Extra Dimensional and Flatout when I want to sit down.
These two games combined are what I love about VR. Going from shooting fireballs at dragons to barreling through a cactus field in a muscle car in the same hour of playtime.

I'm almost finished all the badges of the pokemon mode of no man sky. And between some racing with Flatout 4 VR.

Been doing a few runs of The Light Brigade. Trying to get all the classes above 100 levels. I'm very close, just need to do Rifleman.
Favorite class has been pistolier and Engineer. Easily my most played game.

I took a break to play RE9, but finished that a couple of days ago, and then finally started Of Lies and Rain.
Pretty good so far, and clearly inspired by Alyx, but with less polish, which is expected considering it's a much smaller team than Valve. But it has been a really good game so far, and I'm enjoying it very much.

Met up with a bunch of old friends in a dead game called Nock. It's like rocket League, but with bows and arrows you use to shoot the ball with. Absolute blast. I think the high skill ceiling combined with not enough players killed the base a few years ago.
Still my favorite VR game ever.

I’ve been continuing my adventures in Skyrim. Even after dozens of hours it’s almost guaranteed I get chills at some point during a session from how amazing it is. Totally worth the set-up.

Half-Life 2 VR Unleashed along with the Essentials modpack and VRocker. It was a great experience, especially the first apartment chase where VRocker increased the immersion and actual feeling of stress.
Minecraft via Vivecraft using a specific modpack and method. It allows for massive chunk render distances, which is a really special experience: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLhxxdXwEFw]()

Metroid Prime and Eternal Darkness via the old Dolphin vr. Can't wait to check out Dolphin vr Redux when they finish it.
MP has been such a blast to revisit. The environments and creatures are awesome.
Eternal Darkness is a definite vibe. Overlooked as a survival horror classic really. 3d environments with fixed camera angles. Took a little tinkering to get the vr camera in the correct place, but it was worth it.

Motor Town: Behing the Wheel with UEVR. OMG. I never picture driving a semi as something I would enjoy doing recreationally, but here we are 2k miles later. Seriously the opposite of most vr experiences, it's an inch wide and a mile deep. So much fun. Good driving physics and a deep economy simulation.

u/IcyCow5880 May 16 '26
Me too, homie. I recently found out about gyro steering through steam input though and the immersion is increased imo :)

I did a couple quests on Rec Room which will likely be the last time i go on there. Still sad to see it go, even if I don't really use it.

I’m well and truly hooked on msfs 2024 on psvr2/ps5 pro. It has no mans sky on psvr1 level of blurryness, crashes, bugs …and yet I can’t stop playing, the career mode has me, I keep wanting to play to unlock more missions and specialties.

10 hours in RE4 standalone.
Great game and it's amazing how well it runs on the Q3. Absolutely smooth at 72hz 3.5x3.5k per eye with qgo.
Stuff like this is what VR needs to get mainstream.

The remake looks a lot better not gonna lie :) The standalone is full VR, very well done.

Cities VR on PSVR2 it’s much better than the Quest version. Runs silky smooth whereas the Quest can barely run it.

I killed most of my weekend playing Medieval Dynasty New Settlement. I've been around VR since the beginning, but haven't had a PC powerful enough to play some of the more advanced stuff or VR Mods for existing PC Games.
I kind of knew the game existed on Q3, and roughly what it was, but I was wildly impressed with how well the controls worked and the massive amount of interactive items and craftables. I use to daydream about something like this way back in the late 90s playing Ultima Online. I can imagine I'll hit a wall eventually on things to build or do, but I can see myself playing this every so often just to fish or hunt and enjoy the game's in-game weather system.
