    I’ll keep it simple. This is the best game I’ve ever played and I’ve played them all since the 80s. Critics will cry about graphics or they got sick because they’re not used to VR. The graphics are great once your actually IN SKYRIM. People can criticize this masterpiece but they’re the ones missing out. Big time.

    It's a game that lets you literally step into the world of Skyrim. I can't imagine a better selling point. While the Moves offer more immersion, playing with the DS4 gives you the controls you're used to while also allowing the PSVR to place you in the world. Astounding.

    Skyrim VR is my childhood dream come true. I've clocked in over 150 hours and it just keeps getting better. Climbing mountains, explorimg ruins, slaying dragons and sitting down at a table in an inn after a days work in full 3D immersion is an incredible experience. Words really can't do it justice. It's to bad we live in an age where people cant appreciate how far we have really come.

    I’ve been playing video games since Pong came out. They’re one of my favorite things in life, and I still have every console I’ve ever owned, from my Atari 2600 and ColecoVision right up through my PS4. I have a room set up with video switches where I can, and do, use any of them at any time to play my favorite games. I had never played Skyrim, but have logged hundreds of hours in FalloutI’ve been playing video games since Pong came out. They’re one of my favorite things in life, and I still have every console I’ve ever owned, from my Atari 2600 and ColecoVision right up through my PS4. I have a room set up with video switches where I can, and do, use any of them at any time to play my favorite games. I had never played Skyrim, but have logged hundreds of hours in Fallout 4, which has very similar mechanics and whatnot.

    I mention this only to give context to this next statement — Skyrim in VR is the greatest gaming experience of my entire life. Period. You will see lots of videos of it posted, you will see thousands of words written about it, but nothing can explain the experience of being IN the game world. I’ve had my PSVR for a year now, and I’ve played a dozen or so games with it, enjoying some more than others, but loving it the whole time. Yet none of it prepared me for this game.

    Step one: Use the Move controllers, but turn off teleporting. There’s probably a 30-mi Ute learning curve before you’re 100% comfortable with them, but once that last click falls into place it all feels pretty magical. I have always hated the Move controllers, but forced myself to get used to them so I could experience the bow and the magic properly, but in the end I discovered that I love them even in the menus. Bethesda did an amazing job with what I had always assumed were useless, horrible controllers.

    Long story short, again, best gaming experience ever. No exaggeration, no hyperbole, it’s flat-out all I want to do all day now. I can’t get it out of my head. I had concerns about wearing the headset for long periods, even with a year of experience, but now i’ve sat in-world for over 4 hours at a stretch with almost no discomfort.

    Get it. Play it. ASAP.    … Expand

But Skyrim was never about the graphics. Even on the regular edition they aren’t eye popping.

    Sound 9/10. Disappointingly it doesn’t have 3D audio. However it has one of the best gaming soundtracks and is unbelievable with headphones.

    Lasting appeal: 10/10. This game is amazing. It will go down as one the best gaming experiences ever. The full Skyrim experience is like nothing you will ever experience, even if you’ve played the regular version. The immersion factor of actually being in Skyrim is amazing. However this isn’t a game I’d jump right into after purchasing the PSVR. Gotta build up some experience in VR before diving in!    … Expand

    Best VR game available so far besides RE7 but unfortunately RE7 only lasts so long. Skyrim VR is the only VR game on PSVR right now that you can play for hundreds of hours (it's Skyrim after all). Only drawbacks are lower graphic resolution and the usual bugs. If you are looking for a VR game that keeps you busy this is it.

    UPDATE 11/27/2017: I ACTUALLY BEAT THE MAIN STORY LINE. All the times I have owned Skyrim I've never beaten the game. This game hooked me so much that I finally beat it! Now I am looking forward to the countless hours of side quest and leveling to get that beautiful platinum. Make no mistake, even without the trophies, this is a most have experience! I have had worn the PSVR for upwards of 6 plus hours at a time and had no discomfort issues. That move controller feels natural in my hand now. Very impressed that they utilized such crappy controllers so well.

    Just a little bit of an update on the motion sickness. So it took me additional day to get over the motion sickness. It turned out that the Dramamine I took the day before was still in my system so I would say after a solid 4 days the motion sickness is completely gone even with no medication. GET THIS GAME.

