SAME! I've already bailed. Never been a gacha guy and the story is not compelling enough to keep me engaged.

Blimey, Ghost Town just won the ‘Best Game’ award at the Raindance Immersive Festival🥳!
As a small indie studio it means a lot to us seeing Ghost Town getting this kind or recognition, so big thanks to the organisers and judges @raindance.org 🙌

My @polyarcgames.com Discord takeover kicks off in a few hours (6p ET, 3p PT)! 🐭
I'll be chatting with Polyarc's Design Director Chris Bourassa, Senior Artist Kieran Lampert, & Community Manager Kristen Carlisle about Moss, Glassbreakers (mostly), and the state of the #XR ecosystem.
See you soon!
15 - At first, this felt more concerned with MTX than meaningful content, but the last two update after leaving early access remedied that. This game has infinite room for growth from an already rock solid foundation. Great stuff and I hope development continues.
4/5
14 - I loved Vertigo 2, despite some nebulous storytelling. It was jarring after being Sonia for two full games to transition to Brian being the protag, but the gameplay holds up, the level & creature design is still top notch, and it neatly wraps up an at times tough-to-follow plot.
4/5
I’m in the middle of a game rn that has me wanting to make a new “best boss fights in VR” list video. My last one is two years old now. It needs updating.

I don't know how I brainwashed @polyarcgames.com, but they're letting me take over their Discord again to grill, I mean leisurely chat with the team about Glassbreakers! 🐭
Join me next week for a roundtable talking about the new characters and any secrets I can pry out of them. 👀
13 - I grew up in the gaming era this game represents, so I related to this one a bit more than its predecessor. Again, Arvore nails the aesthetics & despite the limited runtime, the gameplay switches things up so often I was dying for more when it was over. Absolutely tremendous.
5/5
12 - Long overdue to play this game-within-a-game gem. Some legitimately challenging platforming and the Matryoshka doll-like set up was terrific. Great boss fights and Arvore nails the aesthetic. Any gamer mid 30s and up will appreciate this kick of nostalgia.
4/5
11 - It's 2025 & a developer thought a VR movement system where you can ONLY move in a straight line & snap turn was a good idea. The admittedly fun horse races are hurt by clunky controls.
With patches, this would be awesome. As is... only cozy or horse loving gamers should apply.
2/5
10 - Civ VII VR - A MESSY VR implementation plus bad onboarding makes this a hard sell for newcomers to the franchise like me. For those starved for this genre in VR, get through the friction & there's something here, but I have a hard time seeing anyone preferring this to the flat game(s).
2/5
9 - The predecessor to my frontrunner for 2025 VRGOTY (Arken Age). Some parts really haven't aged well (stiff NPC & enemy animations, for one), but weapons are fun, combat is passable, & the two boss fights were pretty fun. Worth a grab on a sale.
3/5
8 - Wow, I'm behind. A nice little bit of 'Life Is Strange'-like storytelling marred by a clunky node teleport movement system & some odd rhythm minigame mechanics. Get past the friction and there's a REALLY good story being told here.
3/5
On my Twitch streams, we play a game called 'Guess The Clip' where viewers can win stream currency if they correctly guess the game in the clip from a previous #VR livestream.
Can you name this game? First correct guess gets a cookie!
@kroyvr.bsky.social, you're not allowed to respond.
A bit later than usual but our showcase is back this July!

Last month, I reviewed the #VR story based puzzle game Selina: Mind At Large on my YT channel.
The game is currently on sale for GDC week. The promocode is GDC2025-B1E027 & is good until the 23rd (Sunday) to get 33% off.
Enjoy!

Publisher bizdev people at events like GDC and Dice trying to sign "the next balatro" should realize that, statistically, the developer of "the next Balatro" you need to be talking to isn't at GDC or Dice talking to bizdev guys seeking 2m+ in funding

The latest @vrgamesshowcase.bsky.social is in the books.
I've ranked the entire show from worst to first in this handy recap video. A little something for everyone in this showcase. Great job to the #VRGS team!
