The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution is a thrilling experience that’s a million times better to play in PlayStation VR 2. It looks fantastic, the combat is engrossing, whilst the freedom offered in how you approach each situation ensures players will be kept on their toes in their chaotic fight for survival. It does have some minor technical bugs and the fact that it doesn’t change up too much over the original is a little disappointing, but neither issue stops The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution from being a ton of fun to play.

It isn’t quite a full-on sequel and doesn’t do much to move the franchise forward, but Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2 is still an incredibly enjoyable extra helping of walker-slaying entertainment. Its smattering of new additions and novelties prove compelling enough to make post-apocalyptic New Orleans worth the revisit, especially if you passed on the initial Quest 2 release for a more polished, well-performing, and visually pleasing product.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution is still unacceptably janky on PlayStation VR2, but major improvements make it worth the hassle this time out.
