Mini Review Tennis On-Court (PSVR2) - Solid Gameplay Surrounded by Technical Issues
Double fault
The first thing that happened to us upon launching Tennis On-Court was a hard crash. Even before we saw the main menu, we were on the error report screen. The game would only crash a couple more times, but it was a worrying start. Worse than the crashes is an annoying bug where, if you hit the tennis ball at just the right angle, it'll...

Review Firewall Ultra (PSVR2) - Flawed VR Shooter Misses the Mark
Tactical tedium
It felt a little strange booting up Firewall Ultra for the first time.
