Arizona Sunshine 2 hands-on trial: Kill zombies with your pet companions

We recently experienced Vertigo Games' Arizona Sunshine 2 on PC VR, and this is our first look at how the sequel improves on its predecessor.

Zombies are a fairly common enemy in VR, and Arizona Sunshine is a game released by Vertigo Games in early 2016, so credit where credit is due. While the genre has been developed in recent endeavors like Chapters 1 and 2 of The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners, Arizona Sunshine 2 looks to take you back to the desert and give you access to a host of new tools.

Here is the official description:

Return to sunny, zombie-infested Arizona. Narrated by our darkly humorous protagonist, Arizona Sunshine 2 takes you on a brand new journey of four scattered limbs in search of answers. Experience the thrill of realistic combat in an apocalyptic world where every shot counts, wielding new and much-loved weapons - from shotguns to machetes and flamethrowers.

Better than meeting the end of the fucking world is surviving it with your new friend - Buddy. Buddy is not only your most reliable companion, but will help you defeat those pesky zombies in times of both toughness and adversity.

The best companion in the apocalypse? Buddy.

The biggest addition to Arizona Sunshine 2 is Buddy - a canine that can be commanded to attack zombies or retrieve items for you. I asked if the dog would die, and the developers didn't answer directly, explaining via email that "Buddy is a big part of Arizona Sunshine 2."

Vertigo provided me with a stand-up demo at their conference in New York, and I played a portion of the game on Quest 2 via a PC link. In just a few minutes, I got a good handle on the range of tools available to me in the form of handheld firearms, limited-use melee weapons, and the ability to quickly command combat-experienced Buddies to take out the fastest or closest zombies.

Managing wave after wave of zombie attacks with these tools is not an easy task.
