Have you ever pretended your hand is a plane/spaceship and zoomed it around going "pew! pew!" blowing up bad guys? Ever play a "bullet hell" game and thought it might be cool in full VR? Shooty Skies Overdrive let's you play pretend again, and shows just how cool it can be. There are Power Ups to give your off-hand things to do (with full right/left handed support) and difficulty levels that live up to the name "Overdrive." Progression, checkpoints and gameplay unlocks help keep things fresh, and let's you tweak numbers to get the Power Ups you prefer. Nothing hugely sophisticated, but varied and hectic enough to keep me coming back for more. Bright but low-fi graphics means it runs like silk, even with a million bullets in your face.

Final Verdict: Like Pistol Whip, its a fun pick-up-and-play game: while I probably won't sink many hours into it at a time, I do see myself dropping back in for a spin on a regular basis.

Here is the first world gameplay (and starting the second), with no commentary: https://youtu.be/_C7u_Xv40MQ
