Doom Eternal is an fantastic example of a perfectly balanced combat system in an FPS game. With a little practice you can enter a state of flow being able to mow down demons in a stellar coordinated dance of shooting demons, switching weapons, dashing, punching and jumping.
If you are an experienced FPS player you WILL absolutely love the way Doom Eternal feels. Once you learn how to use each weapon on each demon and understand a few key mechanics such as quickswitching to avoid cooldowns and keeping movement going, nothing will be able to stop you.

The game rewards players for taking risks by getting in close with demons to replenish ammo, health and armour. It does this by introducing new combat and movement mechanics to raise the skill-ceiling on top of the already stellar Doom (2016). The dash is a much appreciated mechanic increasing the pacing of the game and allowing players to traverse the arenas in a much more interesting way. Getting in close with the shotgun and dashing out again, flame belching and nading on a group of small fodder replenishing armour etc. It also introduces weak points on enemies rewarding players for using specific weapons against certain demons, decreasing TTK and allowing you to kill more demons faster.

Overall, if you enjoy FPS games and want a challenge I highly recommend Doom Eternal. Once you learn the ropes of the game you will find yourself coming back every now and then to enjoy a true challenge of FPS skill

+ Pure skilled based fps shooter
+ Simple and easy to start playing for people that already have experience with shooters
+ Strafe jumping galore, movement mechanics feeling amazing and are super fun
- Off putting for new players wanting to experience FPS because the skill gap is too large.
- Loot boxes are cringe

Half life: Alyx has set a new bar in VR FPS games, merging the incredible physics and interactability of a game such as boneworks but incorporating it into a rich story driven narrative game such as Half life was a recipe for success. The level of detail is outstanding, writing this review with 4 hours on record I can't fault the graphics. Playing on ultra seriously looks incredible. Definitely one of the highest fidelity games on VR with such good optimisation. Playing on a RTX 2080 I'm able to run my Index at 144hz and never get any frame drops.

The physics are more refined that boneworks in the sense that handling items is just more polished. It's easier to grab and pick up objects, they act in a much more predictable manner. Climbing up ladders is improved, teleporting you once you reach the top (Dismounting has always been a problem in VR). Additionally I love the gravity gloves, they work in such a satisfying way that once you learn how to use them properly it becomes very addicting to just chuck stuff around the world.

It's not a perfect experience however. I have experienced some game breaking bugs, multiple crashes to desktop have interrupted the experience but I can't fault it too much because i'm playing on day 1 and i'm sure there will be a patch for that, It's just good to know. Also I had a problem with my right index controller not being able to switch between weapons using the trackpad. However further exploring lead me to find there was a firmware update on my controller. Updating fixed that and it works nicely now.

Some gameplay decisions are not ideal. I dislike the fact your body is not a ragdoll, forcing you to switch through weapons on your controller and not your body. There are no melee attacks, meaning without a gun you are literally out of options when it comes to combat. Movement is incredibly slow, forcing you to walk at a snails pace without any way of running. You cannot turn in smooth locomotion, only allowing you to rotate in set increments. There is a limited amount of ways you can interact with the enviroment. For example, you are not able to rip off a zombies head or pull on enemies limbs. (This might be a personal gripe and is obviously not necessary but it would be fun to be able to do).

Overall Half life: Alyx is a very enjoyable experience, pushing the boundaries of whats possible in VR. There is currently a lack of quality titles in VR and this will hopefully introduce more people to the ecosystem. If you own a VR headset this is a must have that you should at least try. I'm sure you will be impressed. Valve has outdone themselves with this title and I hope other people enjoy it as much as I have.

Boneworks is what will start a new generation of VR titles. The physics in this game allow you to fully immerse yourself in the world, grabbing objects, shooting guns and stabbing people with realistic swords and knives has never felt so good. I will admit the story isn't the best, but it doesn't need to be and that's not what the game was aiming for. Instead it's breaking new boundaries that have never been seen before in VR and Stress Level Zero should be proud of what they have created.

incest = wincest

One of my favourite games from 360 is back! Controls work as expected for a console port, took a bit of figuring out but its pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Obviously this game is a lot simpliar than something like SC3 but its still very enjoyable none the less.

Gives me nostagia from the 2009 days... I wish I could go back! ;)
