While I wouldn't rank this as high as What The Golf? or What The Car? in terms of humor or gameplay, it was decently fun. The challenges can be a bit weird at times in that sometimes the instructions are very unclear or it was just frustrating, but I suppose that's the idea since I can't imagine a game where you have bats for hands wasn't meant to be at least somewhat of a rage game. But I've managed to get past every challenge so far in less than 10 tries, so it's not like it's hard or anything. I will say though, there's two very big issues with the game that did have me legitimately angry. The way you reset a level when you've failed is a big red button at the end of your bat that is INCREDIBLY easy to hit when you didn't mean to. I really would've just preferred the reset button be one of the buttons on the controllers. I can't tell you how many times I had to redo levels because I put my controllers a little too close together. My other issue is that in most VR games, your hands don't have collision until you grab objects. I now see why that's the case.

It is fun, but the goofs get tired when the joke just continues to be "hit that thing over there, haha you have bat hands and it's difficult" $10 / 60% off of fun. Maybe not more than that if you've played What The Golf.

It's a little funny, a little frustrating and occasionally extremely clever. I really liked the Battywood free episodes

What The Bat? - Virtual Reality Review What the Bat is a really fun wacky game , the levels are unique the enivroments are stylish and super pretty and all the animals and characters are quirky without being overbearing!. Overall its a pretty short game but i really enjoyed my time with it the levels made me laugh quite a bit from each unique thing the levels do. My only issue is the bat clunkiness for the most part the levels are fine but theres a few spots that require putting an item in a slot and using bats as arms are really jank and clunky , but other than that i don't have any issues!. Really fun game GO PLAY WHAT THE BAT?
