Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission is the remake of the first Rail Shooter that shaped the genre. It sticks to the DNA of the original game – a breathtaking action atmosphere inherited from 80’s action movies – while offering a brand-new design and a leaderboard.

GamingTrendRon BurkeJul 202380/100Part homage, part sequel/reboot, Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission is a return to what we loved about the arcade games, but now in VR for a new layer of immersion. While it's relatively short, it's a lot of fun and serves perfectly to introduce new players to the medium.

MaciejewskiJul 20237.8/10As a long-time fan of Taito's Operation series of light gun games, I'm super-excited that Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission VR finally puts the familiar gameplay in the virtual realm and for the most part, it's great stuff that'll make you feel like one of The Expendables.

ExpansiveTom HynesSep 20232/5 starsOperation Wolf Returns: First Mission doesn’t set the groundwork or foundations for the genre like its predecessor did all those years ago. In fact, it doesn’t seem to have learned anything from the original, despite the modern day revamp in VR and inclusion of haptics. Its problem often is that it was a game designed for VR and the porting to flat just hasn’t gone well between controls and technical issues. It’s passably fun with a buddy in co-op, but once you’ve played through the first mission, you’ve got a pretty good idea of everything the game has to offer. Which is, in all honesty, not that much at all.
