These are the Best Open World VR Games.

Into The Radius

The Into The Radius Logo

If you’re looking for a truly weird place to explore then Into The Radius will certainly deliver. In all of the VR games I’ve played none gives as much of an experience of the surreal and scary quite like Into The Radius does.

In this game you’re an explorer doing your best to survive the Pechorsk Zone, which is a huge open world area comprised of 5 areas where the laws of the natural world no longer apply.

Fighting the dark figures in Into The Radius

As you hunt for artifacts, scavenge for supplies, and try to complete missions you’ll have to fight your way through the hostile dark figures that stalk the radius, and dodge the deadly anomalies that dot the landscape.

Into The Radius is a great open world game not only for its numerous combat and survival challenges, but for the imagination behind its world.

Pechorsk was once a normal place, but now there are all sorts of insane gravity defying ruins and odd structures scattered about. You really never know what you’ll see and discover next while exploring in this VR open world game.

A massive anomaly in Into The Radius

Into The Radius has made its way on a lot of our lists here at Reality Remake for good reasons. Not only is it a blast to play with tons of horror and action packed gameplay, but it also gives you a mysterious and strange world to explore.

That’s why Into The Radius is among the best open world VR games out there.

Elite Dangerous VR

So you want an open world to explore in Virtual Reality, well what if we told you that more than one world was available? Well there are many worlds to explore in the depths of space, and that’s why Elite Dangerous VR is such a fantastic choice as an Open World VR game.

There is so much to explore in Elite Dangerous VR that nobody has seen all of it. Even all of the players of this game put together haven’t explored a small percentage of the worlds in store, because Elite Dangerous VR models our actual Universe.

If you want to not only see the incredible sights of space, but also have an effectively infinite number of worlds to discover, then Elite Dangerous VR will satisfy your craving for deep space exploration.

The views of space in Elite Dangerous VR are unmatched

There’s also more to do in this VR open world game. There’s combat, space trucking, space piracy, all sorts of things. No matter what you choose to do your chosen profession will take you all over this gorgeous game in the cockpit of your ship.

As far as open worlds go they don’t get much more open than the depths of space, so if you want to explore the cosmos Elite Dangerous VR is a great choice of open world VR game.

No Man’s Sky VR

The No Man’s Sky Logo for their expansion “Beyond”

Since we’re talking about VR open world space games we’ve got to mention No Man’s Sky VR.

This game has a lot of the same open world strengths that Elite Dangerous VR has, but with very different gameplay mechanics.

The universe is just as infinite in No Man’s Sky VR, but instead of always being confined to your ship you also have much more to do by walking around on the surfaces of planets like harvesting resources, fighting robots, and a ton more. All in immersive Virtual Reality.

Exploring a massive open world planet in No Man’s Sky VR

Learn alien languages, upgrade your ship, get a massive freighter, start a space colony, and so much more is available in No Man’s Sky VR. Of course, this game also has more worlds to explore than you can possibly imagine.

Despite getting a lot of bad press at its release, No Man’s Sky has delivered on so much since then, including this VR port, though on PCVR it leaves some to be desired. It’s easy to walk outside of your body, and the VR controls are a little janky at times.

So while not as smooth of a VR open world sci fi experience as Elite Dangerous VR, No Man’s Sky VR brings a ton of different gameplay options that Elite Dangerous’ purely spaceship and space rover based experience just can’t deliver on.

So while it’s not the best VR port around and can run pretty choppily, No Man’s Sky VR is still a fantastic open world VR game, especially on the PSVR2, where it runs much more smoothly.

The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners

The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners Logo

The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners is another fantastic example of a VR open world game done well.

In this game you are the Tourist, an infamous survivor of the zombie apocalypse in the universe of The Walking Dead and you’ve recently arrived in the flooded city of New Orleans.

This game has an interesting story with compelling characters that centers around your quest to find The Reserve, a bunker which is rumored to contain tons of weapons and supplies that everyone in the city wants.

A small horde of zombies in The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners

Your mission to find The Reserve will take you all over the ruined and zombie filled streets of The Walking Dead’s New Orleans. You’ll need to scavenge, craft, and fight through not only zombies but also the human factions that all want a piece of The Reserve, and you.

The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners is a fantastic game not only for its story, missions, and events, but also the world that you enter every time you go out into the city.

