Quantum Threshold takes familiar VR shooter mechanics to new territory – strapping players into a virtual weaponized wheelchair in a ruined future besieged by rogue AI. Set across procedurally generated zones, each run immerses you in tense combat and strategic choices. The roguelike structure is familiar, but the wheelchair locomotion gives it a novel twist, offering a new take on seated VR as a tool for speed and precision.

Stepping foot on Arrakis in Dune: Awakening, out now for PC, is a visceral plunge into a desert world that feels both expansive and alive. The early hours wrap you in a survivalist atmosphere – managing hydration, heat exposure, and sandworm threats – before the wider MMORPG systems come into play.

The core narrative thrust, centered around Agent Red and her eclectic squad, is more fleshed-out than you might expect for a twin-stick roguelite. Each character – whether it’s the reckless Boy Scout or the dryly humorous Beaker – has backstory elements and personal mysteries that unfold between runs, helped along by solid voice acting and a tone that balances paranoia, dark humor, and suspense. We tried it out on a PlayStation 5. Continue reading “Section 13 review (PS5)”