    I chose the motion control, normal locomotion and after one hour you do not want to go back to a DS4 anymore. Bethesda has found an amazing control scheme using the PS move. Shooting arrows with a bow feels like shooting with a real bow in real life, it is extremely well implemented after a little bit getting used to. Similar for slashing and stabbing with a sword. It is as if you were doing it in real life. Blocking incoming arrows with a shield is again amazing.
    The controls and buttons schemes are extremely well mapped on the 2 moves and it is great. Using fire and other magical cast is something you have to experience in VR.
    I read somewhere that the graphics are still better on a PS4 Pro, but as I mentioned before, I still have to encounter a major bug on a PS4 og.
    I haven't experienced any sickness or nausea after few hours of gaming uninterrupted. There are quite generous options in the settings to accommodate the VR experience to your liking. Especially the FOV and the snap turning intensity etc.

    Update 1: After almost 20 hrs of playing, I definitely confirm my score of 10. Using the bow and arrows is terrific especially after you invest some skill point in it. The dungeons are now scary, very scary. I had several jump scares that left me trembling. Your first encounter with a Draugr will leave some marks lol. Holding a torch while roaming dungeons is like in real life. Fabulous. I have never experienced something like that after more than 35 years of gaming. Ignore the people that are complaining about the graphics. It’s true that the resolution is low, but the graphics are well detailed and when you’re inside the World of Skyrim it’s not an annoyance at all. You’ll get used to it rapidly. Bethesda has made a big service to VR by releasing Skyrim for it. It has demonstrated that huge games can be adapted to the technology and are as much as if not more enjoyable than in 2D. I hope other big developers will follow suite and jump in the train (I’m looking at you Witcher 3. Imagine casting magic by drawing rectangles with your PS Move). Bethesda has proven as well that VR is not a gimmick but a real revolution in how we play video games. I’m hopeful for the future.

    Update 2 (One year later): I purchased a ps4 Pro and I'm playing on it at the moment. The experience is noticeably smoother in terms of graphics and frame rate. I advise you to play Skyrim VR on a Pro. I clocked 108 hours up till now and still I'm not bored. I originally never played the expansion and they offer me a lot of additional content and a new island. The developers have patched the games several times and the latest patch in my opinion brought the most improvement to the game. I really wish Bethesda brought Fallout to VR and make good use of the Aim controller.

    To summarize my long review of the game. This is the game I bought my PSVR for a few months back, and I made the right choice. If you loved Skyrim and you want to experience it in VR with a new character, do not miss this opportunity and get the game or the Skyrim VR bundle. If this sells a lot, it will push other big developers to release big games in VR and will keep the technology alive.    … Expand

    As for the review from Game Informer, giving Skyrim VR a 50...I was shocked, until I read the full article. Here's an excerpt, and all you really need to read:

    "Skyrim VR also made me sick, but I attribute this more to PlayStation VR than to the game itself. **Every PlayStation VR game makes me a little ill**..."

    Kevin Hilliard, the man responsible for such a subpar rating, should probably refrain from writing reviews for any games relating to VR. If I'm a food critic, who is allergic to a key ingredient in a prepared dish, you wouldn't ask me to write a review on how it tastes. Seems fairly common sense to me.    … Expand

    Don’t get discouraged at first if you’re normally a modded PC Skyrim player used to those ultra hi res textures. This version is truly amazing. Some of the initial textures are a little jarring but play for a few hours and you’ll be in love. Awesome being inside Skyrim in VR! And if you’ve never played Skyrim at all this is definitely worth t then as well.

Playing an archer or a mage is a blast, as is using a torch to light up your path, throwing a bottle to catch the attention of a guard. There a so many little things, little details that I never took care of and VR is making me noticing and experiencing them like never before. Watching the snow, the stars, drowning in flooded caves, everything just feels there. When I launch the title, I am in the game, I am gathering mushrooms for alchemy, catching butterflies - hell, every little thing is just so fun. I always played without fast travel, as I feel it is the true way to play Skyrim. Exploration is a big part of the game, of the experience. It is almost impossible to start a quest without venturing elsewhere as new discoveries, camps or caves are found.

    Now, I waited and watched a lot of reviews before buying the PSVR. I didn't have much faith in the moves controllers as they are re-used old tech from the ps3 era. But I'm really surprised by how great they feel in the hands and by their accuracy. While not perfect and not as precise as Vive or Oculus controllers, they handle nicely and have not triggered any frustration in my game sessions.

    The resolution is not great, but everything in the game makes up for it. Sure, if you have a decent computer that can handle the game, I would recommend you to buy the PC version instead. But for the price, if you only have a ps4 and are a fan of Skyrim, do yourself a favor and buy this. Even on the base ps4, which I have, I have no complaints: the performance is great, the game is blurry, but still beautiful and we have to thank Bethesda for porting a behemot of this kind in VR.

