I paid £3.75 and it was juuuust about worth it. You stand still and occasionally open or scan things, or grapple-hook/batarang things with the help of an auto-target. The presentation is great, there's lots of variety and it makes you feel cool the whole time. It's great fun sliding open a morgue drawer and using your Bat-Scanner on the corpse, then grappling out of the skylight to the Batwing above. But "the whole time" is under an hour, unless you examine every nook and cranny and then play through again with added Riddler trophies to find (though for as long as I bothered with it, this just amounts to opening drawers etc, nothing clever). Also, there are some tech issues - they haven't kept on top of it for modern headsets, so you have to do a lot of fiddling with settings in Windows and Steam VR.
So, at 75% off and if you're willing to do some fiddling, I'd recommend it as an 'interactive experience' rather than a game. But I think I would have been happier if it had been 80% off!
It did make me think, a lot more AAA(A) games should put a little team together and knock out a VR experience set in the world they've spent years building, then put it out at a very reasonable price. It was really cool just to be standing on a ledge in Gotham, looking up at the blimps and towers, looking down at the tiny cars and people streaming by.
Rating: cool experience, with some price and tech provisos.
