Top 10 VR Games - Fall 2018 

I'm glad there's some love for Jet Island, Moss, and especially Unknightly here, those games are really good.

What I hate most about VR is their use of transportation. Teleporting is good to avoid sickness in new VR users, but it's more of an annoyance to an experienced VR player. I wanna walk.

"I've never played Skyrim before" Todd Howard just had an aneurysm trying to understand how it is possible that some people still haven't played Skyrim.

No question, modded beatsaber is the only good beatsaber. You should try it even if you don't think you need it.

You’re my favorite VR RU-vidr!

Niche one but: War Thunder. You can sit in the actual cockpit of a Spitfire, Mustang, Fockewulf, MiG, whatever, and dogfight... it just blew me away. Realistic flight models, great graphics, really good VR integration. In my first dogfight I got shot down, sure, but partially because I was giggling like an idiot at how cool it was. When I finally got a kill though, and saw all the little scraps of 109 tumbling through the air all around me as he went down... my heart was pounding and I was sweating.

I love your videos, bro! They're detailed, super well-narrated, and make me want to buy more VR games! Thanks for your service!!

Fully agree with #1. And with well setted enb and mods... its more than a game!

An excellent list, most games I haven't even tried yet. I also like your clear and to the point reviews. Extremely helpful, thanks!

You played Skyrim for the first time in VR?! What a time to be alive

Before I had a vr headset I was really excited to try budget cuts but by the time I got one I had forgotten about it. This video reminded me and I now know that I *LOVE* budget cuts. Thank you.

Someone should make a 'most underrated RU-vidrs' list and put you on #1 Nice video man!

I definitely recommend modding Beat Saber. It's very quick and simple

Agreed about Moss. It's impressive in every dimension.

My vive has been sitting for six months. Thanks for giving me a reason to pick it up again!

Battlezone VR does not get enough love. Sometimes I want a good sitting VR experience.

I wish my first time in Skyrim could've been in VR. I'm really looking forward to going back to that game when I get my Rift S.

Thanks for this amazing video! A bunch of games I have not played yet and adding some to the list to try! Awesome stuff and thanks!

You definitely need to find a friend with a HOTAS setup and play Elite: Dangerous in VR. The absolute massive scale of the ships you pilot and the stations/planets you can interact with makes it my #1, and my most played VR game.

I can't imagine doing a first run through Skyrim in VR. What a treat. Enjoy your stealth archer.

Hey there! That's an awesome selection, I even discovered some games I never heard about (NeverBound and Unknightly do seem great), so thank you! About Beat Saber, as everyone, I highly recommend modding it. Now it is really easy, as it has a Mod Manager (pretty much like Nexus for Skyrim). Beat Saber is awesome, but it definitely has a *huge lack of content* without the mods. Luckily, mods are here to fix it, which makes this game almost perfect. - Want to change the colors? You can! (I have a Slytherin color theme, lol) - Want more songs to discover? You have hundreds of them available! - Want different lightsabers? There are lots of them! - Want an actual avatar? You can! (Well, I think this one doesn't work with the latest updates of the game... I need to check). - The third person view, with Mixed Reality, can make exceptional streamings/recordings! Personally, I would say Elite:Dangerous is my favourite VR game. I always call it a "space Skyrim", as there is so much to do in this game: exploration, battles, mining, various missions, character editing... It definitely feels like Skyrim in space. Also, the ships are numerous and there are *tons* of different components to equip the ship with (including weapons, shields, electronics, pressurization stuff, small robots for repairing or missile interception, planet/stars analysis, engines, ........). I spent dozens of hours on this game and barely scratched the surface of what can be done. Dead Effect 2 VR is also very unknown, yet it is by far the best zombie VR game (even better than Arizona Sunshine). There are tons of different weapons and a full campaign, with multiplayer modes (battles and coop). It is also fully voiced. And it's a RPG, meaning there is a lot of upgrading stuff. Definitely one of the most complete VR games out there.

