Pistol Whip is insanely fun, downright hectic, and excellent for parties. While the seven levels won't last very long, the soundtrack and compelling rhythmic gameplay carry this one to stratospheric heights. Embrace your gun kata, and pick this up.

It’s definitely an essential for those that love their PSVR devices. So, why not chuck that headset on, get shooting, blasting, dodging and sweating?
Even though Pistol Whip has a small musical offering at the moment, it's one of the best VR experiences I have played on PSVR and in general. It's easy to pick up, great to play, and tough to put down, and ultimately, that's all it's about. It isn't rich in features yet, but with a content roadmap in place, this potentially looks like "the next big thing," although it's marginally held back by a lack of content and song variety for now.
Despite the lack of content overall, Pistol Whip is still a game that will give players plenty of fun as you blast your way through hundreds of henchmen leaving you feeling like a total badass
Pistol Whip absorbs all the best of its sources of inspiration to deliver an audiovisual experience unlike any other before on PlayStation VR. Hardly any other game will make you feel like the real John Wick, and that's all thanks to its incredibly fun and challenging gameplay. The game offers a great starter package, with interesting content and full of replay factor, which will certainly benefit over time. For anyone looking for a good dose of fun and exercise in one place, this is definitely one of the best choices.
