• outer wilds vr (modded but with motion controller support)
• vertigo remastered
• blade and sorcery
• stormland
• sweet surrender

Me too, still really enjoying it. I do wish it had just a little more content but I'm only saying that 50+ hours in which is better than many VR games manage. The base mechanics and concept are so great and there's plenty of variety in the weapons/builds, I just wish there were a couple more enemy types or some kind of endless/endurance mode.

Stormlands was one of the games that convinced me to dive in. That and Hotdogs, Horseshoes, and Hands Grenades (H3VR). Too bad the end game for stormland is so-so. But h3vr gets consistent updates from the dev team and still going for 5 years. They even have “story” modes like return of the rotwieners and a coliseum among many other event type and trial type stuff. It’s a sandbox by nature but there is soooo much extra stuff in there. Plus the most variety of locomotion options, even a proprietary one called “arm swinger” that lets you act like your running with your arms and is supposed to be more natural. I use oculus so twin stick is preferable but if you use vive controllers the armswinger was designed around them. I suggest EVERYONE that likes playing around with guns get h3vr

Google earth vr is free but its a great experience, i cant recommend it enough

I’ve played through this so many times on so many headsets. Never gets old.

Fun aside, I was in a huge 33x33ft play space to try Space Pirate Trainer Arena and then tried SuperHot. It totally breaks the game to be able to just walk all over, but so much fun literally running circles around the enemies using unintended cover and strategies.

Walkabout mini golf - essential. Great fun and beginner friendly.

Yupitergrad is also a fun short game but not essential.

As the levels progress you'll be fighting multiple enemies at once. The most manic times are when you get surrounded.

The gameplay loop is basically: Clear the room of enemies (3 to 10 baddies), pick an upgrade, enter new room, repeat for 30 levels with a boss encounter once every 10 levels. It's a roguelite so you'll get a different set of upgrades to choose from each run, but also earn currency which can be spent on unlocking/upgrading weapons for all future runs.

ITR has the best feeling guns in VR I've experienced so far. I know people say H3VR and whatever else but ITR is my preference.

Sometimes I wish there was another game with the same level of gun fun but not as dreary as ITR. I can't always mentally prepare myself to delve into the highly stressful situations it presents lol

For me it's Lone Echo. Pulling yourself around in Zero G with the ability to use micro thrusters for fine control. It's just really intuitive, deals with motion sickness perfectly, and isn't too complicated with zillions of extra buttons to remember.

VTOL VR, I love flicking switches

Really? You hate floating hands? For me there is barely anything worse than seeing a virtual body that is not perfectly in sync with my real one. A week ago i've complleted Alyx for the first time and it was awesome. I think i would rate it the second best experience after Vivecraft

Half life Alyx has 2 features I'd love to see implemented all across VR.

their jump mechanic was simple, efficient, and never jank. And those Russel's... if you know you know...

I wish more games used it because most VR controllers have very few buttons and getting that additional input that's used up by sprinting would be useful

Agreed, but I quit it because it was so stressful. Absolutely adore the gunplay though, I wish I had a friend to play ITR2 with.

It's a must have game for anyone playing VR! It's very linear and repetitive, but you will sink hours into it!

I noticed you put Crisis VRigade in the free category, but that game costs $10?

I recreated this list in a google sheet for easier readability. I also added a formula that spits out a link to steam so people can look at screenshots and stuff.

Here's the link

A Township Tale is also fairly fun. It's still pre-alpha, but IMO holds up. Also free.

Why do people keep saying Half-life: Alyx is a billion dollar tech demo? It looks genuinely good and seems like it's going to be a full story game. Am I missing something?

This is a super useful list, thank you!

I’m tempted to put VRChat here but just be weary of it. There are tons of really cool user created worlds to explore and mess with and it’s all free but the general player base can be either really cool or incredibly toxic.

• aircar (it's free)

• A Fisherman's Tale

• Jet Island

• Megaton Rainfall

• Moss

• Outer Wilds (through an awesome mod)

• Pavlov VR

• Superhot VR

• Until You Fall

• Vertigo Remastered

• Vox Machinae

Yep pretty much. I just bounce between VRChat, Pavlov, Beat Saber while waiting for the higher quality games like Alyx.

Moss, pcars 2, alyx, superhot.

Portal Story’s: VR for portal games

In general? Half-Life Alex

P2VR mod ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

never heard of the 3rd one

I've played The Lab. It's good for a VR tech demo thingie

What are the "other top three VR games"?

