About Prison Simulator VR
Don't miss your chance to become a herald of the law or a corrupted mole in cahoots with the prisoners, all from the comfort of your own home! Step into the world of Prison Simulator VR to assume the role of a prison guard, managing the complex inner workings behind bars and uncovering secrets of this cutthroat world. Respect is a gain given only to those with a strong hand, but what kind of a guard you'll be depends only on you!
In Prison Simulator VR, you become the master of your own experience. There's a freedom in what you do, regardless if it is to be a vigilant watchman of order or turn a blind eye to the prisoners' nefarious deals.
With a wide variety of different tasks, search prison cells, confiscate illegal items, interact with the seemingly bleak prison environment and its tenants, instilling fear or gaining respect - your choices matter! Each and every character will react to the things you do, but whether you end up with more friends or enemies is entirely up to you.
Watch out! You never know what might happen if you push them a little too hard!
On top of it all, Prison Simulator VR has two modes available, depending on your preference. You can explore the story mode, following thrilling clues and twists as you uncover what lurks within. For players who prefer a gameplay with less restraints, freeplay mode is a perfect way to live the every day life of a guard without the constraints of a plot.

If you enjoy novelty VR Sims this should satisfy most of your desires. This is fun and im surprised how deep the gameplay and RPG mechanics are. Im late to the party and realized this is a VR adaption of the original game but im so thankful to have not only discovered this but that the devs decided to make it into a VR experience. 10/10 for me.5 found this helpful
I have had a good time with this for many hours on standalone Quest and PC VR. PC VR runs smoother all round and has slightly better textures, LOD and Draw distance. I have found the game to be very well optimised so you can put the supersampling through the roof depending on what headset and graphics card you are using. If you find the fastest smooth turn slightly too slow for your liking you can edit the option file in the AppData LocalLow PlayWay folder. I knocked mine up to 220 which is nice and fast like what I have it set in other Unity Engine VR games. Perhaps the developer will add some more options in the settings menu. This lengthy game surprised me with the amount of depth it has. The prison is a full size prison including outside yard, exercise apparatus such as dumbbells, pullup bar, basketball court, guard towers, showers (don't drop the soap), canteen (including kitchens) workshop, Solitary Confinement and Death Row with electric chair. You unlock more areas and jobs as you progress. Lots of NPC's walking about, many different looking characters, they must use some type of randomized character system as I have not seen any exact doppelgangers and when I restarte…2 found this helpful

This was absolutely horrible1 found this helpful
Surprisingly, I have really been enjoying this game. I've never played the flat screen version, so I have nothing to compare it to. Due to the price, my expectations were abysmally low but I've anticipated this release for so long that I just had to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. The prison is quite large and feels complete. Each day that passes feels different from the previous day as new tasks unlock. It's a bit janky sometimes, though. For example, while walking, my left controller keeps vibrating as if I'm bumping something but I have no idea what it is. The backpack feels tedious to use, because there is no easy way to return items to it when both hands are full. Yes, I know that the backpack can be anchored, but that sometimes causes it to disappear to the point where I can no longer pull it out again. Performance is good when I first open the game, but gradually gets worse as time goes on. Smooth rotation is a bit slow, so it makes me nauseous during longer play sessions. Overall, I'm having fun with the gameplay and I think the developers could charge a bit more for this game after a few QOL improvements and bug fixes.
