High Noon VR

[code]Disclaimer: The copy of the game was provided by the publisher for this review, however, it did not influence my opinion in anyway.[/code] [b]High Noon VR[/b] is a Western style wave shooter. You are a new sheriff of a small town overran by outlaws. You will have to fight your way through hoards of enemies, as per usual. There are 8 stages with multiple waves of enemies and a boss fight. About half of the bandits are ladies. Good for them for being ahead of the times. Gender diversity is important for any organization, even criminal. The game looks good and runs well on my system. I have not experienced any issues. The only complaint is that guns feel a bit off. Not sure if it’s because the game was designed with Vive wands in mind, but it feels like the gun is right in front of your hand instead of you gripping it. It’s a minor issue. The game works fine with Oculus Touch controllers. [b]High Noon VR[/b] starts being more fun the further you progress and once you buy better weapons (standard revolvers you start with are pretty boring). [b]Overall score: 6.5/10[/b] It is not the best VR shooter, but not the worst either. Despite being fairly generic, it will provide enough entertainment for a few afternoons. For the price of $9.99 it is worth it.

The gameplay is fantastic and some of the most fun I've had in a singleplayer VR shooter. But the voice that is always commenting on the game is the most annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing I have every heard. Especially when you cant even turn it off in the options... Whoevers idea it was to add that, needs to be killed by a flock of geese.

Would not pay for this game. The voice acting is horrendous. Still a playable game, enjoyable for a few minutes. No options to turn off the dialogue, however - which completely ruins the game.

Waste of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ money for something that's advertised quite well.

I actually like the game. I have issue with motion/vr sickness so wave shooting is the best for me I dont have any problem with the narator's voice. However the game is kinda short. I have complete all 9/9 level in one day. But dont get me wrong, I do enjoy replay with new weapon and challenges. Good game. Please add more level if possible. Thanks

[h3][b]An uninspired wave shooter marred by horrible voice acting and a ridiculous grind.[/b][/h3] [b]High Noon VR shows glimmers of good work, then throws it in the trash.[/b] The environments are passable (if a little repetitive), the guns are well modelled, and the shooting gameplay is simple and effective. There's a foundation of a halfway-decent game here, if it had more content to it. Instead, High Noon employs cheap tricks to stretch out its content far past its welcome, and these make its other flaws even more unbearable. [b]ಠ_ಠ Progression is a grind.[/b] Every enemy in this game has a health bar that your weapons deplete. Even headshots aren't enough to kill enemies if your weapon isn't a high enough level. You're forced to accumulate cash for upgrades, but this progression takes far too long and requires repeating levels - especially if you don't specialize in one choice of weapon or another. If the game didn't have this grind, you'd blow through its levels in 45 minutes and then immediately request a steam refund of your $10. Obviously, we can't have that. [b]ಠ_ಠ There's no mechanics for cover, dodging, or other damage mitigation beyond shooting.[/b] Fights in this game are effectively a DPS (Damage per Second) race - you need to blow away enemies' health bars before they take yours out. There's no way of mitigating damage aside from shooting threats - no use of cover or moving your body, which is a terrible waste of roomscale VR's potential. [b]ಠ_ಠ Enemy design is dull and their voice acting is uninspired.[/b] Only a half-dozen different character models in the game exist, with a boring palette swap of their clothing colors. After you fight a boss in one stage, they become mooks in the next one for you to stomp on. You'll occasionally hear a "Hey, you!" from the 'sexy' female enemies. What fun. [b]ಠ_ಠ The narrator sounds like a sexist basement dweller.[/b] Between badly reading western romance novel text in the shopping stage, to calling the women 'skanks', the narration of this game is unredeemable trash. The developer's response was to add a mute button for him and call it fixed, when honestly, these narration files should have just been deleted outright. [b]Bottom-line, this game isn't worth buying, even at sale rates.[/b] If you're looking for a simple, Western-themed wave shooter, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/685690/GunsnStories_Bulletproof_VR/]Guns'n'Stories[/url] easily beats out this game for the same price point on every single aspect. There's no ridiculous grind, higher quality enemies, and a far less obnoxious narrator. Plus, it features a demo.
