To explore these environments, you’ll brandish three tools off of the Bat’s utility belt: a grappling hook, a forensic scanner, and Batarangs for days. Stepping into Batman’s cape and cowl, players have access to several highly detailed environments like the Batcave, Wayne Manor, the Iceberg Lounge, and other elements of Gotham’s seedy underbelly. The game is an impressive first effort for a veteran game studio that is just beginning to delve into virtual reality. Arkham VR is more of a slow burn then the ‘BIFF, BAM, POW’ series fans are used to. At face value Batman: Arkham VR offers the Arkham universe’s defined aesthetic and cast of quality voice actors from a very different perspective.Īrkham VR differs from series predecessors-which had a healthy mix of fast paced combat balanced by a strong story and interesting puzzles-by focusing heavily on Batman’s detective work.

Developed by Rocksteady Studios, the game immerses you the moment you lock on your headset, or rather don the cowl.

If Playstation VR is Sony’s maiden voyage into virtual reality gaming, Batman: Arkham VR is a strong wind to cast off with.
