SpellPunk VR
I am not into writing reviews but I think that SpellPunk is underestimated, that is why I decided to say something about it. I truly enjoy this game. It is hard to find a good spellcasting vr game with beautiful graphics, working controls and entertaining gameplay. SpellPunk has all of these. The game is super immersive. I truly admire that its developers have gone the extra mile giving us the possibility to play with a full-body avatar instead of the usual flying hands. This feature makes me feel like I am a pure-blood magician. I can’t find the words to explain the feeling of winning a magical duel after successfully casting your spells. I feel even more powerful than a Harry Potter wizard, because I don’t even need a wand. How amazing is this?

TLDR; Worth supporting, but a long way to go.
This game is a work in progress, there are definitely some wrinkles that need to be ironed out. Having said that, there is a lot of charm to the concept of core gameplay. I feel like there’s a lot of potential and while you may not love the game now, it could grow into something special with support. There are a lot of problems that I will lay out so while I am giving it my recommendation, it’s current state may not satisfy you. Here we go.

8/10
Well made small little title. Just try it out it is worth your time. Could really benefit from the adventure mode and the customization but it’s fun to play with friends.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition
This game has aged well and still stands on its own merits, even with Injustice 2 available. A fun, casual friendly fighter with a decent story and good overall direction. The characters all look and feel great. In truth, I prefer this to the sequel in a lot of ways. That said, this recommend comes with some hefty caveats:
1. S.T.A.R. Labs is a set of hundreds of side-missions added to the game to pad its length. They generally involve either a flash-game quality arcade style minigame or a semi-normal fight with your arms tied behind your back and/or major RNG components. They are godawful, but there’s an achievement tied to completing them all with the best score possible (but only requires completing 240/300 missions since the last 60 are DLC), so they’re unavoidable if you’re an achievement hunter. I can’t express enough how terribly designed and balanced this aspect of the game is and it was almost enough for me to leave a negative review. Grinding them out is a truly awful gameplay experience, which I think the devs realized since the skins we’d normally have to unlock there come pre-unlocked in this version.

“Gods Among Us: Anyone can be a Hero”
Fighting games have long since descended from their all-conquering dizzying heights (in the 80’s and 90’s) to become almost a niche genre, as both games and gamers diversify. Within this evolving landscape, ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us (The Ultimate Edition)’ manages to brawl its way into contention as a polished, well crafted fighter, that despite its issues, is a fine addition to any Fight Game enthusiast’s collection.
Campaign: Released in late 2013, NetherRealm | Warner Bros. follow up on the commercial success of ‘Mortal Kombat: The Komplete Edition’ by essentially replicating that game within the DC Comics universe. The ‘Campaign’ mode follows the story arc from the ‘Injustice’ comic books, wherein a crazed Joker has killed Lois Lane and detonated a nuclear device in Metropolis. The game picks up with an enraged Superman asserting martial law over the planet and slowly turning from protector to oppressor. Narrated through well conceived animated cut-scenes and interspersed with 1-on-1 battles, gamers assume control of all their favorite characters as well as some others they might not have been so inclined to. The usual suspects are all here – from Batman, Superman, The Joker, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Green Arrow and Bane to a host of newer faces like Doomsday, Solomon Grundy, Frost, DeathStroke and Aquaman. A variety of Single Player Arcade-style Tournaments, Challenges, and lots of unlockable comic lore round out a content-rich title.

Horror Legends
Horror Legends is an intelligent 5v1 asymmetrical horror game with great atmosphere and a comic book vibe. The base game has 8 Cast members and 8 Legends each with their own unique stats, abilities, and playstyles. It’s different from the other horror asymms because you don’t rely on perks and add-ons for mechanical advantage. The players provide the skill instead of the progression system.
There’s a great deal of depth to the gameplay for those willing to invest the time. Each Legend is unique in both appearance and gameplay which heavily rewards mastery. The Cast members must work together to complete objectives and escape, or they can kill the Legend to end the match. This creates variety in how each match plays out.

