    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    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

    Borderlands VR is actually my first Borderlands experience. The game offers a mindblowing and addictive VR gaming experience. The feeling that you are really there. A bit like Skyrim. Altough the game is actually not so well optimized for VR. The HUD minimap is by example difficult to see. I also prefere realistic graphics above the cartoon like graphics of Borderlands.

    First of all: I'm ready to change the score I gave this game as soon as the developers release a patch that solve some ridiculously bad head-tracking that's marring my VR experience, making this game one of the worst (and most expensive) of my PSVR collection.

    First of all: I'm ready to change the score I gave this game as soon as the developers release a patch that solve some ridiculously bad head-tracking that's marring my VR experience, making this game one of the worst (and most expensive) of my PSVR collection. 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

    The game itself is not one of my most favorite titles around, but playing it in VR really does the trick putting you in a completely new world. I wish there will be more games like this.

    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.
