We found ourselves flicking between man-made structures one minute and circling around asteroids the next. Many of EVE Valkyrie's levels are made up of space stations and spacecraft graveyards that you'll need to navigate to reach your objective. You'll find yourself caught up in swift dogfights that leave you constantly turning and twirling to get the edge on your enemy or just try to shake someone off your tail to avoid being blown up. Which is especially surprising when you really get into some fierce space battles. We didn't suffer from such issues, as the game design seems to work smoothly and avoid problems with tracking and movement that might cause you to feel ill.

When you can turn your head to look around, but steer the ship with the controller, there's a worry of motion sickness (which is a common problem with VR games). So much so that we were disappointed when it ended and we resumed normal speed. This experience doesn't get old as being fired out into space at high-speed is quite a thrill in VR. Another ship has static guns that fire in front of the craft and thus require you to line up your targets.Д®ach multiplayer level begins with firing you out of a magnetic launch tube from your base ship and shooting you right into battle. One of the spacecraft includes flak cannons that track your eye movement, so you can shoot where you're looking rather than the direction the ship is pointing. Massive hulking cannons sit on either side of your craft and differ according to the ship you're flying. Interiors of your assigned ship contain various readouts for weaponry and mission parameters (such as the remaining health of enemy ships). you (sort of) - and while it's not possible to control their arms given the controller type, you will see the body shift realistically. From the seated view, look down and you'll see your pilot's body - i.e. Visually, we're impressed with the EVE experience. Nonetheless, it's a good starting immersion into the world. When you initially start the game, it feels like there might be a decent story to follow, but this falls flat after just a few levels. The single-player missions ease you into the world of Valkyrie - but don't really offer much in the way of substance. There are different ships too, with different abilities that you'll need to learn for each, then tactically choose for your style of play and the mission at hand. The tutorial makes it a breeze to get used to the controls of your ship and how it handles in terms of accelerating, braking, rolling and shooting your weapons. First stop is a short tutorial and a number of single-player missions which are essentially just a warm up - because, at the end of the day,В EVE Valkyrie is mainly a multiplayer game. Turns out this isn't an issue, though, as the back button on the Xbox controller resets your seating position.ДЄll set up, sat on the sofa, it's time to get into the game proper. However, on initial start up we didn't see any tutorial or setup for configuring your seating position and ended up having to half-stand, half-squat in order to fit into the correct position and actually be able to see out of the spacecraft's cockpit.

Secondly, the play area in Valykrie is seated - which is actually pretty refreshing for a VR title, plus it makes you feel more like a pilot ina spacecraft.

Also you also can't see or interact with non-VR controllers as easily in the VR universe as you can with the official controllers. This may be a gripe for many as it's an extra cost to play the game with VR system that no doubt already cost you a pretty penny.

First up, the game doesn't support the VR controllers of the Vive or Rift, so you need an Xbox 360 controller or other PC compatible gamepad. Before that, however, there are a few hurdles to get over when first getting started.
