Skyrim VR is an experience to behold.
Having a full VR world to explore is a feast for your senses.
You notice the height of the trees, the distant towns in the horizon, the snowflakes falling around you.
All the wonkiness of a 7 year old Bethesda game fade in the background as you are enveloped in a massive and coherent world.
The interiors are imposing and fascinating and, since the last update, standing in front of NPCs that actually look like humans increases the sense of presence.
The same can be said for plenty of other VR games, but the impact of a whole region to explore in VR is unparalleled.
Playing flat games in first person seems like such wasted potential.
In VR you notice things you never would on your television.
A lot of the work put into environments and animations get lost in the mix. On a tv, everything is combined to make for a game that feels right. Graphics that look great.
But actually being there is stupidly more interesting.
Playing something like Red Dead Redemption 2 or anything else in flat first person, after having experienced something as stiff as Skyrim work really well, just feels like a waste.
I can't imagine how many little animations, interactions and beautiful places I have just passed by, unaware of the work that was put into it.
