Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best games ever made and now’s it’s in VR!! Grabbing scrolls never felt more beautiful than now. 10/10 would recommend it to an elder.

After logging more that 200 hours in PC Skyrim, I thought there was no reason to revisit it again. I was wrong! It took me a few hours to adapt to using the move controllers, and to adjust screen brightness and controls properly, but once done in in love with Skyrim all over again. Hundreds of hours await you, and while the resolution is far lower than what I played with on pc, the game is so immersive, you'll find totaled just gawking around while in caves, or just taking in the night sky. You could easily just buy a psvr and Skyrim and justify its purchase. My wife also gets motion sickness, but she can play Skyrim for hours without problems. If you are considering getting it, Just Do It!

This was kind of destined to become a thing seeing as Skyrim is such a classic. Even if you’ve played all through Skyrim once or even twice before. Nothing quite stands up to experiencing it in VR. Now it may take a bit of getting used to the controls and what not, it can be a bit weird at first, but once you find your optimal control setup you should get fairly used to it by the time you reach the first major coty in the beggining of the game. Swordplay can be a bit weird, but I’ve always enjoyed sneaking and archery anyway, which I highly recommend. It for me at least, is by far the most immersive and fun.

There are not many titles that can boast being open world and VR. This is the same game most of us know and love, but the VR aspect adds a new dimension. Personally, I find the game to be more of a technical feat than the preferred method of play. There are certainly episodes, events, and highlights that take advantage of the VR technology, but once the novelty has worn off, I do not anticipate any but the most diehard of the VR or TES fans/enthusiasts will have a lasting appeal for the countless hours it takes to play through Skyrim. Between Doom VR and Skyrim VR, on the basis they were released the same date, I would venture to say Doom is the better VR iteration, because it is a different game, designed around VR rather than a different perspective of the same game. I'm not disappointed with the purchase overall, but for my style of play, shorter sessions in a game packed with as much content as Skyrim tends to make the VR presentation less appealing.

Playing a game like Skyrim in VR is the reason to invest in VR. However, moving with the move controllers frequently results in teleporting past walls that you are not supposed to. I personally love the ability to explore areas that the developers never intended you to get to but this could be a turn off to others. If you are looking for the immersion but don't want the movement bugs, the use of a standard controller works fine.

I am new to the vr experience but have played Skyrim in the past. It's definitely a fun way to play. Using the motion controllers you basically teleort which takes away from the vr experience. However, using the controller to smoothly walk kind of causes a little motion sickness. Still would recommend

Bethesda's mastery of open world games is what makes this a great VR game. There is nothing quite like walking through the many dungeons in Skyrim, peering around the corner, taking in all the vistas and now really interacting intimately with this world. It really was meant to be experienced in VR. If you loved the original you will love this in VR.

This game is the full skyrim experience in vr. Its cool to explore the world in vr, but the motion controls for this game feel very weird and gimmicky

I've owned and finished Skyrim on my XBox 360, played it again when the "Special Edition" came out on my XBox One, and now playing through it again with my PSVR. Despite having played this game to death, it's such an INCREDIBLE experience to play it in VR and to be ACTUALLY INSIDE THE GAMEWORLD! After starting it in VR and playing for 7 hours straight, I lost track of how many times I said "Wow! That's awesome!" as I revisited familiar locations in the Game World. The immersion level is awesome and though many may complain about the somewhat "fuzzy" graphic quality, the feeling of immersion and feeling like you're actually walking around in Tamriel is absolutely breathtaking. I'm actually quite happy with the overall graphic quality (I'm playing on a PS4 Pro) and kudos to Bethesda for giving players so many VR "comfort" options so that those more prone to motion sickness can set the options to make it more comfortable. I personally have no issues with "VR Sickness" since I've been playing with my PSVR for almost a year now, so I've disabled all the extra VR limitation settings to give myself the full experience! This is a DEFINITE MUST BUY for any current PSVR owner and also a great way for people still thinking about getting a PSVR to finally pick up a headset and experience the wonder of VR.

I'll start off with I own Skyrim for ps3, ps4 and pc so that should tell you how much I liked this game. Playing in VR is INSANE! They had to scale down the graphics a little so it's not graphically as good as the remaster but you will forget all about that with in minutes of playing really. You can use move controllers or a dual shock but I would recommend the dual shock. This is not a watered down version it is the full fledged game!

