REVIEW INFO
Platform reviewed: Meta Quest 3
Available on: Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S
Release date: November 18, 2025
While it does not stay as much as the lofty highs of Batman: Arkham Shadow, there’s a pleasant action-packed story – full with Deadpool’s zany humor – to expertise right here. One that’s certain to please main followers of the Merc with a Mouth.
From the get-go, Deadpool VR showcases that it’s at its best when you’re moving at a million miles per hour – kicking things off with one of the most exhilarating action spectacles I’ve experienced in VR games and of my whole VR profession.
At the identical time, interspacing unbelievable set items and fulfilling sandbox slaughterfests – which reward you for vanquishing foes in inventive ways in which abuse Deadpool’s diverse weapons arsenal – are moments that drag the expertise to a halt.
A distinct lead would use these moments to supply depth to his motivations, and introduce story beats that emotionally join the participant to the character – Deadpool, nonetheless, takes the possibility to vomit quips.
In truth, very like the comedian ebook and film variations of Deadpool, Neil Patrick Harris’ rendition by no means stops joking.
To that finish, in case you thought the Deadpool motion pictures have been the comedy equal of phrase salad, you’ll hate Deadpool VR. Meanwhile, these of you who love Deadpool’s referential, bizarre, and/or self-deprecating humor will discover a giggle a minute – although I can’t promise each gag might be a comedy gem. With a script jam-packed with jokes, lots are stinkers.
Now in Mojo-vision
While on a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D. Deadpool is employed (learn: kidnapped) by Mojo – the ruler of the content-obsessed Mojoworld. He’s after his subsequent streaming hit and desires the merc to assist him recruit (once more, learn: kidnap) stars for his present.
This sends everybody’s favourite anti-hero on a world-hopping quest throughout the Marvel universe with the intention to observe down and seize iconic foes.
Aiding him are Major Domo and Spiral, who provide Deadpool new weapons and ‘guy in the chair’ help as he carries out his missions.
As Deadpool completes missions, he’ll earn mojobucks, a forex he can commerce for brand spanking new seems to be and weapons, and as I’ve talked about beforehand, you earn extra bucks based mostly on how nicely you carry out in Deadpool VR’s fight segments.
In this sandbox-lite expertise, you’re armed with swords, firearms, a grapple gun, grenades, and, at occasions, your individual arms, in addition to a slew of different weapons that drop from enemies with the intention to ship a beatdown to your enemies.
Not solely can creatively combining weapons result in a greater rating, however I’ve additionally discovered it actually makes you are feeling such as you’re within the sneakers of the hyperactive superhero – particularly if you merely huck a katana throughout the battlefield to skewer an enemy to the wall.
Just don’t anticipate this to really feel like a hyper-realistic sandbox like another titles on the market. Deadpool VR leans into chaotic violence that appeals to my sense of enjoyable, however not everybody’s – a sentiment that I really feel captures the spirit of Deadpool VR completely.
Best bit
The opening to Deadpool VR could be one of the best opening to an motion VR sport ever. While some wonderful moments comply with, the intro actually units the tone for what’s to return.
Weirdly, the principle time the motion feels at its most anticlimactic is throughout boss battles. Simply as a result of being a degree’s hardest foe interprets to being a bullet sponge, with the drawn-out fights being interspaced with quick-time occasions, which, whereas a flashy flurry of blows, could make ranges really feel like they finish with a whimper fairly than a bang.
Though in case you are satisfied to replay a degree, you’ll be rewarded with not solely the possibility to check out new devastating weapons in your enemies, Deadpool VR additionally allows you to discover secret bonus rooms – offered you put on the right costume for the event. That mentioned, even the mainline Deadpool can uncover a couple of surprises if he chooses.
Quintessentially Deadpool
Much like how Batman: Arkham Shadow is the quintessential approach for followers of the caped crusader to expertise a Batman story, Marvel’s Deadpool VR is the brand new greatest solution to grow to be the Merc with a Mouth.
If you’re keen on Deadpool, that is the sport you’ve been ready to play, and it’s nicely value grabbing a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S so you possibly can expertise this title for your self.
However, this sport received’t flip haters into True Believers. The continuous gags, that are the one supply of amusement when the sport’s exposition drags on, is quintessentially Deadpool, however in case you discovered it grating when it was Ryan Reynolds was delivering the strains on the massive display you received’t discover it any funnier when it’s Neil Patrick Harris speaking in your head – take it from my fiancée who can’t stand the Merc with a Mouth.
If, like me, you like Marvel’s tales, particularly Deadpool’s model of quirky, then Marvel’s Deadpool VR is the sport you’ve been ready for.

Acessibility options
Marvel’s Deadpool VR could be performed seated or standing up, however requires you to have a full vary of higher physique motion so you possibly can swing your katana, throw grenades, and hearth weapons at your foes.
It additionally boasts a strong suite of consolation controls. I’m taking part in on medium ranges (easy movement, snap turning) and have but to expertise movement illness, however there are alternatives to activate instruments like teleportation motion in case you’re liable to feeling ailing in VR.
How I examined Marvel’s Deadpool VR
