Containment Initiative
I’m a big fan of zombie shooters, and so I offered to help test the game when the dev was looking for feedback.
Containment Initiative’s big differentiating feature from other zombie shooters is the gunplay mechanics, in particular the reloading. You get the same pressure as in other games with zombies coming at you, but now you have to manage working your gun correctly, and it seems so perfectly suited for VR. A few other VR games are going this direction, but this is the first time I think that it’s been applied to a zombie shooter.

I was a bit skeptic about this game at first, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was. I originally was just looking for a co-op game to play with my friend and it really delivered. The ability for a friend to play as a support unit on the PC screen was a pretty clever mechanic that I really appreciated. My favorite game mode is scavenge since you can move around and explore. There’s not a huge variety of weapons and enemies, but I didn’t expect anything crazy. The story isn’t amazing either, but it follows a progression that leads up to a post where you have to get a sample of the virus to find a cure. I hope to see this game develop more or more games that follow this co-op mechanic.

Late For Work
This game is fun for the whole family. If you have multiple kids who love VR but can’t play many of the games due to content/multiplayer then this may be your game. Now given it’s in it’s early stages it doesn’t feel complete but I have not run into any major bugs. In my opinion at it’s core, is a solid, fun, game idea that I hope gets future updates.
The graphics are in a basic polygon style and it runs smooth on a GTX 980 with no problems for any players. The game play for the PC players take me back to N64 days in terms of graphics and controlling the tanks/planes (I mean this in a fun way).

Late for work is great fun with friends! I played maybe 20 minutes single player and it wasn’t anything amazing in my opinion but when I got together with friends we played for hours without stopping and that is where the game really shines. My favorite mode by far is last man standing where players pick up powerups to enable them to turn into random items in the environment to hide from the gorilla.
I would highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a fun local co op vr game.. I plan on playing this a ton in the future. If I were to rate this game in its current state I would give it a 8/10 which is pretty amazing since it is still in development, I imagine that score will only go up. My only wish is that they added better AI for single player and more game modes and maps but im sure that more will come with time.

Takelings House Party
Picked this up as it’s one of the few asymmetrical VR games out there. Ultimately, it’s probably the best VR game you could play with friends. The concept is genius and it’s always a fun time when you’re chasing down your friends. It’s fun to replay the levels and there’s a few items/objects to spice things up.
The major downside to this game is simply the content. There’s only 3 levels, and while they’re all fun, I wish there was many many more. This game is so good you just want there to be tons and tons of levels. It only takes maybe an hour to pretty much see all there is to this game. I’ve still got 5x that, purely on replay-ability.

We’re a family of 5, ages 6+, and this game is quite a LOT of fun! Yes, it’s only got 3 levels…but to give everyone a chance to play every level in VR just once…that’s 15 rounds across 5 people! This game is NOT overpriced, and will be a family-game-night staple in our household as-is, but I WOULD NOT suggest it with fewer players - this is a PARTY game.
The kitchen level is really really good, though. The attic is really fun while the wall-breaking is really difficult. I suspect that they only get better with more players.

Traffic Jams
Wow!!! I didn’t really do much research on this game before launch day and it looked fun enough in the trailers. I decided to play it on stream and it was a ton of fun and created a lot of fun interaction with chat. This definitely made it towards the top of my fun VR games to play!
I was really concerned about how the multiplayer worked and couldn’t get alot of verified information on it at the time of researching. But basically everytime you clear a level it opens that level up to being able to be played in multiplayer. Then whenever you start a multiplayer game the people that want to join will go to the website trafficjams.app and will be given a 4 letter code to type in, once they are in they then have an overview of the map and can fanatically tap on different things to create chaos on the streets.

A nice party game, good for showing vr to starters.
You are a street traffic regulator and only need 2 commands to make the traffic flow the way you would like. You point out a vehicle or person with one hand, and either raise your hand palm to them to make them stop or wave your palm towards you to make them move (faster). There are some fun situations that make your job more interesting, like mini games whille regulating traffic. Your aim is to get the highest score. You can also make hand gestures to characters, and they respond back, but that is only a gimmic that doesn’t influence the overal game flow.

Pipe Dreamin' VR: The Big Easy
A clever combination of VR puzzle games and VR climbing games.
– Real player with 6.0 hrs in game
I was a fan of the old 2D puzzlers Pipe Mania and Pipe Dream, and this is a worthy VR successor. If you can tolerate a few minor imperfections and you are driven by steam achievements then it’s a fun 2.5 hours of 3D puzzling. For some strange reason it started as a slide show and I had to turn my SteamVR resolution down to 1700 x 1700 before my RTX 3060ti would make 90 fps on my Vive Pro 2, yet it still looked full resolution.

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/mc2Pq2MpqWw
This is one of the worst VR mini-game collections that I have ever played. It currently consists of 5 mini-games and I was able to play 4 of them. Unfortunately, they were all very primitive with repetitive gameplay, ugly visuals, and poor interactions. Also, I think this game has the ugliest looking UI I have ever seen in VR.
About the only good thing I can say about this collection is that the gun seemed accurate in the range shooting. Also, the game ran fine on my RTX 3080 at a steady 90 frames per second. You do need a pretty big room-scale to play this game as there is no locomotion (no teleportation, free locomotion, or smooth / snap turning). Game is running on the Unity Engine.

Darkness Rollercoaster - Ultimate Shooter Edition
Decent game ! Very funny and very impressive virtual reality game, the immersion is real and intensive.
It feels pretty good to play it alone or with some friends.
The game is still in an early BETA access and I’m not disappointed at all, I highly recommend this game for virtual reality amateurs and to be honnest he’s pretty cheap for a virtual reality game !

In VR I particularly like good coaster rides and also shooters. So with Darkness Rollercoaster you have a combination of both genres. So far have played for several hours, and generally pleased with the quality and value, particularly considering the developers to their credit appear pro-active with quick resolution of an initial problem (blockage on Fantasy track) and promise of more to come.
What I like about this game is the variety of environments, the explore ‘no guns’ modes, the random generated tracks, and the overall fun provided. The Adventure tracks is particularly good, the Fantasy not too far behind, the Binary and Space lands providing a different less coaster ride feel. Incidentally thought the Binary City amazing, and would welcome expansion of this element. For the future developers may wish to consider adding further themes along the lines of an undersea dark cavernous track, an Indiana Jones style jewel mine track, or an indoor huge ghost manor (light) horror themed track.

Pizza Master VR
Multiplayer review only (I haven’t played single player because my wife and I play this together) Let me start off the review by saying that I enjoy the game, and will continue to play it. It’s a fun communication and VR asymmetric/local co-op pizza making and serving experience. The difficulty and progression system is hard and unbalanced. My wife and I also play the diner duo (another great game), but this game almost feels like the dark souls pizza version. I’ll list the grievances in bullets below:

This game is a mountain of fun with a friend. The interaction between the two roles is a blast, and in the later levels the difficulty ramps up and things get hectic! I have not played SP, but for Co-op this game is a must have. The game gets difficult enough that it really feels like a challenge and requires strategy from both players.
There are some issues. The knife collision with the meats is off at times, sometimes not cutting or sending the meat flying and spawning a new block. The knife also likes to start a new level in random places, which is a bit annoying. Grabbing pizza can sometimes grab ingredients instead, and sometimes ingredients will randomly fall of the pizza causing incorrect orders.

Matrix Blocks
Very fun game, start a little slow, good for kids and training ;) but after some levels the fun starts, I liked the shape that make you turn and move your arm and body. I suggest to developer to include new peaces formats for the next levels and custom songs, but it’s nice I recommend it