There are all sorts of ruins to explore and sights to see in the zombie filled streets of New Orleans. The world is massive, though it is cut up into separate maps with tons of nooks and crannies to explore and things to find.

If you want a zombie themed open world VR game then there is no better one to scratch that itch than The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. It’s also available on the Meta/Oculus Quest as well as PCVR.

Green Hell VR

The Green Hell VR Logo

Both on PCVR and the Meta Quest platforms Green Hell VR is a fantastic game that lets you explore the Amazon rainforest in all of its green and dangerous glory.

From hunting animals to discovering which plants will make you sick or nourish you, Green Hell VR combines an intricate crafting, survival, and building system with a huge rainforest to explore.

You’ll even discover that you’re not quite alone in the green hell, there are some local peoples that aren’t too fond of you interloping in their territory.

Being attacked by a Jaguar in Green Hell VR

Green Hell VR is a fantastic VR survival game that constantly forces you to deal with the very real perils of your environment from leeches in the water to pumas stalking you between the trees.

There are very few games that combine survival elements with the thrill of exploration and discovery in a natural space quite like Green Hell does, and even fewer that do so in Virtual Reality.

Green Hell VR is a great open world VR game, and also a great story for you to discover. Why are you trapped in the rainforest? Why can’t you leave?

Hanging out and cooking food in Green Hell VR

If you want to discover the rainforest in all its dangerous beauty and master it then there’s no better VR open world game than Green Hell VR.

The Forest VR

The Forest VR Logo

While we’re on the topic of VR open world games that give you a big natural environment to explore, then there’s no way we won’t mention The Forest VR.

A PCVR port of the hit game The Forest, The Forest VR is essentially the same game but with a VR view and controls. While it’s not the smoothest VR port in terms of performance, quality, or VR interactions, it is still a great open world VR game to enjoy.

In this game you are a passenger on a crashed plane that must survive in a dangerous forest inhabited with cannibal tribes that only grow more aggressive as time passes.

Meanwhile you’re looking for your kidnapped son, and try to discover what exactly is happening in the remote stretch of wilderness you find yourself in.

Walking through the titular Forest

I’m not going to sugar coat this though, The Forest VR has a lot of jankiness to it.

From the third person animations to the annoyances of trying to crouch without being teleported into the air, and the input lag that can give you a headache or just make the game frustrating to play.

Still, The Forest is such fun as a Virtual Reality open world game if you can get over those things. It gives you a huge world to explore filled with dangerous cannibals, vistas and caves to explore.

Slingshotting a cannibal

There is a lot of VR game for you to have fun with if you’re able to, and exploring the forest and its mysteries while you gather resources and uncover mysteries is too much fun to not include it on this list.

Gorilla Tag

The Gorilla Tag Logo

If you’re into VR games then you’ve probably heard of Gorilla Tag. So we won’t talk too much about it here, but you might not have realized that Gorilla Tag is basically an open world game as well.

Each area in Gorilla Tag is connected, and whether you’re playing it on PCVR or the Oculus Quest it is completely free. Your first time exploring each area with this game’s fantastic movement system is still a ton of fun, because each of the levels is connected.

A fantastic piece of Gorilla Tag’s open world

There are a lot of nooks and crannies and things to discover and explore in Gorilla Tag, from a sunny beach to floating platforms high up in the sky.

So if you want to discover what is so special about Gorilla Tag’s VR oriented movement while also exploring an interesting world, then give it a shot. It’s free, and surprisingly satisfying as a VR open world to explore.

Ghosts of Tabor

The Ghosts Of Tabor Logo

If you want player vs player shooting action while you scavenge and explore a world ravaged island, then Ghosts of Tabor is a game that delivers just that. It is a fantastic VR shooting game and a fantastic VR open world game.

We’ve called it a VR Escape From Tarkov game before, and if you’ve heard of Tarkov then you know exactly what that means.

In Ghosts of Tabor you enter the world from your secret bunker by starting a raid, and in that raid you have a certain amount of time, at least 30 minutes, to find an extraction point and exit.

A massive building to explore in Ghosts Of Tabor

While you look for one you explore the map and try to find loot to take out with you and either sell for money to buy more equipment, or store in your bunker for later use.

Meanwhile other players might be your friend or foe out in Tabor, and the local FENIX rebels will certainly be unhappy to see you.

Oh, and just like in Escape From Tarkov if you die you lose everything you have on you. So staying alive is always your number one priority.

