    A real gem in the VR space, What the Bat is distilled fun with just a pair of baseball bats and goofy characters. This game is an example of how great game design wins over fancy graphics or physics and is able to create genuine fun.

    Don’t let What the Bat’s absurd premise stop your baseball bat for hands move through hours of hilarious puzzles - and recapturing simple childhood fun - that hits a home run over the new PSVR 2 console.

    What The Bat? doesn't really do a whole lot to make it an essential experience among the PlayStation VR2 launch window of titles, but if PSVR2 is your first VR headset ever, then you'd only be doing yourself a favour to jump into Triband's hilarious and fun bats-for-hands world.

    What The Bat is a fun-filled, imaginative VR puzzle game that, as you can imagine, involves a lot of hitting things with a bat! While it’s not always perfect, it’s an imaginative and fun game and worth trying.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time with WHAT THE BAT? and will likely play through it again in the future seeing as it's such a funny and unique experience while also being surprisingly heartfelt.

    The mini-game puzzles from What the Bat? are not really pretty or sophisticated, but wonderfully crazy in the short term.

You don't move around very much and therefore are unlikely to experience motion sickness. The graphics are simplistic as well but functional. It's not very long and has not much replayability. I would advise to wait for a sale. I can't recommend it for children because it contains political indoctrination. I would've given the game a 7 but because of this just a 4.… Full Review »