Skyrim is my only VR game that I return to after the novelty has worn off. This is the same, entire fantastic game, playable in VR, with move controllers. The graphics take a huge hit, and some balance issues come about because you can perform actions much faster than you can with a controller, but this is an incredible way to replay an incredible game. The feelings of standing by a waterfall in a cave, drawing your bow while sneaking up to a goblin, or getting to a mountain top under the stairs are incredible in VR. Especially recommended if you are used to VR and don't get motion sick. There are great movement options for people who do get sick, but they are not afraid to let you turn them all off and walk around like normal if you want, which I appreciate.

This game feels completely different in VR. Dragons are actually imposing, spiders are actually scary, archery requires skill it's like a refresh of the 2011 classic.

This is the type of VR game I've been wanting. I've always wanted a VR game that would take me a long time to beat because most of the VR games I play have not been that long in length but this game will definitely take me a long time. Whenever I play, I feel like I'm in a new world and I can do what ever I want to do without having to follow a particular order of things. I haven't played any of the Elder Scrolls games before so I am really glad that this is my first!!

Let's face it, we are in the era where remakes, remasters, and re releases are king. Outside of the standard texture upgrade or two, there's not much added to enhance the experience. Skyrim, has been re-released on everything but Samsung's latest high end refrigerators....just give it time. That is not to say that it is not one of the best experiences offered since its 2011 release, but it has not exactly reinvented the wheel. What Skyrim VR does right, is it has successfully created a fresh take on the game. Offering two different control schemes, along with an option for full locomotion to boot. What I liked most about the experience is allowed for complete immersion in its vast world of winding dungeons and dark catacombs. The implementation of the VR Headset made me want to walk around and explore everything. It is truly a fresh take on an otherwise old formula, but one that is more than invited to experience. Good job Bethesda. I would recommend this game to added to anyone with a VR Headset collection.

Okay, it's not a perfect VR experience by any means, but it's a lot of fun and a way to really experience the world of Skyrim. This is the full on game with all the DLC and it looks pretty good in VR. I do have a few caveats that keep it from greatness (or 5 stars in this case), the controls can take a bit getting used to and motion sickness will ensue if you can't handle it, but that could be said for any game in VR, but Skyrim does have a lot of walking. It supports Move thankfully and you'll be swinging your sword and holding your shield with ease. The menu navigation is a bit lackluster using move and I found myself using the dual shock for menus and the Move for everything else. It's not a perfect system, but the experience of Skyrim in your face is worth the price of admission. If you can nab this game on sale, 40 bucks or lower, I'd recommend it highly. There's still a lot to explore in such a large VR package. P.S. don't expect 4K textures and super high res in VR, a bit of a shame but the graphics are not on par with, say, Blood & Truth.

Play this game on ps4 pro only the graphics do get better than the base ps4 vr is the future

This game looks best on the PS4 Pro. PSVR games are unplayable with the motion controllers so I used a paddle. Skyrim is pretty good. I love how you can get really up close and personal with enemies and NPCs. I do not have motion sickness but I can only play this game for about 15 minutes until I feel ill.

If you loved Skyrim and like VR youll find your chocolate in your peanut butter here. The motion controls take time to get used to but swinging a sword or holding your hands together to cast spells is very entertaining. You have to nock an arrow and pull back on the bows of the game to fire which is a cool little touch.

Obviously anyone who has ever played Skyrim probably said they "practically lived there" or something along those lines, so making it a VR game is a no-brainer. And while it's amazing to be able to look around and take in your surroundings, two things dampen the experience and will likely keep you from playing for hours on end the way the game usually inspires you to do. One is that the motion sickness I got is worse in this than other VR games I've played; after ten minutes I was woozy whereas I can usually last a half hour or so. The other is that the lower resolution for the graphics, customary in PSVR titles, is much more noticeable due to the fact that this is a game we've all played. At times it looks even worse than the last-gen non-VR version of the same, let alone the enhanced upgrades for PS4/X1. So while you're "inside" the world, it's also a world that looks cruddier than the one that made you want to go there to begin with. Control works fine and the entire game (plus the DLC) is accounted for, so it's not a stripped down version or anything, but I would truly be amazed if someone were to be able to complete even one major quest line, let alone the entire game, in VR mode, which makes it a tough sell at full price. I wish they could have taken a cue from RE7 and made it playable without VR so new players could at least enjoy the game the normal way if the VR proved to be too much.

Great game always fun to play and in psvr version fun but a little bit to get used to.
