Time Patrol Reviews

Fun, but very short.

Simple shooting gallery with cute low-poly graphics. Rather short and not very innovative, but well executed. Got this for two Euros and had half an hour of fun, then I got bored.

It's a decent small scale game. Played through the story mode and kinda enjoyed it. Felt like the mission briefings lasted longer than any of the missions themselves. So even with me taking 41 minutes to finish the game there is no doubt in my mind that the actual gameplay doesn't make up much of that time. The game is cheap so it's hard to give it a negative review. Although I'd still say to grab it on sale I guess.

Short story: it's the closest think to Point Blank in VR and worth the £3 I paid for it. But it's a bit janky. I have no idea why there isn't an official Point Blank VR, as it's the natural home of lightgun style games, but we'll get there eventually. This game takes familiar presentation and mechanics from that series, and puts a time travel twist on them. So if you like one-shotting an apple off a character's head one round, and shooting dozens of bottles another, this is the best - and only - game in town for VR so far. The accuracy doesn't always feel *quite* right, and there are some ridiculous difficulty spikes. It could do with more minigames too, and it has a habit of freezing on the game start screen when you press face buttons on the Quest 2 controller, but if you can get past that, it's a fun enough game. And cheap enough to find out for yourself.

‘Time Patrol’ is a low-poly shooting game in which you have to perform various tasks as quickly as you can often with limited ammo. You will be shooting apples, apples off peoples heads and even some other fruits! (OK, so there are bad guys and bottles, but not a lot of variety at all). If you just stick to the “normal” difficulty you will be through this game is less game 10 minutes, but if you are willing to make a score challenge out of it and try the harder difficulties you should be able to find your money’s worth here and the good news is it really isn’t a lot of money at all. If ever a game was deserving of a “meh” award this would be it. Give it a go if you are bored, but don’t expect more than the tiny sum you are paying for.
