Batman: Arkham Shadow Review

adminDecember 16, 2024290 views

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

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

@stellarhyme3 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

This isn’t a review this is a synopsis of the game.

@Slinger184Paintball December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

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 😂

@davidglenn2739 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

What's up with that one chics voice? lol

@guntherkramer9242 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

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.

@pipgaming3410 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

what douchebag spoiling arkham origins

@vgae797 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

Complaining about the glitches here but not in FNAF SB is wild

@SPERRFEUER84 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

Just finished the game. It was awesome.

@tahsin28 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

Ya say the whole story again and again. Leave nothing for the players. Hope you are fired.

@theonlytrue8t88 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

Just to say: I just played it. I had no crashes or big bugs.

@andersontomas55 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

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.

@axe863 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

Wtf why can't we have a batman game

@JFinns December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

VR has a hard enough time gaining traction and they go and make headset exclusives gtfo with this.

@interlinkedMedia December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

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

@MrSagnikm December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

Why does bruce wayne have a tattoo??

@MaxMouse December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

Too bad I dont feel like paying 400 something to play 1 game..

@seerproductions9141 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

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.

@fireaza December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

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.

@josephgillespie7298 December 16, 2024 - 11:05 pm

Hopefully they put it out for PSVR2 or PC as well.
