The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR Reviews
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.
A meager implementation of the RPG classic. Well meant, but only sufficiently executed. Only for die-hard fans.

Skyrim VR is a janky mess, but a fresh and immersive way to experience a game you've already played on several platforms.
Deep into yet another playthrough, I'm eager to explore Skyrim now than I have ever been before. Bethesda has proven yet again that there's still more life in its fantasy flagship. More importantly, it's proven that traditional games, no matter how big, can work in VR.
… this feels like the definitive way to experience Skyrim
Skyrim VR fills a gap in the current virtual reality space with a triple A open world RPG with hours of content
PSVR has come a long way, and Skyrim VR is its crowning jewel.
Because of its diminished graphics and clumsy combat controls, Skyrim VR definitely isn't the best way to actually play Skyrim. However, if you leave the difficulty on the default lowest setting and roam the world as a god who can slay enemies with the flick of the wrist, it's a good way to experience Bethesda's legendary RPG from a whole new perspective.
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.
Maybe one day we'll play an Elder Scrolls game that's built for VR natively, but for now, Skyrim VR is the next best thing.
Knowing that I can always jump in and experience one of my favourite video game fantasy worlds, and through an inhabitant's eyes, feels like a huge comfort.
The The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR has brought something new to the table. It was pretty awesome to actually feel like you are part of the game, and the world of Skyrim now feels vast, varied, and like an actual genuine place thanks to the power of VR. I would have given this one a solid eight if it wasn't for the obvious issues with the game's graphics and the clunkiness of the controls, since it has all the DLC built-in from the start which is a nice bonus.
If you have no patience for VR frustrations inherent to the systems or if you can't stand Skyrim without mods, then you'd want to steer clear of Skyrim VR. But the absolute magic of its VR controls is palpable. It never gets old and is worth the small bits of hassle the game puts you through.
Skyrim VR is a true revolution in gaming, but it's one that doesn't hit all its goals perfectly. AAA VR gaming is finally here, and it's a real marvel to behold, but it's also doubtful that many players will play this game from start to finish.
Skyrim offers the most complete VR experience on PlayStation 4, but it comes at a cost.
A serious attempt to get the whole of Skyrim working in VR, but the compromises in terms of graphics and controls are considerable.
Skyrim VR is one of the best VR games that are in the market nowadays. Even though this game has gone through almost every console and also PC, this is a great way to surprise the player and create a better immersion.

Five years after its initial release, Skyrim is still a fantastic RPG... and one of the best VR experiences.

Skyrim is the game we´ve been waiting for in PSVR. It´s long, epic and fully inmersive. Six year after its original release, we still love the story and setting, although this version is not as polished as Special Edition for PS4 PRO (in native 4K resolution) or Skyrim for Nintendo Switch.

Every time I put on the VR headset, I'm reminded of just how incredible virtual reality is. A similar awe catches hold of me with games like Skyrim. It's still hard to comprehend that Skyrim, a game from 2011 not originally designed for virtual reality, is now PlayStation VR's killer app. Marrying these two ideas seemed like an impossible feat, but Bethesda pulled it off. Skyrim VR is anything but a simple port to virtual reality. It is lovingly crafted with care and attention to make one of the biggest and most memorable VR experiences since the platform first launched. Skyrim VR isn't just a must-experience for PSVR owners; it's a reason to buy the headset.
