Played on HTC Vive Pro/Vive controllers/RTX2060Super..

It's a great and interesting tour and as a educational tool it is also great. Everything looks great, the voiceover is also well done. Never having visited the original, and probably never will, this is a unique way of visiting the Sistine chapel.

Now for the downside:
-As a VR experience it lacks some thing, it doesn't start in VR, you first have to select on your monitor with a mouse you want the tour, which ofcourse is annoying if you start it from home and you're waiting for something to happen, you hear music but home seems to still show 'next up'..
-Would have been nice if you could really get up close to everything and even tilt so you don't have to strain your neck too much. (So the actual modern lift they have ingame should have gotten much closer to everything, also not only in the second half of the chappel.
-Would have been nice if you could have teleported around the wooden scaffold too.
-There is no way to pause the long dialogs and in some cases you can't skip it either (I got a phonecall during the guided tour, so I had to start the whole guided tour again).

BUT even for those minor point (which are easily fixed), I recommend this experience to everybody as it's very VERY well done, and hope we'll get even more virtual tours like this of many other locations..
And as it's free, there's no reason not to experience this fine tour.
