    Mini Review DOOM 3: VR Edition (PS4) – An Improved Version of a Solid Game

    Go to hell

    Games not designed with VR first have a tendency to be rather hit-or-miss, but the PSVR adaptation of DOOM 3 – the black sheep of the esteemed shooter franchise – is most definitely a hit.

    Review Oddworld: Soulstorm (PS5) - A Tough Game to Love
