Description: Sheriff exam is a fully playable western shooting simulator with one main adventure mode and mini-games. The main quest is perceived as a shooting exam where the player is put to the test by the sheriff. By beating the sheriff’s tests player gains XP which unlocks features such as new missions and new weapons. There is also a global scoreboard included so the players can compete for the world’s best sheriff.

Review: OK, so the hard truth here is that ‘Sheriff Exam’ would have been the same game if played on the Oculus Go or the Gear VR, its a Wild-West themed range shooter in which you get to shoot at bottles, ducks and a few other things all done in a shooting stall style challenge with the aim of the game to get as many points as you can. The game looks OK most of the time, the aiming seems to be on point and there are 6 different styles of shooting range. For just £3.99 you will probably get your money’s worth here if you enjoy score chasing, but this game is not going to win any awards for originality.
