Crossfire: Sierra Squad | PSVR2 REVIEW 

Now this is what I've been waiting for, single player campaign, enhanced difficulty, cooperative missions, polished graphics, minimal bugs and leader boards, I AM IN! As always, another informative and thorough review. Thanks dude!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME!!!!! Great review Bryan. 🙌💙

Reminds me on the good old lightgun-days in the 90,s and early 2000's like timecrisis, house of dead and something.. straight fun ❤

Great review! Exactly the same thoughts I had about this game, expected a big budget Time Crisis style game and it delivered exactly that, it's just really fun.

Thanks for this review! Inspired me to buy the game when I was on the fence - played the first 3 levels, really enjoying it! This a great game for the more causal gamer crowd who isn’t trying to master reload mechanics 😅

I caved yesterday. Watched this review and a few others and actually found myself pacing up and down in my kitchen for like an hour and then thought. Sod it, I'm getting one! 😂 I'm now part of the club and man alive! I couldn't be happier. Great piece of kit!

Yup. This was the confirmation I was looking for. Buying it today 🔥

I was on the fence about getting this, but it’s great fun. Visuals and performance are really good. Guns look, sound and feel great. I love the zoom on the sights.

I think I might have to buy this game

My only issue is that you have to play through a bullet sponge mode to unlock realism mode, which I feel should be the default. :/ Other than that this looks like this is a buy for me. Which is great considering the disappointment of firewall.

This is what i want more of on PSVR2, more high quality arcade shooters in the vein of house of the dead, time crisis, virtua cop, and of-course more AAA hybrid games ala GT7/RE4/REVIIIage

It sounds promising but I'll wait a week until new game hype dies down, if opinions are still good then, I'll pick it up. I'd still like to see you do an immediate review of Firewall but I respect your reasons for not doing so. My opinion is that if they decide to release a game, then it's open season for reviews on day 1, regardless if they promise to release imminent updates. Consumers need protection. I respect you and your channel, number 1 for me ❤

Cool I was waiting for your review to buy or not and now I will buy it🔥🔥

So glad this turned out to be a banger!!

After the disappointment that is not being able to party-up with friends to play in Firewall Ultra public lobbies, I am so happy to see a quality video review for Crossfire: Sierra Squad where you are clearly able to party up and play 2P co-op mode as well as 4P horde mode. Also happy to hear the progression system is rewarding and that the hardcore mode is available at launch and unlocked by beating the campaign for a different type of player experience.

Thanks for the review Bryan. I have a feeling this is going to be my go-to Shooter. I love everything you have described and my download has just completed.

Still my most trusted source for no bullshit VR Reviews!! Nice One Bryan! Ya never steer us wrong.

People without psvr2 really crying right now. This game rocks!!!!!

Out of all the military shooters we've been having lately this is the one that I'm most excited to play

I'm loving this game,if only firewall could have weapons like this,they feel and aim just right.

Was waiting for your review. Will buy it when get in ftom work. Thanks

⁠​​⁠awesome, btw this game was never marketed as “call of duty vr”. It clearly kept saying “arcade” in the marketing. I like Time Crisis and not needed every shooter to be the “Gran Turismo of Military Games”. Go join the army dude, lol

This or Firewall. After this review compared to Sierra. I’m buying this.

As someone who grew up on playing arcade shooters....this game has so far answered the call. Enjoying it so far.

Came back here to just say.. Bryan, its really heartening to see that you've lost none of your enthusiasm and sense of wonder for VR. Where others have perhaps become jaded or allow their own expectations to get in the way of what is actually presented to them, you always review a game as it IS, not what you thought it should be. Now, in this particular case, some people are saying the studio may have given a false impression in their promotional material of what this game plays like, and if that's true then that may be a problem, BUT regardless it is still wise to review a game as you find it, and not with preconceptions. In short, I'm hyped for this game and can't wait to play a quality arcade shooter. Also.. weird bug, likes are stuck on 1.

I‘m soooo excited and also feel anxious about your experience with the game. I can‘t stop thinking about the bravo team fiasco and simply hope for the best… looking forward to your review!!

Awesome! I was bummed about firewall at first, it kinda grew on me after a week of playing. But this release had me so much more hyped.

Glad I didn't put all my eggs on the Firewall basket. In fact, all my eggs were always in the Sierra Squad basket. Gladly spending those 30 scones on this today!

Blood and Truth delivered some pretty good cinematic experience with good mission variety, including inside vehicles.

Ii just bought the game and i love this game 😊

OK. So a lot more arcadey (and more multiplayer based) than I expected, but still looks a lot of fun.

This looks like fun! After the disappointment that was Firewall, this is very welcomed!

Sounds great, this is exactly the sort of thing I look for in an FPS. Was waiting to see how the Pavlov/Firewall/Crossfire thing shakes down, I'm thinking Crossfire

Great review! Love the time crisis comparison! Definately felt the same way!

