    Welcome again to the badass lands of serial killers and maniacs. Graphics are normal and enough for vr. Gameplay is awesome. Some new skills and polished game. You’ll take the wheel in first-person and actually drive vehicles like you would in real life if using the ps move controllers. Drive like a mad man. %100 fun and adrenaline. A+!

    Game looks pretty good. Reminds me of Skyrim psvr. Move controllers are nicely integrated.

    One of the best looking game in PS VR. Despite it's a 6 year old game, it have a beautiful visual style and high resolution on fat console. Move support is not perfect. In combat it's too hard to move, evade, strafe, turn, shoot, reload at same time. No Aim support, but developers promise add it with patches. No DLC, this disappointing, but maybe them will be added later.

    Everybody should also keep in mind, that it is the first Borderlands VR Game, I'm quite sure Gearbox will work on the game and do some tweaks! There are many "cheap" VR Games out there, compared to these experiences, that let you only play some hours before getting bored, I can give this game a 9 out of 10, because I completed it years ago and I know what kind of fun is waiting for me, believe me, even without DLC's its a huge game!

    Merry Christmas everybody!    … Expand

    I'll just tell the most game-destroyer things i've experienced while playing:

    - Wrong pivot point on Move controllers: for some reason, the pivot point has been set in the wrist instead of the hand, so you always feel like you are holding a hand which is holding a weapon, so weird.

Needs urgent patching and I've not seen anyone complaining about this for some reason. This really is an immersion killer.

    - Movement just doesn't feel right: i'm able to play Skyrim VR or Gran Turismo for more than 3 hours without a single problem, but i can't play for more than 15 minutes Borderlands 2 VR because of the dizziness. It's awful, i've buyed a really expensive game that i can't play because it's a sickness generator.

    - Any DLC have been integrated in this port: i don't get it. This just feels like something they have made quickly to get more money for Borderlands 3.

    - Co-op mode has been removed: because integrate it in VR requires work, and they didn't want to work in this game, the just wanted the money the game could provide.

    Borderlands 2 VR IS NOT a must-have for PSVR, more like "must-avoid". This is an incredibly expensive VR and it sucks, it's just a poor port for money making. I give it a 6 because the base game is Borderlands and thats good i gess, but this is unplayable for now. Let's wait and see if they patch it or just run with the money.    … Expand

The core game is there but the lack of co op and aim support would definitely improve it. There are tons of setting to adjust or turn off which adds to playability. I preferred the move controls as they made everything immersive. Once you get used to them you'll have no trouble destroying all types of enemies this game has to offer. Before release I thought that they would compromise the controls but that's not the case. Whether you use moves or the DS4 a great time will be had. Borderlands 2 is an incredible experience that should be in everybody's game library.… Expand

    So far I love it. Has a lot of options for adjusting the vr. I had to turn off tunnel vision, use ds4, free movement, and snap turn for myself, so teleport is not your only option. The immersion is awesome, noticing things I never paid attention to when I first played the game several years ago. The art style fits extremely well with vr too.

    Very disappointing. Move controller support is awful. Teleport move is very slow to engage and seems to get blocked by invisible walls if you're not standing way out in the open, making it essentially unusable around any kind of background cover or uneven terrain. The guns all have a big floating crosshair that you can't turn off and doesn't even look like it's aligned with the iron-sightsVery disappointing. Move controller support is awful.

The guns all have a big floating crosshair that you can't turn off and doesn't even look like it's aligned with the iron-sights on some of the weapons. Scopes on weapons don't work like scopes, they just show a floating monitor 2 meters in front of you, which has a very low FPS render of the flat scope view on it. Guns can only be held one-handed - no grabbing the front of your gun to steady your aim. The game is marginally better if played on a joypad, but you lose most of the benefits of VR and a lot of the immersion playing that way, so what's the point? A great shame. Cheap cash-grab port.… Expand

The graphics are also very good and the action is non-stop. If you're looking for the next great game to play in VR then this is it. Only other minor complaint is the lack of animation for simple things like climbing ladders and reloading... this just seems a bit lazy in 2019!!    … Expand

    I got Playstation VR at the start, and lost interest. Bought Skyrim VR on the back of having played special edition and could not get in to (probably having put in to many hours to original game) but really loving Borderlands 2 VR, having also played and really enjoyed Handsome Jack collection! Its a great reason to get back in to VR again must have!

I had no second thoughts when I saw Borderlands 2 was coming for my beloved PSVR: I headed straight for the download, and I was sure I was going to have a blast (literally).

    I don't care about the lack of DLC and online gaming, but boy, the jittery neck movement is downright horrible and breaks the immersion big time. It's also inexplicable, as the game isn't a technical marvel, either. One of the pleasures I get from virtual reality is being able to look around naturally, to get that physical sensation you can't find anywhere in a "flat" game, but that's something Borderlands 2 VR just doesn't deliver.

    There's a huge collection of VR titles out there that are so much better right now, and I'm fed up with software houses releasing broken games. By the way, the recent patch which allows us to grab our dusty aim controller (which should have been implemented at day 1...) really gives the game a lot of value, and makes me hopeful that the stutter may be fixed in the future.    … Expand

    Love it! I never liked BL2 until I played it in VR with the ps aim controller - the combination of holding a gun while in VR is an experience unparalleled in terms of immersion - a game way ahead of its time - seems that the dumb masses have an aversion to strapping into vr - damn pubs, which makes VR moving forward sort of unviable commercially, which screws the dedicated community.

    More on the ps aim - the tracking is perfect and there’s something so cathartic about rotating the gun sideways like a gangsta and blowing someone’s head off.
    Where the F is sniper elite VR?? BL 2 VR demonstrates the true strength and potential of the ps aim controller.

    Like Skyrim's VR port, Borderlands 2 VR feels like a curio. It's a fun way to revisit a modern classic, but isn't the best way to actually play the game. As a VR title, it's excellent, but I'd argue if you're looking to get caught up before Borderlands 3, you'll find it more comfortable to do so in the Handsome Collection.

    Borderlands 2 VR is a good game in VR, which increases a lot the immersive potential of the game. On the other hand, this version is sold without any of the previous DLCs and does not support multiplayer. A shame for a game that's a must on coop.

    As a sum of its parts, Borderlands 2 VR is a good and fun game even though it shows its age in the level design. Its VR implementation is impressive but not perfect. The lack of DLC content, co-op or AIM support may turn off players, especially given the game's high price point, but it's truly a solid and long VR experience that will keep you entertained for at least 30 hours. If you cannot wait for Borderlands 3 or have never played Borderlands 2, Borderlands 2 VR is perhaps the best excuse in a while to immerse yourself and return to vault-hunting on Pandora.
