I feel like I’ve been in denial about the PSVR 2 for a while now. Back in March, I pondered if the PS5 virtual reality headset was the next PS Vita before declaring two months later my fears had been assuaged, but after playing Batman: Arkham Shadow on Meta Quest 3 that looks like a false dawn. It’s become increasingly clear that the VR war has been won, but not by Sony.
Batman: Arkham Shadow is the exact gaming experience I want from a VR headset. It takes an existing property that I love, in this case, the Batman: Arkham series, and allows me to step into that world, fully immersing myself and becoming the Dark Knight in my own living room. Plus, it has me flailing my arms around wildly as I punch virtual thugs, which makes me look like a complete dork, and I’m pretty sure my partner has greatly enjoyed that aspect.
