The menu options allow for a fairly flexible VR experience. And yet the first night I played Fallout 4 VR ($60 on Steam, or bundled free with the HTC Vive VR headset) for three hours straight and only stopped because it was 4 A.M. As I dove further into the game, I kept finding other aspects that annoyed me, that demonstrated Fallout 4 was never built with VR in mind-awkward controls, a terrible teleport system, objects that donвЂ™t react the way youвЂ™d expect in VR. This вЂњOh, someone didnвЂ™t even think of this or at least didnвЂ™t come up with a way to solve itвЂќ rough-around-the-edges aspect does not bode well.

But it soon smoothed out, and for the most part played as expected.

I did have a few stutters on hardware above the requirements (a GTX 1080), but those appear to be limited to certain areas вЂ“ such as Vault 111, which doesnвЂ™t make the best first impression. Far fewer knobs had to be turned to their lowest setting here than in Skyrim VR on the PlayStation 4, and while Fallout 4 was never a cutting-edge game when it comes to graphics, character models, textures, and draw distances are only a little bit below where I remembered them. Given the sky-high system requirements of a GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD RX Vega 56, itвЂ™s not all that surprising that Fallout 4 looks pretty respectable in VR.
