Top 10 VR Games You Must Play Now
If you are new to VR or just want to try something different, then look no further! Therefore, we have compiled a lineup of the best VR games to blow your mind.
The guide covers everything from a seasoned virtual reality maestro to a gamer looking into their first headset. Let’s dive in, shall we?
1. Half-Life: Alyx
First, we shall start with the big one. You know, if you own a VR headset and still have not played Half-Life: Alyx (what are you doing?) full-length VR titles like this are however rare.
This was the game that showcased what VR is capable of to the masses. With some eye candy, the gameplay and experience of the story itself brings you to your feet either in awe or astonishment.
It gives you a sense of determination like nothing else, trust me you will feel like an absolute ninja with that crowbar. Oh, and you can throw stuff at enemies as well, because who does not like throwing shit?
2. Resident Evil 4 VR
Do you recall the old school days when Resident Evil 4 first entered our consoles and we panicked with each single encounter?
That said, Resident Evil 4 VR takes that and pumps it full of adrenaline. Armed with your PlayStation VR headset (or any VR headset, really) you will feel fully present in a village overrun by zombies.
Yes, you will finally be able to observe those creepy villagers. Yikes!
3. Beat Saber
If playing a Jedi was on your wish-list, then Beat Saber has you covered. Dancing to rad music while chopping neon blocks is not only a good time, but also exercise. Slashing through beats like a fucking pro?
There are also fresh tracks you can download whenever, so there is no chance you have to be unimpressed.
Tip: You want to do it in your newest white T—you have a new exercise “look” after the game!
4. Superhot VR
Superhot VR is a trip; it turns time to sludge. Breathe in, breathe out: just like the Matrix, but without battling agents; instead, you’re dodging bullets. The catch? Time only advances when you progress.
Still, if you don’t move it is effectively a fat guy dream. But don’t get so cocky – one misstep and you’re eating a face full of enemy lead.
5. No Man’s Sky VR
Space. The final frontier. No Man’s Sky VR is the first to take on worlds this big, and alien. You are in outer space with planets revolving around you.
Experience mining, building, and a bit of battling against hostile aliens. Kind of like a futuristic cowboy in space and yes, you will get lost 20 minutes in.
But hey, it’s space! At least once you will get lost there.
6. Walkabout Mini Golf
And, what more relaxing place to be than while playing a round of golf. A round of golf in VR – easy enough to do and Walkabout Mini Golf has nailed it.
When your courses are in pirate ships and haunted houses, it’s basically playing mini-golf at a theme park.
Extra points if after a bad shot you don’t hit your VR controller throwing it in frustration. It is a sport, but make it virtual, and, we would say fun?
7. Wands Alliances
If setting spells against other wizards sounds like a good time to you, Wands Alliances will be there for you.
The game combines magic and fighting in a way that will allow you to realize your Harry Potter fanfic dreams.
Grab your wand, assemble your party, and get ready for some witchcraft! Perk: No owls delivering you the mail..
8. Thumper
Apparently rhythm games with beating enemies are now extreme as hell. Thumper is the VR rhythm game you never knew YOU NEEDED.
When the beat starts pounding and each new visual hits your eyes (so good, you definitely won’t be getting any migraines), you’ll be fused to the VR headset for hours.
It raises to, like, a level of coolness past the percussion set. Oh yeah, it can get very heated, and if you begin sweating as if this is an exercise class, take a breather.
9. Astro Bot Rescue Mission
Dust away those 3D platforming shoes, because Astro Bot Rescue Mission is here.
You are not in control of Astro Bot, you are literally directing him along the game world, peering around corners and making sure he is not falling off a ledge.
Imagine it — a giant in this tiny little fucking world — and we know how much more fun that is than you think.
10. I Expect You to Die 2
If you ever dreamed of being a spy: Take I Expect You to Die 2, which helps you fulfill your superspy dreams — without the very real threat of explosions.
You will be solving puzzles, avoiding lasers and defeating bad guys with all of the cool gadgets that you can dream of.
Kind of like James Bond combined with Escape Room. But do you want to know the best? You won’t even break a sweat.
Conclusion
These are the 10 must-play VR games for you gents. Whether you want to kick back with friends and play some virtual golf in Walkabout Mini Golf or shoot zombies endlessly until you get tired of doing so, there is plenty here to fill your every rotten VR desire.
Get that VR headset warmed up, hop in and be prepared to lose all sense of time (ok you will). Happy gaming!
