I'm currently playing Rise of the Tombraider. I bought it for the VR content, which was pretty decent in the end, but short. Now I'm going through the campaign so I can trade it in for Resident Evil 7.
Rottr is a bit of a mixed bag. I have no clue what the story is as there's so much busy work, running from map icon to map icon, that I can't remember what I'm there for anymore. It doesn't help that I skip the cut scenes as they tend to drag on, and who wants to stand still to listen to the documents. There are much better ways to tell stories nowadays.
I was pretty impressed with the length of a side quest, until I realized it was the Baba Yaga DLC. Pretty short for dlc, but one of the best parts of the game anyway. The 'hidden' 'challenge' 'tombs' are still a joke, 9 jokes this time. It's pretty much the same short 'puzzle' every time, dressed up differently, the template of which is also used in the main game.
The whole game is rather formulaic, but still entertaining with lots of little checklists to check of. It always feels like you're making progress, and you'll never get stuck. It's just that, apart from Baba Yaga, there's nothing memorable here.
Last game I completed was Windlands. Excellent first person platformer in VR. Pretty challenging on hard, walking that fine line of frustration, saved by the instant restarts and just the right amount of checkpoints. It has that classic 'one more go' feeling, I'll get that jump sequence on the next attempt, or 20.
Next to finish is Bound. Plus I'll be playing more Thumper play+, Pinball FX2, DC VR and Rez Infinite until Resident Evil 7 comes out. Perhaps some more TLG as well, halfway through 3rd playthrough.
