HTC Vive review

Don't just play games; touch them, be surrounded by them, live them. That's the promise that only Vive currently fulfils

Room-scale is the best kind of VR ; Motion controllers make you feel even more immersed ; Steam support means it’s easier to get games

Heavier, less secure on your bonce than Oculus Rift ; Fiddly firmware and a mess of cables ; Currently lacking fully formed games

It asks more of you than Oculus does, but Vive also rewards you with an even more immersive, transformative VR experience

HTC Vive Review: The Cost of True VR Freedom

The HTC Vive delivers an unrivaled virtual-reality experience with crisp graphics, accurate room tracking and intuitive touch-enabled controllers, but you'll need lots of space.

Room-tracking technology is eerily accurate ; Smooth graphics with little latency ; Touch controllers are easy to use and highly adaptable ; Large library of games

Requires a lot of space and electrical outlets to use ; No built-in audio ; SteamVR Interface can be difficult to navigate

Overall, the HTC Vive offers the most comprehensive and immersive virtual-reality experience yet in terms of sight, sound and movement.
