Pros:
It's still Borderlands 2, which was a great game. They added a time slowing power, which is neat.

Cons:
The game has potential, but the teleportation movement is incredibly finicky, which makes moving through the large world incredibly difficult and frustrating. Plus there's an an unavoidable nausea issue with a baffling design decision they made. In an attempt to prevent you from moving through objects, they designed it so that if you are near a wall, and the real you in real life walks forward, the game shifts backwards so that your character in game stays in front of the wall and doesn't go inside of the wall. However, this is exactly the kind of thing that causes motion sickness in VR. And since the game world is far from smooth, it's not just caused by walking into walls. It is constantly happening in small ways against rocks, inclines, etc. throughout the environment. Combined with how finicky the teleportation is to begin with, this makes the game nearly unplayable.

Other than that, it's a very simple port. You reload with a button, use your powers with a button. Everything is a button, you don't really "do" anything other than aim your weapon, which manages to make this one of the least immersive VR games I've played. The UI is literally identical to the original, just kinda floating in front of your face. This would be fine if this were a free upgrade for owners of the original, or if it were a cheap $5-$10 game. But at $50, for a simple port of such an old game, it's not even close to worth the price.

At first I would say that the port is cheap version of the core gameplay from the game, some comments don't explicitly explain the problem with the game besides "can`t aim", so I'll list some of the ones that were noticed at the beginning.

1. Cannot hold weapons with 2 hands, it is glued with your left or right hand. (VR is about interaction and immersion, why make a VR port if you won't at least have people interacting with the guns).
2. The intros weren't made for VR, so they just put a black screen behind you and added a video in front of you as if you were watching a video.
3. Some commands are not very well thought out for VR and are strange at first, but easy to learn.
4. It is not possible to sprint.
5. HUD is very centralized at least for Oculus Quest 2, you can remove tho and just show your health, they should at least add a way to change HUD position.
6. No COOP.
7. The aim with the weapons it`is horrible, when the weapons has a custom sight, it creates a screen in front of you to `simulate` the aim.

But some things people didn't understand, it's Borderlands, each weapon has a different type of accuracy, as usual in Borderlands games, so IF you're playing this game don't expect to be precise with your shots using the sights or the crosshairs indicators, because it doesn't work like that.

I can't say the reason why they made a cheap port like this, but its playable, if they could fix the listed problems, it would at least fix most of the problems for me, if you really want to play Borderlands, buy when not in a full price. Kinda suprised that Gearbox made a cheap version like this, it had potential.

Add Multiplayer compatibility and cross platform and this game with make revenue again.

The idea of borderlands in VR is tempting enough for many to buy this game. DO NOT BUY THIS. It features probably the worst gun mechanics in VR ive seen in a game so far, the devs were just completely clueless as to how VR games should control. You can only one-hand weapons (even snipers, lmgs...), you have a crosshair like in a flat game and where you point the gun does NOT line up correctly with the crosshair, so if you turn it off your gun doesnt shoot where its supposed to. to increase your accuracy you need to hold the left trigger like in a regular flatscreen console shooter which feels extremely out of place. A game that is 95% about the gunplay is completely ruined by these terrible controls to the point where its not playable if youve ever played another vr game before. Payday 2 managed 100x better controls as a FREE DLC! Let that sink in and do not be tempted to buy this game, you WILL regret it!

Far from perfect, but it is still amazing. It's a relatively solid port and the guns look so cool in VR.

The intro is annoying to watch so I'd recommend you disable it.

Add "-nomoviestartup" (no quotes) to your launch options, then rename \steamapps\common\Borderlands 2 VR\WillowGame\Movies\MegaIntro.bik to something else.

and it skips the intro cutscene entirely

Also crosshairs are broken, so disable them.

I avoided this game since it came out and I saw all the negative reviews. Decided to take a chance on it because I've run out of things to play at the moment, and TWD: Onslaught turned out to be a turkey and I thought that fact basically ruined my October, lol.
I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by BL2 VR. Gearbox fixed a lot of issues with their patch earlier this year. I'm on an OG Vive with Index controllers, and the game runs fine and looks fine for me. I have graphics settings cranked up, supersampling at 120%, and the game looks great and runs great, no stutters, blur or other issues. The scale of everything looks good, and after adjusting the gun pitch angle in the settings menu, guns are good. Aiming (as has been mentioned elsewhere) depends a lot on your character's stats, so expect your accuracy to suck at first, but it improves as your character improves. I can live with that.
Movement is fine. I prefer smooth locomotion (I've had my VR legs for years now). I turn all the "comfort" training wheels off, and set movement speed as fast as the game will allow, and it's all good.
I will say though that if you find your movement speed seems crippled and you're using Index controllers like I am, then it's most likely your controller bindings. For the ones I initially tried, the grip buttons kept activating (because of controller sensitivity I guess, or my Man of Steel grip strength, lol) the what I believe is the ironsights toggle, which I guess slows your movement when "aiming" that way? Anyway, when I switched to bindings with no grip triggers (Kali's), the problem disappeared. Depending on what controllers you have, YMMV.
I'm only like 4 hours into the game, so this isn't a review of the game content--that's been done many times over, and we all know BL2 is a very popular game. My purpose here is to point out that the "mixed" reviews the VR version is getting are, I feel, somewhat unjustified at this point. The game looks fine, runs fine, controls fine (again, bindings), assuming you take a few minutes to set things up properly, and assuming you're using hardware that this game was actually made for.
I can already tell I'm going to get a lot of playtime out of this one, and at the moment with a serious lack of quality new titles on the horizon, I'm glad I finally gave this one a chance.

