Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City Reviews
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is a buggy, repetitive, and incredibly barebones adventure that mostly fails to capitalize on its extremely awesome premise.
Empire City shares the same fate that a lot of ambitious VR games do. They try to mimic the scope of big-budget AAA flat games, but cannot do so because of their much more limited budget. So the game ends up being spread thin with little depth over its six-hour game length. TMNT: Empire City VR is a fun, if thin, game. Just be aware that its chief charms come from playing with friends and moving around the city with the parkour system. If you are a Turtle fan, that may be enough for you.
Excellent multiplayer game centered around the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IP. Weapons handled well, there's a great hideout to hang out, and the game is designed to encourage fun. Overall this is a very good game best played with a group of friends who can explore and defeat the villains together.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is a game where the effort is clear, yet as a whole, the game doesn't come together in a way that turtles should when fighting crime in VR.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City delivers a fun and immersive VR adventure with fast-paced combat, solid voice acting, and strong turtle personalities. Despite repetitive side content and some minor technical issues, it stands out as a unique TMNT experience that works especially well in virtual reality.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is a game of brilliant highs but also some noticeable lows – traversal is fantastic, the comic-book vibes are immaculate, and the co-op is a joy, but it is dragged down by an empty world and combat that lacks any real challenge. If you love the franchise and have a few friends to play with, you will easily look past the flaws – especially since there’s nothing game-breaking – but I can’t help but to think that a bit more attention on balancing out combat would have made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City a very special VR experience.
While it has the look and aesthetic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City lacks fun with static maps and lackluster mission/level design.
