Firewall Zero Hour

The controls (especially with the PS Aim controller), atmosphere, and well-designed maps help this VR tactical shooter truly stand out from other PlayStation VR games. The immersion level of Firewall Zero Hour, thanks to the PSVR, kicks up the action to another level, and this is further boosted with the use of the PS Aim controller over a regular DualShock 4 wireless controller. It's very engaging to literally extend your arms in real life and reach around a corner to fire at unsuspecting enemies. The impressive 360-degree graphics and 3D audio work together to create a realistic overall experience. The squad-based objectives are smart, and there's a lot you can buy with your earned XP or with real money. If you get a good group together, this is a really fun and challenging game, with good location and map variety.

The biggest shortcoming is that it only has one main game mode, Contracts, which might grow old for some after a few weeks of playing. Yes, you can customize the experience a bit (and each of the dozen contractors have a unique perk to start with), but it would be great if the developers added additional game modes over time -- perhaps a solid cooperative (co-op) mode (not just training) to significantly extend the legs of this game. Another issue is the game's long load times, which might also be fixed somewhat with an update, and you might be waiting around in a lobby for a while for everyone to join in. Finally, there isn't a huge assortment of weapons to use in combat. But this is a minor problem, because the weapons that are included feel very good in your hands when you use them. Overall, Firewall Zero Hour is tons of fun for those who enjoy this genre -- and it's even more enjoyable if you own the gun-shaped PS Aim controller for added immersion.
