What should my first dedicated VR purchase be?

[StevieP]

I've recently got hold of an Oculus Rift and while I've got a few games already that can be played in VR (Elite Dangerous, Project Cars and Dirt Rally) I've not bought one specifically for VR yet! (although I do love Pokerstars VR and Google Earth as freebee's!)

I've had a look at a few videos and I'm quite drawn to Arizona Sunshine and Robo Recall but I've not got a huge playspace and they both seem to recommend a space larger than I have!

And recommendations for the "must have" VR title?

Arizona Sunshine and Robo Recall
I too have a very small playspace only about 2x2m,both these games i am finding a lot of fun.True you have to be aware of smashing the controllers into walls etc

Yeah, been there, done that - there is still a big black line on my ceiling where I was reaching to pop a balloon when I had a HTC Vive!

I did read somewhere that Robo Recall was free but it's £20+ on the Oculus store??

Robo Recall is/was free when you first register your touch controllers i believe

Download the core game engine for DCS. It's free, and includes 2 aircraft to potter about it.

Got to be Beat Saber.

Regarding Robo Recall and needed space - I do have a decent amount of space, but I play that game standing in place. So as long as your space is as big as your reach, you'll be fine.

Play Minecraft as I didn't play it much but tried it in VR and is one of the best examples of I can't play it in 2D now! Them blocks are much bigger with proper scale!

Alien Isolation is pretty good for a conversion from 2D but I can't stand free motion so never got too far. Flying/Floating like in Lone Echo is fine though.

Oh and Virtual Virtual Reality is a bit of fun so is Budget Cuts and Rick n Morty VR.

 

[something daft already!!]

Doom 3 with the VR conversion. Amazing game if a little buggy in places. Doom was the reason I got into PC gaming back in the early 90s and this made the VR experience for me. That and Project Cars 2

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys - I'll have a look through and see what tickles my fancy!
