Iron Man VR pushes the PSVR to the limit.
So I finally got my copy of Iron Man VR yesterday afternoon. And after several hours pacing around the house, I couldn’t wait to get into the suit. I had read a few reviews and tried to ignore the complaints. However, once I put on the headphones and took control of the motion controllers, everything was forgotten. As soon as I pulled the triggers and tilted my hands to the ground for takeoff, I was in my element. It was going to be epic.

There have been some pretty harsh reviews on the Internet and I mostly went over them and I thought that everything would be fine. And honestly, for me, it was better than good. And as soon as I started and pressed the controllers’ strikes to head for the sky, I was in my element. The way Camoflaj used the motion control system is amazing. You hold your hands behind you and press the triggers to activate the push. You also use your head to look in the direction you want to go and tilt your wrists accordingly. If you hold your arm at 90 degrees, you can machine gun left or right. And let’s not forget that the whole thing has a 360 degree view of course.
At first, I was worried that I was going to wrap myself in the cable, because often you have to turn around and look behind you. But once in my stream, I could easily step over the cable without really thinking about it, and the HUD does a very good job of pointing you in the direction you are facing.

I have not yet encountered a problem tripping on my own feet (although there is still time)! I’m only a few levels away, but I’ve already unlocked additional missiles on my wrists and a ground punch option. To use the missiles, push your palms down and use the automatic tracking system to lock onto a few targets at a time, then press the button on the central motion controller and go.
All this while hovering and strafing simultaneously. It gave me new respect for the real difficulty of Tony Stark’s work. To use the book on the ground option, you must load it for a few seconds using the X button, then target where you want to “beat”. The result is an overwhelming crash that destroys everything nearby.
For everyone who is a fan of Marvel, there are also a lot of fun moments as you walk around Tony’s house in Malibu. You can go to his garage and see his costume, also the place where you will make fun improvements. There is the gym and here you can shoot ball baskets (with your hands, not with your lasers).
There is a punching bag for certain boxing practices or you can use the pull-up bar for certain pull-ups. All of these things are told in the quirky voice of Tony Voice (the guy is fun, but I wish it was Downey Jr). The story itself (even if I just started) promises to be fun with a few characters to interact with. I think I’m going to play a lot this weekend.

There are critics who complain about loading times. Yes, there are, usually about 30 seconds, maybe more, but to be honest, I don’t really see the problems with that. A VR game with such complexity must have at least one way to prepare the levels. Plus, it gives you time to catch your breath ready for the next fight.
Also, I don’t understand all the complaints that you can’t play this while sitting on your couch !! Its VR, it is designed to be an active game and make you move. The game loading screen itself says you can play while seated, but personally I think it will totally kill the experience.
Overall, it’s a game that pushes the PSVR to its limits. It’s a fun game that will make you want to overcome challenges. Yes, the game is difficult to control (at first), but I think it would be difficult to use the Iron Man costume for real too. And yes, the challenge times set by Camoflaj are difficult, but it just makes me want to crush them more.
And really master my costume. If you are looking for an immersive and challenging VR experience, you should add this game to your list. It also surprisingly (me at least) causes no motion sickness. But if you are the type of player you prefer to play from your couch, you should probably avoid it because you will have to be active if you want to survive.
OK with me? send email to [email protected] if you have any tips and SHIELD if you are looking for the next Avenger, give me a shout!
