The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR Reviews
Overall this game is everything i wanted from my headset: magic, dragons and sword swinging fun. I am enjoying it so much that I am not noticing it’s minimal flaws. The idea of a 100 hour RPG in VR was slightly daunting but now it’s all i want to play. I think to be able to revamp an old, over played RPG in this way is a massive achievement and I think this will add a lot of value to my PSVR headset.
Overall, Skyrim VR is still a good experience. Even if it has bad control mechanics as a VR game, Skyrim is still Skyrim. You can tell from the game’s visuals that Skyrim has aged and dated. However, Skyrim delivers its greatest strengths in this VR iteration: vast open-worlds and hundreds of gameplay hours. Despite its shortcomings, I was enjoying myself exploring Tamriel in VR. This was honestly not the best Skyrim experience but it was still worth it
PSVR has come a long way, and Skyrim VR is its crowning jewel.
Skyrim is an old game that has been released in many formats. You may baulk at the full price tag however, this is the full game and all the DLC’s fully playable in VR, that is some major game time ahead of you. Skyrim VR is well worth the cost of admission and shows us there is some real hope for the future of Virtual reality. This is a very promising sign for the future of VR.
That Skyrim VR is a great experience is not in doubt. It is a wonderful way to experience this massive fantasy world. There is a little period of adjustment to get over but fighting skeletons, dancing with dragons and ignoring housecarls is a joy in VR. That said the price is a real sticking issue and one that can’t be ignored.
