Critic Reviews for Batman: Arkham Shadow
Batman: Arkham Shadow makes most of the Arkham series' defining gameplay work respectably well in VR, and its mystery story pays off.
Batman Arkham Shadow can feel rough around the edges at times, but it's still a more than worthy entry to the Arkham series, and an essential Quest 3 experience.
Batman: Arkham Shadow successfully translates the Arkham experience to the VR space with hard-hitting combat and an engrossing atmosphere.
The only concession you have to make is that it looks like a VR game, but honestly, that’s just fine for a series that hasn’t had a new entry in a decade. Arkham Asylum is the one I regularly come back to for a replay, but I suspect Arkham Shadows will be taking its place from now on.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is a great Batman: Arkham game without any qualifiers needed for its virtual reality platform. Narratively it fits in well with the rest of the series, and mechanically Camouflaj somehow simply figured it out.
Camouflaj is no stranger to superhero VR games, and the team uses its expertise to do justice to the beloved Batman Arkham series in a way that's never been done before.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is the most authentic and immersive way to make yourself feel like the Caped Crusader that I've ever played.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is a stunning virtual reality game, and a damn-good workout. Yes, you feel like Batman, but the game is more than just a simulator for Dark Knight roleplayers. It’s proof that any game concept can be adapted to a VR platform with enough care and skill, and it’s proof that VR has the sauce many claim it doesn’t. If you have a Quest 3, you need to play Batman. If you like Batman, you need a Quest 3.
