Oh, and did we mention the gameplay is massively multiplayer? Navigating the next frontier has never felt so real and connected. Elite: Dangerous is a game best experienced online and in VR.
When we reviewed the original game , we loved the massive, detail-oriented open-world with intriguing side quests and that exalted soundtrack. Then Bethesda's legendary post-apocalyptic open-world game was given the VR treatment in , complete with full VR tracking and motion control shooting.
Fallout 4 in virtual reality is even more ambitious than the original, making it a must-play for anyone with an HTC Vive or Valve Index. Some were afraid that Half-Life: Alyx, one of Valve's first VR games and the first new entry in the series in over a decade, might not live up to the expectations. But, without a shadow of a doubt, this is a Half-Life game that fills the roomy shoes that Valve left behind in To say Half-Life: Alyx is simply a good VR game would be an understatement - it's comfortably one of the best.
It is, like its forebears, a mind-bending joyride with a physics system to die for. Alyx has got that in droves. This game is the perfect James Bond simulator, putting you into the shoes of a bonafide international superspy on a mission to take down a criminal organization no matter what convoluted traps stand in your way.
The traps can leave you feeling more like Austin powers than , but even when you fail the game is full of humor to keep you entertained. Assuming you know somebody generous enough to print the page manual, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is the new Mario Party, at least in the sense that it will make your friends hate you. While one player works to defuse a bomb, the others have to provide clear instructions on how to do so - but neither team can see what the other is looking at.
Demanding some intense cooperation from your peers, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a fun game with the right group of people, and it's even more enjoyable in VR. But by using the Link cable or Air Link, you can play these phenomenal space explorers on your Quest or Quest 2, too. These are by no means the first VR game to put you in space — a number of spaceship fighter sims have already attempted it — but the experience of floating through the environments by pushing yourself, grabbing and climbing, and pulling through zero-G spaces is completely unforgettable and the level of graphical detail is impressive.
Read our Lone Echo 2 review. Lucky's Tale is an intriguing little platformer. Think Mario 64 spliced with Crash Bandicoot, viewed with a third-person camera angle that you can manipulate by moving your head, and you'd be halfway there.
The VR element lets you peek at more of the level as you go along, which sounds gimmicky but actually introduces an exploration element as you tilt your head to reveal secrets in the level. It's official: the world's most popular block-'em-up is now on VR. We're not sure what excites us most about exploring Minecraft in VR — legging it from creepers in the dead of night or burrowing into the landscape like goggle-wearing, pickaxe-wielding mole-people. A bit of both, probably.
Quill, the heroine of this tale, may be pint-sized and literally have a tail , but Moss uses size to its advantage by giving players the perspective of its rodent protagonist. A family-friendly VR adventure, you'll guide Quill through forests and ruins, direct her past enemies and take direct control of environmental elements to solve puzzles.
The purpose is to save Quill's uncle, and by giving you dual control over a hero avatar and as an omnipotent influence on her surroundings, it's the perfect way to take advantage of the power of VR across a wide range of VR platforms. Traversing and discovering its generated worlds is already one epic adventure many gamers would gladly immerse in.
Pistol Whip is like Beat Saber but with guns instead of lightsabers. The base game is fantastic, but free campaign updates to all of its versions have introduced stories and levels set in a cyberpunk future and now also the Wild West. Pistol Whip is also great if you want to get a little bit more active. Platform: Oculus Quest 2. Resident Evil 4 VR is an incredible remake of the classic survival horror game for the Oculus Quest 2 platform. Thanks to the great array of comfort options available, this is a game that will leave you frightened instead of queasy.
It will be a long time before this technology is consumer-ready, but the future looks bright for haptics and HaptX in VR.
