Dead Island 2 (Deep Silver)

Neat zombie bashing mechanics are woefully under-served as it loses its way more with each hour, making the shiny hyper-violence yawnworthy by the end.

Tchia (Kepler Interactive)

This archipelago adventure is, in a word, lovely. While its open world can't soul-jump out of making familiar wrong turns, we still enjoyed getting lost in it.

The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR (Supermassive Games)

Supermassive provides a (slightly) deeper experience than you might expect from a VR lightgun game, although overall replay value remains questionable.

Citizen Sleeper (Fellow Traveller)

You're forced to make difficult choices about your priorities, thinking tactically about which events could benefit the most from high rolls and which you can make do on with lower ones.

Before Your Eyes (Goodbye World Games)

Short... but very sweet.

Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly (Toge Productions)

If you enjoyed the original Coffee Talk, you'll enjoy this continuation too, perhaps even more.

The Last Worker (Wired Productions)

A witty script and likeable performances make this VR dystopia worth getting immersed in. Out of the oppressive grind emerges a narrative with heart.

Process Of Elimination (NIS America)

Comes in swinging and establishes both a narrative universe and unique style of detective activity that shines alone but make an almost dazzling combination.

No Man's Sky (Hello! Games)

Nothing else on PSVR2 matches this for ambition and player freedom.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution ()

Flashes of brilliance dulled by technical issues, and an obsession with making things difficult for you. There's fun here, if you're willing to fight for it.

Backbeat (Ichigoichie)

A must-play for the rhythmically inclined. Pick up a controller and let's jam!

Fantavision 20XX (Cosmo Machia)

Rather a short-lived and shallow affair, especially when you could just replay the fireworks level in the superior Tetris Effect instead.

Figment 2: Creed Valley (Bedtime Digital)

This sequel proves there's still plenty of joy to be squeezed from Figment's storybook charm and psychedelic conceit, particularly if you've got a friend to join you for local co-op.

Clash: Artifacts Of Chaos (Nacon)

Despite awkward exploration, it is wonderful to play something as wilfully odd as this.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (Frogwares)

Characters you love to be around, a truly thrilling story, and some decent puzzles make for a fun, if perhaps sometimes too frictionless, ride.

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist Of The End & The Secret Key (Koei Tecmo)

The shift to an open world mostly works, though the rest can feel a little lacking compared to other entries. But the cosy questing will hook you.

Project Zero: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse (Koei Tecmo)

Worth playing through if you're a Project Zero fan, but it's disappointing to have waited this long for what may well be the weakest entry in the series.

WWE 2K23 (2K Games)

The best WWE game in a decade, with a wealth of modes and recognisable wrestlers.
