    If you’re looking for a unique take on the shooter genre or just want to pretend you’re an inter-dimensional John Wayne for a few hours, then Cold Iron is an easy recommend and offers up far more variety than its simple premise would initially lead you to believe.

    The low-key narration and sparsely surreal graphics play well in this uncluttered game of brinkmanship, dexterity, and puzzle solving. Its challenge certainly isn’t for the faint hearted though.

    Cold Iron’s unique premise oozes with promise, but the core experience is mired by repetitive, punishing gameplay.

    Cold Iron takes the waves out of VR shooters and pits you mano a mano against a variety of enemies in a quick draw contest. It's a little short and the feedback on your shots could be improved but while it lasts it's an enjoyable game that offers some replayability and a well told story.

I'm not sure how it is rated so highly by the professional critics but since there are no user reviews after a year I'm guessing almost no one has played this but me. I think a lot of the issues with this game are due to the horrible motion controllers not tracking/registering shots correctly, but also the game gets ridiculously difficult very quick. Full Review »
