Pirates VR: Jolly Roger

Critic Reviews for Pirates VR: Jolly Roger
A linear adventure that looks great, with some combat and a bunch of puzzles to keep you thinking.
Pirates VR: Jolly Roger gives a good first impression, but this pirate adventure quickly loses its luster. The gameplay has quite a few issues, leading it to be quite a disappointment. I wish I had more to say about this VR game, but there just isn’t really much worth talking about here. Perhaps there’s some charm here in the environment, but I found myself glad that it was such a short experience.
Once Pirates VR: Jolly Roger is completed, it feels like a small step back in time due to its highly traditional approach. If I still had the first Sony VR headset in mind, I might have been more impressed by Split Light Studio’s work, despite its very short duration. There are no unforgivable flaws—the mechanics are functional, though undeniably old-school. In the end, it’s an enjoyable yet predictable pirate-themed VR adventure, well-crafted but brief and highly foreseeable.

Pirates VR: Jolly Roger offers a colorful and charming slice of pirate fantasy with lush environments, light puzzle-solving, and rewarding exploration, but its shallow combat, technical inconsistencies, and short runtime keep it from fully delivering on its potential; while enjoyable for a brief escape into a swashbuckling world, the lack of mechanical depth and polish makes it feel more like a playful VR detour than a truly immersive adventure built for the medium.
