Finished Iron Man VR on Quest 2; it's fan-****ing-tastic.
Good MCU-like story (even though it's technically not MCU).
Great gameplay which might be basic by action game standards, but it does everything so well that it's just a real joy to play.
Varies up the levels and scenarios, and it's just the right length (about 6 hours for the main content, could probably double that if you want to 5-star everything, and a couple of hours of bonus levels too). I did it a chapter per-evening with dipping into replaying some bits so it took me a couple of weeks.
The main thing I was impressed by though was the port. It looks great; definitely in the top few best-looking games on the Quest 2, if not the best looking game. I didn't realise until going to YouTube that the port job was really involved; the developer actually made new versions of the character models which have a more stylised appearance (as the older ones would never have worked with the simplified lighting etc.), and the whole game has changes - like the lighting on PSVR is more dynamic, so on the Quest 2, many of the levels have totally different lighting setups. It even goes so far as the Shanghai city location having less headroom for its neon and lighting shaders, so instead, many of the buildings just have more interesting models so the architecture looks more varied & colourful. They really have spared no expense on the conversion. It's great because the Quest 2 version doesn't just look worse, which could've certainly been on the cards.
If you like the Iron Man movies at all, just get it, it's wonderful.
