I feel like I’ve denied the PSVR2 for a while now. In March, I wondered if the The PS5 virtual reality headset was the next PS Vita before declaring two months later my fears had been allayedbut after playing Batman: Arkham Shadow on Meta Quest 3 it seems like a false dawn. It is becoming increasingly clear to me that the VR war has been won, but not in Sony.

Batman: Arkham Shadow is exactly the type of 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 enter that world, fully immerse myself, and become the Dark Knight in my own living room. Plus, it makes me wave my arms wildly while punching virtual thugs, making me look like a complete idiot, and I’m pretty sure my partner greatly appreciated that aspect.
