    Arizona Sunshine combines the narrative power of a fully-featured 4+ hour campaign mode, with the intensity of a wave-based horde mode, and then adds multiplayer to both experiences. The protagonist’s witty humor make it worth recommending on his charming personality alone, with enough depth and variety to keep people coming back for several hours. By doing so many things so well, Arizona Sunshine quickly rose to the top of the pack as the best overall zombie shooter we’ve seen yet in VR.

    If you’re serious about PlayStation VR and love first person shooters, Arizona Sunshine is a no-brainer. Mowing down mobs of the undead is immensely satisfying with a great spread of weapons and plenty of opportunities to have some fun. The campaign is well-paced, supplying small but welcome diversions to break up the action with little morsels of story here and there.

    Kinda ugly and bereft of new ideas, but also challenging and fun. Sets a higher bar for PS VR co-op, too. [September 2017, p76]

    Arizona Sunshine tries to deliver another great shooter experience on the PlayStation VR. While it partly succeeds, the game also has its down sides. Controls often feel clunky, and there are some technical problems that really kill the fun while playing.

    Arizona Sunshine hinges on a neat concept and delivers an enjoyable singleplayer experience, which - unfortunately - has been put together rather sloppily. The amount of pop-up alone is enough to give any sane person a headache.

    Arizona Sunshine could be so much more than it is. It's an overly linear game with few if any surprising moments, zombies that don't behave in particularly interesting ways, and a story that accomplishes the bare minimum to keep you moving from point to point. It's middling.

    Despite the good intentions of the developers, Arizona Sunshine is yet another PSVR game that is plagued by unoptimized controls, queasy camera movement and an overall brief and unremarkable experience that barely qualifies it as a rental, where such an option even possible. The standards have already been raised for virtual horror games thanks to Resident Evil 7, so it falls upon developers to catch up to the VR race and deliver the same kind of quality that Sony’s new hardware add-on desperately needs.

I really enjoyed the dark humor of the main character throughout the game and the story line is really good and had a firm grip on me. The overall apocalyptic setting and feel of the game without giving spoilers was done really well and very enjoyable to me. So I would really recommend this game.

The graphics are nice and it has a terrific atmosphere. I'm not sure why the scores are so low, they are wrong. This is an 8-9 but I am giving it a 9 for the aim support.… Expand

    Fun game, would get an 8 or 9. Unfortunately the horrid controls and bugs ruin the experience.

    terrible, random teleportation even though i asked the movement to be controlled by me (i don't get motion sickness from VR). Then the blueterrible, random teleportation even though i asked the movement to be controlled by me (i don't get motion sickness from VR). Then the blue screen of PS4 death as my character got stuck in a car door on the 2nd level. That's right for some reason my character managed to clip through a car door then got stuck there.

    Optimisation terrible, controls terrible. I think the developer needs to play farpoint and go "oh that's how you shoot in VR games", maybe they'll learn something. Glad i only paid £10 on a PS4 sale, i feel for anyone buying this full price since Sony won't refund squat.

    don't touch.    … Expand
