Critic Reviews for Marvel's Deadpool VR
Marvel's Deadpool VR's kinetic combat and genuinely funny dialogue adds to a growing roster of great licensed superhero games that help prove VR games can be more than shallow tie-ins.
Those with a Meta Quest 3 gathering dust in dire need of a new exclusive will have a bloody good time here, even if its occasionally formulaic nature risks holding it back from greatness.
Marvel’s Deadpool VR doesn’t hit the immersive highs as Batman: Arkham Shadows did last year, but it’s still a fun superhero romp from Oculus Studios. The developers at Twisted Pixel make great use of the Deadpool IP, and there’s no shortage of havoc to wreak if you’re just looking for an action-heavy VR experience.
The frame rate is steady mostly, but you may notice some frame hitching and detail dropping during intense combat sequences. In the end, though, it’s the pacing and combat that knock down the replayability of the game.
A fun, surprisingly lengthy and deep romp with everyone's favorite violent motormouth, Deadpool VR sends players careening around the Marvel Universe on a goofball mission that allows for equal parts bloody combat and surprisingly awesome watercooler moments. The combat is only as fun as you make it, but the non-stop barrage of jokes are top tier. The tone is right, largely due to a killer, irreverent performance from Neil Patrick Harris, so everything else falls into place.
Deadpool VR is an arcadey hack and slash adventure with the promise of a Deadpool that never stops talking. While some of the cutscenes are longwinded and the melee gameplay isn't great, the shooting and movement options allow you to set up fun combos. There's a lot of replayability, but long levels might discourage you from too much backtracking.
Marvel's Deadpool VR is another great get for the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S. In keeping true to its source material, it's an absurd and exciting romp through the Marvel universe in the shoes of one of its most popular characters.
Marvel's Deadpool VR sees the titular anti-hero roped into an interdimensional gameshow hosted by Mojo, a character just as unhinged as Deadpool himself.
