Iron Man VR (PSVR) (PS4)

Mit etwas imposanteren Schauplätzen und weniger frustrierenden Interaktionen hätte der Titel zwar ein wesentlich besseres Spielerlebnis abliefern können, aber sonst warten hier einige nette Luftgefechte und bekannte Gesichter aus dem Marvel Universum auf alle die sich in ein neues VR-Abenteuer stürzen wollen.

It’s clear that the act of flying is Iron Man VR's driving force. Every story mission ends with a score and ranking, pushing you to replay and improve, and each map has multiple types of optional time trials for anyone who just wants to spend more time in the armor. Unfortunately, there aren't that many ways to take advantage of those unique controls.

Iron Man VR delivers thrilling combat and fun flight mechanics, but navigating big, open areas is frustrating.

Marvel’s Iron Man VR is not the next Marvel’s Spider-Man, and it’s not a system-selling killer app for the PSVR. But despite falling short of those admittedly high bars, it’s still a fun time. While Tony Stark’s story may not have grabbed my interest at all, flying around as his alter ego was a thrill, and its intuitive aerial combat stayed engaging even as mission and enemy variety thinned.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is a brilliant superhero adventure, and one that replicates its star's physicality in VR in a truly incredible way.

For every few moments in Iron Man VR that gave me an absolute rush, there were several that felt comfortably sterile. That's not the best ratio, but I'd definitely play more and I hope that Camouflaj gets their hands on Iron Man again: if only to see how they can top themselves and mend their mistakes.
