    Gungrave VR is a generic shooter wrapped in the new-tech allure of VR. For fans of the 16-year-old PS2 series, this will no doubt bring up some nostalgic feelings. But the incredibly small amount of content on offer will turn off most gamers looking for a fuller experience.

    Gungrave, like when it debuted over a decade ago, is an acquired taste.

    GUNGRAVE VR offers a short, outdated shooter that doesn't gain much from being in VR. There is a little arcade fun to be had but the price is far too high for what's on offer.

    "I really enjoy this game, a great VR experience. Don’t understand where the critics are coming from."

    Well gee, maybe because after the    "I really enjoy this game, a great VR experience. Don’t understand where the critics are coming from."

    Well gee, maybe because after the PSVR recieving countless of decent games, is incredibly frustrating to see an incredibly short game with an incomprehensible story that doesn't help much to set up the story for GORE, enemies that can only die untill they finished their attack animations, mediocre gameplay with useless moves like the melee attack, bosses that are much as a pushover as that bully from 3rd grade, and graphics that are barely on par with today's VR standards? I'm not the guy who criticizes games for bad graphics but this is $40, the same price that games like Firewall currently sit at.

    Something tells me Iamagodgamer is a new comer to VR games, and has barely played any actual GOOD Vr experiences (and most likely haven't played a Gungrave game). Then again, this is also the same guy who gave a score 0 to PUBG and a 10 to Red Dead Redemption 2, so I'm guessing he's one of those people from metacritic.    … Full Review »

    Fun in short bursts but really shouldn't have been $40. If it was maybe $10, I would have definitely recommended it. The game can be a bit ofFun in short bursts but really shouldn't have been $40. If it was maybe $10, I would have definitely recommended it. The game can be a bit of fun but only on the latter two stages. The firs three feels clunky to play. Graphics aren't bad but aren't anything special, especially for an overpriced VR game. The story is the worst part. You play as a guy named Grave who's duty is to take out the a drug named....I don't know, I wasn't paying too much attention. All I know is that drugs are bad and you gotta stop them. That's basically the plot of the game. It is very underwhelming. The only replay value in the game is playing on the highest difficulty but in all honesty, I just don't think that's enough. The game is way too short (took me 47 minutes to complete it) and only 2/5 of the game I thought was "passable".… Full Review »

    One of the worst VR games I have played. Gameplay is sluggish and at time, almost hard to know what' going on due to the bad camera angles.One of the worst VR games I have played. Gameplay is sluggish and at time, almost hard to know what' going on due to the bad camera angles. Plus, the gameplay just doesn't have that weighty feeling of satisfaction when killing enemies because the game really isn't that hard. The boss fights were underwhelming as well, requiring no skill to kill them. Graphics are something straight of an early PS3 game, controls can feel very whimsy (especially during first person segments), story is barely coherent, and worst of all, you can beat this game in just under an hour. All for the price of $40, which is highly unacceptable.

    Don't listen to the positive user score above. Trust me, you'll be doing yourself a favor by avoiding this game. I think I had more fun playing The Walker or Ace Banana than I did in this game. This hurts me because I enjoyed the previous two Gungrave games but now, I can only hope Gungrave GORE will be an improvement. The only thing that could salvage this heap of trash is if they dropped the price to $15 or $10. But other than that, just stay away. Ignore what the positive score(s) say.    … Full Review »
