“Arizona Sunshine is a great VR game and really does well to create an immersive atmosphere, though occasionally stumbles in its execution.”

“It's not hard to see why Arizona Sunshine comes so highly acclaimed: its undead slaughtering story mode is undoubtedly dated, but the novelty of virtual reality keeps it alive. Unfortunately, this PlayStation VR version toys with Sony's full roster of input options, and never really settles upon one that feels right. It's a shame because there is a lot to like here, from the vibrant visuals to the generous helping of solo and multiplayer content, but without a comfortable means of controlling any of it, your enthusiasm will very quickly cool.”

“Arizona Sunshine is at its absolute best when it takes a step back, places you in an enclosed environment and turns off the lights with one stage entrapping you in a pitch-black mine, with your only light source for some stretches being a single flashlight. It is easily the standout moment of the game, creating an unsettling sense of dread that shows the team have a real knack for the more horror focussed roots the genre has. In 2016 it was understandable that such a title would become a favourite among fans, and it is great to see a VR game sustain momentum for this amount of time. Yet with the likes of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners also finding their way onto quest, offering a far more refined and in-depth experience, it is hard to get super excited about it. What Arizona Sunshine does provide is a fun arcade zombie shooter, and while it may not keep your attention for hours on end, offers a solid blast of undead killing action.”

“If you're serious about PlayStation VR and love first person shooters, Arizona Sunshine is a no-brainer. Mowing down mobs of the undead is immensely satisfying with a great spread of weapons and plenty of opportunities to have some fun.”

“The award-wining PC game finally comes to PSVR, but does this port hold up?”

“An interesting technical experiment, but serious control issues and a lack of variety result in an only intermittingly enjoyable VR shooter.”

“The PSVR version of Arizona Sunshine suffers from porting issues like horrible pop-in and wonky controls. Even beyond those issues, it's a boring FPS with a terrible main character and uninteresting gameplay.”

“Despite the good intentions of the developers, Arizona Sunshine is yet another PSVR game that is plagued by unoptimized controls, queasy camera movement and an overall brief and unremarkable experience that barely qualifies it as a rental, where such an option even possible.”

“Arizona Sunshine is straight-up fun to play, and the game's sound design is particularly noteworthy… Pop on a set of decent headphones and the 3D sound comes alive with braying zombies all around you, with things becoming nerve-wracking pretty quickly.”

“Arizona Sunshine for the PSVR just doesn't quite have the polish of Farpoint, which set a new bar for FPS VR titles on the platform. Although, if you just want to blast zombies in a VR setting it has you covered.”

“All that’s said and done, Arizona Sunshine just falls short of being a true classic. While there is a really solid and very welcome VR experience to be had here, and one that offers the player a full campaign experience and more rather than just a series of co-joined mini-games, there are just too many niggling things that hold it back.”

“Arizona Sunshine would be great VR shooter, if only the developer knew how to use Sony's gear. Motion controls are done badly and it takes the fun out of whole experience.”
