Persona 3 Reload is a story driven JRPG with a mixture of Final Fantasy combat mixed with Pokemon's monster collecting (in this case, Personas). It takes roughly 70 hours to beat, with none of that time feeling dull or slow, and all of that time being filled with incredible music no matter the setting, from emotinal music to match tense moments, or happy music to acompany you wandering around the city of Tatsumi Port Island (Base Game Soundtrack and DLC Soundtrack here. I highly recommend listening to it, even if you have no intention of playing the game). The themes of the story, the style of the graphics and the designs of the characters are all incredible, with heavy themes of blue in the real world, and an eerie dark green covering the island during the Dark Hour, where all of the combat takes place.
Incredible cast of characters that all enhance the story to be as good as it is
Every single piece of music in the soundtrack is a gift from the heavens
All aspects of the gameplay are really enjoyable, even during difficult sections of the game
The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners
TWD Saints and Sinners is by far my favorite VR game ever made, the phyisics of everything feel real, the combat is vast and varied, gathering items out in the city of New Orleans is fun, while always having the danger of Walkers on your back while exploring, it turns a gathering and crafting game into a very well made survival horror game set in the world of The Walking Dead. The soundtrack fits the game perfectly, and the sound design for every weapon, item and enemy is top notch. The game always feels like a challange, but never too difficult to make you put the game down forever, its just difficult enough to keep you on your toes at all times, whether it be from new enemy variants, or enemys learning your gameplan and adapting as you play to better counter your attacks. The game overall is by far one of the best VR games ever made, and personally is my favorite VR game, and one of my favorite games in general.
Combat feels natural and fun, with a large variety of weapons to choose from (even your fists if you're feeling brave)
The world feels lived in and real, with both walkers and people inhabiing all corners of each area, filling the world with both life and danger
All parts of the gameplay blend together very well, and concidering how early into VR gaming we were when this released in 2020, it was very much ahead of its time in many regards that some games released today are yet to replicate as well as Saints and Sinners did.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best RPGs I've ever played, hands down. The combat is phenominal, the atomosphere and the visuals are top notch, the music is amazinf and the story is one of the best ever written. Whether it be the base game, the DLC Phantom Liberty (which almost got game of the year) or the Netflix anime Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners, all aspects of the Cyperpunk 2077 world is incredible, and should 100% at least be tried by everyone who's a fan of first person RPGs, or RPGs in general.
One of the best stories ever written, with so many twists and turns throughout even the smallest of sidequests
The world feels real, both visually and how the games world and lore is shaped, from the politics of the games world to how corporations oporate, its not too far off from our own reality in many ways
Combat is insanely varied, with thousands of different builds to try out, all being viable in one way or another, which allows yout to play the game truly as you wish, no one weapon or playstyle is better than another, giving you much more freedom to choose what you want to do in game