The vr mod for minecraft is pretty good, you’ll never experience so much joy, nostalgia and fear in such a short time span

Moss! It makes me sad that I never see it mentioned in threads like these. It's an unconventional one. You're not the protagonist; you're a benevolent force of nature of sorts, observing and manipulating the environment like a little diorama while you control the protagonist (a cute little mouse) through it all with the joystick/control pad. She communicates hints to you with gestures and sign language, it's really charming and fun. A little short, but they added a small free expansion and I believe there's a sequel on the way.

Elite:Dangerous. It has a steep learning curve but could take over a big chunk of your life

This. Hot dogs, horseshoes, and hands grenades is a fantastic gun simulator. They're also in the process of adding TF2 weapons!

I really thought I’d like this game and really wanted to, but it just didn’t give me that spark. It’s definitely a good game tho, might check out ITR2 when it releases

I absolutely loved the game-play and resource management and was ready to name it one of my top games, but was disappointed with how thin the story line ended up being. It made it feel fetch-questy. There was so much potential in the build up but it fell into a lazy trope :(

I like it so much that I bought a haptics vest and sleeves pretty much just for this game. Every time I see the "Happiness for all..." quote at the beginning, I'm reminded of one of my favorite books, Roadside Picnic.

For your tastes, sure. I played a few hours of it and did not care for it at all, definitely not the most fun game for me.

Anyone have updates on how itr2 is coming along? I’ve been waiting for it to get proper release but will jump on it if it’s gotten the bugs worked out 

Same, downloaded and played several hours, then deleted it. Did that process again. The third time I tried it, it stuck and I couldn't get enough of it. I've put 12 hours into itr2 and can't wait for the full release

Firewatch and Outer wilds mods. Genuinely 2 most polished VR experiences I had.

I played most mainstream games. I really liked Boneworks, Blade and sorcery and Onward (PC before the fucked up and made it quest compatible). But the only two i keep coming back to and personally think are the single best in their niche are

VTOL VR

Amazingly fun arcade-ish flight Sim. Build from the ground up for VR interactions. Flip switches, adjust dials, press buttons. No joystick necessary. Only motion controllers. Extremely dedicated community continuously pumping out maps, missions, skins and mods. Basically endless replayability.

And

Into the Radius

Basically stalker vr. Set in a world where a mysterious entity covered a large area in a thick fog and plays with natural laws inside the zone. You must explore, fight, and survive there. Hands down the best survival mechanics in VR. You have to eat your food by sticking a knive in a can, load each individual bullet into your magazines and even maintain and clean your weapons.

BeamNG has VR support? I may need to get that, then. I've been interested in getting a VR game that would let me casually drive through a big ol' map, and I know BeamNG has some big ones from modders

I know I've heard really good things about it. I'm not into mainstream VR games like beatsaber or gorilla tag so I was weary of HLA at first. But it's on my backlog of games.

Totally agree and at launch I wasn't blown away by hl2. Very few bosses and weapons and I got sick of vehicle sections long before they were over but in vr it blew me away And the vehicle sections were the most fun.

Here’s mine — I’m way more into casual, chill VR experiences these days, so this list leans into that:

1. Mixology XR — hands down the most unexpectedly fun, immersive experience I’ve had. Feels like part-game, part-skill-building, and I’ve actually learned real cocktail recipes while vibing out in VR.
2. Walkabout Mini Golf — perfect for relaxing solo or with friends.
3. Eleven Table Tennis — simple, but endlessly satisfying.
4. Fitness Fables — turns working out into a fun little adventure.
5. Real VR Fishing — super calming and way more addictive than expected.

Glad you put wanderer in that list, not a lot people talk about it and I couldn't believe some stuff that were happening in that game. The whole time travel is just amazing concept.

I think MSFS is the big one that should be on any top 10 list for VR. Also, Skyrim, FO4, Beat Saber. Well, there's a reason why these lists are subjective. It would be difficult for me to name the top 10. I'm partial to Hellblade Senua and would have a hard time not having it on a top 10 list and same thing with Alien Isolation (PCVR mod) and HL2 (VR mod). I liked RE 7 more than RE 8, but I could see the distinction since RE8 had an official VR port on PSVR2 and RE7 only has PSVR and PCVR mod. I would also put Green Hell and Grimlord up there in my top 10 and I'm sure lots of people would fight me on those two being included.

No Beat Saber?

Did you play:
Asgard's Wrath 2
Moss
Red Matter

I don't see its in your list
