Expect manual reloading, climbing, dual-wielding, and a highly interactive environment.

But these small irritations dont take much away from the excellent experience Vertigo Games has crafted here.

Freds (un)dead, baby

Theres a strong sense of realism here, especially in regards to accuracy and recoil.

Actually fighting zombies inArizona Sunshine 2is a joy.

When met with a bullet, their heads pop like watermelons with the sound design to match.

Dealing with faster zombies?

you might shoot out their legs as an effective means of crowd control.

Its all brought together by how youll manually handle each gun in the game.

Arizona Sunshine 2 accessibility options

So much so that you could almost classArizona Sunshine 2as a dog-walking simulator.

Just one with guns and Molotov cocktails and nasty bitey zombies.

Sorry, yes… Freds.

Also noteworthy is Buddys AI, which seriously impresses.

Buddy feels extremely intelligent and is very responsive to commands.

If I told Buddy to do something, he did so almost immediately every single time.

By comparison, the zombies artificial intelligence isnt quite as sharp.

To a degree, youd expect that; they are zombies, after all.

Ultimately, though, oddities like this do not detract from the fantastic experienceArizona Sunshine 2puts forward.

Accessibility

Arizona Sunshine 2is very accommodating for VR players of all kinds.
