The issues are a bit annoying, but I'm having too good of a time to not otherwise recommend this gem of a 2019 VR game. Yet in its current state, it also sits on the boundary of an "early access" game, in spite of not being advertised as one. In its current state, on PC-VR systems and the standalone Oculus Quest, Pistol Whip is already an impressive trip of a "rhythm shooter," and it blends some of VR gaming's best qualities-tracked hands, body presence, and quick reactions-to deliver a body-filling sensation of badassery. (No, this isn't a licensed John Wick game, but rather an obvious homage to the house that Reeves built.) Its single-sentence pitch is just as fun: pretend you're John Wick and get into gun-fu battles against hypercolor hitmen to the rhythm of thudding techno. That changes this week with Pistol Whip, which both evokes the simple genius of Beat Saber yet actually delivers on that rare combination of familiar and fresh. It's a thin elevator pitch, yet all of its pieces add up to something addictive, inventive, and-based on what I've seen from other recent VR apps-hard to replicate.
