    More importantly, it’s proven that traditional games, no matter how big, can work in VR.

    One of the best PSVR games available, up there with DiRT rally, Resident evil 7 and EVE : Valkyrie.
    So much more content than any PSVR game.    One of the best PSVR games available, up there with DiRT rally, Resident evil 7 and EVE : Valkyrie.

    Its skyrim, in VR. I expected to be standing, running around with a shield and sword.
    But like always I fell back to sneaking and archery. Only in VR archery is super fun. Its crisp, suprisingly accurate and just feels the best.

    Only played on a pro, and yes, graphics are rough at a distance, but scale, and crispness close to you feels just as good as almost any other game. Quite a feat concidering the vastness of the world and all the stuff going on. didnt see a single hitch that indicates an FPS drop.

    What I didnt like, was no option for smooth turning with the PSmoves. When you have your weapons sheathed, the move controllers appear in-game, and this is very immersion breaking. The whole selling point of VR is immersion. Minor annoyance.
    Also I wish there was some way to view my character in 3rd person, inventory screen or something, But I do understand that its not as easy as implementing a 3rd person camera mode, as this would also break immersion.

    Overall a really solid VR game, and not at all the "lazy port" i was dreading.    … Full Review »

    do not buy this if you are used to play the pc version or ps4 version. This is blurry and really bad looking. i think the 3d effect is bad anddo not buy this if you are used to play the pc version or ps4 version. This is blurry and really bad looking. i think the 3d effect is bad and i dont feel that it is real. and when i am holding a weapon it feels cheap. and the controls are horrible. the only thing that is good is that it runs smooth. i dont want to continue playing in VR, the game is soo much better non VR. And when you are attacking with motion controllers you are just poking the enemies. maybe the first enemy you are swinging the sword like a real swing, but you are not going to want to keep doing that much longer. and often when you are waving your sword at the enemy, sometimes the move controllers appears and the weapons are gone for a sec, and then they comes back. No! i dont recommend skyrim VR at all. if you dont have played skyrim at all. please dont play this before you have played the real thing. this is just a fun experiment for those who love skyrim and wants to look inside VR.… Full Review »
