After some time with the game, you’ll be familiar with the recoil and reload of each weapon, which can make picking up varied weapons and building up kill streaks an absolute thrill. There’s tens of gun types, ranging from snipers to shotguns to rocket launchers, and you’ll have to figure out the little intricacies of reloading them and getting used to how they all work. Starting with just a pistol and working your way up, the mode gives you a chance to explore Pavlov’s entire arsenal.Īcross all game modes, the game’s arsenal is extensive. Players are granted new guns and gear every round, which are used to move you forward in the round. It’s playable, if very tough, in single player mode, but can be incredibly rewarding with a couple of friends. There’s also a zombie mode, which is both spooky and surprisingly engaging, combining fast-moving zombies with creepy settings. There’s the standard competitive game modes like Team Deathmatch or Search and Destroy, where you’re tasked with eliminating the enemy team or planting bombs respectively.

There’s no single player campaign and while many of the modes can be played offline with bots, it’s online multiplayer that is the real draw here. Outside of a handful of small tutorial sections and the gun practice ranges, Pavlov has a generous offering of different modes at launch. Movements feel consistent and your actions feel weighty. Guns can be customized with sights and attachments, for example, which resulted in tangible differences to the way I played by making some guns feel heavier or changing the way I held others.Įven small details, like reaching up to your ear to use the radio or dropping the mag to reload your weapon, are satisfying in the way they straddle a line between being a game and mimicking real life. Upon booting up the tutorial, one of the major things that stuck in my mind was how necessary everything feels. Luckily, it’s an excellent sandbox for creating your own fun. There is no narrative to follow, no guided paths – just whatever fun you can create. Packing a Punchįundamentally, Pavlov brings the tried-and-tested formula of Counter-Strike into VR, with all the thrills and pains of team-based matches. It offers an arsenal of guns that feel great to use with solid feedback, and there’s plenty of replayability to be found if you’ve got a squad to play with. However, this is one of the few launch titles that I could see myself playing a year from now. Plus, your fun is almost entirely reliant on having others to play with.

It is somewhat let down by smaller lobby sizes and a lack of player progression. Its goal isn’t to show you shocking sights or frightening sounds, but instead is wholly dedicated to the pure spectacle of FPS gameplay. While Pavlov is a PSVR 2 launch title, it doesn’t try to wow you in the way most VR games do.
