A desert flattened by the sun, zombies closing in from every side, and a shotgun you are actually holding in your hands.

On the gut pick, with no criterion, Arizona Sunshine VR Remake lands ahead of a third of games. Honest, nothing more. The detail is more contrasted than it looks. Controller feel and the wish to rediscover it are its best lines, ahead of roughly 38 to 39% of games: VR does what VR does, it gives weight to the gesture. But the desert island drops to 6%, and above all the art direction and the soundtrack collapse to the very bottom of the rankings. Fun, oddly, stays low too. Still, careful: each criterion rests on three to five duels only, these are early votes, not a carved verdict.

That is the structural problem for this kind of title here. A VR shooter is judged on sensation, yet it faces games rated on memory, aesthetics and soundtrack. A generic desert and a discreet score have nothing to leave behind with a community that votes on what stuck with them.

So, who is it for? For you if you own a headset, if you want tense four-player co-op zombie shooting and the raw pleasure of reloading by hand. Much less so if you want a world you will still remember in ten years.
