Dead Space (remaster) Never finished the original, I think a Final Fantasy came out, which distracted me, and then a new console dropped, and before I knew it, the moment had passed. It's as good as I remember it. I'm playing through with just the plasma cutter and really, it's so satisfying and effective that it didn't need any extra weapons (except maybe the flame thrower for the wee bug things that swarm). The stomp feels so heavy somehow. Love everything about this game. Combines the best of Event Horizon and Aliens for some great scares and action. Now that Horizon Call of the Mountain is done, looking to focus on getting this completed.

Horizon: Call of the Mountain My first PSVR2 game, and what a strong start! My room is a little small, so I can do standing, but not room scale (not sure how much difference that would make, I could still turn around and reach for handholds etc). The graphical leap from PSVR is amazing, really feels like you are in a AAA title, rather than a pared down VR port. The machines feel huge compared to how they appear in game, really makes them feel intimidating. The movement, especially the climbing works brilliantly, walking is achieved by pumping your fists like you are running which makes sense and didn't cause me any motion sickness (also got counted as steps) there's also an option for sticks to move to, but the jogging worked fine for me. Combat is fun. Feels like you are in control, but there is a lot of aim assist making sure you hit targets (this is a good thing given the lack of crosshairs and difficulty in aiming a bow irl). Story is ok, good enough to move the game along, a few cameos from recognisable characters is good, esp. Blameless Marad, nice to see the spymaster up to stuff outside of the main game. There's lots of fun little easter eggs chucked in too, like if you pick up pan-pipes and hold them to your face you can play a little tune, there's a couple of caves with a brush and paint pots to draw on the walls. It's all just great, fun, immersive stuff. If you have PSVR2 this is an essential.
