Apr 30, 2026Any issues I had with TMNT: Empire City were overcome by just how fun and breezy the game is to play. If I bumped into anything I didn't care for, seconds later I was on to something else and did not care enough to dwell on it. The glitches I experienced were a nuisance, but easily overcome. Cortopia never forgets that this property is based on a comic book that across forty years has not taken itself too seriously while entertaining fans of all ages. Empire City lives up to that standard. Longtime TMNT fans and newcomers alike will find something to like in Empire City.

May 1, 2026Against expectations, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City turns out to be a genuinely great VR beat ’em up, not just fan service for longtime Turtle disciples. Cortopia Studios delivers fast, flexible combat, light RPG progression, and a strong comic-book presentation that punches well above its price point. It’s not without some padding and design quirks, but the core experience is energetic, accessible, and totally radical. Possibly tubular.

May 11, 2026Empire City shares the same fate that a lot of ambitious VR games do. They try to mimic the scope of big-budget AAA flat games, but cannot do so because of their much more limited budget. So the game ends up being spread thin with little depth over its six-hour game length. TMNT: Empire City VR is a fun, if thin, game. Just be aware that its chief charms come from playing with friends and moving around the city with the parkour system. If you are a Turtle fan, that may be enough for you.

May 1, 2026Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is a game where the effort is clear, yet as a whole, the game doesn't come together in a way that turtles should when fighting crime in VR.

Apr 30, 2026Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is a buggy, repetitive, and incredibly barebones adventure that mostly fails to capitalize on its extremely awesome premise. The decent parkour system, amusing dialogue, and co-op joy of hanging out with your friends as dorky turtles can be amusing for a bit, but you’ll have to contend with completely lifeless open-world areas, loads of repetitive and sloppy combat and stealth, and quest objectives or other important interactions breaking on you constantly. A cooperative TMNT VR game has all the potential in the world of being a truly great time, but Empire City only offers an occasional glimpse of what that could actually look like.
