You just *arrive* at your destination with the screen going black, briefly, inbetween, the hum of the vehicle’s engine being heard but not seen. However, before I set off for the first part of the mission proper – to find Nightwing – I had an option for two vehicles, including the Batmobile, and was looking forward to driving it through the streets….

Imagine the early Tomb Raider games, but just the puzzle-solving bits. The Batman games are always about ‘being the Batman’, but here, you feel rather constrained in that fashion. However, what was disappointing is that it essentially plays out like a point-and-click adventure, since when you want to get from A to B around a location, there’s a series of checkpoint-style markers that you can hop between rather than physically walking about. One of the best things about this is that it encapsulates the world of Batman and Gotham City along with his foes including the Joker ( Mark Hamill), the Penguin ( Ian Redford) and Joe Chill ( Glenn Wrage) who offed Batman’s parents. Has he gone out on the lash with Robin ( Troy Baker)? Sometimes, ol’ Robbie might need a bit of Dick time.

However, in the role of Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy), you don the cowl in order to track down Nightwing (aka aka Dick Grayson) after he’s disappeared. Batman Arkham VR is set before the events of 2015’s Batman Arkham Knight, a game which had immeasurable issues on the PC, took months to fix and by the time it was ready, my button-bashing digits were busy with other electronic offerings.
