What Virtual Reality games are you playing?

Now I use a new graphics card, I wanted to play Lone Echo again with higher graphics, such lovely looking game at times.
And I remember now why it’s one the greatest games I’ve over played, an absolute masterpiece.
Lone Echo and War Dust will see me right for a while
 
Fallout 4 VR is taking up all my VR time right now. Like Skyrim it's not perfect - some of the controls are awkward, but the sense of presence, of existing in the Fallout world is wonderful. Performance is pretty poor, even on my 4790k with a superclocked 1080ti. Frequent frame drops and ASW kicking in randomly. Still very addictive though!
 
I'm playing Assetto Corsa. I'm very pleased I managed to get my Saitek R440 force wheel to work with it last night. It adds an extra dimension. Also Doom 3 BFG is stunning. A little bit of Project cars, some Beat Sabre and Dirt Rally are my go to games right now.
 
It's been Skyrim for me lately. I won't deny that it's janky in places, but it just has those moments of wandering around a point on the landscape, or turning a corner in a dungeon only to be greeted with a sight that makes my jaw drop.

Steam has me logged at 118 hours in Skyrim VR, and I've still not done everything there is to do in it. :eek: I definitely got my money's worth out of that. Even though I've played it hundreds of hours in the original pancake versions it almost felt like a new game in VR.
 
Oh wow... Just had my first go on robo recall after getting my rift yesterday, even better than I expected!! What are the must have games for the rift? So far I've got:

Superhot
Fallout 4
Elite Dangerous
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

And some other games which I believe are VR compatible:

The Forest
Payday 2
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
 
Must have is subjective, but aside from your list, I like:

Onward (Kinda srsbsns)
Pavlov (Less srsbsns)
War Dust (64 player Battlefield. Bloody loving this right now!)
Zero Caliber (Bloody downloading this right now :D)
Google Earth. Not a game, but awesome nonetheless.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew (Best with mates, and helps if you're at least a little bit of a trekkie)
Gun Club VR (Single player doing a load of active target range stuff. Better than it sounds)
*Insert racing game of choice*
Lone Echo (Don't have low ceilings or anything breakable near you!)
Skyrim (if you're prepared to mod and fancy playing as an archer/mage)
Arizona Sunshine

Conversions: Alien Isolation and Doom 3 BFG.

Dunno what your motion sickness tolerance is like, so a lot of these might be a bit iffy if you haven't got the legs yet :)

Rec Room (free!!!)
War Dust
Pavlov
Zero Caliber (free demo worth downloading just to mess with the guns)
Onward (if you like serious sim style shooters, no respawns)
Lone Echo (best VR game made, an absolute masterpiece)
Echo VR (online spin-off off Lone Echo, the Zero-G frisbee is free, and there’s another component coming soon Echo Combat, which I believe will about £10, Zero-G team fortress style payload game, very cool)
Moss
Beast Sabre
Budget Cuts

Can’t go wrong with any of these.
Rec Room with friends, War Dust and Lone Echo would be my top 3 right now
 
The game I seem to playing in VR mostly at the moment is "In Death". Been a few updates lately, although still finding it hard to kill the boss guy. :(

I was playing this quite extensively when it came out and only realised a few weeks ago that I had a shield! :p

Still my favourite VR bow-and-arrow game. Haven't managed to defeat the (first?) level boss yet :(

Alien isolation vr mod mother is getting an update hopefully out on Thursday :)

Should have 1st pass of motion controller support
 
FO4 is still keeping my attention, though the swimming mechanics are driving me crazy. I managed to get stuck underwater last night with no way to get out of the water. Why they couldn't implement thumbstick/trackpad controlled swimming (like in Skyrim) rather than the crazy gesture based swimming, I don't know.

On an impulse I finally bought Beat Saber and it's cool, but not cool enough to stop me playing FO4.
 
Playing through Doom VFR when I get the chance. It's proving to be a challenge, and much underated I think.

Could do with a snap turn if one doesn't exist, but everything else works great. The full version of the game would be big business, were Bethesda ever to return to VR. It's hard to see why they didn't bring it in the first place, it's an aging part of the franchise that's long past it's sales window, and performs well with current VR hardware.
 
You can supposedly add snap turning to Doom VFR, using config file control mappings, but I could never get it working. :(

I'm currently playing In Death a lot which as got me addicted. It didn't grab me when I first played it, but it's had a few updates since, and now has loads of unlockables plus extra levels to keep you coming back.

I've also gone back to playing Co-op From Other Suns. I've met some very good players and they've taught me a few new tricks, though they were amazed to see Golden Legendary pistols in the game as they'd never seen them before - they're a pre-order bonus, but don't seem to be that common.
