Batman Arkham Shadow is one of the best VR games on the market, although it’s only available on Meta Quest 3 at this time. Not only is it a very good Batman Arkham that respects the universe in which it infiltrates, but as a bonus it is an extremely well-designed game. Its combat system, directly inspired by that of the other games in the franchise, is simply incredible although very tiring. We really fight at last, miming hooks, uppercuts and other special shots. From fighting, to using gadgets, to movements for exploration, everything is extremely well done. The rhythm is at the top, the game keeps us in breath more than a dozen hours without forcing and as a bonus it turns out to be rather beautiful. Batman Arkham Shadow is clearly a must for all Meta Quest 3 helmet owners, but be careful, being Batman is not easy, it’s very, very physical.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is the blueprint for how to do AAA VR. The game makes every effort to translate the franchise’s best features to virtual reality, with a level of detail that makes you feel like Batman himself. It’s all complemented by an original story that’s on the same level of quality as most games in the series.

I love this game. Completely brilliant. Manages to thread its design into the lore and shape of the existing Arkham games without feeling beholden to them, somehow ports the combat mechanic into the 3d physical space required to play, keeps the stealth and navigational elements also somehow translated into VR, and despite moving freely, flying, and grappling, I never get motion sick. I've also sunk at least 6-7 hours into it and am only maybe 1/3rd of the way through the story according to my save data. It even has the collectible mechanisms the Arkham games are known for, satisfying side-puzzles, etc.

Arkham Shadow feels faithful to the flatscreen Arkham games while innovating in its own way through VR-specific design. Combat remains familiar yet incredibly satisfying, Detective Mode feels like a natural fit for first-person gameplay and the strong narrative held my interest throughout. With the flatscreen games, you never stepped into the caped crusader's shoes but with the VR game, I didn't want to leave them.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is a great VR experience for Batman fans, featuring engaging gameplay and a well-crafted story. Despite bugs and frame-rate drops, it remains a must-have title on Meta Quest 3.
The highs are high enough. Its story is a fun Batman romp that would work as a solid comic book arc, even if it can't touch Rocksteady's mainline saga. Moreover, it's by capturing the full spectrum of Arkham's still-exciting gameplay mechanics so effectively that Shadow becomes a must-play game for Batman fans, and a revealing measuring stick of how much virtual reality has advanced in just a few years. This isn't the first Batman Arkham game made for VR, but it's undoubtedly the first to feel like it belongs with the rest of the series.
Everything you'd expect from a full-fat Arkham game has been smartly translated into VR. It's a winning package and Meta finally has a must-play Quest exclusive. Here's hoping this is the first of many.
While it may not have the immersive mechanics to be a great VR introduction, Batman: Arkham Shadow is fun to play and faithful to its Arkham predecessors. And yeah, picking off enemies one-by-one feels great.

one of the best games in the history of virtual reality. one of the most immersive experiences I have ever had and the best game of 2024 for any console. GOTY. It's a pity that the traditional classic media has no knowledge of virtual reality nor any intention of acquiring it. The criticisms of the users are visible.
uno de los mejores juegos de la historia de la realidad virtual. una de las experiencia mas inmersivas qie he vivido nunca y el mejor juego de 2024 para cualquier consola. GOTY.
Lastima que los medios clasicos de toda la vida no tengais conocimiento algono de realidad virtual ni intencion de adquirirlos. a la vista estan las criticas de los usuarios.

Best bat project since rocksteadys heyday with the added benefit of actually 'being' there. Should be inducted into the VR hall of fame with Alyx.

WOW! This game blew me away. The graphics, story, voice acting, and, for me, especially the combat are incredible. In my opinion, with this game, we are entering a new era of VR, with it running entirely on standalone.

After the miserable excuse of a sequel "Suicide Squad kill the Justic League" was, it's great to return to the Arkham series. The freeflow combat and aesthetic is amazingly well done, if I had one criticism however it's that the game would be so much better if there was a full PC release. There's stutters, it's clearly not rendered anywhere near the headsets native resolution, but regardless of that it's still a good time.
