Concrete Genie has heart and warmth but, from what I’ve played, it’s more sticker book than blank canvas. Rescuing the dreary remains of a once-thriving fishing village whittles down to brushing pre-determined patterns onto its every surface. These are often delightful to look at but ultimately confined to the tools the game makes available rather...

Remember Tales of Glory? It was one of the many VR games that had dreams to rooting you in medieval-era combat. Warring factions clashing in the heat of battle, mighty axe swings and buckets of blood; that sort of thing. It wasn’t the most elegant attempt, but it had heart. Now it’s getting a sequel....
