A friend of mine loaned me his quest 2 about a month ago. He hadn't powered it up in about a year. My gf and I have been playing beat saber and pistol whip almost every night and having a blast, but I can tell, at only about 3 weeks of play, its about to run its course. I went looking for other games and at $20-$40 they are all hard sells because of the expectation that they also may last a week or two tops.
It's super immersive and a ton of fun, but its a very specific experience. It's like if the Xbox only had shooter games. Yeah Halo was amazing when it launched, but I wouldn't want a console that just had one type of experience, and so far it seems VR is a singular style of experience. At least in my 3 weeks of playing.
- dougmwne 4y agoThere are a variety of genres that work well in VR, but I think developers are very much still figuring out the platform. A few things to check out that are not shooters: Physics based combat: Blade and Sorcery, Gorn, Barbaria, Bonelab Diorama: Ghost Giant, Moss, A fisherman’s tale, Demeo Arena duels: try Blaston, which is free Sports simulators: Eleven Table Tennis, Thrill of the Fight, Walkabout Mini Golf Puzzle/walking simulator: Red Matter, the last clockwinder Art: Gravity Sketch(free), Vermillion , Kingspray, Virtuoso Maps: Wooorld Weird: Tea for God (free) a really great example of how devs are inventing something new given the odd constraints of VR
