I'm currently about to be a Senior at university for Computer Science, with my semester approaching the end, taking such classes as Computer Science Theory, and Paradigms of Programming Languages. I am in my prime to not just understand what this game is, but fully appreciate what this game is. It doesn't make anything easier, but it's completely in line with my current state of education and it is amazing for it.

I've been a zachtronics fan for a very long time. They're games are always inspiring, and provide a wonderful new way of looking at problems. As usual, Last Call BBS does just that, but in an assortment of different mini games. Not to be confused with mini-games, but just smaller prototype esq ideas. Like they had left over stuff they had thought of but couldn't use, so they put them all in this game with astounding production quality. Instead of other puzzle games, where if you get stuck you just have to put the game down, if you get stuck in a puzzle in one of the games you can just try a different game inside. And believe me, the options available are wildly different and do provide a lot of hours for your enjoyment

I've played through all the Dread X collections and this carries the torch but now with guns. Nothing special, but only because all of them are special and this continues to be special, but not any more special than the rest, thus not special. Is Good

This is a walking simulator with a lot of jump scares. I wouldn't classify this as anything else. The story left a lot to be desired, feeling pretty empty and "this is so far gone that they can't possibly tie it all together" and boy oh boy was I right about that. I can't see anything in this game that made my play time worth it. Just skip this

Savage lands is fantastic but has some caveats to it. Information is hard to find on the game, and has changed a lot over the years of its release so it can be hard to find clarity if you're confused/lost. It's not very polished in its presentation, with some kinda meh graphics, odd handling of audio, and just generally not that good of a game. It's current state is definitely a victim of the early access survival crafting boom that took place a few years ago. But with all of that said--

--My gosh this game is a blast. Not having a ton of information about the game meant that I had to actually explore around, search under every nook and cranny, *read the in game lore*, and with good enough multiplayer implementation I got to do it all with a friend. It's not spectacular, but if you're willing to take a chance on a funkily programmed game that has been in early access so long it should be illegal, then go for it, you won't regret it.

The game works. It has some interesting puzzles, nothing fantastic, but it works for its concept. I wouldn't rush out to get it, cause I beat it in 3.5 hours, this game is not worth 20 bucks. But if it's low enough, sure go ahead.

There is a big fear with making a movie in Virtual Reality that if you make a scene, the viewer will be looking in the wrong direction. This is common, people naturally want to break the experience and look in the wrong direction

Hellblade had to have solved this problem in the best possible way, by controlling the viewer and what they see as if they were the moving camera. I will admit it can be nauseating at times, so if you're prone to motion sickness then beware, but if you're willing to put up with that then it is such a riveting experience. Being captured into the world of Hellblade, knowing and feeling what this character does, it's absolutely fantastic.

One of, if not THE best couch-multiplayer VR games. In a market that is under-saturated with VR games that allow to play together using just one computer, this game is a breath of fresh air with a genre that doesnt exist outside of VR, and it is by far a joy to play. Panoptic is the game I always put people onto first whenever anybody comes over to play VR. It is such a different game that really showcases what VR is capable of.

10/10

You play a character, have a ton of fun playing the character thinking "man, this is gotta be my favorite character, this is so fun" and then just rinse and repeat with the next character, and the next, and the next--

This is easily one of the most memorable games I've ever played
