Action Hero Review: Lights, Camera, Action!
- Fast Travel Games' latest title, Action Hero, is a VR action FPS where you become the protagonist of five different movies and delivers a satisfying VR FPS that pays tribute to the silver screen.
- Half of the magic lies in its setting and as an unnamed actor, the protagonist plays the film's protagonist while filming five movies.
- Each movie gets delightfully more unhinged as you advance with some wonderful over-the-top parodies follow on everything from heist films to The Matrix.
- Much like Superhot VR, the slow-motion gameplay affords you time to carefully consider your environments with a great variety of weapons including throwing stars, bones, swords, and shotguns.
- Action Hero doesn't use free movement across levels, automatically teleporting you to different areas as you progress.
- Finishing movies on harder difficulties leaves a sense of accomplishment, but being able to dial down the heat in 'Relaxed Mode' is equally welcome.
- Completing movies unlocks the next one, and beating the whole campaign unlocks a Director's Cut version with more challenging and increasingly unhinged directorial demands.
- Fast Travel is targeting Quest 2, Quest Pro, and Quest 3/3S but on Meta's latest headset, some environments and special effects could be stronger.
- Playing on the default difficulty settings with some tweaks during tougher segments, beating both the entire campaign and Director's Cut versions of each movie took me roughly five hours to beat, with multiple reshoots required.
- Action Hero is a refreshingly enjoyable action game with a hilarious premise that successfully walks that fine line between being approachable for VR newcomers while offering a thrilling campaign for more established players.
