Arizona Sunshine 2 is a fun game that I would recommend to anyone who wants a good campaign driven zombie game. Sure, the new additions may not be revolutionary, but they are certainly a step up from the first game.

Great sequel with many improvements. Your canine company 'buddy' is both adorable and useful in combat and solving puzzles. You're fitted out with a wide range of guns and the occasional melee weapon, but their usefulness is limited - as is your storage for them. Focus is clearly still on shooting Freddies. The improved reload-mechanism adds a new source of anxiety, especially when you fumble with Freddies approaching. There are a couple of technical hickups, but they don't stand in the way of fun.

Arizona Sunshine 2 is in part a missed opportunity. While we are faced with a title with fun gameplay and a well-crafted shooting system, we cannot remain impassive to the laziness found in writing a story with more bite or making the environments and zombies a little more varied.

Arizona Sunshine 2 is a great VR zombie shooter for those wanting an introduction to virtual zombie killing. There is plenty to do throughout the game when it comes to exploring. A mindful player can have a surplus of ammo, given the proper situations and how they are handled. Weapons come in enough variety that multiple combinations can be tested. Dual-wielding is probably the coolest part of the weapons system.

Vertigo Games has a strong zombie slaying VR title on their hands with Arizona Sunshine 2. It doesn't elevate the genre in any notable ways, reminding us that the initial entry led the charge in a much different VR landscape than we are looking at today, but it still manages to keep the fun factor intact. It may not be a massive evolution over its 2016 predecessor, but it still maintains an alluring experience (one that is improved by Buddy's presence).

Arizona Sunshine 2 is a thrilling zombie escapade that easily stands out as one of the best titles available on PlayStation VR 2 right now. It improves upon the original in just about every way, whilst new additions such as the realistic reloading, your canine companion, and the co-op gameplay help make it even more exciting and immersive to play. Sure, it does have a few missteps here and there, but they’re minor issues in what is otherwise another brilliant release from the team at Vertigo Games.

Arizona Sunshine 2 is the closest VR has come to a popcorn action flick, and I found myself loving it for that. It's more than a little rowdy, and a tad rough around the edges, but it also offers some of the most delightful interactive elements of any Quest 3 game I've played so far.

The sequel remains true to its predecessor and takes the franchise to a new level. Strong graphics and superb weapon control are the biggest plus points. On the other hand, the level of difficulty is low and the artificial intelligence is average at best. Simple light hearted fun and suited best for casual mature PSVR2-users.

Arizona Sunshine II is a great VR experience with a simple but heartfelt narrative and fluid gunplay that feels very natural with the VR controllers. The game does feature a variety of bugs, but this doesn’t stop it from being an enjoyable thrill ride!
