Spice&Wolf VR2
This game is heavier than Cyberpunk and Half Life ALYX. For this game, I need to use 70% resolution scale on GTX 1660 Super and Ryzen 5 2600.
They also gave no option to disable or lower the quality of the desktop vr view mirroring. Unlike other games (e.g. beat saber) where you can put the mirror in lowest quality and keep high quality in VR.
btw,
Why they didnt put the subtitle above their heads? Just pin its location to head and direction to player camera…. Currently the subtitle are a pain to read and detract from the experience.

This is fantastic! It’s a great step in the development of the concept of a VR anime/OVA, though it is expensive for how much content you’re getting. The quality of this is SUPERB, everything about this is well done and really enjoyable to watch/experience. Acting all around is great from Holo and Miyuri, both are fantastic and express the characters amazingly well.
It’s a no-brainer to buy.
Only thing I wish we had was an option for the “petting” mode for 2D screens using the mouse as a hand, That’d allow for a better value for everyone.

Gloomy Eyes
Played with Oculus Quest 2 and Virtual Desktop streaming.
This was incredibly pleasant. Totally worth it on sale for a half hour experience. Worth it regardless if you don’t need to be as concerned over finances. But I would like to see more of these at $5. Girlfriend watched it first and then I did. Was a nice activity for the weekend.
You don’t need controllers once it starts up simply looking at the 3 chapters will start them.
You will want a decent guardian area set up as you’ll want to get in close at times or change your viewing perspective. It’s 360 degrees although things aren’t happening everywhere all the time. It’ll be clear where you should be looking. Sometimes it’s lower to the ground or higher up. Similar to Allumette: The Little Match Girl in style. I do wish it was a little brighter even if it’s supposed to be dark.

Laid-Back Camp - Virtual - Lake Motosu
As the biggest fan of Yuru Camp, it’s super comfy!! The price might not be worth it for those who aren’t into the anime or into CGDCT, but it’s a great game for fans of Yuru Camp and those who want to experience something calm and comfy once in a while. The graphics are pretty nice; it might need a little more detail to the environment and further exploration of the whole Koan Campground area instead of being stuck in two places, but I guess that’s how most VR story-telling games work. The story is pretty much what you’d expect from a Yuru Camp episode, pure comfy and heartwarming cuteness that makes me love the two girls even more. I even like the small bit of NadeRin moment at the end of it~ Though I wish there was more to the gameplay and interactivity to make us feel more immersed in the campsite.

First of all, at the time of this writing the listing says “VR Only” but you can totally play it without.
I have played it with and without. VR Headset is an HP Reverb G2 and working without problems. Also take note that this is more an “experience” than is a “game”.
For the price, as much as I’d like to, is hard to justify if you don’t have VR headset.
The interactions are limited and the game could use some chilling music during downtime if you just want to stay in a scene.
The graphics are okay but it’s nothing groundbreaking. The atmosphere in the scenario greatly improves during the noon/evening and night, but it feels a bit cheap during the morning. I’m wondering if it has taken some damage on the PC release being a cross-platform title that includes android phones.

Crawlspace
Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my gameplay & initial impressions here: https://youtu.be/-vtt2gtULcs
If you really enjoyed Emily Wants to Play and want another VR game similar to that one & you’re okay with clunky VR interactions & gameplay mechanics that need refinement, then I can recommend this game for you. Otherwise, I would say it’s a wait for a sale / wait for an update to the game.
In this game you’re crawling in the crawlspace while being chased by killer dolls. Each night brings a new threat and a different way to handle the threat. Meanwhile, you’re collecting baby dolls and bringing them back to the little girl’s room that is on lockdown for some reason until you finish the job. You have 5 nights to survive and your progress is automatically saved after each successful night.

Crawlspace is a VR escape the room game with Horror element. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. You are trapped in a house with creepy dolls. You have to crawl through the crawl space to find dolls. Very scary. The skin for your arms were odd moving. There is nodal teleport movement and grip crawl movement. Very creepy environment. You have to survive in the house for five nights, each with different rules. So i guess you have to puzzle out how to stay safe from the scary doll attacks. The textures looked ok. The VR controls were ok. Game worked out of the box. Has in-game instructions as you started out.

Waddle Home
(played on the oculus rift s in a relatively small l-shaped play area)
waddle home is a short easy puzzle game about leading penguins through a tile-based island, collecting eggs and avoiding enemies to reach a final goal. there’s 40 levels, having taken me about 2 hours to beat all of them with 100% collectables and now working back through in order to get the 1000 minimum score on each level achievement.
it’s not a new concept - not by any stretch of the imagination. back to bed is pretty much the same game - replacing penguins with a dreaming person and the dogs with robots - relying on the gimmick whereby your player(s) walk straight and turn left, and enemies walk straight and turn right. the primary differences are that a) this game is in vr and b) back to bed has a deeper set of mechanics and a more challenging levelset. if you’re going into this game expecting a brand new exciting (and difficult) puzzle experience, this isn’t worth your £4. buy back to bed instead, it delivers a far better experience on that front.

