Beat Saber (Multiplatform)
Dance Dance Revolution meets Star Wars; Guitar Hero meets Tron; all of that happens in VR in Beat Saber. The new rhythm game has players slashing around glowing sabers to the beat of a musical track. It challenges players to keep up with the tune while cutting specific colored blocks from specific directions and dodging obstacles.
Beat Saber is currently available for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality devices. If you want to jam out to some music, chop up some blocks, and break a little sweat, Beat Saber is definitely one of the best VR games for you.
Astro Bot: Rescue Mission (PlayStation VR exclusive)
If you own a PlayStation VR headset, stop whatever it is you’re doing, head over to your PS4, and buy Astro Bot: Rescue Mission – this is the killer title the PlayStation VR has been waiting for.
Astro Bot: Rescue Mission isn’t just a great VR platformer, it’s also a great platforming game full stop. Filled with the kind of inventiveness we’ve only come to expect from Nintendo’s Mario series, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission utilizes the VR format with such wild imagination, making other efforts look lazy. Weaving levels all around the player, and using scale to both disarm and delight your expectations, it’s quite unlike any of the best VR games you’ll have played before.
Tetris Effect
It’s hard to put the Tetris Effect experience into words. Fundamentally, you’re playing a regular game of Tetris, except that the environments you’re playing in change. Each level has its own distinct flavor – with music and visuals tailored to its theme. For example, you can play an underwater level and hear soothing underwater noises, while sparkling whales float around your head.
It’s a psychedelic and hypnotic experience, and one that everyone should have the privilege to play.a
