    Doom VFR is a short but entertaining hellride. But the bloody VR fun lacks the ease and elegance of the original.

    Doom VFR has some of the most satisfying and gratuitous action you can get in VR.

    DOOM VFR is one of the most action-packed games I’ve ever played using the HTC Vive. It’s a shame Bethesda ignored the huge amount of progress that has been made in VR development. DOOM VFR is a good game, but with a number of changes it could easily become a great game. Do not buy this game if you suffer from motion sickness as you simply won’t be able to play it for longer than five minutes at a time. However, if the locomotion issues don’t bother you, DOOM VFR is definitely worth picking up.

    Clunky controls and lack of free locomotion puts a serious dampener on this VR-port. Doom is appealing and entertaining in a new form, but id Software have taken some unfortunate shortcuts.

    VFR does not compromise when it comes to visual beauty, but talking about controls and gameplay, Doom does not really seem fit for VR. We miss the raw feeling and the cockiness of this loved shooter.

    As a huge fan of Doom and someone interested in the possibilities of virtual reality, I came away from VFR immensely disappointed. Outside of some nifty moments involving the slo-mo mechanic, VFR just isn’t compelling. The finicky teleporting mechanic hinders movement, the levels don’t accommodate VR well, the protagonist is annoying, and the combat isn’t fun. The biggest selling point for VFR is that it’s a full campaign in virtual reality, but with stiff competition in the genre like Robo Recall and Superhot VR, it’s hard for me to recommend Doom VFR to anyone.

    It could hardly get 5, and some critics rated it more than 75/100, I'm shocked. It was OK when it just came out because there was noIt could hardly get 5, and some critics rated it more than 75/100, I'm shocked. It was OK when it just came out because there was no comparison or nearly no comparison. Now it's just non-user-friendly VR-game unlike the Skyrim or Fallout VR. The main problem that distracts you from playing it is bad controls, absolutely awful controls. 4/10 thanks to "meat" during the action and shooting and the range of weapons.… Full Review »

    Very bad port. This time Bethesda has done it very wrong. Bad graphics and bad controls, nothing more to say. Better than this you can…
