Batman: Arkham Shadowis a masterclass in what a VR game should be.
The only letdown from this otherwise flawlessVR gameisArkham Shadowis chocked full of glitches.
It’s such a delightful experience Id count it among the top games of 2024, period.
Can you save Gotham?
Who is the Rat King?
Given the title’s placement betweenOriginsandAsylumdeveloper Camouflaj is somewhat restricted in what it can and cant do.
Jim Gordon, for example, cant be killed off because we know he survives into future entries.
Arkham Shadow’s combat is fantastic
You wouldnt notice these constraints while playing, however.
Should you play Batman: Arkham Shadow?
Don’t play it if
You hate glitchesArkham Shadowis fun but darn glitchy.
If you want a smooth experience wait for a few more patches then give it a try.
Accessibility
Like other VR games,Arkham Shadowrequires a fair amount of movement.
I also played on Hard difficulty which provided a decent challenge.
If youve playedArkhamgames or a few VR action titles before this is the level Id recommend.
