A real gem in the VR space, What the Bat is distilled fun with just a pair of baseball bats and goofy characters. This game is an example of how great game design wins over fancy graphics or physics and is able to create genuine fun.
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with WHAT THE BAT? and will likely play through it again in the future seeing as it's such a funny and unique experience while also being surprisingly heartfelt.
What the Bat? isn’t going to set the VR world on fire with it’s ground-breaking use of VR tech, but it is going to make VR fans looking for a simple, fun game smile and laugh for a few hours. With a barrage of minigames and weirdo mechanics, this game radiates creativity and fun. Just, uh, don’t expect any baseball.
Not as consistently inventive or as funny as
we’d like, but still a great physics playground
to mess around in and get used to what
PSVR2 has to offer. [Issue#25, p.67]
It's basically WarioWare in VR, and it's definitely a lot of fun, especially since you can have a blast goofing around away from the actual games. And an important note: The program will only start if you have set up a playable area of at least two by two meters.
With a positively batty sense of humour, What The Bat? is a thoroughly daft VR successor to What The Golf? and the best baseball game I've played in years – also the only baseball game I've played.

Summary You have bats for hands - now GO! Swing through a series of increasingly silly minigames in a slapstick VR comedy that’s about so much more than baseball.