If only I could refund the broken game Firewall ultra to buy this instead

Have you've never played a Call of Duty? They've been like this since 2008's Modern Warfare, this is way more COD in VR than Time Crisis.

Yeah this game is great! It’s worth going into the options straight away to turn on your off-hand influencing the weapon aim and crouch, which are both puzzling off by default

Ok so I noticed several bugs but they managed to fix some with the patch. Good game. 👍👍👍 On Episode 7 It got stuck. I tried to reset the checkpoint and on the 4th try it worked. The door opened. These are the bugs that can happen but overall a very good game! Very well made. Bugs always happens.🎉😂

What. A. Game. Really, REALLY good shooting game. Exactly what I wanted. I used to load up Pavlov for a bit of fun and sure to go back to it sometime but just for fun shooting, this hits the spot for me. Looks clean and crisp, great sound and I like the mostly automated reload. Perhaps a manual will be an option in the future but auto is fine. Enjoyable 'campaign' but oh my, the tonnes of Squad missions are fab - currently on series 3 of I think there's 8. Brrrrrrrrting a bad guy on ful auto never gets old and popping heads with the Deagle at close to mid range is just awesome. Erm, and how many updates have the devs done already so quickly after launch. Played a mission last night, it was raining and the reflections and detail on the gun were stunning. Really happy to be giving this game some love and appreciative of your work Bryan.

I like this game. Getting used to auto reload tho but every gun feels great. The gun snapping to your face when you bring it close and the scope taking up the entire screen were probably my only gripes. But this is a much more complete Vr experience than Firewall

Definitely overselling it. I was hoping for firewall and crossfire to put pavlov to shame in different ways but they both seem half-cocked for now. I do feel you about get your money 4 crossfire but I sure hope to see some fine tuning. And normal multiplayer

I'm pretty sure with future updates this will be 10 out of 10. Must buy for me

So far I'm loving this game! The co-op is incredibly fun.

Awesome game realism mode adds so much. Still go in from time to time on level 57

Another great review Bryan. I'm loving this game. Does what I want from a shooter. The guns sound and feel brilliant. Its just a fun game, very playable. Its a buy if you like arcade shooters

As always, great Review, Bryan. It's downloading, can' wait.

it's really a great arcade-like shooter, that fits perfectly on the psvr2. i like the vibe and tone, it doesn't take itself too seriously and has a great 90's lightgun feeling, enhanced by virtual reality, like when one of those tank guys with a giant hammer comes storming at you - just imposing and great. thumbs up.

Great review Bryan. Go on then, I'm in👍👍

Would have been cool to have a pvp multiplayer

This is a fun game, I dont know what the hate is about. Make sure if you are playing with a gun stock though, you turn up the magnetism in the options because otherwise you wont grip a lot of the guns properly, which is fairly annoying but once I figured that out it worked beautifully. Also, I really appreciate that they dont base your movement on how your holding your hands and its just based on the analog stick inputs. Its been driving me nuts how so many of these games have this stupid hybrid movement control system that seems to want to use how your holding your hands and the analog inputs. I dont know why these devs insist on designing it that way. we have the analog sticks for a reason, use them, they work really well, I dont want to have to fucking start moving backwards when my hands are by my side. If I wanted to move backwards I would hold the analog stick down, its that easy, thanks crossfire for not having a stupid movement system, it makes a big difference for my enjoyment of the game.

I care more about the single player part and to know its super short. ill wait till there is a sell. don't want to or care to play with others.

Is anyone else having the same issue as me ? Can’t connect to private rooms or play with friends It finds the host the send you back to the range not in a party We have tried everything we can think of is anyone else having this or know how to fix it ???

Yooooo, thought this was another Firewall type game, as soon as Brian mentioned Namco classic this immediately turned into my next PSVR2 purchase.

Played it now and have to say (as a Pavlov connoisseur) I'm surprisingly happy with automatic reloads. Sniping mechanics are surprisingly awesome too - didn't expect that. The graphics are awesome, the hardest difficulty is nice, tho I feel like enemies are way too spongy and AI si simply not existing. Had to drop the game tho due to one major flaw I just can't get over - the way hands interact with the gun. The automatic snapping to the guns is basically broken and I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't allow me to disable that. My hands often get glued to the gun right as I want to reload. Right after reload if the hand automatically grabs, you end up with awkward hand position not reflecting the actual gun position. If you push against obstacles, this gets often amplified and it really feels bad to have hands in so many different positions to point into the same direction in this game (you feel so disconnected from the weapon you are holding...). Waiting for patches as this made the game unplayable for me - every time the hand position gets wanky It basically infuriates me as you suddenly have to focus directly on fixing that by ungrabbing the weapon or whatever else is necessary and amount of times my hand didn't want to let go of the weapon and basically killed me is way too high.