Personally Jet Island is my all time favourite game. I know that the graphics are fairly rudimentary and I am picky as hell about graphics, but the game play once you have mastered the controls is absolutely a blast. The sheer scale of the game, killing the drones and defeating the bosses is unparalleled imo.

Thanks for the updated list! I completely agree with #1. Nothing else even comes close.

I'm soon getting into VR and have been wondering about games other than the racing/flightsims I'm already into. These are all interesting examples. I like your taste! Also very much like your style and tone! Keep it up! Will subscribe!

My favorite has been Pavlov VR. It's basically counterstrike in vr and there are community maps. It has the best gunplay of anything I have seen.

Onward is Forever my #1 VR game.

Astro bot is perhaps the greatest bit of media I've ever experienced.

Robo Recall is loads of fun, you feel like a skilled badass while shooting a variety of robots.

Stumbled across your content looking for VR games to play, Good content, I've definately got some new games to try out!

Good stuff man. I agree on Skyrim. Although it’s fun using the 2 handheld devises, I like to use the Axis controller to get around. A lot of people complain about getting sea sick & motion sickness but, I have not once experienced this in this game. Although I have in Farpoint, a lot! I have pretty much all the VR games from Werewolve’s Within to RE, Skyrim & everything in between. Skyrim is my go to game to go to for getting away from reality & enjoy stunning graphics & VR gameplay. Listen to me. I sound like a damn salesman. I have the PS4VR and thoroughly enjoy it every time I get the chance. Thanks for the cool countdown again. Rock on! -Monk

A lot of cool games coming out! Playing on this gives me a little head ache from time to time, but I gotta give it a shot again. Games coming out looking like its worth it.

Watched a few of your videos in the past, but subbed today. I realized I legitimately didn't want to miss a VR video.

Skyrim VR is super fun with mods, i have stupid amounts of hours in Skyrim but it never gets old to me

Great List! I’m a PSVR user so here is my top 10 10. Statik 9. Until Dawn Rush of Blood 8. Pixel Ripped 1989 7. Superhot VR 6. Wipeout VR 5. Resident Evil 7 4. Moss 3. Skyrim VR 2. Sprint Vector 1. Astro Bot

Super happy you enjoyed NeverBound :)

Astrobot: Resuce mission is the Mario of VR games. It's fun, beautiful as all hell(especially the cave levels) and just one of the most creative VR games I've played.

for anyone wondering, the psalm at 5:02 is Miserere mei, deus (psalm 51) aka the one where the guy uses a helium balloon to sing really high. I would recommend looking it up.

you're very fortunate to have never played skyrim before the VR.. i wish i could wipe my skyrim memory and replay it fresh

Man, I loved Talos but I almost regret playing it on PC now. That looks amazing in VR.

You're missing out by not installing the custom songs on beat saber. Twice as fun as the originals.

Who got a VR for Christmas?

