    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 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.

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".… Expand

    Gungrave VR is a game that not only tarnishes its own legacy but also leaves a bad impression of VR as a whole. The gameplay is shallow, as attacks feel slow and lack any sort of impact. The limited nature of the stages and the lack of any intelligent enemy combat makes the affair boring, but the clunky implementation of VR is what really drags down the game. The VR feels unnatural, and it doesn't safeguard one from getting nausea. There's still hope that the upcoming sequel will fare better, especially if it sticks with more traditional gameplay elements and presentation, but this VR take is one that players can easily skip.

    I was excited for the return of Gungrave. Especially since PlayStation VR had been so impressive for me recently diving into the technology. Sadly this experience is just not worth dropping the cash for. There are a ton of better VR experiences for Sony’s headset.

    What you get for your money is terrible, rendering the mid-level price insulting. There's no reality in which this is worth buying, virtual or otherwise. [Issue#158, p.97]
