Virtual Reality Games

It will be safe to say that in the next 5 years, virtual reality games will come at par with mobile gaming. In another 10 years, the VR games will push mobile gaming to the margins, just the way mobile gaming did the same to desktop gaming. With the push from Metaverse, the whole Virtual Reality industry has got a big boost and virtual reality gaming stands to be the biggest beneficiary.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission

Platform: PlayStation VR

Astro Bot Rescue Mission is an exciting game that offers 20 different main levels and 26 challenge levels that keep you entertained for a very long time. The mission of the game is to rescue the various members of your crew, which is scattered across space. It features 360-degree worlds and offers different weapons, including throwing stars, a water gun, and a hook shot. At first, the game might look childish but it is packed with action and keeps you engaged for a long time with its unique levels.

Blade and Sorcery

Platforms: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Rift S, Valve Index, Windows Mixed Reality

Blade and Sorcery is a fun and entertaining game wherein players play as magic-toting psychopaths who are capable of wielding a robust selection of weapons to murder any warrior who comes their way. The action of the game is very impressive. If you are an Assassin’s Creed fan or love Blade 2, you are surely going to like this one.

Elite: Dangerous

Platforms: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Valve Index, Windows Mixed Reality

Elite: Dangerous is a bit complicated and you will have to dedicate a few hours to learning and failing, however, it is rewarding and engrossing at the same time. The goal of the game is to mine asteroids for resources in a spaceship and collect bounties. It isn’t a game for everyone but once mastered is one of the best virtual reality games you can play.

Beat Saber

Platforms: HTC Vive; Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift and Rift S; PlayStation VR; Valve Index; Windows Mixed Reality

Beat Saber is a blend of music and rhythm with a twist. The entire setup is similar to other music games, such as Audiosurf, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band. The twist is that instead of controlling a virtual ship or using fake instruments, players slash their way through a song with virtual laser swords. If you love music and games, then this game is made just for you. If you like action then this game might not be for you, however, if your heart loves rhythms and beats.

Farpoint

Platform: PlayStation VR

Farpoint is the first game to use the PS VR Aim. It is a gun-shaped controller designed for first-person shooters which are capable of tracking player movements on a 1:1 scale. This game aims to survive enemy encounters in an alien environment to discover what happened to the rest of your research team. From my experience, I can say that Farpoint is one of the best virtual reality games you can play.

Half-Life: Alyx

Platforms: HTC Vive; Oculus Quest; Oculus Rift and Rift S; Valve Index; Windows Mixed Reality

Half-Life: Alyx is the next sequel of the Half-Life game where players can play the character Alyx Vance. During the entire course of 11 hours, players can take on enemy combined forces and seek to advance research on their weaknesses.
