Marvel's Iron Man VR

With a fresh story, AAA quality and length to match, excellent tech, and fantastic gameplay, Marvel’s Iron Man VR is the reason to own the PSVR. If you own Sony’s HMD, this game is a must-have for your library.

Iron Man VR succeeds wildly in its mission to put players into Tony Stark's iconic suit of armor. Flying and doing battle is amazing, and even more amazing is the way that players are immersed in Tony Stark’s narcissistic psyche. With story-telling without peer in the VR space, and amazing battle sequences, Iron Man VR verges on being the perfect VR game. Only the ridiculous load times are preventing this from being the greatest of all time.

Iron Man VR is one of the most technologically impressive PSVR games ever made, and raises the bar for what virtual reality games should strive for.

Overall, Marvel's Iron Man VR is a successful "superhero simulator" that skillfully exploits virtual reality to deliver a cinematic experience worthy of the big screen.

Iron Man VR isn't perfect, but it's the most complete and compelling VR superhero game to date. Studio Camouflaj has crafted a experience which feels whole by successfully weaving unique VR gameplay with an iconic character and a worthwhile story. Most of the game's ideas are well executed—especially its break-neck yet comfortable flying mechanics—including a few unique moments which you might not have expected from this game.

Marvel's Iron Man VR provides some of the most enjoyable action-packed missions ever available in a virtual reality game. You may have to lollygag around for a while before being able to actually play these missions but they're definitely worth the wait.

One of the most interesting experience for PlayStation VR. With this game YOU are Iron Man.

Iron Man VR offers the ideal experience to feel like Tony Stark for a few hours, with a very competent adaptation to virtual reality that makes us feel like superheroes with intuitive and simple controls.

Recognising that genius billionaire playboy philanthropist Tony is just as important as his metal-coated alter ego, Iron Man VR is a guaranteed virtual reality thrill for fans of the shiniest Avenger. [Issue#178, p.74]

Graphically, Iron Man VR is quite crisp and colourful on the PS4Pro and when matched with the excellent sound effects and super heroic music, it all comes together quite well with the gameplay that once again gives you the illusion that you are Iron Man. Add in hidden Easter eggs to be found and most gamers will easily finish this game in 8 to 10 hours and due to the fun factor of the title, it definitely opens itself to another play. All in all, a fun and must play VR experience on the PlayStation!

A successful tech demo that allows one to truly feel like Iron Man, the game is also a strong superhero narrative in its own right.

It’s difficult to judge Marvel’s Iron Man VR poorly when a team of developers is pushing the hardware to its very limits. Camouflaj’s attempt to put players into the Iron Man suit is a valiant one that offers one of PlayStation VR’s most exciting and most memorable experiences to date, even if the VR itself struggles to keep up.

Marvel’s Iron Man VR does feel like its stretching the boundaries of what PlayStation VR and the Move controllers can do. Yes, the load times are very annoying yet the experience as a whole is still super satisfying. There might have been a few delays along the way but Camouflaj has made sure it was worth the wait. While there are plenty of hours of content to enjoy what’s most important is that exhilarating feeling of being Iron Man. Marvel’s Iron Man VR does that, making for a rewarding superhero experience.

Iron Man and Tony Stark are conduits of chaos. Virtual reality is a medium that demands comfort and sophistication. Iron Man VR attempts control of both worlds, combining Iron Man’s breakneck speed and giddying repulsors with the crafted elegance of a maturing medium. The product is a confident and convincing presentation of Iron Man, albeit one that feels limited by its budget and hardware.

Despite several issues, Iron Man VR was worth the time. A severely repetitive mission structure, lackluster enemy variety, mediocre environments, and a dull story can’t stop this train from rolling. It’s the beauty in the uniqueness of its sales pitch. This is the closest to being Iron Man you’ll ever get. We’re in this exciting, quiet-before-the-storm era of VR gaming. Developers have the opportunity to lay extensive groundwork and show us the possibility of what we’ll see in the future. That’s what Iron Man VR has going for it.

For PSVR owners, it's a simple and safe choice to spend the $39.99 for this experience, but for those considering investing in picking up the PSVR towards the end of this console generation's shelf life, well, let's hope they really, really like Iron Man.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is exactly as we expected: immersive, frenetic and witty as the superhero to whom the game is dedicated. An intuitive, articulated and almost perfect control system is counterbalanced only by the technical limitations and the cumbersome cabling of PSVR.

