    The game's story is a humorous and engaging western narrative, primarily told through the embellished tales of a grandpa character, featuring a linear rescue plot filled with jokes and over-the-top elements.

    • “I greatly enjoyed the storytelling and all the pop culture references.”
    • “The story adds a lot to the otherwise simple action.”
    • “The entire story is just a bunch of jokes; levels don't have any proper progression, etc. You know, shooting gallery stuff.”

    • “Great fun story only let down by the fact that it's the easiest/laziest game type in VR: a wave shooter.”

    • “Management is very convenient, which is rare for VR, the graphics are simple but do not hurt the eyes.”

    • “I would recommend buying this if you haven't played every wave shooter there is because it doesn't do anything different in gameplay.”

  • replayability8 mentions

    The game's replayability is considered minimal by some users, primarily due to a lack of interactive scenery and limited content to revisit. However, the varying difficulty levels provide enough challenge to encourage players to return, particularly for those seeking a more immersive experience. Overall, while the atmosphere enhances the experience, it falls short in offering substantial replay value.

    • “The only thing I wish they did was make it so you can shoot more of the scenery... it's a missed opportunity for some funny things to happen and added replay value.”
    • “VR games tend to try to make 'immersive' UIs, and this is no exception, but it at least does it well: the main menu UI is atmospheric, with the old man's office featuring drawers of the desk representing menu items and trophies on the desk representing replayable chapters (and hence, game completion).”
    • “Minimal replayability for me.”
    • “It's easy to play at lower difficulty levels, but challenging enough at the higher levels to support continuing replayability.”
  • grinding6 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and monotonous, with repetitive tasks that lack depth or engagement. While achievements are deemed achievable without excessive grinding, the overall gameplay experience is criticized for being boring and uninspired.

    • “What a boring game, I am surprised it is so highly rated. I couldn't get past the 2nd level because it's just a tedious game of aiming and clicking, but with no nuances like even reloading.”
    • “Yet as a game, it becomes very tedious.”
    • “None of the achievements feel impossible in theory, nor ridiculously grindy: the 'kill n enemies with weapon x' can be completed by simply doing the first level with the weapon, for example.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by a sense of exhaustion that players experience, both mentally and physically, as they engage in relentless shooting. This suggests a repetitive cycle that may lead to emotional fatigue, highlighting the intensity of the gameplay.
