+12
- Fun, silly, and clever VR game with a unique bats-for-hands mechanic that delivers lots of humorous and inventive mini-games.
- Visually appealing with stylish, quirky environments and characters; well-optimized for various VR headsets including Oculus Quest 2 and Valve Index.
- Good introduction to VR gameplay offering wholesome, family-friendly content with an enjoyable lighthearted experience reminiscent of 'What The Golf?'.
- Game is relatively short, with 2-3 hours of content and limited replayability; some find it overpriced for the amount of content included.
- Control and physics issues, such as clunky bat collisions and frustrating level resets, cause occasional annoyance and challenge players unfairly.
- Currently limited headset support on some platforms, notably problems on non-Oculus devices and lack of useful in-game features like mid-level quit or re-centering.
story
13 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is minimalistic, focusing mainly on progressing through levels without cutscenes or in-depth narrative, but it is presented with humor and charm. Players find the story short, lasting only a few hours, with limited content beyond the main gameplay. While the game's world feels empty, some appreciate its quirky storyline, though additional story content would enhance its value.
“Story and world integrity must come first.”
“Regardless, the story is hysterical and the gameplay is pretty fun.”
“The world is really empty of any life. I obviously wasn't expecting a story with cut scenes, etc., but there is nothing other than 'this is level 1, beat it to move to level 2.'”
“I enjoyed it; however, it wasn't very long (I managed to beat the whole game in about 2-3 hours) and did not have much else to do besides the main story.”
“I'd definitely recommend it on sale, but if they do get around to adding more story parts, it could be worth the $25.”
What The Bat? Review - Bat-Tastic
What The Bat? doesn't really do a whole lot to make it an essential experience among the PlayStation VR2 launch window of titles, but if PSVR2 is your first VR headset ever, then you'd only be doing yourself a favour to jump into Triband's hilarious and fun bats-for-hands world.
