In Job Simulator, it’s the year 2050, and humans have automated every job on the planet. Who would’ve thought that mundane jobs could be so fun in VR? Owlchemy Labs apparently did, and it was right. Skyrim hasn’t quite overstayed its welcome just yet, and returning to Tamriel in VR is a delight, sure to intrigue longtime fans and newcomers alike. While the default movement system effectively utilizes short-range teleportation to remove the threat of motion sickness, the free movement actually works surprisingly well - better than other first-person games on the platform. The game can be played with the PlayStation Move controllers, adding more immersive combat. The visuals line up more closely to the original Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Skyrim, but it’s hard to consider that too much of a knock given the scope of this title. For a game as wide in scope as Skyrim, its voyage onto PSVR is extremely impressive. After a series of ports that have made it impossible for Skyrim to fade into the past, the fantasy experience entered the proposed future of gaming - virtual reality. The 2011 Bethesda RPG captivated gamers with its expansive open world, but its allure came from its choose-your-adventure mentality. Over a decade later and we’re somehow still talking about Skyrim. While the gameplay loop can get a bit frustrating due to the PSVR’s limited camera-tracking capabilities, Superhot VR nonetheless provides a unique experience for PSVR owners. Navigating Superhot‘s confined rooms, sifting past, and dismembering enemies have never been as satisfying as it is in VR. Will you try and go for the kill with your next movement or come up with a less direct approach? The choice is yours.

The VR version remains a fast-paced first-person shooter with an emphasis on strategy, but in VR, Superhot‘s inherent tension ramps up. In VR, Superhot employs the stop-time mechanic with the PlayStation Move controllers, which act as your hands.

In the original, time stopped every time you did, causing enemies to remain stagnant as you calculated your next move.

Serving as a sort of expansion to an already innovative title, Superhot VR tasks players with devising strategies to eliminate rooms full of hostile enemies with pistols, shotguns, knives, bottles - whatever you can get your hands on.
