Pistol whip is great fun. One of my favourite VR games. While I think something like Beat Saber is probably better purely as a rythm game, I think just the whole combination of fun music, vibrant levels and satisfying gun mechanics is why I see myself playing this much more often than any other rythm game. Definitely a good work out too. It's worth it even for the full price but if you get it during a sale, it's a no-brainer imo.

This game is perfect and I don't say that lightly. I could literally play it forever and not get bored. The gunplay feels so nice but if it intimidates you don't worry there is a pretty generous aim assist. You can play this game pretty much however you want. You don't want to shoot? Fine play with brawler and just punch and dodge. Miss being able to hit enemies at range using brawler? Fine just equip the modifier that lets you punch back bullets. Don't want to be penalized for using a certain combo of modifiers on the leaderboards? Fine every single combination has it's own leaderboard. Want to be #1 but suck ass at this game? Fine find a really obscure leaderboard that no one has played. This game literally has something for everybody. The only complaint I could see is motion sickness which is valid if that's you (however it's a misconception that you have to have it forever you do build a resistance to it over time). The Campaigns They did not have to make campaigns with incredible set pieces and mechanics but they just said ♥♥♥♥ it and did it anyway. Both of these campaigns are great and expand on the gameplay. I tried to do the cowboy campaign melee only on hard and it absolutely pushed me to my limit for difficulty. I was tactically rolling on my bed and launching myself to dodge them. It was really unforgettable. Both campaigns are also kinda cheesy but in a good way. They didn't need to but they added them and I am grateful they did. Contracts This mode is really unique and I enjoy it a lot. They give you 4 contracts at once one daily, one weekly, and two monthly. It adds and insane amount of replay value and can get you to try the games in ways you never thought of before. You can also grind leaderboards and do all the contracts and see how far you can get. It's another thing they didn't have to make but they did and the game is better for it. Achievements The achievements in this game are also really great. Like contracts, they make you think about the game differently. They aren't super punishing either which some games are guilty of. They are just fun challenges. They were a little finnicky to pop but it ultimately was a non-issue sometimes the game just has to figure it out. Keep in mind all maps have a hidden enemy if you go for perfectionist.

This is 2nd best VR game, hands down. The only game better than this is Beat Saber - and thats partially because of custom songs. I wish this game supported that as well. But honestly its baffing how such a good game is STILL getting updates even 6 years after release. I will definitely buy a sequel if you ever make one.

This game is extremely fun. I wanted to find a game that I could play to workout and boy was this the correct choice. You are constantly moving and dodging bullets walls and enemies all while feeling like the main protagonist. The gunplay is very fun and engaging and the music is incredible, mainly EDM which is exactly what I wanted. I kid you not after playing this game for almost an hour my arms are completely drenched and I'm actually covered in sweat. It didn't feel like I was working out because I was having so much fun. Please buy this game if you are looking to play something that will get you moving.

One of the best games I ever played, dont let my lack of hours on here fool you, as I've played on multiple different platforms. Between Pistol Whip and Beat Saber, I could spend countless hours playing the same levels and having a great time. A great game to own if you have a VR headset.
