    Overall, I’d call this game “missable” the excessive loading screens are frequently disrupting gameplay and the game relies on dialog over black screen so often, it took me a little while to realize that the game was designed that way and that I wasn’t just having technical issues. The end result means that close to half of your time with the headset on is not only spent with nothing toOverall, I’d call this game “missable” the excessive loading screens are frequently disrupting gameplay and the game relies on dialog over black screen so often, it took me a little while to realize that the game was designed that way and that I wasn’t just having technical issues. The end result means that close to half of your time with the headset on is not only spent with nothing to do, but also nothing to see. While one or two levels are pretty, their minuscule scale and an obnoxiously intrusive HUD prevent you from truly experiencing them. After starting you out on a beach at sunset, the game then plunges you into a nighttime map of a city-scape that seems to me to be one of the most cheaply rendered maps I have ever seen in VR. (Even Honor and Duty D-Day has some props for crying out loud. Would it have killed them to put in a car or a tree?)
    Combat can feel a little sloppy at times. Primary and secondary weapons are switched between based on how far you bend your wrist. This can make combat a little chaotic at times. I’m sure, eventually, you could get used to this, but the constant cuts in the action allow for very little acclimation with the combat mechanics. My biggest suggestion for this game would be “More Customization!!” Sure, changing the color of my suit is fun, but that HUD... I’d love to seek them release an update that allows you to turn off, shrink, rearrange, customize (anything), the HUD. I’m finding very very little of the information it presents at all relevant, let alone necessitating immediate access. On top of that, each piece of information is so large and so close to the center of my vision, that I don’t feel like I’m in VR sometimes. On top of that, I’d love to see the ability to remap buttons and calibrate hand position. First of all, I find myself wanting to use the move buttons for my jets and the triggers for my guns. Right now, it is mapped opposite and can not be customized. That can be annoying at times. I also found that the “palms out” blaster positioning of my hand didn’t quite match Tony’s. To get the “palm forward” blaster position, I found myself holding the move controller more like a pistol which did not make it feel like I was shooting blasts out of my palms like Iron Man. Overall, I do not find myself compelled to get back into Iron Man for more when compared to other games. I would say, at the very least, this game should have waited for PS5 to be able to cope with the loading screens. Good:
    - different suits
    - customizable weapon loadout
    Bad:
    - long load times
    - lots of black screen dialog
    - frequent breaks in action
    - underwhelming maps
    - cumbersome HUD
    - hand tracking for flight and combat feels out of sync with character    … Expand

    Graphics of PS3 shame, this game have wasted potential I really wait so long for this game Seriously? Regular story, and Monotonous droids and robots fights, is not the best PSVR game that's for sure...the price is not reasonable sorry but I spect a better product not this. To be fair a 3/10 and I don't feel comfortable giving that score it deserves less to be honest.

    Horrible graphics, extremely long and frequent load times, repetitive gameplay, C tier voice acting, and an uninspired story make for an extremely hard to justify package.
    I feel much hype is blind excitement and sunk cost fallacy. Reinforcing ones poor purchase.

    The game is nothing special, you won’t miss anything by skipping it.

    There's an issue here, what passes in VR would NEVER get a pass in 2D. So compared, only VR to VR, and really only within its pool of PSVR only.

    So, the most obvious horrific problem with Iron Man VR is load times and black screens. Load times in the minutes in duration, each, on PS4Pro. Every location transition, every room, huge load times, often followed by, load times. The levels are barely longer than the load times.

    The graphics are, ok. This is NOT the game that sells PSVR or brings people back to it. This late in PSVR life and this is it? After finishing this, I feel maybe PSVR is in more trouble than I thought. The story is quite fun, but very, very predictable.

    Major pop-in and frame rate drops. Even screen tearing!
    This is NO Half Life Alyx challenger. I wonder how many PC VR headsets were sold to PSVR fans wanting better??

    Update: 28/8/20

    They updated the Load times.. it appears now, you get faster load indicators, longer black screens with nothing. I also put the game onto a USB3 connect NVME drive.    … Expand

    Nice graphics, and from what I managed to see the game itself seems decent; however, I found that control scheme rendered the game virtually unplayable.

    Needs a proper DS4 controller mode.

    Do not understand how anyone can put this game more than 6. In reality it sucks. Slow loadings. Pretty bad graphics. Not even close to Astrobot in quality and emotions. I was very disappointed that such garbage game was done on ps4.

    The controls are **** the graphics are decent, and the main villain ghost has a op attack that makes beating her all most impossible while playing on harder difficulties and the story is predictable.

    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.

    There is just no way around it: Iron Man VR is a disappointment. While it feels great to fly around like Iron Man, the gameplay gets stale very quickly. On top of that, the load times are unbearable, which is a shame because the story is quite enjoyable.

    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]