    I would even buy Morrowind VR would they dare to do it, as those games are just meant to be experienced. Loosing myself in an open world this big and complex is the best thing gaming has done for me since a long long time. And I just hope that we'll get to play more rpgs like this on VR.    … Expand

I watched all the videos leading up to the release and kept up with all the latest news. My biggest worries were motion sickness with movement, how well the motion controllers work with the game and if it could be played in the sitting position. This was mainly because ive only seen people play it standing up.

    Ive tried the dual shock and motion controllers and both work well. Movement is easier with the DS4 but with a little practice you can get movement with the MC to work well. Basically, you move in the direction they are facing. To go backwards you point it up and slightly back at you. I found that it takes a little while to remember the button presses on both of them and you have to hold down the triggers in order to scroll menus. With this knowledge it shouldnt take long for anyone to get to grips with it.

    Sitting down works well, although i probably dont have quite enough space with my setup for it to be perfect, i find that if i lower the MC too much they dont respond very well, even with the camera tilted down as much as possible. Im sure this is a small problem i can work out with some time tomorrow though.

    As for motion sickness, well its practically zero. I do get a little motion sickness from VR games andor tiredness, but after a full day in the construction industry ive still managed to put in 3/4 hours solid with out a break with very little discomfort indeed! Thats even moving turn speed to full and on smooth movement for turning with the vignette off (thats the black circle FOV that defaults on) I could easily see some serious mammoth skyrim sessions turning in to hours at a time without a problem.

    The only thing that would be nice is mod support. Im pretty sure they will add this at some point, not that ive ever relied heavily on mods it still would be a nice added bonus.

    Now on to what it actually looks like. Well its not bad at all, Bethesda's character models have never been "beautiful" thats not going to change, but they look pretty clear as do the houses and structures that ive seen in my first few hours, i dont know if this has something to do with playing it on a PS4 Pro or if if looks the same on a standard one. Ok it might not be up there with Resident Evil or Farpoint looks wise but i was still pleasantly surprised at what i saw.

    On to skills now. Archery looked very cumbersome in the videos but its surprisingly fun with MC's and not as difficult as it looks to aim it up to get a shot. Magic is as fun as it looks in the videos, hence why im making a vampire sneaky magic user this time around :) The hands (yes they are the floating hands we see in most VR games) look great with magic flowing out of them. In some ways the most disappointing aspect is using hand weapons like swords etc.... mainly because they just float and you dont even see a hand holding the weapons, but its still acceptable.

    Even if you have played the original game as most have this is truly a fresh and exciting way of seeing skyrim in a totally different perspective. Its not often that i congratulate software companies for really trying their hardest to make the best of a game (some EA could do with doing) but Bethesda has my respect for a job well done. If your sitting on the fence about spending money on a 6 year old game, i can understand that as i was sceptical initially, especially on some of the elements ive covered here. Rest assured though that you could do far far worse then spend your money on Skyrim VR. The only down side that i can see is that im sure as with the original, the bugs will no doubt be present in certain quests but hopefully nothing game breaking im sure.    … Expand

    I've played Skyrim before but trust me, NOTHING compares to actually being inside the game.
    Thanks to VR you are not only playing skyrim, you ARE INSIDE SKYRIM.

    Ignore the reviews about the blurry graphics. BETHESDA PATCHED THE GAME on JUNE 25th.
    It's one of the BEST looking VR games now.

    Bought the PSVR (Black Friday sale) to play this game...a game I;ve already played through at least 3 times...playing strictly with Ps4 controller, NOT motion controllers....and I am LOVING it.

Glad I bought it!… Expand

    I absolutely love Skyrim in VR. It is so good that I can't play another game even when I have time to play another game but don't have time for my headset. I used the teleportation and turning setup with move controllers from the beginning of the game. I am able to move through the world map quickly and get over obstacles I normally couldn't . I really suggest trying teleportation withI absolutely love Skyrim in VR. It is so good that I can't play another game even when I have time to play another game but don't have time for my headset.

    While it's not the best VR game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR is the most massive RPG on PSVR, and it's just as addictive as it's always been. Regardless of whether you play the main quests, chase down all of the side content, go hunting, go dungeoneering, be a smith and forge your own weapons, or go wherever you want to go, Skyrim works well enough, and that should be good enough for most players.

    VR really lets you experience Skyrim on a whole different level of immersion. Even despite PS VR’s low resolution it’s really easy to forget about the real world. The problem for me was that although I’m usually resistant to VR-induced nausea, after ca. 40-60 minutes with Skyrim VR I was starting to feel sick. [01/2018, p.50]

    It's not perfect but there's no other PS VR game with this level of depth and detail. Even if you think you've seen it all before, you've definitely never see it like this. [Jan 2018, p.96]
