There's the bit where I lowered the Cowl over my face, then looked in a mirror and saw Batman staring back at me. The ones that leveraged my enduring love of the character and my familiarity with the world, but placed me at the heart of it. It's the emotionally charged moments in between that left a lasting impression. But those interactions aren't what Batman: Arkham VR is about, and that's not what stuck with me about it. It's all simple and, with hindsight, disposable. Similarly, the autopsy section uses the evidence scanner's deep tissue and skeletal x-ray functions to locate specific items buried within corpses. The device is used like a flashlight to locate and scan key pieces of information that push the investigation forward. To unravel what transpired, Batman uses an evidence scanner, which you physically pull out from your utility belt. The crime scene investigation plays out much like it did in Batman: Arkham Origins, with players scrubbing backwards and forwards through an augmented reality reenactment of the crime to piece together the events. The two most significant gameplay sections involve investigating a crime scene and conducting an autopsy. Using the PlayStation Move controllers, I poked at buttons to boot computers, flicked Batarangs at switches, and shot the Grapnel Gun to pull in items. The hour or so it takes to finish the game is made up of the kind of perfunctory motion-controlled gameplay seen in early Wii games.
This immersion in Gotham City is Batman: Arkham VR's biggest strength, but at the same time, it's impossible to ignore how shallow my interactions with the world were.