Fighting another player in Ghosts Of Tabor

So if you want an open world to explore while combined with fantastic player versus player shooting and the extraction shooter mechanics pioneered by Escape From Tarkov, then give Ghosts of Tabor a look.

For such an action focused game it also gives you a ton of explore and discover, making it a great open world VR game as well.

Stormland

The Stormland Logo

Stormland is a VR game so old that you might not have heard of it. This was an early Oculus title from the days when standalone VR headsets like the Meta Quest weren’t even available yet.

So Stormland is PCVR exclusive, but wow is it a hidden gem.

In this game you’re a robot with human consciousness on an alien world, and it takes a lot of inspiration from flatscreen open world games.

Flying in Stormland

You explore around finding camps of enemies and clearing them to make the world a little bit safer, and there’s a shooting combat system that by today’s standards is a little unsophisticated. Oh, and the game is awfully short at about five to six hours.

Though where Stormland really shines is when it lets you loose to explore its open world. I’ve never had such a good time flying around in a VR game than I did when coasting through the alien world of Stormland.

The towering columns packed with vegetation and science fiction structures scattered around the place make Stormland a very pleasing game to look at and a great VR open world game to explore.

Despite how short of an experience it is compared to more modern VR open world titles, and a somewhat lackluster combat system, Stormland is a ton of fun to explore at least once if you don’t mind paying the price for it.

Grimlord

The Grimlord Logo

Remember Dark Souls? Or maybe Elden Ring. You’ve probably heard of at least one of them and are familiar with the concept of a “souls-like”.

These games are very well known for their excellent melee combat systems as well as their harsh punishments for repeated failure. Well Grimlord takes both of those things, and puts them into a fantastic open world just like any of the flatscreen soulslike games.

Fighting multiple enemies in Grimlord

The biggest difference is, of course, the addition of VR controls and a VR view.

Instead of hitting a button to attack in a set pattern, depending on your weapon, you’re now swinging your weapon any way that you want with your actual arm!

If a VR fighting game that includes a massive open world and soulslike progression sounds interesting in the slightest then you should really check out Grimlord, it’s a ton of fun.

Skyrim VR (With Mods)

The Skyrim VR Logo

It’s no secret that Skyrim VR was not a very good VR port. From the poor optimization to the lack of very basic VR interactions, it was considered a flop and a cash grab by its publisher, Bethesda Softworks.

Luckily as with all Bethesda games, Skyrim VR has had a lot of work put into it independently by the modding community.

If you want to do fairly basic VR things like grab stuff, have a physical body in the world, or enjoy melee combat that amounts to more than just flicking your wrist near an enemy, Skyrim VR with mods will give you all of that in the beautiful and immersive open world of Skyrim.

The entrance to Whiterun in Skyrim VR

Now you can experience Skyrim VR like you should have been able to from the start. While there are still some performance issues on certain graphics cards, Skyrim VR with mods really delivers on a VR Elder Scrolls experience.

Now you can explore Skyrim’s vast open world with truly immersive VR controls, and wow is it a ton of fun. If you’ve always wanted to explore Skyrim in VR, but the reputation of the VR port kept you away, it’s time to install mods and give it a go.

If you want the easiest way to install a large suite of Skyrim VR mods without having to worry about cross compatability issues, then check out our guide on the easiest way to install Skyrim VR mods so that you can enjoy this VR open world.

Minecraft VR

To cap off this list of the Best Open World VR Games, none needs as little introduction as Minecraft VR.

We don’t need to tell you anything about this game and what it entails, just that it’s possible to enjoy it in Virtual Reality and experience the most open of open worlds.

The satisfaction of creating a fantastic building is better than ever in Virtual Reality, and if you want a limitless open world to explore in VR then Minecraft VR will always deliver.

Well that’s it for our list of the best VR Open World games. If you want a big world to explore then you’ll certainly have found something on this list that you’ll enjoy. I’ve personally played every single one and found something to enjoy in exploring each of them, and you certainly will too. Have fun!

5 Ghosts of Tabor Tips and Tricks to Help You Survive and Extract

Want to have huge raids and big loot in Ghosts of Tabor? Well if you’re just starting out in VR’s only extraction shooter you might have a hard time getting in, getting some noteable loot, and getting out alive. It can be intimidating, and you might be concerned with losing your equipment before making any progress. Well don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with 5 Tips and Tricks that will help you get in and get out with the goods.

