Pistol Whip

Pistol Whip’s multiple difficulties and modifiers like Deadeye and Dual-wield add depth to a game that’s more addictive and satisfying than Beat Saber. This is neither fully a shooter nor completely a rhythm game yet it ticks off both boxes and does so exceptionally quickly in a stylish package. The 10 launch songs, all in the same general musical style, are a bit limiting. Pistol Whip, though, is already the game that brings me back to my VR headset again and again, and I expect that to be the case for months to come. I’ll be in the group waiting for more official scenes to arrive, trying to finish a few more songs in Deadeye mode on hard, showing the game to others and hoping someone figures out how to add custom maps and songs.

Pistol Whip is an excellent and original VR Rhythm FPS, now even more unmissable with the free 2089 DLC. Great on PC VR, but even better wireless on Oculus Quest or Quest 2.

Beat Saber meets John Wick: Intense music action in VR with rather typical shortcomings in terms of modes and content.

Spectacular and intense, Pistol Whip is a clever mix of action and rhythm and delivers a solid VR experience, despite a certain lack of artistic variety.

Pistol Whip is a music/action VR shooter built from recognizable elements that combine into a unique whole, and when it all comes together as planned it leaves the player feeling like an invincible gun-god dancing through the bullets.

Pistol Whip is a VR highlight with fast-paced rhythm shooting, an exciting soundtrack, and an enticingly abstract art style.

There’s something to be said for a stripped down to basics game experience, without too many complications or intricacies that get in the way of the fun. Pistol Whip is entertaining and another of the growing list of successful arguments for VR as a near-staple for gamers. As a music game, it doesn’t have the depth or addictive appeal of Beat Saber. It can be fun and is one of the better action/arcade games in the VR space, but given its limited playlist and mechanics, I suspect it doesn’t have the long-term appeal of other, more fully-featured games.

This is definitely one of the best games on the Quest. This game does a lot of things right. Movement doesn't feel nauseating for some reason. You have an insane amount of guns to choose from. There are lots of bad guys and the timing feels just right. There are surprise elements. There are lots of levels to unlock. You can even tweak difficulty to either ramp it up or tone it down considerably. Which makes a big difference in the gameplay. This allows everyone to play according to their choice of difficulty. Very good job on that! Overall, a perfect game!

Awesome game, it's like beat saber if you like guns, and you can do pretty awesome stuff from the get go,(Though I do recommend going hardcore for actual learning instead of just feeling like a badass all the time... But if that's your jam, the game also let's ya customize to your heart's content.) and it has a really stylish look with a very good and rather fitting soundtrack to boot. Just left me wishing for more! But the devs are always updating, and there's already more on the horizon,so... TL/DR 10/10, money well spent.

This game knows what it is and what it wants to do. It's slick gameplay and awesome soundtrack lead to a VR experience that sticks with you and will have you want to just dive back in and play "just one more round".

I love this game! Like Superhot meets Beat Saber or the John Wick simulator.

Do you want to feel like John Wick shooting bad guys to a banging soundtrack? Of course you do! I am relatively new to VR having just picked up an Oculus Rift S 3 weeks ago. I have been interested in VR since the release in 2016 however did not want to mess around with sensors around the room for the "room-scale" experience. In the past 3 weeks I have been enjoying various experiences in VR, (Beat Saber, Superhot, Arizona Sunshine, Asgard's Wrath, Blade and Sorcery). I have been playing titles both large in scope and small. Pistol Whip is my favorite VR experience. The ultimate goal in VR is to make you feel awesome. Pistol Whip NAILS that and gives you a great workout all the while. I actually feel like John Wick moving through these fantastic abstract vignettes, changing my shooting position, dodging bullets and obstacles all while nailing my shots to the beat of the banging soundtrack. Get this game!
