Batman: Arkham Shadow hands-on: A fantastic Batman LARP without open-world fluff

A still from Batman: Arkham Shadow showing the game's environment, including the Bat Signal in the sky.

Batman: Arkham Shadow has you step into the shoes of an imperfect, angry Bruce Wayne. You can perform the same beat-em-up combos and hunt foes in Predator mode like you do in Arkham Asylum, but you're liable to make mistakes from a first-person perspective. It almost makes this Batman: VR LARP feel more authentic, that you're not the same confident, unwavering hero.

Before the Arkham Shadow Gamescom reveal, I was lucky enough to attend a private Batman: Arkham Shadow hands-on with developer Camouflaj's Game Director Ryan Payton and Design Director Ryan Darcey, where I played the first hour+ of the game.