Skyrim will keep you busy for years if you learn to mod it, it's super easy, and nearly all the Skyrim SE mods work with Skyrim VR. In fact, Mods are pretty much the reason the game is still relevant. There is even a version of Skyrim Script Extender for VR. You can't use regular Skyrim mods, they need to be Special Edition mods. The only thing that doesn't work that great currently is mods that affect the UI [which includes Perk tree mods]. It's being worked on, but they haven't quite figured it out yet as far as I know. Check out the Skyrim SE Nexus, and use the Vortex program to mod Skyrim VR. It's simple to use and will tell you if one thing is conflicting with another and let you decide which to use. Texture mods may have an impact on performance, depending on how big they are. They also only impact visuals and are pretty hard to screw up. You're usually pretty safe with 2k texture mods as it will have next to no impact on performance most of the time. Just watch out for 4k mods with Skyrim VR, too many will tank your FPS fast, even on decent hardware. Start with SMIM [Skyrim Mesh Improvement Mod] and build off of that. Other mods will add items, quests, companions, enemies, npcs, starting from a new place and not having to go through the intro sequence again, and all sorts of other things. Adding quests and companions is highly recommended. Some companions and quests are even fully voiced with unique dialogue and new mechanics [most companion mods just use the vanilla follower voices with some tweaks.]. Check out Sofia, Inigo, Song of the Green, Vilja, and Recorder, all of them have entirely new voicework and feature unique quests. You can add all of them to your current game and it won't break anything. Add in a Multiple Followers mod as well, so you can have more than one of them tag a long at once. Some of them will even talk to each other and other companion NPCs. You'll also need to find all of them in the game world, they don't just appear with your character because you have them installed. [Avoid mods like Advanced Follower Tweaks with these fully voiced characters, you can have them both installed and it won't break anything, but do not use the mod's options to do anything to these characters. They have their own behavior scripts that are different from normal in game followers and mods like Advanced Follower Tweaks can break their scripting.] It's best to finish a playthrough of Skyrim before getting into modding outside of maybe adding some textures to make it look nicer and maybe add a few companions. It's easy to "break" Skyrim by over modding it. This is easily undone though as you can install and uninstall mods with Vortex. However, you may not be able to use the saves from your modded game if you take things out. Usually you'll be fine, but occasionally having to remove mods means starting over depending on what they do. You also might want to consider a lighting mod. You can make the dungeons darker and scarier, nights more realistically dark, and even improve how interiors look. Making things like Night Eye, Torches, and Light Spells required for dungeon diving. At any rate, definitely check out the modding scene for Skyrim VR. It will add a ton of replay value to the game. Once you've finished with Skyrim VR in a standard vanilla playthrough, get ye to Google and learn how to mod it.

Virtual Virtual Reality is actually inception if you think about it

Some actual game play and not just trailers thanks nice video

Also glad you finally got to enjoy Skyrim!

custom songs are where it's at man. the original tracks are the best but it really extends the life of the game playing customs, not all are good but there are a few worth checking out.

Top Most Wanted VR Games 5: A full superhot like rpg 4: GTA 3: Star Wars 2: Assassins Creed 1: Spider man

I wasn't really enjoying skyrim vr until I found out about all the mods. Now that's all I want to play

I really recommended the Invisible Hours, it is and extremely cool experiance

dang, I love your top lists

Normal person: pc game VR gamer: FLAT SCREEN GAME

War Dust should be on this list. It's a great Battlefield clone! I've played it nightly for months now.

Thank you for the reviews - actually helpful. Just a note, what you called Gregorian Chant music is anything but. Gregorian Chant is single line, as in everyone either sings in unison or in at most octaves. What played when you called it gregorian chant was Miserere Mei by Allegri, a lush, polyphonic (as in, people singing multiple different lines simultaneously) piece of harmonic music. Some sections are sung in unison, specifically the bridges, but that does not make it Gregorian Chant - Gregorian Chant is more than just "old timey classical choir music".

Finally a fresh new game is being released for the the Bow and Arrow Dungeon Crawler genre.

Who is also sick of mindless gaming and just wants a real VR game with a bomb ass storyline? Like tomb raider in 1st person or real horror games with a story...

15:00 imagine such a game, you get attached to the character and you are a character yourself but in the end your friend dies and you have to watch it without being able to do anything ;-; I would start crying I think

Thank you for this. Super helpful. I’m excited to check out Budget Cuts now

*monotone* Can you tell I like this game. Heh heh. I love watching your videos please keep uploading. I don’t have a VR headset of my own but thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Such a fun way to satisfy my Video Game whole!

Not only Astro Bot should be there, it would also be my number one in the list. That game is a a masterpiece!

No Firewall? I think it is the best vr game now

Me after 1 second of video: Oh. Thats a Joplin in the background (i think)

I played Skyrim first on PSVR, I got lucky there.

I just bought Jet island two days ago! That's so weird! Great video.