A remarkable game about Iron Man and his universe. You will believe that you are a hero capable of flying... If you manage to get use to the controls and inertia.

Marvel’s Iron Man VR is two distinct games separated by long load times. There’s the thrilling and immersive Iron Man side of the game, letting players actually become the superhero in a way they never have before. And then there are the more sluggish Tony Stark moments, saddled with basic point-to-point VR teleportation movement as a channel to deliver story moments to the player. Don’t get me wrong. I loved being Iron Man. Camouflaj achieved that true superhero feeling when you’re flying high above the earth. Marvel’s Iron Man VR has a strong iron heart, it feels like they are squeezing all they can from the tech, but PSVR inherently anchors the experience with technical limitations that repeatedly interrupt the immersion with yet another loading bar.

Despite a few setbacks like horrendous load times, sometimes janky controls, and a few missed opportunities with its (surprisingly excellent) story, Iron Man VR is an absolute triumph. Camouflaj absolutely delivered a AAA-quality campaign-driven VR game featuring one of the world’s most iconic superheroes, all while showing him in a new light with an original story that isn’t weighed down by the baggage of the MCU and comics. Flying as Iron Man feels amazing, talking to characters as Tony Stark is full of wit and humor, and from top to bottom it’s an exhilarating and well-paced adventure that feels like it only grazes the surface of how high this developer can fly in VR.

Being Iron Man in VR is fascinating, fun and exhilarating. While the story does not match the same experience, it is an absolute blast to be Tony Stark.

Marvel's Iron Man VR delivers on the mission to make you feel like the armoured avenger. Some technical hiccups aside, this is a well rounded virtual reality title that takes advantage of the tech to immerse you in Tony Stark's world. It wins the day with fantastic controls and engaging combat, and the optional challenges will keep you busy once the story's wrapped up. If you don't mind waiting around in loading screens, this is a thoroughly enjoyable PSVR experience.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is a brilliant superhero adventure, and one that replicates its star's physicality in VR in a truly incredible way.

Marvel's Iron Man VR might not be without issues, but it’s hands down the most complete VR experience I have had to date.

Whether you are a Marvel fan or a PSVR fan, Iron Man VR is well worth your time and money. It's immersive, tactile, and full of charm. Few other VR games will make you feel as powerful or leave you feeling so satisfied with the time you have spent in a virtual space. The loading sections are a bit too frequent for my liking, but they never impede what is a fantastic virtual reality experience.

In Marvel’s Iron Man VR, Camouflaj delivers an immersive experience featuring the world’s most favorite billionaire playboy philanthropist.

Camouflaj has finally gotten us into a superhero like no one else has ever done before (not even Batman in his Batman Arkham VR).

Flying like Tony Stark is a lot of fun. Too bad the game doesn’t offer much more.

Quotation forthcoming.

Though it has technical issues and an unoriginal story, Iron Man VR is a great game that could have delivered more from its iconic hero.

Iron Man VR is one of the most attractive, fun and exciting games released for PSVR in quite a while. It’s far from perfect, but it’s an interesting action game and a great fan service.

While repetition sets in quickly and the rough edges can be distracting, Iron Man VR is so unique among superhero games that it feels absolutely essential for fans of this character. When the visor locks in and the weapons-HUD flashes on, it’s clear the best Iron Man games are going to be in VR. This first attempt is a solid blueprint; perhaps stronger tech and more time in the lab can generate better results.

Marvel's Iron Man VR makes you feel like Tony Stark. Great moments of action that contrast with various technical problems.

Being Iron Man looks, feels and plays great, even if long loading times and a steep learning curve kill the joy a bit. One of PS VR’s most engrossing titles, nevertheless.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is a pretty enjoyable virtual reality experience, but overall, it is a game with some flaws that keeps it from being a great experience.

Fans of Marvel's character will enjoy impersonating Tony Stark's metallic alter-ego, thank to well crafted controls and compelling flying action. The game, though, soon becomes repetitive, graphics in the city is not very compelling and the scenes with Tony add little to the experience.