Always Bring a Backpack

You should always have a backpack whenever you start a raid. The first backpack that you can buy is super cheap and holds a decent amount of stuff. Since backpacks aren’t commonly found in raid you might end up with a bunch of items to extract with but no way to hold them all if you don’t bring one. A backpack is always worth the low price. If you don’t bring one you’re losing out on a lot of potential gains.

You should come in with a gun too, even if it’s just a pistol, and an extra magazine in your backpack. You might decide to try and see if you can find one in raid for the ultimate budget zero to hero sort of run. That’s up to you, though bringing a gun of some kind is a very good idea so you can at least shoot a FENIX scav and take their weapon. You don’t want to bet on finding a slain enemy with their gun lying by them before enemies find you.

You might also be thinking that you just want to go in with nothing so that you risk nothing and can learn the maps. If that’s what you want then keep reading. There’s a much more fun way to learn the maps.

Use Training Mode to Learn Maps and Warm Up

If you’re new to Ghosts of Tabor then the maps and how they are laid out with loot spawns and extraction points might be hard to figure out at first when you’re constantly worried another player is going to get you. While you have a compass that tells you what direction the extracts are in, it’s still hard to find them on some maps like Missile Silo. When you’re ready to leave you’re going to want to get to one as soon as possible.

Well you don’t have to risk your equipment to learn the maps. Each map in Ghosts of Tabor has a training mode that is the exact same as a normal raid, except there will be no other players and any equipment gained and lost is not saved. When you die or extract you’ll have the same gear on you as when you went in.

Training mode is a great way to warm up by fighting some FENIX, and to get your bearings on each map before you risk it all in a raid.

Selling Guns Is Easy Early Money

As far as what you bring out of raid with you, selling guns is the easiest way to make early money. If you get a pistol from a dead FENIX grunt, just pop it in your bag. Each will sell for a few thousand at least, much more than most of the loot items that you will find in boxes and crates (though you should still check those too). You can also complete FENIX kill quests while you’re at it for more money and reputation.

If you’re wondering what sells then guns are always a safe bet. You can carry a long arm on your chest and a pistol at your waist. You also extract with whatever is in your hands, as well as what you have stored on you. So if there’s some guns really close to an extract and you don’t think there are any enemies, you can carry two additional weapons in your hands, and they’ll appear with you in your safe house.

Be careful though, fighting FENIX members means you’ll make a lot of noise and possibly attract other players.

Keep Your Ears and Eyes Open

Especially when you’re sorting out equipment or stuffing items into your backpack, make sure to always listen for gunshots and footsteps. Your ears are your best way to know if enemies, especially other players, are close to you. While looting as quickly as possible is always good, if you hear quick footsteps or gunshots near to you it’s better to not risk being caught by surprise with your backpack in your hands. Either leave if you want to avoid a fight, or have your gun up and be ready for one.

While hearing is great, especially when in close quarters, the sound of footsteps doesn’t go extremely far. So when you’re playing on more open maps like the Island of Tabor, make sure to keep a look out, and check behind you from time to time. Try to stick to areas with foliage and objects that break lines of sight to you. An enemy could be sneaking up behind you with a rifle and shoot you before they’re close enough for you to hear them.

Turn off Full Body for Easier Looting

One of the biggest additions that VR brings to the raid shooter/extraction shooter genre that can’t be found elsewhere in games like Escape From Tarkov, is that you have to physically handle items and loot. Picking items up off of the floor can be especially tricky if you’ve got the Full Body model turned on. While the full body model looks really cool, the legs have an annoying habit of blocking your view to any items on the floor.

Unfortunately you can’t move your legs out of the way like real legs, and so it will be easier to pick up items if you turn the Full Body model off and change it to Hands Only.

There you have it, 5 Tips and Tricks for Ghosts of Tabor. Good luck in your raids and may your stash always grow larger.

VR Tarkov Is Great - Ghosts of Tabor Review - Tarkov VR

There’s a number of people who are both Escape From Tarkov fans and VR shooter enthusiasts who have always wanted a VR Tarkov. Well you won’t have to wait any more, Tarkov VR is here in Ghosts of Tabor.

This game is fantastic, and takes everything that is great about Escape From Tarkov and puts it in VR. Ghosts of Tabor is available on the Oculus Quest/Meta Quest headsets as well as on PCVR through Steam.

There’s also planned releases for the Pico 4 and PSVR2. Here’s a complete review as to why this VR Tarkov game is great and everything we could have asked for.

