Bravo Team

A shooter with a lot of potential which turns out to be a soulless, repetitive and boring husk of a game. Graphically it looks alright and shooting stuff up is fun for a while but you'll soon be thinking about better things you could have been doing instead. The immersion is completely broken due to not being able to move around freely. While conceptually a great idea, Bravo Team's execution falls short and that is a shame.

An overpriced, underdeveloped disappointment. [Issue#199, p.79]

After the polish and fun of Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, it’s hard to believe this company let such a barely baked like Bravo Team out the door.

Bravo Team is sadly a dud that offers a mediocre experience for the PlayStation VR, Way too short, and littered with problems, the idiotic gameplay makes everything very tedious, quickly shaving our enjoyment.

It seems that after a continuous flow of releases Supermassive Games has run out of juice. Bravo Team is more or less a “broken” game, an idea that really does not work on any degree and probably the worst 1st party game for the PSVR to date.

Supermassive needs a break. Bravo Team wastes all the possibilities of the Aim controller and breaks the entire spell of virtual reality. What a disappointment.

Bravo Team slogs on, stranding you in huge spaces, throwing wave after wave of cannon fodder your way, making its short play time feel hours longer that it actually is. Bravo Team is a game that feels unsure and tentative about ideas that have been tried and tested for years now, even in VR.

Bravo Team nearly does the job as a VR shooter, with good controls (Aim Controller compatible) and online coop gameplay, but for all the rest it is really boring. This game is a poor cliché of shooting games, with no soul and no ideas. Very far from what Farpoint did last year.

As a demo, it actually works; when I played it for ten minutes in a controlled environment last year, I came away quite impressed with it. But those first ten minutes are Bravo Team's limit, and Sony should have realised this and pulled the plug on the project as a commercial game a long time ago.

Bravo Team embodies some of the worst traits in a VR game. It’s lackluster gameplay and stale shooting never take full advantage of VR as a medium, and stumble across all the worst hardware pitfalls PSVR has to wrangle with. It’s a mercifully short experience that doesn’t justify the price, especially when better games that fundamentally understand VR hardware exist already.

Bravo Team is fairly enjoyable at the start but it quickly devolves into a repetitive and mindless shooter that unfortunately doesn't even live up to the classic light gun games of the mid-'90s.

This is one of the weakest shooting galleries for Sony’s VR system. Faced with technical problems throughout only the coop-option with another player shows occasional potential.

The best I could say for Bravo Team is that it existed, seemed to work, did not make me physically ill to play (more than I can say for some categorically better-designed titles, honestly), and was done with before could I grew genuinely resentful. Beyond that, it's a completely perfunctory title that is otherwise unworthy of the studio producing it.

A poor PSVR shooter, given the pedigree behind its development Bravo Team, should have been much better. As it is, there are much better alternatives worthy of your cash and attention.

Bravo Team is a very repetitive game that is so annoying in controls that we cannot be very positive about it. It sounds bland and that is exactly what it is.

It's such a shame that Bravo Team is bad because Supermassive has made some great games, but this is by far the worst.

Bravo Team adds nothing to the VR shooter scene and it’s somewhat baffling to see Sony pushing the game so hard considering how it has turned out. If you were considering paying top dollar for that tempting Aim Controller bundle then don’t.

Bravo Team’s third-person camera movement system snatches control away from the player far too much, creating a jarring and unfriendly experience. I’m still baffled at why this was thought to be a good idea after numerous play tests. Movement is just the peak of myriad problems in Bravo Team, including tracking issues, AI goofs, and just plain bad and boring game design.

A shockingly poor attempt to make a VR military shooter, that barely seems to work in any aspect and unwittingly exposes just how limited VR gaming can be.
