These are the best games for the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset, which is also known now as the Meta Quest 2. For the sake of clarity, let’s call the headset Oculus Quest 2 in this article.
Oculus Quest 2 is an immersive VR headset that was developed by Meta (previously Facebook). This is quite a pricy VR headset which starts at $400. In this article, I will list some of the best games you can play on the platform.
Beat Saber
This is one of the best VR games ever released, and its popularity is very well-deserved. Not including this on a list like this is almost criminal. In Beat Saber, you select songs of your choice and slash boxes which come at you as the song goes on, with precision and speed. Essentially, Beat Saber is a rhythm game – and one of the best at that.
Half-Life: Alyx
Half-Life: Alyx is actually canon to the popular and respected franchise, but as many players tell, it’s canon and connected in a strange way. Whatever the case may be with its story and plot, it’s safe to say that Half-Life: Alyx is one of the most immersive and best-looking VR games to date. It has received 10/10 (Overwhelmingly Positive) reviews on Steam and that says a lot. In the game, you play as Alyx, the titular protagonist. You may even remember this colorful character from the legendary Half-Life 2. If you’re like me and always down for more Half-Life, this VR game is a must-play.
Superhot
Superhot is a unique game that has a very different approach to first-person shooting. In the game, time only moves when you move, and you are not limited to using a selected weapon. Instead, many things, including guns and knives, could be your weapons. You can execute all sorts of creative moves in this game and it’s very replayable because of the number of possibilities, gameplay-wise.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted
I’m sure you have already heard of this game. FNAF: Help Wanted is basically a collection of minigames set in the FNAF universe. Many streamers play this, and its popularity among gamers and non-gamers alike is really impressive. Now, the VR version will be scary. In fact, you may be petrified and you’ll be the one who wants help. But whatever the case, it’s worth giving FNAF VR a try, even if you’ll be putting your sanity on the line.
Blade and Sorcery
This is the perfect game for you if you’re into medieval duels between armor-clad knights. The best thing about it is that you’ll literally face off against an enemy and your skill in real-life will be what decides the victory or loss. You can select multiple classes in the game, like warrior and sorcerer, like in regular fantasy RPGs. Blade and Sorcery is described as a fully physics-based medieval fantasy combat, and that sounds so enticing.
