Arizona Sunshine is a game that allows players to chill out and blast zombies to pieces in the comfort of their own homes, living out their dreams of slipping into a world where they can use an epic arsenal of weapons to completely eradicate a shambling threat. That may not be the highest bar to clear, but Vertigo Games accomplishes it with style.

Kinda ugly and bereft of new ideas, but also challenging and fun. Sets a higher bar for PS VR co-op, too. [September 2017, p76]

It's a close as you'll ever want to get to an actual walking dead scenario. [Sept 2017, p.91]

It’s kinda boring, there’s barely any content. You’ll get maybe an hour out of it with a friend.

For one of the first PS VR releases, I found it quite fun, especially thanks to the Aim Controller support. Regarding the infamous Spanish dub, it's actually pretty terrible, but since it feels like a B-movie, the dubbing turns it into an adventure comedy.

Pretty good zombie game but nothing amazing. I played it with Dualshock 4 because i didn't had the Move Controllers and it was okay but sometimes the tracking was horrible. Just play it with Move Controllers.

Arizona Sunshine combines the narrative power of a fully-featured 4+ hour campaign mode, with the intensity of a wave-based horde mode, and then adds multiplayer to both experiences. The protagonist’s witty humor make it worth recommending on his charming personality alone, with enough depth and variety to keep people coming back for several hours. By doing so many things so well, Arizona Sunshine quickly rose to the top of the pack as the best overall zombie shooter we’ve seen yet in VR.

If you want to experience being Rick Grimes - this is the game for you. No brainer (har) for anyone looking for a great survival experience in VR. The future of virtual reality looking bright!

I was hooked since the first teaser. Amazing game! An experience unlike any other, and at very least deserves kudos for that. Love the teleportation by the way

Arizona Sunshine is a just OK zombie game that, with the exception of being a PlayStation VR title, doesn’t really differentiate itself from other, better shooters. The Move wands add immersion to the action at the expense of comfortable and sensible movement (I’d kill for the option to move backward). For those who feel that graphics matter, the game is not especially pretty. Frequent texture popping and load-in ruins already bland and uninteresting environments occupied by 3D models that range in quality. At its worst, it looks like a middle- to late-stage game for the PlayStation 2. Take away the novelty of VR and free aiming, and you’ll find there is nothing to differentiate Arizona Sunshine from any other run-of-the-mill first person shooter. Wait for a sale or, if the urge to play a VR shooter compels you, consider Farpoint instead.

Arizona Sunshine tries to deliver another great shooter experience on the PlayStation VR. While it partly succeeds, the game also has its down sides. Controls often feel clunky, and there are some technical problems that really kill the fun while playing.

Arizona Sunshine offers an enjoyable slice of zombie shooting action that left us relatively satisfied. The basic gameplay and dated graphics make the price tag sting a little though.

A good game with good ideas but a leak in the final release. Poor Voice acting making the experience lose the ambience.

Despite the good intentions of the developers, Arizona Sunshine is yet another PSVR game that is plagued by unoptimized controls, queasy camera movement and an overall brief and unremarkable experience that barely qualifies it as a rental, where such an option even possible. The standards have already been raised for virtual horror games thanks to Resident Evil 7, so it falls upon developers to catch up to the VR race and deliver the same kind of quality that Sony’s new hardware add-on desperately needs.

Epic game! I really enjoyed the dark humor of the main character throughout the game and the story line is really good and had a firm grip on me. The overall apocalyptic setting and feel of the game without giving spoilers was done really well and very enjoyable to me. So I would really recommend this game. Sorry for my poor English(not a native speaker).

So recently I found out that Meghan's PC isn't good enough to play Arizona sunshine. Mine can. So I looked online and found two sources that said the game is crossplay. So I bought her the Quest copy. Loaded both up, tried making room/party on both users. When she looked at servers she had a long list. On mine there was one and it wasn't hers. To summarize, she was running the Quest version of AS, and I was running the steam version through virtual desktop. I even had an invite button in my game, but there wasn't one on hers. (You can add quest people to a party on quest). Did more reading **** crossplay that I read about works like this. If you have a friend who has a Rift with Arizona sunshine, you can use your new Quest 2 to play with them, using the PC version. So essentially if you have a father and son who have 2 Rift S with Arizona Sunshine and they both upgrade to the Quest, you have to buy another copy for $45 each to play it natively. And let me be clear that they can play the Rift version on the Quest together, but I have read that the PC version of Arizona Sunshine runs better on the Rift S than it does on the Quest via link. I know that this version is geared to run better on Quest and thus requires some programming, but then I look at Walkabout Minigolf that costs 16 bucks and then releases dlc for free. And it truly is crossplay. I asked Oculus and Vertigo games for another key for the version I bought Meghan on her PC and they won't provide a refund, exchange or new key to input on the quest. I asked them to provide crossplay and they don't want to do that either. I'll play the copy I have on my PC, but other than that they have lost a customer. They are out to steal everyone's cash. It's the most expensive game on oculus and they don't offer crossplay or crossbuy. I don't use this word lightly, but I hate Vertigo Games.
SummaryWhen you hear a flash of a human voice on the radio, your hopes and beliefs are confirmed - there are still survivors out in the blistering heat of the post apocalyptic Grand Canyon state. Arizona Sunshine poses a battle for survival in a VR zombie apocalypse in which players need to navigate both the hordes of zombies coming for their b... Read More
