PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

Though an ambitiously modest venture, Lethal VR nonetheless hits all the right targets when it comes to fashioning a compelling arcade blaster stuffed with enough engaging score chasing activities to keep players busy for a good while.

It’s hardly revolutionary, but there’s something compelling about Lethal VR. Its guns pack a weighty punch, its challenges are broad and varied, and its scoring mechanic compels you to take just one more turn.

It's one of those games VR needs. It's not an unforgettable experience and it doesn't take you to wonderful worlds, but it's a good arcade to have a great time with.

It’s hardly complex and far from essential, but Lethal VR is a fun and polished romp while it lasts. Shelf life may be a concern, but the minimal setup time needed makes Lethal VR easy to slip into whenever in need of some brief ballistics training.

Lethal VR is an intense and funny first person shooter, in which the extremely simple gameplay is magnified by virtual reality.

Lethal VR is simple, but fun, just like going to a shooting range. We miss more variety in level design, but weapons are pretty realistic, and there are some interesting 007 easter eggs, such as the golden gun or Oddjob´s hat.

It’s low rent gun porn. At its best, Lethal VR is a tech demo and barely worth notice, even for hungry PlayStation VR owners looking for something to play. Best acquired during a PSN sale, if at all.

Quotation forthcoming.

Lethal VR fails to dial up the phasers from stun to kill, a decidedly less lethal experience on PlayStation VR than its original Vive counterpart. It has a really fun arcadey core that could make for some great quick VR shooting gallery moments, but is hamstrung on PSVR by a tightened field of action and piss-poor accuracy using the Move controllers.

There's some potential here, but the end result feels limited, lacking a story, content and the option to recalibrate. Shame.
