Budget Cuts

“Budget Cuts is a great title, with substantial story and meaty, challenging gameplay, and an entertaining style, but it does suffer from some significant performance problems that do detract from the experience. Budget Cuts could be elevated from good to utterly brilliant if it is given a little more time in the oven to bake in and correct the issues.” – Read VRFocus’ Staff Writer Rebecca Hills-Duty preview of Budget Cuts.

Sairento VR

“In the end though it all comes down to how much time and enjoyment you’ll get out of Sairento VR and rest assured it’ll be plenty. If Mixed Realms hadn’t managed to nail down the movement system then Sairento VR could’ve been just another FPS with a myriad of options. Instead, Sairento VR is one of the best free flowing combat titles available for VR headsets, showcasing how far development of VR locomotion has come.” – Read VRFocus’ Senior Staff Writer review of Sairento VR.

Please, Don’t Touch Anything

“Theoretically, you can see everything Please, Don’t Touch Anything has to offer in less than an hour and, at present, there’s little reason to return beyond that. However, the puzzle challenges get increasingly convoluted once you’ve broken everything once and found clues to what should (or could) be coming next. It’s still unlikely to take you more than an evening to find all 30 of Please, Don’t Touch Anything’s endings, but it’s a journey that will remain with you due to it’s constantly evolving nature and it’s return to 0 upon every completion.” – Read VRFocus’ Editor Kevin Joyce’s review of Please, Don’t Touch Anything

Virtual Ninja VR is on sale now for £4.49 (GBP) down from the usual £7.99 for Oculus Rift.

Red Matter

“All in all, Red Matter is a very high calibre VR experience, neatly weaving its story and puzzle elements together. It by no means perfect, following the line of other puzzles in VR that are seemingly unable to offer plenty of reasons to come back for more. So like a good meal take it slowly and savour the moment.” – VRFocus’ Senior Staff Writer Peter Graham’s review of Red Matter.

Zombie Shooter Dead Ground: Arena Leaves Early Access, Sequel Announced

This wave-based shooter, developed by Korean studio VRillAR, just launched its full version across Steam, Oculus Home and Viveport. The game packs seven levels in which you dual-wield guns, fending off hordes of the undead. You’ll find your standard assortment of shotguns and assault rifles ready to fire, though the game also includes more inventive weapons like a gravity gun and freeze ray.

If one Dead Ground game wasn’t enough for you, though, you’ll be happy to learn that the developer is also working on a sequel, Dead GroundZ. From the looks of it it’s going to be a very similar game, only fitted with a true campaign filled with new environments and weapons. It’s set to launch in Early Access in the near future, though a free demo is on its way, too.

Dead Ground: Arena, meanwhile, is discounted to $10.49 until September 10th (when it will go up to its usual price of $14.99) and supports Rift, Vive and Windows VR.
