Cactus Cowboy Portal VR

Cactus Cowboy Portal VR is an action-adventure and puzzle game from Cactus VR Studios starring the studio's cactus hero. It was released on the Meta Horizon Store on March 31, 2021.

How it plays

Cactus Cowboy has been kidnapped and locked up in a strange laboratory deep underground. Your job is to fight your way back up to the surface. The tools for the escape are a pair of Portal Revolvers, the twin guns that give the game its name, and the store files the game under both adventure and puzzle.

The store description is only one sentence long, so it does not spell out the number of levels, how long the game runs or how the portal mechanics work in detail. Treat it as a compact single-player outing rather than a large campaign.

Portal VR is one of several Cactus Cowboy games from the same studio. Cactus VR Studios also has Cactus Cowboy - Fully Loaded, a story-driven shooter about an alien robot invasion, and Cactus Cowboy - Plants At War, a WW2-themed story shooter, on the Meta Horizon Store. All three share the same cactus world.

Comfort

It supports standing and room-scale play, using motion controllers. There is no seated mode listed, so plan to play on your feet.