Your goal is to release cute penguins onto a level, who passively move through it: they only walk forward (you don’t control them), and only turn right when they bonk on something. You look down on the entire level as though you were a kid standing over a playset (think one of those Thomas the Train tables). Because of this, the game feels smaller and involves no movement around your room. If you can only play standing up, this is the perfect VR game for you. Anyway, the penguins need to pick up eggs and then exit. To guide them, you can raise or lower blocks, thereby altering the penguins' paths. There are enemies along the way who can remove your penguins. That’s it! Highly polished game, clean design, good fun. For an entry-level VR user who is looking to do something besides the tech demos and partial experences that lack progression, this fits the bill nicely. It not a visual feast, but it’s charm factor is AAA.

Laid-Back Camp - Virtual - Fumoto Campsite
Fumoto Comf!!! This version is really full of cuteness and healing especially because of Nade’s energy and the giant fluffy dog. The price might not be worth it for those who aren’t into the anime or into CGDCT, but it’s a great game for fans of Yuru Camp and those who want to see Nadeshiko’s radiant cuteness and to pet a dog. The graphics are the same technically the same as the Motosu version, only a bit duller because there’s no animated lake, but still a nice treat especially since we get to see the sunrise in retrospect to the 3rd episode of Season 1. Same criticisms from the Motosu version too, needs a bit more interactivity, music, and exploration, but definitely gives you tons of comfort and healing. The new OST during the sunrise is also a huge plus (sasuga Akiyuki Tateyama again).

Now that the comfiest game ever has been made, it’s all downhill from here…
This follows the standard Gemdrops formula of being a 20-30 minute anime episode in VR with barely any interaction, only 2 or 3 characters and only 1 environment while selling for $25 (or $20 in the case of this game). It’s honestly not a great formula. There’s a lot of missed opportunity for camp-based interactivity like setting up a tent, making a fire, cooking some food, etc. They like releasing on all platforms including mobile, Switch, etc, though, so it’s unlikely they’ll start improving upon the formula any time soon.

Madrid Noir
Nice little detective story about mysterious uncle. It is not a game, more like an experience, with few small interactions. Played on HP Reverb G2 with Index controllers. I had to lower resolution to 50% (otherwise the game crashed right after launching) but it still looked great and sharp and felt like it is still at 100% resolution.

Madrid Noir is a VR interactive animated movie that is paid program. It worked on my HTC Vive system with RTX 2070 super, looked good, sounded good, played ok, was understandable. No help or instructions in-game, make assumption you know your way around VR. Has 3 languages to choose from: English, French and Spanish. Has some interactive objects to use to move the story along or to play with. Was a wonderful story with a good plot. Has a 45 minute runtime. You have only play space movement, the story will move you where it needs you to be. You might wanna be standing for this one, the movie goes all around you. You have a choice of 5 hand colors. The voice over in English was good. Not sure what the French and Spanish version are like, but i guess the be of same quality. Has cartoon Violence. Has good animations and textures.

Salsa-Virtual
Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers.
Full roomscale setup is recommended. Wish I could have tested this out with Vive Trackers to see if the feet move well with those.
So these are real dance lessons where you learn some salsa basics and then more advanced moves. You start out almost painfully slow. The tutorial is just you marching and then testing your balance. You can choose an avatar as well as his or her clothes. You have lots of options, in fact, I kept clicking randomly and never saw a repeat. The instructors change outfits with each lesson.

looks like it should be a room in VRchat not good enough to be its own game. great idea and you can probably learn something from it but the execution is very bad. It’s not just the sloppy amateur looking graphics. Even the lessons are painful to sit through because the interface is clunky and lacking features.

Shooty Skies Overdrive
The VR version of the free2play title. There is so much colour! And so many things to unlock! VR really helps the mechanics shine as you feel like a kid playing with a toy aeroplane! Absolute Insanity!
– Real player with 10.6 hrs in game
Have you ever pretended your hand is a plane/spaceship and zoomed it around going “pew! pew!” blowing up bad guys? Ever play a “bullet hell” game and thought it might be cool in full VR? Shooty Skies Overdrive let’s you play pretend again, and shows just how cool it can be. There are Power Ups to give your off-hand things to do (with full right/left handed support) and difficulty levels that live up to the name “Overdrive.” Progression, checkpoints and gameplay unlocks help keep things fresh, and let’s you tweak numbers to get the Power Ups you prefer. Nothing hugely sophisticated, but varied and hectic enough to keep me coming back for more. Bright but low-fi graphics means it runs like silk, even with a million bullets in your face.