Note that Ghosts of Tabor is currently in Open Beta, and so not all planned features are implemented and there are the sorts of bugs you might expect from a game still in development. When changes are made this article will be updated.

The Premise

This VR Extraction Shooter takes a lot of cues from Escape From Tarkov in its premise.

Even their website looks really similar with a bunch of elite looking guys in full combat gear on the front page.

Basically extreme Russian Nationalists (you might call them Ultra-Nationalists) have declared war on the world and nuked a NATO stronghold. You are a special forces member in the area, known as a “Ghost”.

You are completely surrounded. You’ll have to fight the Nationalist Russians (called the Volk) as well as the FENIX rebels, and even fellow Ghosts as you struggle to survive.

Core VR Tarkov Gameplay

Alright so let’s address the question that’s probably the most on your mind. How is Ghosts of Tabor a Tarkov VR game? How similar is it? Does Escape From Tarkov’s gameplay work well in Virtual Reality?

The answer to that last question is yes, it is extremely fun. As for the first ones, the easiest way to answer those is to explain exactly how Ghosts of Tabor plays.

You start the game in your bunker hideout. There’s an Armory where you keep your weapons, and even a storeroom for any loose items and valuables you’re holding on to.

The bunker is huge too, with a lot of areas meant for crafting, performing surgery on yourself, and so on. So anyway you grab your gear (more on that later) and go to the terminal to deploy to a raid.

The loading times are extremely quick, and you’ll be in a raid in thirty seconds at the most. After joining and loading you’ll be standing, equipped in your chosen gear, somewhere in the raid map.

So you start walking around, looking in containers and boxes for anything of value that you can shove in your backpack. You’ll probably hear gunshots pretty soon.

That’s because all around the raid map are these guys, the FENIX.

They’re dressed in basically civilian clothes and are pretty lightly armed with pistols, submachine guns, or rifles. You can even sneak up on the FENIX members if you approach quietly enough and they aren’t looking at you.

Every one you kill will drop their weapon and some magazines for it. So if you want to get another weapon and some ammo, FENIX members are an easy way to get them.

They’re basically Scavs from Escape From Tarkov, and are hostile to everyone that isn’t them.

Of course as you’re scavenging loot from the map and fighting FENIX, you’ll come to realize that they aren’t the main threat.

Other Ghosts, other players, are. You can tell other players from how their body moves, and that they’re wearing military fatigues.

Every player’s mic is always on and other players can hear you talk, so you can freely chat and try to negotiate your way out of a gunfight if you care to try.

Though if you start talking they’ll be able to hear exactly where you are. They might try to shoot you to get your stuff, or just because they think you’ll shoot them. All of the social dynamics in Escape From Tarkov are here in Ghosts of Tabor, except with the added benefit of the greater emotion, body language, and interactivity VR.

You can even throw down your gun and raise your hands to try to surrender. That’s one of the things that makes Tarkov VR truly amazing.

Each raid is on a generous timer of 30 minutes to an hour.

You have to find an extraction radio and leave at some point during that time. Dying is another way to leave a raid, but you probably don’t want to do much of that. Green glowsticks near a radio lit up green show you when you are at an extract that you can use.

Even better, you can now see what direction extracts are in using your compass at the top of your view. So there’s no need to take your headset off and furiously google where the extracts are like you would when you’re new to Tarkov.

You can see that the gameplay is basically VR Tarkov.

The classic extraction shooter formula now in Virtual Reality. With all the same surprising situations and dynamics that constantly keeps the game fresh and fun. While at the same time Ghosts of Tabor always gives you something to care about each raid, and something to lose.

All of this with the immersion and physical presence of Virtual Reality.

With that in mind, let’s talk about some of the key features of an extraction shooter game and how they turn up in Tarkov VR. Like, how do you gear up?

Gear and Progression in Tarkov VR

Ghosts of Tabor brings all of the gearing options and potential of Tarkov to VR, and even enhances it. You don’t just put chest rigs and helmets into a slot on a menu.

No, in VR Tarkov you put it in your actual body by grabbing it and draping it over yourself.

You don’t just control click items to put them into your backpack.

No, in Ghosts of Tabor you pull your backpack off of your back and manually put stuff in there. Oh, and those things in there collide. So you’re no longer concerned with how many slots a backpack has, but how physically big it is.

