PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

Packed with solid gameplay and a small learning curve, Blue Estate breathes new life into the dying rail shooter genre.

Blue Estate is a light gun game that doesn't use a light gun. Grab your DualShock 4, because this on-rails shooter uses gyroscope technology to take players through eight exciting stages. Too bad the jokes are awful and the gameplay isn't as accurate as needed, because Blue Estate does a great job of staging action.

A solid on-rails shooter that if great fun for the short time you will spend with it.

If you need a good excuse to kill a weekend and you are in the mood for some mindless entertainment with a friend (or solo, if you want), then Blue Estate is worth checking out.

A decent on rail shooter that just loves to be plain stupid and politically incorrect. Simple, straightforward fun, enjoyable if you're in the mood for mutant chickens, meta-referential jokes and "low-budget John Woo moments".

Blue Estate is not a bad game, and some of the things it does using the DualShock 4 are interesting, but for all intents and purposes it’s a light gun game that will last players a short time, and it’s a rather expensive one at that. I would recommend it, but at a nice sales price.

Compared to recent attempts to try and revive the on-rails genre, Blue Estate probably comes out on top. The DualShock 4 serves as a perfect replacement for PlayStation Move and, when paired with intuitive mechanics and stylised visuals, makes for a solid downloadable title.

Blue Estate shows that an on-rails shooter can work efficiently on PlayStation 4.

Blue Estate’s gameplay is actually really good: the motion controls work well and the simple control scheme makes it easy to play, if a little basic.

Sure, in the end, it all depends how much you enjoy this ever moving shooting gallery with personality, and ultimately it will be the determining factor of your purchase.
