VR (virtual reality) gaming has been on the rise over the last few years. It has become so popular that Sony created its own VR headset to go along with the PS4 in 2016. Since then, over 5 million PSVR headsets have been sold, and 49% of all VR headsets sold in 2019 were the Oculus Quest.
This rise in VR gaming has shown that it isn't going away anytime soon. Today there are hundreds of VR games to experience. Which games should you choose to try out? And what games are currently the best?
10 Job Simulator
There is nothing quite like going to work, is there? Job Simulator brings all of the fun of going to work if work was entertaining and you could cause mayhem. This game puts you into various job settings.
Complete tasks, shove a doughnut into a copier, and jumbo size some hotdogs. Sounds like fun, right? This was one of the first games advertised for the VR systems and it is still popular to this day. There is a reason for that.
9 Gorn
Gorn is one of the greatest VR games people have been experiencing. The reviews on Steam come in as overwhelmingly positive for a reason. This hilarious game puts you into the body of a gladiator who is ready to dish out some mayhem in the arena.
Take on waves of enemies in your fight to be the ultimate gladiator. This game is made by the same company that created Broforce, so it is obvious how hilarious it is. Join the fun with many weapons to choose from for your killing sprees.
8 The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
Saints & Sinners is every gamers' chance to live like they are in The Walking Dead. Fight off hordes of the undead with different weapons that you scavenge, but it goes deeper than that. Talk with survivors, make choices, and hope that the outcomes don't get everybody killed.
This game is one of the best the series has to offer. It is no surprise that it is currently one of the top-rated games on Steam. It will probably be there for a decent amount of time as well.
7 Hot Dogs, Horseshoes, & Hand Grenades
This game has been out for a few years now and it is still one of the top-selling games for VR systems. The reason; guns, explosions, and crazy hot dot mercenaries. That's right, as part of the game the player squares off against hot dog mercs that are looking for blood, or maybe ketchup.
The game is filled with puns, ammo, and miniguns that will make any gamer fall in love. More updates will be rolling out in the future so keep those eyes out. They have already added over 40 guns to the game.
6 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR
Sick of Skyrim yet? Hopefully not, because it can also be experienced in VR. For two years now, players have been able to jump fully into the world of Skyrim and experience all the bloodshed and shouting first hand. Nothing has changed about the game, but seeing it in VR is a real eye-opener.
Those sweet rolls have never looked more scrumptious. It's too bad that players can't actually eat them. Maybe that will happen when VR gets more immersive. For now, we will all just have to settle for slaying a few dragons and raiding some dungeons.
5 Blade And Sorcery
Blade and Sorcery brings all the fun of magic, sword, and archery into one place. While it is no Skyrim, it offers intense fights and beautiful effects that will please many gamers. Fight enemies across different arena types that range from gulches to towns and even castles.
Select your difficulty and fight your way to victory. There are many weapons and magic to choose from in this fantasy fighting game. Try them all out and see what works best for you.
4 Pavlov VR
Pavlov VR is one of the first multiplayer shooter games for VR. Think, what if Call of Duty was in VR, or more accurately Counter-Strike. It may not be the best looking, but Pavlov VR pulls gamers in with its intense shooting action.
With recent updates, the team behind this game has added new game modes like Search and Destroy. For those players who want to try things out before they join in on the multiplayer fun, the game also has an offline practice mode to try out that will get them acclimated.
3 Boneworks
Remember Duck Season? Well, Boneworks is brought to everyone by the same company, Stress Level Zero. This game, however, doesn't have players getting killed by a person in a dog suit. This time, players have a deep story to play through that has them completing physics-based puzzles and shooting their way through enemies.
This game is similar to Half-life, especially with the use of the crowbar. There is a reason that this game is so highly rated on Steam. It is definitely one to try out.
2 Beat Saber
What if lightsabers were used to cut boxes to a rhythm instead of fighting? That question is answered in Beat Saber. Wield lightsabers to cut boxes to the beat of a bunch of songs from popular bands like Green Day, Linkin Park, and Imagine Dragons.
The game also comes with three packs of songs that are all custom made for the game. But what, there's more! As shown all across the internet, Beat Saber can be modded to add even more songs. Players have gone so far as to add songs like meme songs and their own special mixes.
1 Half-Life: Alyx
Welcome to the newest installment of the Half-Life series. It's not Half-Life 3, but it is a story that takes place between Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Valve really went to town on the creation of Half-Life: Alyx. This game has been all across YouTube and Twitch.
People have shown everything there is about this game, but it is still worth a try. It is filled with an intensity that you should try to really believe. Just don't get too carried away when going up against the vicious alien race.