Get creative enough and you can fit a lot of things into a small space, it’s a skill of its own though.

You can fully customize your chest rig by putting pouches on it so that you can grab magazines and grenades wherever they are.

You have to physically grab them in VR, so personal preference is huge.

You get a holster for a pistol and a holster for a long gun like a rifle or SMG. If you want to hold a knife you’ll need to get a pouch on your chestrig for that.

Guns are heavily moddable just like in Escape From Tarkov too, and you’ll find and buy all sorts of attachments for them that you then physically slot on to the gun.

The entire gearing experience is way more personal and in depth since you’re doing it to your actual body instead of just clicking and dragging things on a screen.

You can even craft bullets with the right materials and your very own workbench (more crafting will come).

There’s insurance too, just like in Escape From Tarkov. You pay a portion of the item’s worth up front, and if you die but nobody takes your insured item out of the raid you get to keep it!

Since loot is all physical objects, any that you want to store you’ll need to put on special loot shelves that will save the item for later, just leaving stuff lying around your bunker will make it disappear.

You can also sell anything from assault rifles to spark plugs by putting them on the conveyor in the Trade Room and selecting which trader you want to sell it to.

Just like in Tarkov the progression isn’t only based off of what items you manage to hoard here in VR. The Traders give missions that give you reputation points when completed, as well as cash.

Selling a trader enough stuff and getting enough reputation with them means that you level them up and can buy even better equipment from them.

There’s a bazar that you go to through a menu option where you can browse each of the trader’s kiosks and buy items at your leasure by scanning them with a scan gun and checking out.

When you go back to your bunker you hit the “Receive” button on the screen in the Trader Room and your items spawn in on a rack.

While a little more time consuming than trading and gearing up in Escape From Tarkov, the very personal nature of doing all of these interactions with your actual hands makes it very satisfying to physically hold what you’ve acquired.

Not to mention looking at it. Guns and equipment all look very true to life and detailed, and even work just like their real life counterparts.

If you’ve ever played Into the Radius, then the looting, stashing, and gearing experience is very similar.

What Ghosts of Tabor VR Lacks

There are still a few things in Ghosts of Tabor that keep it from being the absolutely complete VR Tarkov experience is just a few things, and those are currently being worked on by the developers.

For instance, there are currently no Scav runs, which are raids that you can participate in as one of the mostly NPC FENIX members with a random assortment of equipment. You stand to gain by extracting with gear, and stand to lose nothing in a Scav raid.

Though there is a “rations” system which gives you some gear every 6 hours, day, and week so that you’ll always have a little something to go into raid with if you wait long enough.

Hopefully nobody ends up dead broke in Ghosts of Tabor due to the absence of the Scav mechanic.

Also there’s no base building or stash expansion to sink junk items and money into to improve your character, and no skills to level to get better over time. The only way your character improves is through personal skill and better equipment.

Lastly there are no in depth healing mechanics, only syringes heal your health pool at the moment. These are all things that are being worked on, and this article will be updated when they are added.

Potential Problems with Ghosts of Tabor

A lot of existing issues with Ghosts of Tabor at the time of writing will be resolved in time. There are bugs, like things disappearing through the ground, the magazine loader not working, mags not coming out of mag pouches, and so many more that will be fixed.

The mission system is also rudimentary, but the developers of Ghosts of Tabor do promise a series of missions to discover the secrets of Tabor and ultimately escape.

There will also be new features like more in depth healing mechanics and so much more.

The biggest existing problem is the sound. Sound is extremely important in an extraction shooter, and even while using headphones it can be really hard to hear which direction footsteps and actions are coming from.

Someone will open a backpack two rooms away and it will sound like it’s right next to you sometimes. For anyone well versed in extraction shooters like Escape From Tarkov, sound is an extremely vital part of the game that is currently not well implemented.

Still, it’s early in this game’s life and there are a ton of ways to improve.

It will likely only get better. For now if you jump into Ghosts of Tabor expect some bugs and some jank. That’s really the only downside,

Conclusions on VR Tarkov

Bringing the revolutionary extraction shooter gameplay of Escape From Tarkov to Virtual Reality is what Ghosts of Tabor does and it does it well.

It does this not only with the features and gameplay loop of Tarkov, but by also adding all of the things that makes VR Shooters great.

If you like VR and you like Tarkov then Ghosts of Tabor is a no brainer to get at 25$ for the base package, and it’s coming to every VR platform and HMD out there.
