My top 10 VR games! All platforms
Hey All, I made a video going over my top 10. I'll link it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syn27yH6-F0
But I'll also write it out below in case you don't give a shit about watching videos.
10. Wanderer My 2022 Game of the Year. A mind-bending time-travel adventure packed with stunning visuals, creative puzzles, and a Forrest Gump-like way of weaving history into a gripping sci-fi story. With Fragments of Fate dropping soon, I couldn’t be more excited. I think its gonna kick ass and fix the combat problems this one suffered from.
9. Pistol Whip One of my first VR purchases, and I’m still playing it years later. This is rhythm-shooter perfection—bullet-hell action synced to music in a way only VR can pull off. With endless content, mods, and a gameplay loop that never gets old, it’s easily the best rhythm game in VR.
8. Phasmophobia Clunky VR implementation? Sure. But damn, I love this game. The ultimate blend of horror and teamwork, where terror fuels your desire to gather evidence. Phasmo nails immersion even with the jank. Stuff like the ghost whispering back through a spirit box or using the Ouji board. Its just the pulse-pounding and damn good fun. It's been my most-played VR game for two years, and I still can’t get enough.
7. Vertigo 2 Pure VR brilliance. This wacky, Half-Life-esque shooter is bursting with creativity—branching paths, wild weapons, and some of the most unique mechanics in VR. A 10-12 hour campaign packed with secrets, insane boss fights, and an addictive upgrade system. And with Into the Aether DLC dropping soon, I’m more than ready for another trip into madness.
6. Batman: Arkham Shadow Last year’s Game of the Year for me. This isn’t just a great VR game—it’s a full-fledged, polished experience. The melee combat is unmatched, the story is gripping, and it proves the Quest can deliver AAA-quality games. You don’t just play as Batman—you become Batman.
5. Dirt Rally 2.0 Hundreds of hours in, and it’s still the most immersive game I’ve played. The physics, the feedback, the thrill of sliding around a corner at breakneck speeds—it’s unmatched. This game even helped me diagnose a low tire pressure IRL. Pair it with a direct-drive wheel, and it’s as close as you can get to rally racing without totaling your car.
4. Walkabout Mini Golf The best mini-golf experience. Period. Walkabout captures real-life mini-golf but removes the downsides—no waiting, no bad angles, just pure fun in impossible, dreamlike courses. The physics are flawless, the DLC is a steal, and it’s the ultimate chill VR game. I own it on every platform, and I regret nothing.
3. Demeo A perfect marriage of board gaming and VR. Strategic, challenging, and endlessly replayable, with five massive campaigns and deep team synergy. Every session feels fresh, and I’ve poured 200+ hours into it. But with BattleMarked on the horizon, my Demeo days might be numbered—because that sequel looks insane.
2. Resident Evil Village The game that turned me into a horror junkie. I avoided horror games my whole life—until this. It’s pure survival horror, where every bullet matters, and every corner hides something terrifying. The boss fights, the tension, the sheer production quality—this is what VR horror should be.
1. Half-Life: Alyx Still the king. The smoothest, most polished VR experience ever made. The Half-Life series is why I bought a headset, and Alyx delivered. But what keeps it at the top? The mods. Return to Rapture, Levitation, Gunman Contracts—mods so good, they rival full games. If you haven’t dived into the Workshop, you’re missing out.
