Have you ever played Arizona Sunshine 1? Buy this. Everything's better, all for the better. And get the remake while you're at it. Great games.

Never played Arizona Sunshine? Where have you been since 2016? Okay, I'll be fair. VR was kinda new at the time, very expensive to get in (still is), Meta and Alyx weren't a thing yet, we were all figuring things out. AS had the complete foundation of what makes VR compelling: a functional, immersive and beautiful take of putting anyone in a zombie apocalypse. It wasn't perfect, but still was the best complete software to test out your VR-compatible NVIDIA card and $1200 headset and controllers. One of the better gun physics and mechanics in any VR title, simple objectives, plenty of room to move with comfort vignette and optional teleportation, and options to cater to the disabled or lazy. And free updates! Horde mode, two-handed weapons, cosmetics, what a package.

AS2 is all that, and takes a lot of the less-appreciated elements and improved them. More varied objectives, less hallways and dead zones (there are still some, but you have to force your way in there), more weapons, optional advanced reload mechanics, quick and easy melee weapons, MORE cosmetics, better landscapes. Both AS and AS2 have co-op multiplayer in the campaign, but while you needed a friend with another $1200, powerful PC rig and Internet connection, in AS2 you're given an AI companion, a Woofers! He's a killer, no ammo required! And he holds stuff, and he knows where to go and what to do at your command. and he's got mad hops, and he plays fetch. Not as perfectly impressive as the falcon in Falcon Age, but a very good companion. Who needs a friend with $2000 to burn when you can have a virtual dog? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Go buy this, and get the upcoming AS remake while you're at. Buy these games, now.

And yes, you can pet the dog. In VR.
