Description: Combining fast paced action, realistic weapons and engaging arena environments, BULLET HEAT engineers a world of combat, experimental physics interaction and high replay value. Freely interact in a open shooting range, fight off waves of enemies using an array of weapons and experiment with a gravity gun to interact with physics objects, cover systems, and even build your own arena.

Review: ‘BULLET HEAT’ would like you to think it was the new Boneworks style game, but trust me, it is nowhere near that level of creativity and polish. This is a VR sandbox shooter with some small wave-based enemies to kill as the “game” side of things. There are quite a few different guns and melee weapons to enjoy and there are 10+ environments to enjoy, but it is all the same things, the same enemies, over and over. This “game” reeks of asset flip and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was ALL just one giant asset flip.

You can have a little bit of fun messing around in this game, but definitely nowhere near the current asking price as there is no scores, no challenge and no real fun other than the type you make up yourself because the game gets so boring! Maybe one day it will have more content and more…originality, but for now, I am giving it the thumbs down especially given that you can get a Boneworks steam key for the same price (if you shop around).
