Iron Man VR’s story is set up rather oddly. As it stands now, the game is rather lackluster for the initial two or three hours, enough time to turn off anyone already experienced with VR. If you could hop right to the middle or skip pointless tutorials, Iron Man VR could’ve been my favorite VR game of all time. These gameplay highs are unfortunately tucked away behind a meandering story and intense degrees of tutorial padding. When Iron Man VR’s gameplay gets it right, there’s nothing quite like it.

If I still worked at that arcade, Iron Man VR would likely join my shortlist of must-play VR games.

We touted over 50 “experiences” that you could play for short bursts, but the staff knew only three – Superhot, Space Pirate Trainer, and The Climb – were worth playing. In 2017, I worked part-time at a VR arcade.
