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.
