A first-person shooter developed by id Software for VR headsets. The player is taken to a UAC facility which is overrun by demons, and assumes the role of a sole survivor of their attack. After death, the protagonist’s consciousness is transferred to a computer matrix which allows him to take control of the robots present on site. The task he has to perform is to annihilate all hellish creatures and stop an incoming catastrophe.
Doom VFR is a first-person shooter developed by id Software for VR headsets, which are required to play. The production came out for PC and PS4, among other platforms.
The action of Doom VFR takes place shortly after the demonic invasion of the UAC facility on Mars known from 2016’s Doom. The player assumes the role of the attack’s sole survivor – after death, his consciousness is transferred to a computer matrix which allows him to control nearby robots. The task he has to accomplish right after activation is to annihilate the hellish monsters and thus stop the incoming catastrophe.
In Doom VFR for PC and PS4, we observe the action from the first-person perspective (FPP). At the core of the gameplay is dynamic and brutal combat, during which we use an extensive and elaborate weapon arsenal that includes a machine gun, a gatling gun, and a shotgun. We face varied enemies on our way: from numerous and ordinary to powerful bosses.
The developers prepared a number of locations for the purposes of the game. These include both narrow, even claustrophobic, underground corridors as well as more spacious arenas. Similarly to other games of this type, the navigation isn’t smooth – the protagonist can teleport on small distances.
The three-dimensional graphics of Doom VFR for PC and PS4 are enjoyable, especially if we consider that it is a VR game. Richly detailed enemy models, environment, and visual effects during firefights are really impressive. The game’s original soundtrack also catches the ear.

However, over the years, developers such as Midway Games and Nerve Software have also been involved in its development. Although the series made its debut on PC, over time it was also released on consoles, as well as on mobile devices.

Game Ratings for Doom VFR Video Game.
Game Informer: 5 / 10 by Javy Gwaltney
Doom VFR is a short experience that has a couple of high points but mostly struggles to work as both a VR shooter and a Doom entry
TheSixthAxis: 9 / 10 by Dave Irwin
As a VR experience designed from the ground up for the technology, Doom VFR is probably the best example of this to date. There are some improvements to be made with the movement, but it is otherwise a fantastic bit of the ol' ultra violence that shouldn't be missed. Bethesda have definitely shown they understand the potential of VR, so hopefully we'll see more dedicated VR experiences in the future.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by Sammy Barker
Bethesda's really tried to make DOOM work in virtual reality, but despite supporting all three of PlayStation VR's control options, it doesn't really feel like the title was designed with any of them in mind. That said, if you can ignore the flaws with whichever peripheral you choose, then the over-the-top action of id Software's series transfers well, and this is arguably one of the better looking virtual reality titles to date. It's a little on the short side, but the price point reflects that, and the gunplay is still as intense as it's ever been.
