-paced run-n'-gun action? Absolutely. Addictive levels of replayability? Triple check. tl;dr at the bottom.
The main plot is easy enough to follow: You’re a Relic Hunter, and you hunt relics. Simple enough, right? One hitch: the asteroid you’re on is teeming with vicious wildlife and cutthroat thugs. The solution? Shoot everything that moves.

Island Domination
An extremely short game that might be worth a couple of dollars but at it’s current price I really cannot recommend it considering how many decent games you can buy on sale for the same price.
GRAPHICS:
Graphics are fairly decent as it has been made in CryEngine, the same engine used for Crysis but there are a couple of textures that look very off, like your characters hand looks like it’s low resolution covered in some sort of disease ridden blisters.
For some reason the main AR weapon also has a low resolution texture.

Tower of Doom
Edit - There is a game-breaking bug where the game does not register that all the mobs have been killed so youree left standing in the middle of an open map with nothing going on. The game has no pause or menu button so the only way to fix this bug is to restart the game through the VR menu etc. This bug happens mostly on the first level but it happens on others rarely. I have encountered it roughly 25% of my runs.
These other reviews are full of poo. Buy this.
Tower of Doom is a great arcade game. It would appear these other reviewers dont understand the mechanics of the game. (scroll to the end for gameplay tips and observations)

pretty sweet game! The guns kinda give me a borderlands vibe since they have rng stats/abilities. The enemies have a good amount of differences to them in appearance and types and there’s even more types of guns. I really like how you can keep upgrading your weapon to make it last longer and that you have 4 weapon turret spots to place guns you want to keep or to put a new gun while you’re working on upgrades for it. I think it has potential for lots more too! ( i’d love to see more boss or mini boss encounters.)

Don’t Crash - The Political Game
I can finally begin my training to kill trump! (only joke)
Amazing game 10/10
Worth spending 1.6 euros on!
This is actually one of the most fun and original games i have played in a long time, big respect to the dev.

I recommend it, but just be warned; there is NO BIG BIDEN. This is a major disappointment. There is no actual final boss, only small Bidens. This makes the last level quite anticlimactic and is disappointing. However, the first three levels had an ingenious story line and plot, and the progression was absolutely awesome. Would recommend.
TL;DR - 3/4 Good, 1/4 Bad
