総評

Arizona Sunshine 2 is one of the most satisfying shooters in VR, carried by precise gunplay, a lovable dog companion and a co-op campaign that critics enjoyed. Launch bugs, a clumsy inventory and a slow first half keep it just short of the top tier.

This review is an AI-written assessment. It is based on official game details and on what published reviews broadly agree on, not on hands-on play.

What it is

Arizona Sunshine 2 is a zombie shooter from Vertigo Games, the Dutch studio behind the 2016 original. It launched on December 7, 2023 on the Meta Horizon Store, SteamVR, the PlayStation Store for PlayStation VR2 and the PICO Store, and it is also on Viveport. UploadVR listed it at $49.99, and MIXED noted a $60 Deluxe Edition.

You play a foul-mouthed, lonely survivor crossing post-apocalyptic Arizona with Buddy, a dog you can send to attack zombies. Vertigo highlights an all-new melee system, a gore system that lets you take zombies apart, and weapons from shotguns to flamethrowers. The campaign can be played solo or in co-op, and a separate Horde mode offers wave-based survival. Reviewers put the campaign at about six to nine hours.

The series is now branching out. Vertigo's site lists this game as Arizona Sunshine VR 2. The official Arizona Sunshine site promotes a separate third-person, non-VR co-op game for PC and consoles, dated January 21, 2027, in which you can play as Buddy.

Strengths

Gunplay. UploadVR praised "outstanding action", and Road to VR singled out its pump-action shotguns. MIXED and Finger Guns both called the shooting precise, with step-by-step reloads.
Buddy. MIXED called the dog "the secret star" of the game. UploadVR found that using Buddy for crowd control kept fights engaging and gave the story its heart.
Writing and acting. UploadVR rated the voice performance among the best in games. MIXED found the story grew more emotional and varied in the second half.
Co-op. Road to VR's 8/10 verdict rested largely on co-op, where it found the most memorable moments and laughs. COGconnected called it one of the best co-op experiences in VR.

Weaknesses

Bugs and physics. UploadVR hit a level with freezes and a crash, MIXED saw glitchy doors and floating characters, and Road to VR said the physics seemed to run at half framerate, causing hand clipping.
Inventory. Road to VR found the holster and ammo pouch layout clumsy, and Finger Guns found larger weapons hard to handle.
Uneven pacing. Road to VR and MIXED both described a slow, repetitive first half before the game picks up.
Thin Horde mode. UploadVR noted just one map at launch, and COGconnected called the mode "a little basic".
Plain environments. Finger Guns found areas varied but "a little plain in detail", with limited enemy variety.

Who it suits

It suits players who want an action shooter with a sense of humour, and especially pairs of friends looking for a co-op campaign. Road to VR scored comfort 8/10, so most players who already handle smooth movement should be fine; newer players can check our guide on motion sickness in VR. MIXED warns that it includes violence against animals, which may be upsetting in VR. Expect crude language and a lot of gore.

How it compares

Against The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Arizona Sunshine 2 is more of an arcade shooter, with a linear campaign and a dog companion rather than survival systems and crafting. It does not reach the physics detail or polish of Half-Life: Alyx, but it runs standalone on Meta Quest 3 and supports co-op, which Alyx does not.

Scores were mostly strong. UploadVR gave it 5 out of 5, Road to VR 8/10 and COGconnected 78/100, while MIXED recommended it outright. Reviewers agree on excellent shooting, a standout companion and great co-op. Bugs, a slow first half and a basic Horde mode are the main complaints.
