Oculus Audio Audio is essential for delivering immersive virtual reality. Developer Sessions We have a whole day of developer sessions lined up from the Oculus team and some of the brightest minds in the industry. Thanks again for making this possible. QUEST 2. Quest 2. Rift S. Compare Headset. VR for Good. Download SDKs. With a pair of motion controllers, swinging a Japanese katana to slice and stab scores of juicy, helpless fruit is a real treat. It's peaceful, relaxing and violent all at the same time.
It's a highly addictive game where you shoot waves of flying robots with twin laser pistols that transform into shotguns, grenade launches and gauss rifles at the push of a button, while using your actual body to dodge enemy laser beams.
Pavlov VR, too, is an unfinished team-based shooter where you have to realistically reload your weapons and aim. But where Onward is hyper-focused on realistic 5 vs. While the basic game is a riff on Counter-Strike you buy weapons each round with money you earn, go defuse bombs and things like that , I also joined servers that threw me into hilarious non-stop deathmatches and even custom maps. GoldenEye in VR?
Yes please. Video here. You literally punch your way through incoming beats of music -- any music of your choice. What's on your hard drive? We'd recommend something thumpin' for the best workout. Beat Saber has overtaken Audioshield since its release, but it's still worth playing. There's no describing the majesty that is Rez Infinite. Now, the Tron-like environments are all around you. It's like flying through neon code. Note: Don't buy the version for Google Daydream right now; there's a huge issue with the game's audio last time we checked.
Despite losing a lot of graphical fidelity when you plug in a VR headset, the game is almost too atmospheric, too scary , because the horror is all around you. You literally can't look away. Just know you may need a strong stomach as well -- while the game is much improved since its E3 demo , it still made me a bit queasy. Immersive, frenetic and tough as nails, Battlezone isn't just a remake of the old-school arcade shooting game. There's strategy, too, as you pick your path through procedurally generated campaign maps, save up credits for more powerful weapons and coordinate hover tank assaults with up to three friends in online co-op multiplayer.
What you can't see in this picture: VR gives you awesome peripheral vision to let you pick off targets instead of getting blindsided. With or without VR, Superhot has a brilliant conceit: Time only moves when you move.
Which means you can be utterly surrounded by enemies bristling with machine guns or ones ready to slice you into pieces, and still defeat them all by -- oh so slowly -- brushing their weapons aside, dodging bullets, throwing pots and pans, etc. Every level plays like a puzzle as much as a shooter, and you come out looking like an action hero every time. VR just means you do it all with your own hands and head, and you feel that much closer to Superhot's plot -- which I won't spoil here.
You're a gladiator in the arena, and it's time to bash in some skulls -- with a zany array of seemingly spring-loaded weapons you actually swing with your own two hands. Gorn is a bloody mess in more ways than one it's a Steam Early Access title that's still rough around the edges , but it's definitely fun The new local multiplayer mode your friends can control the enemy gladiators by firing up an Xbox gamepad is an added bonus.
Just don't break your TV when you're swinging those controllers around. The second must-play game about shooting waves of enemy robots, Robo Recall is fantastic fun. You're a bit like Neo in The Matrix -- you'll teleport into a group of robots, slow down time, pick their bullets out of the air and throw them back. You can also juggle robots with blasts from your own twin pistols, grab their weapons away and even rip off their limbs then beat baddies down with 'em.
It's not a very deep or long game, but figuring out ways to increasingly stylishly dispatch your foes and compete for high scores keeps me coming back. Plus, Epic's opened up the game to modders. Fans have already added a lightsaber. Whimsical and artistic, this simple but immersive puzzle game from the creators of Monument Valley is a must-play for Samsung Gear VR owners -- if you ask me. This video will give you the basic idea. It's a completely free-to-play for now online multiplayer lounge, dressed up like a school gymnasium, filled with sport games to play.
Even just juggling in front of peers is amusing, but the teleportation-filled paintball game is the real entree. Not all VR games need to teleport you to a jaw-droppingly immersive all-around-you space.
Instead, Witchblood draws its inspiration from classics like Castlevania and Prince of Persia for its side-scrolling adventure. Your young witch hops from platform to platform, collecting the necessary spells she needs to reach the next area and defeat her foes. The VR just lends a neat diorama-like feel to the art, and makes it that much easier to time her jumps.
Captain a Federation starship with three of my friends no matter which headset they own? Yes, please. You'll plot in a course, raise shields, engage enemies and teleport helpless lifeforms on board, communicating with teammates all the while -- or shouting voice commands to IBM's Watson supercomputer when your friends can't make it. There's not a lot of depth to the game, and the missions aren't brilliantly scripted, but it can still be loads of fun -- particularly if, like my colleague Ashley Esqueda suggests, you tell yourself a little lie like "I don't trust Vulcans" to enhance your roleplay.
Update, Dec. Even easier to pull your friends in now. Two scientists opened a wormhole to another galaxy, and you followed them through. Now, you're blasting away at hostile aliens and robots while investigating their mysterious disappearance.
That and some high production values are cool, but the PS VR Aim Controller is what makes it fun: A peripheral that maps so precisely to the in-game guns that precisely blasting away scary space spiders feels downright natural. You're an eagle, flying through an artistic recreation of Paris in a gigantic aerial game of capture-the-flag -- only the flag is a rabbit that you're fighting over with other groups of eagles as you swoop and soar at incredible speed. There's a short single-player campaign in this game , too, but online multiplayer is the draw.
One of the very best VR games only requires one person to wear a headset. In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes , one player is in a tiny room, faced with a fiendish bomb to defuse. Everyone else has the hilariously complex bomb defusal manual, and both sides have to describe the bomb, and the instructions, before it explodes.
A perfect party game. The Unspoken describes itself as "an urban magic fight club," and that sounds about right: you pick one of five different wizard archetypes the Electromancer was just introduced this June and fling spells, erect shields and hammer down with deadly ancient artifacts in one-on-one player vs.
It's stylish and immersive, but it can be hard to find players in online-only Oculus Rift exclusive titles like this one. Perhaps the recent price cut will help. While the graphics aren't as flashy, they're quite nice for a mobile title, and the game's a bit more tactical: Victory is more about choosing the right combination of spells to trap your opponent than about aiming them well.
Again, it can be a little hard to find a match, but perhaps me calling it one of the best VR games might help. Speaking of excellent multiplayer VR games where it's tough to find an online match, Dead and Buried is very high on my list. It's a Wild West showdown with all the trimmings, with revolvers, shotguns, lever-action rifles, dynamite and more in two-on-two saloon shootouts, train robberies and straight-up quick-draw duels.

We can be clever about how we combine the tools around us to complete these tasks, or we can just throw things around. Either way, this is a terrific VR game that doubles up as delightful, light-hearted satire on the evils of modern capitalism. Read More: Best Board Games.
Zombies have been an integral part of video game culture for a long time. Players are taken to a gorgeous post-apocalyptic desert town where the weapons are notoriously, but realistically, inaccurate, and the flesh-eating enemies, persistent.
The emphasis is placed squarely on action and players will have a blast playing this. The game is a must-buy not just for fans of the famous science fiction show, but for those willing to try out a genuinely great cooperative experience. Read More: Best Online Movies. There were a few bugs at launch, but the open world ensures players will never have enough of exploring the world as if they are right in it. Its also a full-length game, meaning that players will keep coming back to it, unlike most other VR games.
However, a few things change once this is played in VR. Because what is loses in graphical textures, it more than makes up for it through its absolutely scary and terrifying atmosphere. Ever wondered how it would feel to have a lightsaber in your hands and create pulsating music as you swish it around?
