VR game Batman : Arkham Shadow is a masterclass in superhero gaming in general.

It's an ambitious, full-length outing (expect 10 to 15 hours playtime) with a satisfyingly layered and twisting narrative.

It has time and space to flesh out its world, giving players a chance to spend as much time out of the Batsuit as in it, with Batman undercover in Blackgate Prison .

Batman: Arkham Shadow is a single-player, story-led adventure that looks, plays, and most importantly feels like the Arkham games players already love.

The game's largely guided environments are still incredibly immersive but hard to get lost or disoriented in.

It's a stark contrast to the failed live service game Suicide Squad : Kill the Justice League .