This is a much more positive impression than I was hearing from people who started streaming it on launch day. Really glad to hear this is a good title with a lot of value. I think a lot of people were expecting it to be more of a traditional campaign shooter, which I could understand leading to disappointment. Seems like there's a lot to love here if you go in with the right expectations.

This looks more fun than Firewall Ultra honestly! I'll be keeping an eye on a sale for it!

I wanna give this a try but Im kinda doubtful after being disappointed with Crossfire X on Xbox lol.

Nice!! Sounds brilliant. Tho, as is the norm now, feel like i will wait a few weeks to see if they fix some of the issues you mentioned.

It really does look like a modern take on a light gun game but actually done right! Looking at you Operation Wolf Returns! Vehicles would've made it even better but even so, this looks pretty Rad!

I'm so glad I didn't get Firewall, I might scoop this though!

I have been waiting for this game and firewall ultra to make my first purchase

I was thinking about playing this in realistic mode for the first playthrough. Has anyone tried this with any opinions on the experience?

...thanks Bryan. That's a relief it's good. It's downloading now!

Yo, REALISM MODE is a totally different experience than 💩arcade mode....a lot of content, low price, 9/10

Ok you have me sold on it. Was a little worried considering crossfire x

Great review!

Crossfire…. you’ll be caught up in the, Crossfire….. Crossfire….. Crossfirrrrrrreeeee!!

Yeah, this game doesn't look that bad, I dont know why but beardo was super negative about it, but I think we all lowered our expectations when it came out it was only $30. I think there could be some fun to be had here for a few hours for sure!

Yep, I'm buying

This is looking really good, great review thanks Bryan

Birthday is coming up and I’ve been keeping up with coverage/updates with this game. I don’t understand the time crisis comparisons because this game reminds me of Sega’s arcade/wii game Ghost Squad. I’m thrilled to play this when my physical copy comes in later this month.

This is the game I was hoping firewall ultra would be. I'm sold!

This video confirms my theory how much low starndard PSVR players are. 8,7/10? Seriously? When the reviews on PCVR are mostly negative at 28%?

About halfway through the co-op missions and am having an absolute blast. Still baffles how badly received this was by other reviewers at launch, this is one of the stronger non-PVP VR shooters currently out there, with only Zero Calibre giving it a challenge.

Was waiting for this review before buying. So stoked it came so close to launch! Thank you Bryan

It makes me so sad so many people are review bombing this on steam... it looks amazing. 💪💪💪

Glad to hear this game is fun, I was a bit concerned that the last Crossfire game was one of the worst reviewed games of the generation and was really itching for a single player tactical shooter, definitely gonna put this on my list.

Let's go! Realism Mode is the only way I'm playing

I really fancied this game but I don't play online nor do I have PS+ or whatever it's called these days, so am reliant on single player campaigns, and when you said about 3 hours that's it for me, I might pick it up in a sale but not now. Besides, I bought Walkabout Mini Golf last week completely on a whim after your reviews (don't care much for golf whether mini or otherwise) and I'm having a BLAST on that game, really good fun.

I have the ps5 set up for hardest difficulty, having to beat the game to open up realism mode is a turn off! Why do that?

Been on my wishlist for month. Can’t wait to give it a try.

Thanks for actually completing the game and putting out your thoughts👍 very informative and concise.. it’s a download for me love a good light shooter

Time Crisis you say? Guess this is a must buy for me then 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the game, great review Bryan!

Time Crisis without even a fraction of the style and flair. I love Western developers!

The lack of a pvp mode kills me :(

This was a perfect review can you recommend anything similar to this ?

This looks so much better than I expected it to be

lets goooo. its starting

8.7 and you gave Synapse an 8.0?! The gunplay of this game looks worse to me.

I wasted my money on that other ultra dumbster fire of game. I should've spent it on this.

omg this looks depressingly awful. A house of the dead style almost on rails shooter with trashy heath bars. I though we were getting a VR style COD campaign. That’s all anyone wants. After this and firewall, it seems that we aren’t getting a decent single player shooter anytime soon.

Can u upgrade weapons without multiplayer./psplus.??

B had to hurry and get the good news out! Good job sir!

Pro tip for anyone experiencing control issues like Ian Higton reported... mess about with the control options. Theres a load of very useful sliders to adjust basically every aspect of the controls. This game is sublime.

I assumed this would be terrible after Crossfire X. Buying this for sure! Seems like a better buy than the $40 I spent on Firewall Ultra so far . . .

Phew! 😅

Does it play like a free roaming Blood & Truth?

I loved what they showed in trailers but after trying, this is completely different than what I expected. Hands and guns are too big, some grip angles of few weapons feels really off, also left handed mode switching function of the joysticks is what made me to request my first PS refund lol. Glad it found some fans though.

Sounds like a minor improvements patch would push it up to a 9. I'm on the fence between waiting or just getting it now. Would probably wait for a patch or a sale

Worth it to play alone? Is there reprojection? Motion sickness?
