Pistol Whip is a high energy arcade rhythm shooter. The default play style takes full advantage of VR motion controls and headset movement to maximize immersion, but the myriad of play options adds a ton of replay value while also making each player's experience unique. I certainly enjoyed the "classic" rhythm-action-hero mode, but dialing in my custom settings and competing on those leaderboards is what made this a truly captivating experience. The music is top-notch EDM that perfectly complements the throbbing, hallucinatory visuals. While the campaign mode is a bit restrictive and the track selection a bit limited, the primary gameplay is so compelling that those issues are functionally irrelevant. This game basically sold me on VR as a unique, transcendent medium.
