Recently I purchased a Pico 4 VR headset, and the main reason for that was that I wanted to do some physical activity during work breaks. You know, when the CI/CD pipeline runs, when test suite runs, et cetera, and just in general to be able to easily stand up and do some excercise. Sure, that seems like overly complex solution to a simple problem – do some push ups, sit ups and so on.
But the problem is that it is very easy to forget about it altogether, at least for me. Games, on the other hand, are designed to be addictive.

So I’ve tried Beat Saber. And it turned out to be the best VR game ever. It is just great.
And the best thing is, you can’t really stress yourself too much (unless you’re playing 100 sit ups in 3 minutes, but that’s another story). I wish though that there were more wider maps, wider and longer movements. There are custom maps for that, too.
But I wish it would be more common. Basically, I’ve bought VR for Beat Saber, and it turned out to be totally worth it.
Unfortunately, the alternatives to Beat Saber are not even close. I would really much just prefer that Beat Saber integrated some of the features of other similar games, because it is just better overall, and I myself don’t see any point playing something else.

As for the rest of VR games... It is sketchy at best.
Driving games work OK for me – the only problem that I have is that I would really really really prefer driving in Forza Horizon, instead of other games. Flight simulators like War Thunder work great too. Looking around the interior of the vehicle adds to the immersiveness.

The shooters are... playable. I’ve tried Pavlov VR, but it requires you to hold your weapon with both hands to be accurate.
And I find that very annoying. Yes, maybe for a super simulation realism mode it would be cool, but in general it is just not practical. Reloading and all that stuff is done with your hands, and I really don’t have a problem with that, it works okay.
But I think Vail VR is just better in general. Still, not as fun to play.
Doom VFR surprised me in a good way, despite negative reviews. I felt that it is a pretty good VR shooter, really.
Even though I had to turn my head around to look around, because I was lazy to bind right stick to look around (and maybe that’s not even possible? I am not sure).

Half-Life: Alyx is... neither good or bad.
It looks good (for VR), but the problem lies with its gameplay. It’s a Half-Life game, so there are lots of breaks between shooting the enemies. I’ve got so frustrated in the beginning so that I loaded some chapter after that.
I don’t want to sit in VR and solve puzzles. As a matter of a fact, I disliked it in the original Half-Life series.
I love Portal 1 & 2, but for some reason I can’t stand solving puzzles in Half-Life.
And since it was one of the first AAA titles for VR, the movement is strange.
They’ve designed the levels so that you have to “jump” often, but why I can’t jump just to a press of a button?
Why do I have to teleport?
Btw, there are some cool features in this game – like climbing the ladders with your own hands. But that’s a one trick pony – you can climb them by a press of a button and that’s just so much easier, so why bother.

I wish there was some sword fighting FPS slashing game, something like Shadow Warrior. Also, I’d like to play with lightsaber, you know?
I haven’t tried Blade and Sorcery, but it looks like it is not for me, really.

I’ve tried several virtual drumming “games”, and that’s a cool concept, however... The problem is that each game of this genre has something really good, but is not fun overall. Paradiddle, Ragnarok, Drums Rock...
I am certain that is possible to create a good VR drums experience, but it is not there yet.

There are also mods for regular games that add the ability to look around in VR. I haven’t tried those, but I really think that developers should add at least that to their games.

Overall, I have a feeling in most of the VR games when I play them: Why VR?

VR really shines when you benefit from immersiveness (driving, flying), or utilise your hand movement (Beat Saber, drums).
But apart from that – I am not sure. I like how “3D” effect works, and all that. It really is cool. But still, I’d play a PC game over VR.

I hope that there’ll be more and/or better games like Beat Saber, or that it’ll receive updates to make it more versatile (more modes, more different types of movement), that regular games would add VR modes (such as Forza Horizon, Cyberpunk and such).
Playing 3rd person games in VR is just pointless, by the way.
