The Last Case of John Morley opens as a small, bitter glass of noir: John Morley, recently discharged from hospital, is hired by the grieving Lady Margaret Fordside to re-examine the murder of her daughter, a case closed two decades prior. The setup leans on classic ingredients – a creaking manor, an abandoned asylum and a detective with past wounds – and the game uses those ingredients to build a compact, melancholic mystery that generally favours mood over mechanics.

From the moment you strap on the headset, Marvel’s Deadpool VR announces itself as a full-on plunge into chaos, comedy and mayhem. The premise – your favourite Merc, Wade Wilson, signed up with the interdimensional producer Mojo for “lots of money,” only to discover he’s now trapped in a reality-show-style villain hunt – gives the game license to be outrageously silly, self-aware, and gleefully violent. The narrative isn’t high art, and the story beats are often predictable (Deadpool sometimes even mocks that fact) – but that’s part of the point.

From the moment you begin, A.I.L.A. plunges you into a hauntingly original premise. As Samuel, a beta-tester who receives the titular AI system to trial, you’re lured into seemingly innocuous VR horror scenarios – only to have the walls between simulation and reality slowly crumble around you. The core idea – that an AI constructs personalized nightmares drawn from your deepest fears — feels audacious and unsettling, and for large stretches, the game leans into that psychological terror in a way few horror titles do.

From the first moment you pick up the controller, Samurai Academy: Paws of Fury makes it clear what kind of game it is: light-hearted, cartoonish, and cheerfully chaotic. You play as Hank – a dog samurai in a world of cats – thrust into a mission to save villages across a colorful, playful archipelago under threat from the Shogun’s cat armies. The tone is warm, often goofy, and clearly aimed at a broad, family-friendly audience. That charm remains one of the game’s defining strengths: even without prior knowledge of the film it draws from, the world feels welcoming, the characters have personality, and the overarching mission carries enough heart to keep things engaging.
