Iron Man VR Reviews
It definitely has its moments, but the fun is spread so thinly that Iron Man VR soon wears out its welcome. Being Iron Man is fun for a few minutes, but it doesn’t last. The hero who kick-started the Marvel Cinematic Universe definitely deserves better.
Crushed beneath a monotony of drones to trash, muffled dialogue to decipher and environments to float amidst, there are brief pleasantries and welcome respites in Marvel's Iron Man VR. Distractions that unfortunately amount to the only genuinely welcome highs in a VR effort that, commendable an effort it is to move out of the regular shooting gallery format, are wound up in one too many technical follies and lackluster mission objectives for the implied liberties to feel substantial.
There is just no way around it: Iron Man VR is a disappointment. While it feels great to fly around like Iron Man, the gameplay gets stale very quickly. On top of that, the load times are unbearable, which is a shame because the story is quite enjoyable.

Iron Man VR is a mixed bag that lacks confidence in its identity. When it’s able to work up the energy to trust the player enough to take on a challenge, the gameplay becomes ineffably fun. Unfortunately, this is a rare occurrence that’s limited to either late or post-game challenges.
Flying around as Tony Stark is a lot of fun but gamers expecting something akin to the recent ‘AAA’ experiences on the platform will be left disappointed. Baby steps of course but Iron Man VR should be viewed as a foundational stepping stone for greater things to come rather than a solid, sculpted work of art.
Much like Tony Stark, Iron Man VR can be genius, exciting and a technical marvel. Unfortunately — much like Tony Stark — it also has plenty of issues. Struggling under the weight of its own ambition, Iron Man VR simply doesn't do enough with the tools at its disposal to justify its lengthy campaign.
It’s disappointing that, through shortcomings in design and the platform’s limitations, Iron Man VR isn’t a superhero outing worthy of the story told here, nor the Tony Stark that has carried Marvel’s films into this new age of popcorn cinema.
Iron Man VR is an enjoyable superhero adventure that doesn't quite reach summer blockbuster heights.
Iron Man VR gives you a great sense of freedom as you fly around the skies of various cities, but the levels and combat becomes repetitive rather quickly.
Iron Man has moves you've never seen before in VR. But in a bland game, they only take him so far.
Spread over a few hours this could have been a great superhero experience, but stretching it out to a longer run time dampens what few magic moments it has.
Graphically Marvel’s Iron Man VR often disappoints, and the mission designs sometimes seems to be taken straight from the infamous Superman 64’s leftovers. Still, however, aerial combat in this game is so much fun that I quickly disregarded all of that and started humming the riff of Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’ instead.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is a decent game, but one that will only likely appeal to a younger audience or die-hard fans of the property.
I cannot help but feel that, while Marvel's Iron Man VR is better than I feared it may be, it limits itself and prevents itself from being a standout title for the system. The fun combat and movement system are held back by repetitiveness, its story is frequently interrupted by massive load times, and progression is almost nonexistent. When not coated in iron, the world around us is pretty but offers little interaction or incentives to explore on your own. Iron Man VR feels restricted by its game design to be little more than a fun wave shooter, when it could have been much more. It is still a very fun game to play in VR and it's one of their better titles, but it never even scratches the heights that it so clearly aimed for.
Marvel’s Iron Man VR delivers on the main thing I love VR games for. Immersion. The game is incredibly immersive and let’s you feel what it would be like to live as a superhero zooming through the city. It truly let’s you feel what it would be like to be Iron Man, so in that regard the game is a resounding success. Plenty of video games these days have you playing as superheroes, but never until now have I felt like THE superhero. Even with a number of flaws and repetitive elements, it’s still a must play for anyone with a PSVR headset and an interest in superhero stories.
This is very good release in the field of VR gaming and its only enemies are the limits set by the technology and the capabilities of the platform.

A potentially great game, mostly limited by technology. Still, there’s plenty of fun to be had here.
Iron Man VR successfully grabs the Marvel video game baton from Spider-Man and Ultimate Alliance 3 and can hopefully pass it along to Marvel's Avengers later this year.
If not for the story, I wouldn’t finish Iron Man VR. It somehow gets too repetitive at times, but at least there are times when Camouflaj tries to shake things up. And if only they cut some of the story elements and maybe shortened some sequences, the game would have a better score from me.
Is Iron Man VR the best VR superhero game out there? No – that honour has to go to Megaton Rainfall. But it’s still up there, and thanks to the Quest 2’s superior tracking, this is a much better experience than it was on PSVR. And so, you’re a Meta Quest 2-owning Marvel fan, you won’t regret stepping into Tony Stark’s iron underpants.
