I don’t feel so good Mr. Stark…

Iron Man VR

Platform: Playstation VR

Release Date: July 3, 2020

The Review:

So I haven’t actually finished this one yet, but so far it has been quite enjoyable. Flying around as Iron Man is pretty sweet - you use the playstation move controllers as your “thrusters” to fly around and then shoot stuff. The game is really well made and the controls work perfectly - one of my favorite moments was a plane crash setpiece at the beginning of the game.

However, I don’t understand what the developers/game designers were thinking here. For every minute of cool flying missions where you feel like a badass shooting things, there is an equal amount of extremely boring minutes where you have to play as tony stark teleporting around his crappy house and talk to his weird AI characters. It kind of kills the vibe. Also, you need a ton of free space around you to play this game, I nearly smashed my hand on the wall a couple of times when trying to spin around and make a quick turn. There were also performance issues and really long load times on my PS4 slim, but I guess I can’t complain about that.

3.5/5.0
