    Ironman VR is the swan song to PSVR... and you can tell. Dont get me wrong, while many aspects of the game are fun, it becomes repetitive very quickly. It also pushes the PS4 Pro to its limits with mediocre graphics and extremely long load times which constantly take you out of the moment. On a positive, Camouflaj are to be commended for the tight controls and slick gameplay... but after 1Ironman VR is the swan song to PSVR... and you can tell.

On a positive, Camouflaj are to be commended for the tight controls and slick gameplay... but after 1 hour with the game, it quickly unmasked itself to be a one trick pony. The most fun I had with this game was actually with the time trials as I found the story to be generic and the voice acting getting annoying at times. The time trials were great fun with Camouflaj cheekily posting their insane times at the end of each course, pushing you to get better. Overall this is a fun game with a few shortcomings that you should at least check out if you already own PSVR.… Expand

    A game made too early for it’s own good.

    Marvel and Sony’s relationship has always been kept under wraps to the public but one things for sure, their relationship makes good games, and this continues with Iron Man VR however you can’t help but feel like the PSVR limits what this game could’ve been drastically.

    Marvel and Sony’s relationship has always been kept under wraps to the public but one things for sure, their relationship makes good games, and this continues with Iron Man VR however you can’t help but feel like the PSVR limits what this game could’ve been drastically.

    The story is fairly predictable given the amount of MCU movies that follow the same kind of structure. It is still enjoyable but don’t be expecting a story that is going to make you think long and hard after finishing it. The best part of the story is the personality of Tony, which isn’t a difficult thing given how much source material Camoflauj had to pull from, but they nailed his ability to make fights ten times funnier with his quips during fight scenes.

    Having his quips brings a reason to continue with the fight scenes, as there is not much to the fights after you are taught the initial controls of the game there isn’t much more to it, there is slight iterations of weapons as you progress and are able to customise your own Iron Man. However they don’t offer enough variety to make fights consistently different and entertaining, they become mundane and repetitive.

    In contrast to the repetitive fights in the game, the environments are incredible they are bold, detailed and given that you are Iron Man you can explore a lot of them to the fullest whilst flying around. Just like with Spider-Man PS4 and Insomniac focusing on perfecting swinging, the Developers at Camoflauj have openly stated that they focused on making you feel like Iron Man and flying was the fundamental to make this happen. This shows as the flying in Iron Man is incredible it’s responsive and consistently fun to do, aided by the rumble support of the PS Move controllers.

    But, and here is the big overarching but with this entire game, the world is very grainy and not very polished and that is not the fault of the Developers at all, it’s the hardware, the PSVR in it’s current state cannot run this game well at all, this game could’ve been on of the most incredible VR games if it had been delayed to PS5 or maybe even beyond, to a point where the hardware could live up to what the Developers clearly wanted to created with this game. This coupled with ridiculously long loading times means that it’s a very easy game to put down, I would have to sit down during loading screens they were so long and often would only play a level or even less in one play session as I would get frustrated that right after an action set piece that was awesome I’d have to wait 5 minutes to see what was next.

    Overall this is brilliant game which uses the features of the PSVR to make you feel like Iron Man and that’s an awesome feeling but I didn’t really care about the story as I guessed most of it right out of the blocks. However, despite using the PSVR’s features extremely well its the hardware that let’s this game down, it was simply too ambitious for the current hardware

    I finished the game on ps5 with vr and I overall enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the story, voice acting and music. The game play is fun but can be a little clunky at times.

    Sadly this game was overhyped. There is nothing the game has which is on a top-notch level. Gameplay is medium, story is medium, immersion is medium and also graphics are medium. I definitely expect more from this game, weather it was hyped or not. The worst part is that the gameplay are not fluently playable for me and did not get the quality and impact of Rush VR which is so much better.Sadly this game was overhyped.

    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]
