Satisfying gameplay loop and good replay value! Pistol Whip was pretty easy to get a hang of as an arcade type high score game. The challenge presented involves "can you dodge bullets like you're in a matrix film" and "can you hit the enemies accurately and to the beat of the music". When you mix those two together... well it is both extremely fun and extremely tiring. I can only put in half an hour or so before I gotta stop; its definitely one of the more strenuous VR games.

Going for 100%, I thought Pistol Whip would be more challenging than it was. Maybe my previous VR experience has helped me out a bit but none of the achievements were too tiring or challenging. The 1,000 pistol whips achievement (the action, not the game) was grindy but not terrible since you get it while playing normally. I obtained all the achievements in 5 hours of playtime.

If you wanna feel like a badass and you enjoy on-rails arcade shooters, consider giving Pistol Whip a try! It's a good workout and a fun challenge!
