Virtual reality technology has come a long way in such a short time, and it now is one of the best ways to play games. You can basically step into a game and walk around the environment as though you were really there and it brings a whole new level to immersion. As the technology is getting better, more and more game developers are focusing on making virtual reality games. These are the best virtual reality games money can buy.
Beat Saber
This game combines lightsabers and Guitar Hero, what more could you possibly want? The aim of the game is to time the slashes of your saber as notes come flying toward your eyes. If you loved Guitar Hero, you’ll love Beat Saber as you follow notes to make sweet music. Those who play it on PC have the added bonus of being able to make their own tracks before trying to master them with the sabers.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was one of the scariest games of 2017, and it put you right in the heart of the action as you could play it using your VR headset. There is nothing scarier than having monsters coming at you from the walls and having nowhere to run. The fear is amped up while playing this game in VR because there is literally no escaping the terrors and you must face them head-on.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Who said that putting on a VR headset meant you were blocking everyone else in the room out? This is a multiplayer party game where one player puts on the headset while everyone else in the room assists the VR player in diffusing a bomb.
It is all about teamwork, and you learn pretty quickly which of your friends or family are useful in a crisis. Your friends use their phones to read the instructions for the bomb while you do your best to stop it from going off. The non-VR players don’t even know what bomb you’re dealing with, so communication is key to survive.
Eagle Flight
This VR game lets you take control of an eagle s you soar through the skies. Its best game mode is multiplayer where you compete against other player-controlled eagles to capture as much prey as possible. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to hunt like a bird of prey, then this game will take you there.
Smash Hit
When you just want to unwind for a bit, then Smash Hit is the perfect virtual reality game. All you do is take a bunch of steel marbles and throw them at panes of glass. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the glass smash into a million pieces, and the game is very relaxing. It’s perfect to put on after a long day at the office to forget your woes.
These are the best games you should definitely own with your virtual reality headset. They are challenging, will get your heart racing, give you a different perspective, and teach you a thing or two about communication.