This game is surprisingly fun and I think with some more polish and content could be a solid addition to the asymmetrical horror market. It reminds me a lot of Friday the 13th: The Game before that game tanked. The killer (called “Legends”) are very powerful and similar to F13 they can kill you quickly if you’re under-resourced but with the right tools you won’t go down without a fight.
While playing the other night, I found myself crouched in the corner of a closet holding a kitchen knife above my head as something started breaking down the door to the room I was in and having to make the decision to stay put and hide or to smash the window in the room and climb out to flee and the whole scenario reminded me of old cheesy-but-classic horror movies that everyone loves.

Titeuf: Mega Party
Decent game to play with friends. Story a bit annoying when you don’t know what to do, since the game doesn’t tell you much, but the minigames are actually worth it.

ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3
UMvc3 pros
-
It has some cool characters people wanted to play as in a fighting games for ages like dante and arthur and stuff
-
It’s easier so you don’t need to worry about things like tricky finger puzzles or blocking or thinking in order to win sometimes and that’s good because everyone wants to win
-
I like the little pie chart showing you how much of a scrub you are
-
It looks really good, while capcom cut so many corners on this game it’s a circle, they didn’t scimp on the animation. there’s even small things like characters moving their eyes to follow each-other and people having mist breath on the snow stage

It’s Mahvel. It’s also MT Framework, so the port is great. The netcode isn’t the best but I’ve heard that’s a problem across the board with all of the re-released MVC3 ports. Playing it on PC with higher FPS than console and in a crisper resolution is a treat.
Bit of cons first -
I will warn you - as someone who played the game semi-competitively in it’s hayday, the online is not very welcoming. You will get trashed by people that have had over 5 years to practice and play. As with any fighter, there’s a strong learning curve and UMVC3 is the definition of “touch of death” combos. The game is very, very fast in comparison to other fighters. Because of that, it’s easy to get frustrated and it can absolutely be considered a flaw. I don’t want to act like this game’s perfect - it’s not. Vergil is still in the game and it’s more or less unpatched since the last update we had on consoles. There’s alot of broken things in the game, I would not pick this up expecting the world’s most balanced and competitive game.

Bad Apples
Bad Apples is a multiplayer survival action game featuring fruits that ripen over time. You can play online against up to 4 players.
As the fruits ripen and their gauge rises, their status (speed, attack, defense, etc.) changes. You can speed up the ripening speed of your opponent by shooting gas from you at them. If it is too ripe, it will rot, but the strength of the gas you release will increase.
Use items, attacks, and special moves at the right time to defeat the other fruits and survive! (Who’s the strongest bad fruit?)
Injustice™ 2
General Information
Injustice 2 is my second fighting game ever, the first being MKX. The game plays very similar, with some slight differences such as the clashing system replacing the breaker system, and the blocking system all together. You’ll like Injustice 2 if you enjoy other NRS fighters.
MICROTRANSACTIONS
Since microtransactions are currently a hot topic in the gaming community, I thought I would mention how microtransactions impact Injustice 2, and the gameplay.
– Real player with 1214.3 hrs in game
You like DC characters? You like fighting games with deep mechanics? Then this is the game for you.
Injustice 2 is an EXCELLENT fighting game. The mechanics are quite similar to Injustice: Gods Among Us but definetly have been improved. I like to think of Injustice 2 as an alternative updated version of Mortal Kombat X just with new additions. Speaking of that Injustice 2 does offer some new things such as, the gear system, a loot box system, (which is actually done really damn well) multiverses, and having the AI to play battles for you.

RICO: London
Rico 2 is a sequel to the first Rico that not a lot of people played, but the ones who did, did mostly enjoy. The game for me was and still is pretty fun for what it is and i do recommend it, despite a few problems that it carries.
In terms of story, it’s just like the first game (which means: SKIP). I like the art style, i think that real XIII style graphics (Cell shaded) are not used enough and i find it charming in this game, which also has a bigger verity of environments and a bigger attention to detail. sound design is nothing special, does what it needs to but nothing memorable.
– Real player with 14.6 hrs in game
RICO 2: London has an amazing art style, a classic rogue cop premise and good voice acting. All of that is weighed down to its death by a boring loop system, the same soundtrack played over and over and over again, a needlessly complicated weapon system and enemies who are laughably bullet spongey for zero reason.
Don’t buy this game.
