Batman: Arkham Shadow reviewed by Dan Stapleton on Meta Quest 3.
Batman: Arkham Shadow does an admirable job of adapting almost everything I love about the Arkham series to work in a full-fledged VR game, and it’s impressive looking for a game that’s exclusive to the standalone Meta Quest 3 headset. There are a few hitches and aggravating bugs that mean some parts don’t work quite as well as others, but its vigorous brawling, exploration, tricky puzzle solving, and stealth are all in full effect as you sneak and punch your way through Blackgate prison in a twisting undercover pursuit of a mysterious cult leader where just about everybody’s a suspect. It’s certainly smaller in scale than any full game since Arkham Asylum, but it’s far larger and more built-out than you might expect after Batman: Arkham VR, and a return to an enclosed prison setting makes it feel dense and intricate.

“Head scratching puzzles” ???? You’d have to be an idiot to think throwing a baterang at a switch is a real thinker
Playstation 2 graphics ok
These graphics look horrible
Wow!
If only it wasn't VR!😅
Now make a game that isin't!😎
This game is my introduction game to vr on the quest 3 and it's freakin cool!
Obviously this reviewer doesn’t read the comic at all.
I just finished this game. I got my quest 3 about 2 weeks ago and been playing a little every day also making sure i find all the items and radios in the game and man im blown away… i never played batman games especially since i own a xbox im also more of a marvel guy but this game felt amazing it felt like a console game and didnt feel like an arcade style of game. This game coming with the quest is a great deal. 👍
One of your ads spoiled the game for me
Too much bat not enough man 8/10
This isn’t a review this is a synopsis of the game.
Just finished this game… I LOVED IT!!! 5 out of 5!!! To think we said “Oh no 😰” when we heard it was a VR game, we were ALL WRONG!!! lol 😂
What's up with that one chics voice? lol
I can not fathom how this game could be rated anything less than 9/10. My only complaint so far is, that i could be a little less linear. Other than that it’s an absolute masterpiece!
The first time i used the cape to glide across a gap, freaking insane. How doesn’t that make you feel like batman himself?
Even the cutscenes are of outstanding quality. The last time i had my mind blown this much by a game was ages ago.
Buying a Quest 3 for Batman Arkham Shadows alone is worth it in my opinion. This is the future of VR. Totally immersive, smooth gameplay and crazy addictive!
First game on par with Half Life Alyx. Even though the approach on overall interactivity is more arcade like in Batman.
I didn’t realize Barbra was mocking Batman and that was her actual voice lol.
what douchebag spoiling arkham origins
Complaining about the glitches here but not in FNAF SB is wild
Just finished the game. It was awesome.
Ya say the whole story again and again. Leave nothing for the players. Hope you are fired.
Just to say: I just played it. I had no crashes or big bugs.
Quest is a kick ass VR device with some kick ass games. More "next gen" than ps5 will ever be but because gamers are sheep and loyal to old brands like sony it wont get the recognition it deserves. These gamers surely will be buying the next PS6, PS7 and PS8 , even when the only thing it offers is marginally better graphics. But spending 300 to 500 on a true next gen VR device is too much. Modern gaming is in a sad state.
Wtf why can't we have a batman game
VR has a hard enough time gaining traction and they go and make headset exclusives gtfo with this.
There is a huge missing segment in that some desing elements literally break the experience. Take the Falcone fight.. the game goes into slow mo whenever you finish off a thug, the slow mo makes it so you can't dodge.
Wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for all the grenades.. spent an hour on that fight because of this oversight
Why does bruce wayne have a tattoo??
Too bad I dont feel like paying 400 something to play 1 game..
Got this game for free with my Quest 3S and it is one of my favorite games in VR now. Was not expecting this to be as good as it and I was pleasantly surprised.
If this game has made you VR-curious, but you're worried that there won't be anything else to play once you're through breaking people's jaws while dressed as a nocturnal flying rodent, you'll be pleased to know that the Quest is 100% compatible with SteamVR! If you have a gaming PC (mid-range is fine!) you can play EVERYTHING that the $1000 Valve Index can, including Half-Life: Alyx! And you can do it wirelessly, the Valve Index can't do that!
It's pretty sweet, but $50 is a steep ask when you can get games like demeo, walkabout or AW2 that have 100s of hours of gamepaly.. hell re4 vr is half the price and is 20 hours.
Definitely has some butcher bay influences.
Hopefully they put it out for PSVR2 or PC as well.