Great reviews! Lots of new games to play xD

I recommend Vox Machinae for you!

Beatsaber: super easy to add your songs and custom sabers but you will probably want to download discord to have the easiest access to all the custom songs and sabers everyone is making. free and available to all.

Developers don't need to create new games, all they need is converting the current games into VR. I ain't buying no VR headsets until they make Far Cry and Tomb Raider into full pledge VR games

Thank you Ben for giving me ideas of what games to get when I get a oculus rift

The talos principle was a great regular pc game. I might have to go and replay it in VR

I’m gonna get the following for my Oculus Rift S -Asgard’s Wrath -The Climb -Hellsplit Arena -Blade and Sorcery -Please Dont Touch Anything -Floor Plan -other free games and 1 paid

vox machinae vr is sooo good. It is still in Early access, and pretty bare bones, but it is already so fun, and there is so much potential. I love it, highly recommend.

Looks like Tribes! God I miss that game.

Yes, yes, I'm enjoying this compilation. [Feels my wallet getting lighter] Please go on...

Skyrim VR is obviously the best archery game duh 😂

“Aaaand number one goes to.... GORN”

OrbusVR is a nice game if you love MMORPGs, missing it in this top ; _ ;

Moss on the psvr is really good

it'd be really nice if you stated the price of each game as you listed them.

Thanks for the list! I look forward to new ones as more games develop

awesome! I gotta question though, what do you use to capture the gameplay? I have been trying to use like OBS but the screen displayed on my computer feels like its cutting off the top half of what I am seeing inside my headset.

Try the broken seal Vr. I got it recently and I'm having a blast using its unique voice magic casting system.

C’mon! Not even playing the downloadable levels for beat saber? You’re missing out! They’re the best!

I need to make one like this for my channel lol

Hey dude ! Love your videos. Now i know its a long shot, but, id love to possibly play something with you in VR. IF you cant find somebody to play online with, id love to ! Thanks for your videos, inspired me to try and maky my own channel.

Got my refurbished mmr for 130. While I have been playing alot of skyrim vr and VR chat but I haven't played much else so definitely planning on picking up some of these.

why does that guy's voice sound like he´s about to gossip about sue at highschool

jet island looks sick but I'm afraid of heights

Yup, without a doubt these TikTok ads are pissing me off.

I'm surprised you haven't installed custom songs for beat saber yet. It really takes the game to a whole new level. You should do you self a favor and try it.

Thx for the list

I love the list, and I played some of those games. Beat Saber is one of my favorites.

@Ben Plays VR Pixel Ripped is another must play making this list a top 11 :P

Talos Principal is my jam!

you need to play lone echo. it is by far my favorite game so far.

envious of your virgin skyrim experience in VR. i bought it on PSVR on release and i just couldnt help thinking i wish i didnt know this game like the back of my hand. still an awesome experience though. now i'm considering playing it again in pcvr just to get the better visuals, and mods. i always try to start a new character in skyrim doing something i havent done before but i always gravitate to a stealth archer, thieves guild build hahaha i just cant help myself.

Hey Ben, if you like Moss so much, you *really* should get a PSVR, so you can add Astrobot on there (Wipe out too!) - trust me, it will melt your insides!. I like that you include a 'hidden gem' towards the end. There are so many really great VR games that no one talks about - how about a top ten 'hidden gems list? (Totally agree with you comments on Skyrim btw). Nice Video, even if it missed a few of my own top 10 ;-)

Wow - I'm on the PSVR side of things, and I had no idea that they made The Talos Principal into a VR game. Only the '2D version' is available on PS4, and it's damn good. Kinda' jelly the VR stuff never came to PS4...

wow no pavlov?? its imo the best vr fps game on the market. should be at least top 5

The Unknightly is completely like Thief.

hi been watching your vids for a some time now.. i got to wondering if you ever did a top X list of vr model/editor apps... keep it up...
