There’s a burden of expectation that accompanies every new VR game – that it should push the medium forward, in at least some small way.
That’s perhaps unfair – you wouldn’t demand it of the average FPS, after all – yet given the extra financial and physical investment the technology requires, and the novelties in which it trades, it seems reasonable to ask it to show us something new. Arizona Sunshine 2, for its part, has no interest in such considerations.
This is an unapologetically retrograde game of guns and zombies, concernedaction look like a model of sophistication. Yet the nature of VR elevates these hoary old interactions. There’s a satisfying tactility to holding a grenade in one hand and pulling out the pin with the other; to swinging a meat cleaver and watching heads roll.
