Duck Season Reviews

love this game

When I think of a really good VR game, a couple of options come to mind, but my first ever that I discovered was Duck Season. I remember watching CoryxKenshin play it when I was a lot younger, and I was hooked. Even though I was spoiled on the endings of the game, I thought to myself, "One day...one day I'll be able to experience it." That day wasn't today actually, but I did still play it. I have discovered that Stress Level Zero loves to make bangers, apparently, cause playing it for myself was even better than I remember. Sure, it was mainly a game where you shoot ducks and get into the lore of a literal killer game with horror aspects to it. However, there was something about being able to pump and load that shotgun for myself, the one gun that had me believing pump-action shotguns were the best when I was a kid. Now let me actually start talking about how I feel about the game. Duck Season has a very fun gameplay loop, and I love all the little adverts and commercials that come on after you play another level of Duck Season. The world that is your living room is so interactable, and I love how you can play other games than just Duck Season. If I had to name one favorite thing from the living room section, it would definitely be the crappy movie commercials that come on after you play a round, they gave me a good chuckle with how awkward and abrupt they were. The story is really what catches me on though, an interesting concept that is executed well in the form of seven different endings. Without spoiling it though, if the 'canon ending' really is THE canon ending, that honestly would suck, if I'm being honest. :( When I was a kid though, the sounds of that shotgun being loaded, pumped back and fired at all those ducks really triggered something in my brain. Those noises to me were so satisfying that it really made me want to experience this for myself. Even today, I still love hopping into the game and firing off that shotgun, really gotta give credit to the sound designers to make something sound so powerful and addicting to play with. Of course, I do have some mini gripes with the game, like how you can't pump the gun back with one hand, or how your other hand has to be as close to the shotgun as possible or otherwise it'll come off the pump, and things like that. Other than that though, I have nothing but praises to sing to SL0 for making such a fun and interesting game. With all the content that's in the game, I'd say it's worth the 20$ price tag, and I absolutely recommend this game who wants a fun, but kind of scary VR game in their lives.

Fun horror game although the controls them self feel bad as i don't believe they were mapped well for any controller besides the vive wands

The pump action shotgun in this game just feels so nice. The canon ending is pretty fun. And wish there could be an endless [spoiler] zombie [/spoiler](spoiler alert) mode. It just feels so nice to pump and shot, don't know if any game implement that but only a VR slam firing shotgun could top this.
