This is partly due to its cordless, wireless nature - we still love the ability to throw it in a bag, toss it to a friend or family member, and get right back into the action without being afraid to plug in a gaming pc or fickle sensors. . Of course, no gaming system will gain traction without, well, great games.

Oculus Quest games on our radar: Go ahead.
Moving forward, a tactical Mil-Sim (or military sim) that has gained a dedicated customer base on the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift (and now the Rift S) is a highly anticipated port for the Quest. This is a shooter that practically requires to be played in combination with war paint and camouflage thanks to its manual combat controls that give it a distinctly realistic feel. When reloading, many weapons require you to reach out and launch the ammo clip, before grabbing a new one and inserting one from your belt, then arming a weapon. Lever to activate a cartridge. The clips suddenly make you think of a slippery fish as you sit on the living room floor, on the couch, frantically trying to reload as the sound of enemy fire approaches. Playing in the future with a detached and escalated setup of a room should only strengthen the call. Ranging from desert outposts to deserted metro stations, its maps offer plenty of options for real-world diving. Which is half the pleasure, if you ask us. Expected: Let's hope the current 2019 Without further ado, here are the games you can get right now for your VR headset...

Beat saber
Beat Saber has sold over a million units on existing VR platforms for good reason (it creates an incredible dependency) and it's simple enough for everyone to access. The goal is to slash the red and blue blocks to the beat of the music with two lightsabers while avoiding your members to dodge and dodge. On lower difficulties, it's fun, but things get really interesting with "Hard" or "Expert". Hang in there, and you'll eventually enter a 'flow state' where your arms operate independently of thought. Suddenly cut blocks like Luke Skywalker if he played the Pendulum Drums instead of becoming a Jedi. Make sure you have enough room to perform 360-degree dance moves (which is unique to Quest). You should also connect external headphones (especially those with deep bass). After a recent update, it's even possible to stream the game to mobile devices and select Chromecast models to show off your moves to your friends.

Theft Reminder: Offline
It's fair to say that few people other than Drifter, the studio chosen by original developer Epic to bring Robo Recall on the quest, expected Unplugged to play almost identically to the full version of Oculus Rift released in 2017. Although its gradients While the graphics are remarkable, the humorous VR Wave shooter is probably even more exciting thanks to Quest's 360-degree freedom. The ability to teleport behind rogue robots, grab them by the chin, and spin around to turn them into imminent enemies is something that hasn't come easily in the Rift without the risk of seriously injuring your ankle. In addition to Unplugged's consistent frame rate, all of the above makes highscore all the more enjoyable. Whether you're dodging (and deflecting) incoming bullets or using scout bots as a makeshift rocket launcher, you'll have a chance to find just the right one. Printing to participate in the Olympic Games with a reminder of Robo. As one of the droids said: a smiling service.

Fury Racket: VR Table Tennis
A well-received title on the Oculus Go, the arcade-style ping-pong-a-thon Racket Fury is one of the more whimsical titles on the Quest. Ideal for quick 10-minute bursts and hour-long sessions, you can compete with increasingly challenging CPU opponents or try to climb the online multiplayer leaderboard. There are two game modes: Arcade and Simulation. Arcade is faster and makes it easier to hit powerful shots with less precision, while simulation requires a deft hand if you want to keep the ball from going over the edge of the table. Racket Fury is one of the few sports games on Quest where you never fail to find active players (at least in the Europa lobby). So we will continue to enjoy, at least until Eleven arrives.

Superhot VR
Superhot has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a browser-based tech demo back in 2013. The first-person shooter has found a natural home on the Quest, where it takes full advantage of 360-degree tracking. letting you be guided by the enemies. all sides As time decreases, Superhot VR enjoys the flexibility of a larger game space. As the difficulty increases, you will need several inches of cover to avoid incoming fire. Ball style on the lead, as you destroy faceless enemies with pistols, shurikens, and most satisfyingly, your clenched fists.

Foam
Puzzle platform fans will feel better about being a PS4 exclusive for Astro Bot once they've gotten a taste of Moss. Developed by former Bungie developers, this third-person adventure is one of the most impressive Quest titles, letting you immerse yourself in its immersive 3D environments. Guide Quill, a deaf mouse who tries to save his uncle after the overthrow of his kingdom by a hot-headed snake. Far from being a gimmick, Moss cleverly uses virtual reality to help you manipulate the environment and guide Quill through levels, solving environmental puzzles and fighting enemies along the way.

Hacker Trainer Space
Having made its Vive debut in 2016, Space Pirate Trainer is the OG VR Wave Blaster. Now on the quest, this is one of our favorite games to show off to VR beginners thanks to its simplistic gameplay mechanics, frenetic droid attack action, and devastating soundtrack. This old gold is almost a whole new wireless experience that tethers you to the place. Choosing from a variety of weapons and gadgets, including a smart shield, the extra movement offered by the tracking system within the Quest is almost an extra weapon unto itself. This makes the search a physically demanding experience: stay anchored in space and you will be forgotten. Although its gameplay can become repetitive over time, like Beat Saber, it has a magnetic "one last move" feeling that seems to bring us back to reality.

creed
Creed is one of the best Oculus Quest workouts and a must-have for boxing fans. While its single player campaign focuses on patience, skinny dodges, and force points on the opponent's chest, online multiplayer presents a different challenge, and that's about it. That creed shines there. With enough room to play, tactics come into play. Do you choose to play a fighter like Draco and work out to push? Or pick a fighter with better stamina and fight at the end of a hit while keeping your distance? As they say, styles make the fight, and Creed does an admirable job of making his movie-themed characters look just like you. It may not be the true boxing simulation we're hoping for (you hear, Thrill of the Fight?), but it's for the time being that our rust is on the sidelines.

Pavlov
One word of warning: while Pavlov is playable on the Oculus Quest, the FPS is currently an Open Alpha version, so you won't find it on the Oculus store. However, if you're ready to skip it, you can start earlier in the action. Join Pavlov's Discord Channel for installation instructions and help from his friendly community. Huge success on other VR platforms, Pavlov is essentially Counter: Strike in VR. Alpha has two game modes: Deathmatch and Search & Destroy, the latter involving one team dropping a bomb while the other tries to broadcast it. Like Onward, Pavlov forces you to manually reload weapons, though the pace is faster than Mil-Sim and there's rarely a long wait between rounds if you go out. Shooting is satisfying, with a decent amount of weapon recoil and meaty sound effects, while the diversity of pistols, rifles, and machine guns allows for varied and balanced gameplay.

Journey of the gods
Until the arrival of a Legend of Zelda game designed from the ground up for VR, Journey of the Gods is tops. With an attractive, shaded cell style that brings its gigantic, grotesque patterns to life, the gods cleverly use scale to navigate its vast, linear levels. While most action-adventure games are viewed in the first person, a "divine mode" allows you to manipulate the environment from a top-down strategic perspective to solve puzzles and gain the upper hand in battles. A large play area is convenient for physically defeating projectiles or turning to face enemies with your sword and shield when in a circle. The most fun weapon in the game is the crossbow, which is manually reloaded with a hand crank that carefully rewards distance and time.
