    Archangel is a slow mech cockpit shooter. The controls are awful and the semi on rails nature of the level design just feel bad. There are plenty of other better cockpit shooters available.

    Don't get fooled like I did and don't buy it on special. The game is horrible and after 5 minutes of being impressed by good graphics, you'll see it's a bad game.

    Trust me on this. It is unplayable because your character is CONSTANTLY yelling during the whole time. I'm not petty or anything, believe me when I tell you it completely RUINS the game experience(which is bare bone by itself. All you do is constantly shoot targets. It's incredibly dull).

    This game has changed my perspective on VR games. I will no longer be buying anything else than AAA proven quality such as: Skyrim or Resident Evil and maybe Thumper.

    Games like this are trash and there's too many of them in the PS world unfortunately. Don't support this garbage.    … Expand

    In the end, Archangel makes a good first impression, but the fact of the matter is this is a game you’d play at a Dave & Buster’s. The on-rail nature of gameplay makes it better suited to an experience rather than a video game. There’s no reason to play through it a second time, either. Nothing about the two to three-hour story, the characters, or the gameplay made me say, “Gosh, I really want to play this again!” As much as I wanted Archangel to be a first-person Zone of the Enders, I do have to be realistic. That sort of experience isn’t possible on the platform yet. Maybe if it came with a Steel Battalion-like control system, it’d be a lot more fun and interactive. But considering the limits of the Move controllers, what I want the game to be isn’t possible right now. And that’s a shame because Archangel has some promise, and I wish I could engage with it more than I am allowed to. A decent way to kill an afternoon, though you might want to wait for the price to drop below $40.

    Archangel has a few rough dents in its mechanical chassis, but still performs a whole lot better than most of the VR dreck that has plagued Sony’s budding VR hardware. At this point, beggars can’t be choosers, and a decent experience is far more preferable than another stomach-turning train wreck. Though not every idea may be properly thought through, there is still a lot of love and care put into the game, which may not make it entirely deserving of a full-price purchase, but still worth a weekend with after a price drop or two.
