    Dexed is the kind of thing you might play a few times, in short sittings, and never return to again. There's not enough here to earn your continued interest, and while the on-rails shooting works well and seems promising at first, the game it's attached to fails to build on that initial seed of an idea.

    That’s all there really is to Dexed. It’s a very simple on-rails shooter that could have blossomed into a game that I would have seriously enjoyed. However, there’s so little content here, and so little done with some smart basic systems, that instead Dexed just feels empty. It’s a good value if nothing else, but there’s far more fleshed out rail shooters available on any VR device.

    Between its fast-paced action in both the story and arcade modes and the far more relaxed experience offered up in Zen mode, there is a lot of content to enjoy. Every mode has something fresh to change the experience up and the variety gives DEXED a broad appeal. You don’t have to be good at or even like on-rails shooters to enjoy it, and because it’s such a frustration-free experience, maybe it will even act as a great gateway game for the genre.

    DEXED by Ninja Theory is a fun on-rails shooter that brings back a classic gameplay mechanic tasking you with targeting enemies as you pass them by to rack up points. There are only a handful of levels and it takes just around 30 minutes to play the entire game, so despite the fun, it’s short-lived.

    With all its tranquility, Dexed is a very pleasant VR gaming experience. The minimalistic visuals and memorable music fit well together, creating a dreamy atmosphere that reminds us of Journey. However, the brevity of the game did leave us a little disappointed and we're still holding out hope for larger VR titles from big developers.
