Owners of virtual reality headsets do not have an abundance of game options; it’s almost like a limited selection. However, for a few hours now, they can access “Bulletstorm VR,” a first-person shooter originally developed by People Can Fly and released in 2011 on PS3 and Xbox 360. This title is now available in this virtual reality adaptation. At its initial release, the game was notable for its brutality and unapologetic tone (we rated it 15/20 at the time), but thirteen years later, standards have changed. Visiting the game’s page on Steam reveals that all player reviews are negative, citing numerous bugs, crashes, and poor optimization. The VR rendering also fails to provide satisfactory sensory experiences, which has led to this disappointing launch. “Bulletstorm VR” will not be the game to revive mainstream interest in virtual reality.
