About On Point

On Point is a VR light-gun shooter that channels 90s arcade energy into modern virtual reality. Developed by Actuator Digital and released December 18, 2025, it’s available on SteamVR, Meta Quest 2, and Quest 3. The game throws you into over 30 chaotic single-player minigames, each demanding quick reflexes and precise aiming. Think pixelated enemies, neon-lit environments, and challenges that range from dodging waves of projectiles to timing-based shooting galleries. It’s a love letter to retro arcade cabinets, repackaged for headsets, with a focus on accessibility and fast-paced fun.

Gameplay

You’ll grip a VR controller like a gun and blast through scenarios that test speed, accuracy, and multitasking. Each minigame is a self-contained sprint: one might have you popping balloons while avoiding falling debris, another requires shooting targets in a specific order before time runs out. Movement is handled via teleportation or smooth locomotion, with optional comfort settings. The core loop is simple, aim, fire, repeat, but difficulty spikes often, especially in later levels. Controls are responsive, but some mini-games rely on memorizing patterns rather than raw skill. Sessions rarely last longer than 20 minutes, but the variety keeps things from feeling repetitive.

What Players Think

Community ratings are 85% positive on Steam, though critics gave it a 7.8/10, citing uneven difficulty and short replay value. Players average 3.5 hours of playtime, with 42% completing all minigames. Moods are split: 68% label it “fun,” 31% call it “nostalgic,” but 22% gripe about unfairly tough levels. One user wrote, “It’s pure chaos, but I couldn’t stop playing.” Another noted, “Some stages feel like Russian roulette with your aim.” The game has 100 achievements, with 62% unlocked on average, many tied to high scores or secret targets.

PlayPile's Take

On Point is a $29.99 dopamine hit best suited for players who miss the days of arcades and don’t mind punishing difficulty spikes. It’s not deep, but the variety of minigames and responsive VR controls make it addictive in short bursts. If you’ve ever enjoyed games like Time Crisis or House of the Dead, this will scratch that itch. However, its lack of a leaderboard or multiplayer mode limits long-term appeal. Worth trying if you’re a VR owner, but not a must-buy for casual gamers.
