    Great first generation VR game, but too reliant on a multiplayer PvP experience instead of a good storyline of a single player game and full immersion experience. Few maps.

    If you go in with high expectations for the game, you'll be disappointed. A spade is a spade. This game is clearly a large testing ground for the VR . Now that's not to say the game isn't fun, because it really is. You can easily get lost in the experience.

Now that's not to say the game isn't fun, because it really is. You can easily get lost in the experience. While not the smoothest of shooters, you can spend all day in the cockpits of those spaceships. Each ship gives you a little different variety and generally aren't too hard to handle. The main story is essentially a walk-through of how to go into multi-player, which is the obvious draw of the game.

    Going against the A.I. in multiplayer provides challenge as well. They are no pushovers. While the battles can be engaging in fun, the lack of real customization of the ships makes it easy to predict your opponent and vice versa. The game can be difficult for those who have to focus on multitasking because you can't just shoot, you have to maneuver to survive the battle. And don't expect to rack up high kill counts every mission. The variety in multiplayer isn't bad, but its all of the same you are used to.

    To mention again, this is a testing ground game for the VR. Its made to hold you over till the other games come out. If you go in looking to simply enjoy the VR and a decent multiplayer experience, you will have a lot of fun. If you go in expecting to find the next great flight combat game, you will be very disappointed.    … Expand

    Eve: Valkyrie is a VR cockpit dog fighting game. One of the coolest experiences in VR for me so far has been flying and looking around in 360. Unfortunately outside of the multiplayer, where there is a steep learning curve, there is very little to this game. Valkyrie feels like a test demo for hopefully a fully fleshed out game in the future.

    Eve is one of the best looking virtual reality games, it makes great use of PS VR and its multiplayer mode is brilliant. [13/2016, p.80]

    CCP hasn’t adjusted the game’s free-to-play Oculus Rift structure, however, despite the game costing $79 on PS VR, and the resulting grind to acquire everything is spirit-sapping. [January 2016, p80]

    Reveals itself to be a lot like space: beautiful, but mostly empty. [Christmas 2016, p.96]