It's alright. I'm playing it on the Index and have had no controller issues what so ever. I can imagine it not being very fun with Vive Wands though, since you kinda need the thumb sticks.

Pros:
+ Runs great
+ Looks great
+ An actual full-length AAA game in VR
+ Pointing with your actual arms to shoot will always be more immersive (if less efficient) than playing with a mouse and keyboard.
+ Weapons wheel. Switching between weapons is actually quite easy. A system similar to how Half Life: Alyx or the Serious Sam games work is in place where you hold down a button and get a weapons wheel.
+ It's BL2. In fact, they've changed so little that the Gibbed save editor for the flatscreen version works on saves for this version. I used this to boost my character enough to be able to start a True Vault Hunter run immediately without having to run through standard mode first.

Cons:
-Menus. Holy hell, these menus are not suitable for VR. They are barely functional and similar to Skyrim in how bad they are. But unlike Skyrim you can't mod them out with something better.
- Driving. Driving was difficult enough on flatscreen, now imagine that but with about 10% of the field of view and even clunkier controls. If you need to get somewhere fast then vehicles are necessary, but I'm sure not looking forward to having to do vehicle combat.
- The cutscenes are just flat videos, so it's kind of jarring jumping out of the VR world to basically look at a screen in front of you. Ruins immersion, but I get why they did it. Still feels lazy though.
- The HUD isn't great. Somehow it's too in-your-face and not visible enough at the same time. The minimap is in the corner of your vision, forcing you to move your eyes uncomfortably to be able to see it. The same goes for the quest objectives, and the health/shield HUD is impossible to pay attention to during heated battle. However, you never forget that the HUD exists because you always see it in some fashion. There are options to turn the HUD off, but that causes other issues.
- Melee is pretty bad. It works but it's not fun. Personally this doesn't bother me as I've never seen the point of punching someone in a game where the selling point is the bazillions of guns, but if Kreig is your main then this might not be your cup of tea.

Intermediate:
~ Guns generally handle well, but you need to use aim mode to be able to hit anything. There are scopes but I found them difficult to use. Thankfully there's an option to disable the scopes and just use standard aim mode regardless of weapon scope. This will sort of hamper long range play though.
~ There are enough comfort and movement options in-game to cater to most players. Sure, it's not Boneworks or Serious Sam-levels of options, but they certainly blow the likes of Skyrim out of the water.
~ If you are prone to motion sickness then this should probably be a hard pass. The comfort options help, but let's be real here. When playing Borderlands you want to zip around, jump at (or away from) the enemies and take potshots while moving too fast for the enemy to hit. I personally can't imagine it being fun to teleport from one place to another so that you can stand in place and shoot enemies, but maybe that's just me.
~ No co-op. Unfortunate, but not a deal-breaker for me as I have no friends with a VR headset and I refuse to play with randoms.

With that said, I still think the positives outweigh the negatives. BL2 is a good game and putting it in VR has improved it in some ways while making it worse in others. Get it, but only get it if it's at least 50% off.

I am a long time fan of Borderlands franchise and I have put many hours in each of these games. Also I have owned couple of different VR sets over the past few years. I didn't have high expectations for this VR port, but I gave it a chance.
Now, it seems they did try to make this good, decent or at least bearable, but unfortunately it is not. My VR legs can hold quite nicely on pretty much any game, and I never really had any issues, but this one just feels like a fever dream. 10 minutes in to the game, my stomach was turning, palms were sweating and my eyes had hard time adjusting. I was tweaking the comfort options of course, but they didn't fix everything, there is just a lot fundamentally wrong with how the world feels around you. Also it doesn't natively support index controllers, so you see vive wands all the time, and the place where your hands seem to be is way off, and its strange to aim at anything.

I'd love to play this game, and say that it's good, but it's not, and I cannot recommend it. Also 50€ price tag is pretty insane. Hard pass for me.

I'm still bitter they took away Co-Op in favor of bullet time. Let's be honest Co-Op with this franchise is what made it so great and replayable. Whoever made the decision to cut the best part of this older game in transitioning it to VR should not be allowed to make decisions for any gaming company.

This is probably my most controversial review... I recommend this game for VR players.

This game has received a lot of negative reviews, the main criticism is that it is a cash grab by doing a half-assed VR port.

While the VR port is definitely a bit rough around the edges, after I fine-tuned my comfort settings after a few hours of play, it was a totally comfortable experience and I will definitely get a lot of hours out of this game.

One of the best selling points of this game is:
+ it is a full-length VR game

I was surprised, actually, at how many "comfort" options were provided in the VR port. When I first started playing it, it was a bit rough, but soon enough I had customized to my desired settings and was just simply playing Borderlands 2 in VR.

Bottom Line:
-----------------

I held off buying this game for so long because of the mixed reviews, and the price tag, but the truth is, it's totally playable after you customize your settings, and you will get plenty of hours out of it. As long as you keep in mind that this is a port, and not originally built for VR, then you're golden. I would have bought this sooner if the reviews hadn't scared me off. If I could build my own top seller VR page, this game would be on it.
