Without mods, a sorry excuse of a VR port. With mods, one of the best VR experiences you can have. To get a good modlist, you'll need Wabbajack and a Nexus Premium account (unless you want to manually click 'download' on hundreds of mods), but it's definitely worth it. FUS is a good Vanilla+ modlist (70 GB), while Mad Gods Overhaul is a good ultramodded list (260 GB)

TL;DR: Amazing once you mod it but Bethesda did the bare minimum to port it to VR. Definitely not worth full retail price unless/until you mod it to be good, and even then Bethesda don't deserve to profit that much from it when that value was all generated for free by modders. Get it on sale and mod it until it breaks. Phenomenal fun once you fix it with the right mods (google "Skyrim VR Wabbajack mod collection" or find Habie147's Skyrim VR setup video on Youtube), but Bethesda really did the ABSOLUTE bare minimum making this port. Once you get it running properly and add the community-made VR functionality that Bethesda lacked the willingness to implement, it's probably one of the most enduringly decent VR gaming experiences you can have. The only reason my playtime isn't vastly higher is because I had to do a fresh Windows install and I couldn't be bothered making the time to fix all my mods afterwards, and because Vortex is held together by monkeys with tape, I can't just click a "find all my mods, all the files you've linked to each other are in [insert directory here]" button, which consequently also means my old save is essentially useless unless I want to go in and out of VR 80 times to figure out which mods are still missing. If it were between this and Fallout 4 VR also, I'd say go for this. That is just as basically ported, but unfortunately has far less mod support, and thus cannot achieve VR feature parity with Skyrim VR. And get it on sale if you can. If it worked as good as mods enable it to out-of-the-box, it would be worth the normal listed price, but it doesn't. You're essentially hacking the game to get it to be what it's supposed to, and cut corners are far more impactful in something as immersive as VR. It's also worth noting that it's a weird fork of the game that isn't quite special edition and isn't quite "normal" old Skyrim, which has led the Unofficial Skyrim Patch team to not support it. There is *a* version that does, but yeah some quests may still break in classic Bethesda fashion. Also even though it's a weird fork, Special Edition is the version to grab your mods for.

*don't buy at full price* I've said this before about another bethesda game I think. The thumbs up isn't for the base game but the modding community. Yeah, you gotta fix it with mods. Totally worth it! Get it on sale.
