  I guess that’s fair.

  I found most VR games I tried to be shallow experiences. Resident Evil was cool but it made me feel motion sickness after about 30 minutes.

    I’ll probably use VR mostly to play sims. Elite Dangerous, X4, I also have a few racing sims.

    But ultimately depends on the price. I’m not going to sell my organs for what is essentially a really cool immersive gimmick.

      Racing sims are 11/10 in VR. Any cockpit game really. No going back for me.

        House of the Dying Sun is a space sim with a strategic map view in addition to piloting a fighter yourself.

        It is so good in VR.

    It’s much better for games that were designed around VR in mind.

    Some of my personal favorite recommendations:

    • Beat Saber
    • Super Hot
    • I Expect you to Die (trilogy)
    • Half Life Alyx
    • The Myst and Riven remakes

      Elite Dangerous is phenomenal in VR. Same for Star Wars: Squadrons. But I’m a big space sim fan.

    Half life alyx was a solid game and I would expect valve to release another VR game for this things release. Even if not, there’s good stuff out nowadays.

    Although I don’t get the motion sickness that people have mentioned so maybe I have more options.
