What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The more you shoot and dodge in time with the beat, the better your score—and the more satisfying the gameplay becomes.
Pistol Whip is very welcoming to new players thanks to fair aim helper system and multiple levels of difficulty adjustments - you can disable enemy shots, make them vulnerable, make yourself invulnerable etc. - all to make the game fun.
The soundtrack features high-energy tracks from genres like synthwave and electronic, and every song is tightly integrated into the design of each level.
The gunplay feels so nice but if it intimidates you don't worry there is a pretty generous aim assist.
I'm somewhat picky with games, especially if they feature funky graphics, but this is really fun, right from the start!
I do like the music selection and the cool little story missions that're currently available.
