This game presents a short story, set between the events of "Arkham City" and "Arkham Knight". The basic plot involves you, playing as Batman, engaging in a detective mission. If you're familiar with the Arkham series of games, you'll immediately recognise the characters and scenery of this particular game. In terms of the campaign, it's quite short - 60 to 90 minutes in length. Fortunately, there are some supplementary elements to the game - especially the task of collecting Riddler trophies.



This was my first PS4 VR game - and I found it to be most impressive. It's very immersive … like you're inside the game. Once the VR headset is on, and the game playing, the first experience you have is of standing on the edge of a tall building, at night, in Gotham City - and as you look around (especially as you look over the edge of the building) there's a genuine sense of "being there".



You use the Move Controllers as hands, and you're able to interact with the in-game environment. Objects can be touched and picked-up. It's this aspect of the 'virtual' experience that's fantastic - as it feels like you're really looking at 3D objects. As Batman, you can throw batarangs, use a grapple gun, and scan things. As this is more of a "detective" storyline than anything else, don't expect combat.



Had there been in-game action sequences (fighting), as well as the availability to drive/pilot the car and plane, this would be a perfect game … but, sadly, these aspects are missing. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this game to anyone with (a) enjoys the Arkham series, and / or (b) wants to enter into the VR experience.
