A rhythm game similar to Beat Saber except for sabers, you have guns. And instead of blocks, it's enemies that fire at you. As the name of the game implies, you can also pistol whip the enemies to instantly reload and gain back shields.

This is another game that'll make you work up a sweat. It's an on-rails shooter that has you dodge enemy fire and kill them in tune with the music. The more on beat you are, the more points you get. Don't feel bad about needing perfect aim. By default, there's an aim assist (that you can turn off) so aiming in the general area of the enemies will kill them. Each song has its own custom environment so it's not like you'll see the same area between songs.

A very simple idea but it does it well. The only reason I don't give it a higher rating is the limited song selection. While Beat Saber has quite a lot of well developed mods, that is not the case for Pistol Whip. You're limited to the devs to get more content and with the already very little track selection, it's a bit of an issue.
