Double Shot

Simple but surprisingly enjoyable. It's a good challenge. Sort of a mixture of Overcooked and VR murder. Get a drink order and try to fulfill it as quickly as you can while avoiding death and killing sterotypicaly 80s bad guys. I did not like the fact you have no control over what weaponry you use. The game has a Robo Recall style grab a holstered weapon and chuck it when you run out of ammo system. However, when you reach for a new gun it's a crapshoot what you end up with. Could throw your glock away, reach down, and come back with a rocket launcher. I would honestly rather be able to choose what weapons I want to be using, mostly because the rocket launcher and grenade launcher just aren't fun additions to me. Weapon sounds could use a little work too, they lack a certain punchiness which diminishes the overall experience. Despite this though, the game remains pretty fun. Interested to see where they take it.

You know, I went into this expecting a shoddy cash-in and I was thoroughly impressed. I genuinely felt like a no-♥♥♥♥ action her, nonchalantly chucking bottles of flaming neon liquor and performing casual headshots with an unlikely hyperspace arsenal. Your buddy B.A.R.R. is annoying at first (and I wish that he had more lines/there was an option to mute him when he really grates) but after a little while he starts to grow on you. The developers put a lot of polish in behind the scenes for the incredibly early stage, as well. The action is tight, the physics are smooth, and best of all it takes very little time to gain enough of an intuitive understanding of shot lead and gravity/momentum interaction to let you pull off some highly entertaining tricks. The first time you pull the revolver and ventilate some goon through the cranium with a casual glance, you'll feel like a god, and it only gets better from there. Granted, YMMV. If you think a $5-$10 VR markup is about what you can expect, this is exactly the right amount of bang for your buck.
