    It is short. Damn short. But it also is still as immersive as it was half a year ago when it debuted on PlayStation VR. I still hope that Rocksteady goes down this path further and makes this a foundation for an episodic adventure.

    It's really short and you won't get much replay value, but being Batman even for one a night, and in a more passive role, is still pretty cool.

Although the title says "Arkham", this game does not have Arkham style combat you would expect.

    Expect a beautiful graphically appealing VR experience where you use Batman's high tech gadgets for detective work.

    The game ends when it starts to get really interesting though, and it's lame that you don't get to drive the Batmobile or Batwing when you travel from location to location. Instead, the screen just turns black and you hear the engine and the traveling sounds. Lazy design!

    When it came out for the Vive I had to get it. I am so glad I did! The graphics are some of the best in a VR game.

    Being the Batman is so cool! The gadgets, the gauntlets, the cave... All there.
    The mystery, finding *spoiler* and wondering what happened. Seeing the snapping of a neck in front of your eyes is unnerving. Some good action, puzzles, and after you bear the game you have Riddler Challenges!

    If you are new to VR, this is a must buy.

    It is like an interactive Movie with little Puzzles. 9 Levels - 3 Levels in each act. Playtime is very short with 1h for a first complete play-through - 2 hours if you take your time. Dont let yourself be fooled or down by the short playtime and static interaction (you move to predefined places with button press).

    The game is great in terms of gfx and storytelling. I am easly scared - so I got pulled in this dark arkham world pretty fast and good. Voice acting is all right.

    I enjoyed this little trip in the world of batman.

    Batman Arkham VR has 2 parts. It seems like most of the players only experience the first one - a short interactive movie - and were upsetBatman Arkham VR has 2 parts. It seems like most of the players only experience the first one - a short interactive movie - and were upset that it's less than 1 hour long and has very few gameplay elements. Even so it's one of the best VR movies with AAA visuals, professional voice acting and interesting story.

    But the 2nd part of Arkham VR is actually way longer and has more gameplay. It's collectible/trophy hunt with puzzle elements, that requires a second playthrough. And it rewards the player with kinda Batman museum: a lot of animated 3d character models and vehicles from different periods of the franchise.

    Well, let's start with good things - you can be a Batman. Bad pretty much everything else is medicore except the graphics. The storyline isWell, let's start with good things - you can be a Batman. Bad pretty much everything else is medicore except the graphics. The storyline is very short 1-1,5h max. The mechanics are very limited too. Generally speaking, for 2-3 euro its ok, for more don't waste your money and time. Expand
