With a fresh story, AAA quality gameplay, a solid amount of gameplay, and now complete freedom of movement in the controls, Marvel’s Iron Man VR is absolutely phenomenal. This is a major win for the Meta Quest 2, and a must-have for your library.
Ron Burke · Nov 04, 2022 Reviewed onRead full reviewMarvel’s Iron Man VR is a decent game, no matter where you play it, though I would argue that the Meta Quest 2 version is perhaps the best way to play thanks to its ease of use and cleaner visuals. The intuitive controls, fun aerial combat, and some quality presentation make for a heroic effort by developer Camouflaj, and a worthy addition to any Quest 2 library.
Chris Harding · Nov 03, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIron Man VR had a ton of potential, but it felt bogged down at times by the PlayStation VR’s limitations and the ten-year-old Move controllers. Playing it makes me wish PlayStation will give the game the sequel it deserves, but on the next iteration of PlayStation VR. Camoflaj introduces some great ideas that aimed high, but fell flat in an experience that left me wanting more.
David Gill · Jul 21, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIron Man VR is a solid virtual reality experience that uses a beloved Marvel Comics hero to the fullest effect. Amazing gameplay helps offset a lacklustre story, bland graphics, and infuriatingly long load times, and in the end, if you can overlook these issues, you will find an incredible superhero sim here that’ll make you feel like it’s really you in the iconic red-and-gold armor.
Jon Hueber · Jul 11, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIt’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.
Mike Epstein · Jul 08, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIron Man VR feels restricted by its game design to be little more than a fun wave shooter, when it could have been much more. It is still a very fun game to play in VR and it's one of their better titles, but it never even scratches the heights that it so clearly aimed for.
Andreas Salmen · Jul 07, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewThe controls are intuitive, though somewhat frustrating to get the hang of initially, and the unparalleled feeling of being Iron Man shines in every moment we don the iconic suit and take flight. It's a bit baffling that it chooses to rely so heavily on some storytelling tropes and virtual reality gimmicks that sometimes pulled me out of the immersion. It doesn't help that the game is also plagued with long loading screens. Other than that, Iron Man VR is an admirable effort and a terrifically immersive journey, though that feeling of "more could've been done" always lingered in the back of my mind.
Sam Aberdeen · Jul 06, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIt is hindered by the limited horsepower provided by the PS4 and the PSVR, but what the people at Camouflaj have managed to achieve with so many limitations is absolutely impressive. This is probably the last major VR game that Sony will release for the PS4, and what a fantastic way to say goodbye to the system.
Leo Faria · Jul 05, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIf not for the story, I wouldn’t finish Iron Man VR. It somehow gets too repetitive at times, but at least there are times when Camouflaj tries to shake things up. And if only they cut some of the story elements and maybe shortened some sequences, the game would have a better score from me.
Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja · Jul 02, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewAs Marvel games go, Iron Man VR doesn’t quite hit the high mark set by the superlative Spider-Man, but it’s an often engaging and exhilarating experience to step into shellhead’s signature armour. Long load times, overused padding and poor writing mar what would otherwise be the ultimate Iron Man adventure.

"In playing Iron Man VR on the Oculus Quest 2, I've come across several notable points. The game does an impressive job of making you feel like Iron Man, with intuitive controls and immersive VR mechanics that mimic the superhero's abilities. Flying through the sky and using the hand repulsors feel genuinely exhilarating, providing a unique VR experience that stands out from other titles. However, there are certain aspects that could be improved. One of the main issues I've encountered is the game's performance on the Oculus Quest 2. While the headset is capable, there are moments when the graphics and frame rate struggle to keep up with the action, slightly diminishing the immersive experience. The loading times are also longer than ideal, which can disrupt the flow of gameplay. Another point is the game's campaign and mission structure. While the story is engaging, the missions can become somewhat repetitive, lacking the variety that would keep the gameplay fresh and exciting over time. The physical demands of the gameplay, requiring significant arm movement, can be tiring over long sessions, which might not suit all players. Moreover, the lack of significant post-game content or a robust multiplayer mode limits the replay value of the game. For a VR title that relies heavily on its immersive experience, more variety in gameplay and additional content would enhance its longevity. In summary, Iron Man VR on the Oculus Quest 2 delivers a thrilling superhero experience with its immersive VR gameplay, but it's also hampered by technical limitations and a lack of diverse content, which are important factors to consider for anyone interested in this game."
Reviewed on PCI finished the game on ps5 with vr and I overall enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the story, voice acting and music. The game play is fun but can be a little clunky at times.
