Description: Fight off steam-powered machines literally bent on destroying you. Use your arsenal of modified western weapons to fight back, using abilities such as shields and slow motion to get the upper hand. Use Room-Scale VR to duck and dive behind cover (you may even find yourself rolling and army crawling around to avoid fire). The weapons at your disposal range from scoped revolver snipers to Gatling rifles.
Review: There are hundreds of shooting games for our VR headsets so making yet another one means you need to bring something new to the table, something exciting. Sadly Cogs and Cowboys doesn’t bring that and instead brings the tried and tested stand and shoot gameplay we have all seen before. It’s not that this is a terrible game for £2.09 because it really isn’t, it’s just that there is nothing new here to keep you coming back. No multiplayer, no amazing graphics, just a good old classic shooter and little more. And yet for the price, it is just about worth a download, but if you can grab it in a sale that would be even better. Worth a look, but don’t expect much here.
