Yes, but it is also very different. I have a VR headset and use it every now and then. But compared to "normal" gaming it is quite different.
When playing a non-VR game you can just minimize the game and check stuff between rounds/matches/when you pause/etc. With VR I feel like you have to be there all the time, and the headsets are still heavy so you can't play as long. Not to mention you are usually standing.
I like VR and think it will be good eventually, but it is not there yet. It is 100% playable as it is, but the overall tech is not quite there yet.
VR is totally "there" for those who want to use it, and it does take a little more effort than plopping into a chair and clicking a mouse. But that's life - you get more out of things you put more effort into.
