Batman: Arkham VR (2016 Video Game) User Reviews

Good game but very short

[Tjosh12367 · 7/10 · 25 September 2020]

The game is fun while it last, however it really is only about an hour and 15 minutes long. The cool thing about it is just to get the feeling of what it's like being batman for a day. Ultimately a good experience, especially for those who are fans of the Batman Arkham games. I've played the games before and it's just such a cool feeling to see the Gotham we know from the game in vr

Its a good start.

An amazing VR experience to wear the cowl. It good but virtual reality games still need a lot of work before being a great and complete experience. The ending was unexpected and the story had many surprises.

Who are you?

As the title implies, 'Batman: Arkham VR (2016)' is a VR spin-off from the main 'Arkham' series. It has you assume control of Batman as he works to solve a murder. The gameplay mostly consists of investigative work, with the series' staple 'detective vision' being manipulated to better suit the immersive, first-person perspective of the game's genre. From recreating brutal crime-scenes to X-ray scanning corpses, the gameplay does its best to convey the detective process in a way that suits its medium. For the most part, it works well; there's a proper sense of scale to things and having to move around the environment, mainly with user-friendly teleport (as grapple) points, makes things rather engaging. Some of the set-pieces fall ever-so-slightly short, though, and there - understandably, I'll add - isn't any of the stealth or combat that the series typically prides itself on. Still, some of the sequences are really impressive and, more importantly, immersive; a relatively intense real-time puzzle involving Killer Croc is one of the highlights. The game allows you to spend as much time as you want in the Bat-cave, perusing unlocked character models and biographies or testing your skills with a Batarang. It's a fun experience but, aside from a possible second playthrough which involves Riddler trophies, there's not much reason to replay. It isn't very long, either, and it's not as entertaining as anything the main series has to offer. It is a different type of experience, though, and it's successful in what it tries to achieve. It's a good game but, even within the confines of VR, it doesn't really stand out above the crowd. 6/10

Worst game in Arkhamverse history.

Hardly anything to do. No big fights. Unlike other Arkham games, no plot or anything that drives the story. All you do is scan items and try to figure out who killed Nightwing. Worst of all gameplay is thirty minutes only. Not worth buying.

Not with it

Good gameplay, good story, bad ending, way too short. I beat it in 1 hour. ONE HOUR.(not including the riddler stuff) And I played with one controller. I was expecting about 3 or 4 hours but no ONLY 1 hour. It felt like a demo. Wast of money. Should be 10 dollars instead of 20. No violence. I was expecting more fighting but no. And I was expecting more lore. Also I thought it would be an open world game but no. Good for 12+. Should be rated T. Only one disturbing scene aka the ending, pretty dark. Not good. It took 1 hour to download a piece of crap. Buy super hot vr instead. It is a shooting game. Good for 8+. No blood only red guys.
