Description: A ridiculous VR game about fighting bloodthirsty and increasingly deadly sharks using makeshift weapons. Elevate the battle from the open ocean to the skies, and even into space! The sharks will stop at nothing to devour a tasty human.
Review: While it is a little gory at times (in a low-poly way) ‘Overboard’ is a lighthearted game about shooting sharks in the water, in the sky and eventually in space! It’s mostly an action shooter but you do get a little bit of freedom of movement to explore your surroundings. It has to be said ‘Overboard”s graphics are not the best the game does offer a few laughs. OK, so probably not £3.99’s worth of laughs, but if you got this as part of a cheap bundle with other games for just pennies you should appreciate it a lot more than I did. It’s worth a look I suppose, just not worth the current asking price.
