Best VR Games for Your Quest

Beat Saber

Price: $29.99

Beat Saber is one of the biggest reasons virtual reality is doing so well right now.

Price: $29.99

This is an Oculus Exclusive game, and it is still hiding its case as the best Oculus Exclusive. This was made for the Touch controllers, and the Oculus Touch 2.0 is the best for this game.

Netflix inside of virtual reality isn’t anything special, but it does give you access to all of the content Netflix has to offer.

Best Games for Oculus Link

When taking this list in, remember that the Quest is not the Rift S, even though they try to sell it as it is with the newest Beta. The next three games are what we have found work best on the PC when you use your Quest as a Rift or Rift S

Stormland

Price: $39.99

Stormland is the Oculus Exclusive game that we were waiting for from Insomniac Games. Players were instantly drawn to this game, even though it isn’t one of the most polished virtual reality experiences on the market. The space between this game and the best is large, but it still is a great play on the Quest. It runs very smoothly because it was made for Oculus headsets. If you are wanting to show tour Quest’s ability to transform, show your peers this game first.

Blade and Sorcery 

Price: $19.99

Blade and Sorcery is the game we have been waiting for with hand-to-hand combat inside of virtual reality. The sword isn’t everything here though, as a great deal of magic will have to used to make this game worthwhile. The Quest is perfect for this though, as the mapping is perfectly done for the controller and the tracking stays intact the entire experience. This is a full game that is still in early access, so buying right now while the price is right is going to be a big get.
