  I get that VR games are still somewhat in their infancy, but this one feels like something that would have been included in the very first demo disc when the technology launched. I was excited for the return of Gungrave. Especially since PlayStation VR had been so impressive for me recently diving into the technology. Sadly this experience is just not worth dropping the cash for. There are a ton of better VR experiences for Sony’s headset.

  I was expecting a lot worse from Gungrave VR. I thought it was going to be a disaster akin to Bravo Team or the terrible One Piece game for PSVR. It ended up being okay, sometimes even being very entertaining, but there’s no denying that it missed its mark on more than one occasion, focusing too much on some really uninspired game modes and not focusing enough in what was actually entertaining. This could have been a showcase on how to create third-person shooters for the PSVR. It ended up being just another title that brought absolutely nothing new to the table, just more filler for the system…

  Regardless of the format, Gungrave VR doesn’t really offer any major reason to try it. It just exists, although even that is up for debate considering how little content is actually available. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it affair, the type of game I’ll forget I even reviewed a few months from now and should serve as more of a warning for the upcoming Gungrave GORE than a precursor. This gun belongs back in the grave.

  Gungrave VR isn’t awful, but it’s awfully uninspired. It’s anemic campaign, awkward camera controls, and a complete lack of a story to tie each stage together are really disappointing and make the game feel more like a proof of concept demo that fails to justify its $15 asking price. If you’ve been dying to get your mitts on another Gungrave game over the past 14 years, you’re better off dusting off your PS2. This isn’t the game you’ve been waiting for.

  Gungrave VR has a poorly implemented control scheme, a lack of story content, it doesn’t take advantage of the technology available in the PSVR headset, and ultimately lacks enjoyment in its core gameplay. Unfortunately, Gungrave VR has failed to raise the series from the grave and we’d advise everyone to let this one lay to rest.

  Gungrave VR is a generic shooter wrapped in the new-tech allure of VR. For fans of the 16-year-old PS2 series, this will no doubt bring up some nostalgic feelings. But the incredibly small amount of content on offer will turn off most gamers looking for a fuller experience. The launch price of $29.99 isn’t doing the game any favors, either.
