Pistol whip is great fun. One of my favourite VR games. While I think something like Beat Saber is probably better purely as a rythm game, I think just the whole combination of fun music, vibrant levels and satisfying gun mechanics is why I see myself playing this much more often than any other rythm game. Definitely a good work out too. It's worth it even for the full price but if you get it during a sale, it's a no-brainer imo.
Runs fantastic on Steam Frame standalone. Also a pretty good workout!
ISSUE: Black Screen on Launch Our developers are aware of and actively investigating an issue where users encounter a black screen when launching Pistol Whip. Rest assured we are hard at work on this. In the meantime, some users have found playing Pistol Whip offline as a successful workaround. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR 4 YEARS!!!
