    Pixel Gear is an ok experience if all you are looking for in the game is simple bare bones shooter. Everything about the game is repetitive and simplistic, but there is a little bit of fun you can have with the game. The major downsides of the games are lack of guns, same enemies, uninteresting levels. Game needed just a bit more effort to be decent.

The major downsides of the games are lack of guns, same enemies, uninteresting levels. Game needed just a bit more effort to be decent. The price point makes the purchase reasonable tho, if you are ok with this basic shooter gameplay. This seems like a good game you can have your younger sibling play if anything. Expand

    There aren't many contents in this game but a platinum.
    Only 3 levels with 3 okay boss design and very dull gameplay.
    For the multiplayer part, one player use the controller to hide and collect coins, the other one use the headset and move controller to find and shoot. That's worth something, maybe.

    This game consists of 3 levels with a boss battle at the end of each level. The boss battles are cool and the aiming is incredibly accurate. With that said, its very short. I got maybe an hour out of it and there inst much incentive for replaying. You only get to hold 1 gun at a time the whole game.

You only get to hold 1 gun at a time the whole game. There are upgrades and other guns you can buy that go away after the level ends and they aren't really anything spectacular. Neither is this game for that matter. If it dropped a few bucks in price it might be worth it, but even for 12 bucks there isn't much there. Expand

    it is a very simple game for point and shoot. no story, no hard control, no move sickness.
    grab one when you are bored and it is on sale.

    For the low price this games offer more than enough. This game has an awesome multiplayer mode, it can get repetitive after a looong time, but as there are almost no local multiplayer VR games this one perfectly do the trick.

    Here in the PSVR’s launch window, I could almost find myself giving Pixel Gear a recommendation, but unless players are desperate for software, it doesn’t offer anything that Rush of Blood or Brookhaven don’t already do better. That said, it’s appropriate for younger teens, which is a thing the PSVR’s other shooting galleries can’t claim.

    What Pixel Gear does is accomplished, but it isn't satisfying enough to make you hit reload. [Christmas 2016, p.91]

    What Pixel Gear lacks in depth and length, it makes up for in fluidity, simplicity, and fun.
