    Fast-paced arcade action with plenty of content and solid controls held back by poor artificial intelligence.

    A bit of trailer trickery might have you thinking that Crossfire: Sierra Squad is more open than it really is. While it's not quite a rail shooter, the environments and scenarios are much smaller than you might expect. Still, a wealth of content and a ton of weapons make up for the surprise once you settle in to the fact that this is an cover-based arcade shooter above all. The guns feel good, the graphics are fine, and if you turn off your brain you'll probably have a pretty good time.

    Crossfire: Sierra Squad from Smilegate Entertainment is an arcade shooter that works in VR with its intense firefights and short stints of gameplay. While the gameplay is finite, especially with its linear backbone and restrictive areas of play, it still contains some charm that may remind VR owners that fun experiences are still out there.

    Crossfire: Sierra Squad isn't Call of Duty VR and neither is it an ultra-realistic, tactical shooter in the vein of Pavlov VR. What it is however, is an eminently enjoyable appreciably straightforward arcade FPS that fees great to play, respects your time and has bucket loads of progression and replay values for folks looking to get stuck in over the long term. Crossfire: Sierra Squad is quite the pleasant surprise to say the least and sets down a compelling blueprint for other arcade style FPS offerings on PSVR 2 to follow in the future.

    The game emphasized arcade shooting before launch, and as expected, it's a casual, fast-paced shooter. At the first time the story campaign is a little too easy, but the squad campaign can be sweaty and frantic for solo. and It's an authentic retro arcade shooter experience that I haven't had in a long time, even if it's a little too hectic at times with swarms of enemies.

    The best part was the intense combat, which felt like playing Time Crisis in VR, and the ease with which I could control and customize the various guns.
    The price is also lower than other VR games, so it feels like a good value for money.
    It took me about 3 hours to complete the 13 main campaign, and I'm still looking forward to the 50 multiplayer maps and Horde mode.

    If you're looking for a really realistic VR military game, you might be disappointed, but if you're looking for something casual like me, I definitely recommend it.
    It keeps you focused on blasting away at enemies for short periods of time without any though.    … Full Review »

Maybe it's because we don't really have a huge library of VR games to play unlike other platforms, but I enjoy pretty much all the vr games i play and this one was no exception. Simple mindless fun.… Full Review »

    I hadn't initially planned to share my thoughts, but encountering this "Pomodoro" character prompted me to reconsider; I was intrigued enoughI hadn't initially planned to share my thoughts, but encountering this "Pomodoro" character prompted me to reconsider; I was intrigued enough to create an account just for this. Let's talk about the marketing team first. Seriously, who do you have on board for your marketing? The very first comment from this Pomodoro individual rates the game 10/10? The descriptions used and their perception of the game couldn't be further from the reality. It makes you wonder whether they've even played the game or if they're simply following the playbook of some deceptive marketing campaign. It's as if they're attempting to replicate the same approach that's duped players before. Note for the future: ask ChatGPT for input that resonates with players, not some executive tucked away in an office.

    Don't misunderstand me; the game isn't utterly abysmal. In comparison to numerous other PSVR titles, it stands as an acceptable offering for its price point. However, that's where the compliments stop. The experience is excessively repetitive and easily fades from memory – a title that may consume a mere two hours of your time before slipping into oblivion. (And let's not forget the obligatory campaign stint to unlock the Realistic mode, which, admittedly, is perhaps the sole commendable aspect of the entire game.) The development itself is mediocre at best, coupled with a marketing strategy that leaves much to be desired. It's a passable game to engage in if you find yourself bereft of alternatives, but it won't leave a lasting impression.

    I can see someone having fun with friends, or family over the weekend, but so you can in many VR Chat rooms. The game is a ON-Rails Wave Shooter. If u have 30 bucks to spare and is bored. Definitely try. If you ever played other VR shooters, stay away.

    Also.. be careful with those fake reviews..    … Full Review »
