Black Hat Cooperative
Oh man this is a fun and great game. I first thought I’d get motion sickness from using a controller and moving without moving but I didn’t. I really really hope they come out with more levels and even a level editor to create your own. Would pay for map packs for this game and even new traps and such. It’s a great team building and couch coop game. Highly recommend it. I saw in the menus that is supports both controller and vive controllers, I played with a wireless xbox one controller for PC and it was great. The other person on the couch just needs a keyboard. Hacking the guards and doing a freeze or blind on them is definitely great as well. It’s fun for both players. Please make more levels!

Wonderful utilisation of a single PC for local co-op in VR.
Both roles - spy and hacker - were fun and engaging to play as. My partner and I would swap between levels so we could both have a really good go at doing both.
I’m a big fan of the locomotion style of movement though I did find myself only using the one controller (forwards/strafe) and just looking around to change direction. It’d be cool if the Spy had more things to interact with in the game world.
I’d love it if something like this got a level editor so we could design and share our own maps to challenge ourselves and others!

Lights, Camera, Reaction!
VR + WarioWare + Jackbox + Platformer + Optional Multiplayer + Insanity = LCR.
Like all VR games there is a learning curve, but once we got the hang of it the game it was pretty fun. I personally like the reaction mode because the objectives are so random. Some are serious and straight forward, while others are comical and completely off the wall. You really don’t know what to prepare for next. I also can’t believe I found a game that features a co-op hipster run, complete with mustaches, pony tails, and PBR. It’s definitely quirky, but if you like good challenge, and a good laugh, than you’ll probably like the game.

Edit: Game currently does work for quest 2 after a patch. The game feels pretty early access, but theres still fun to be had. The games have a few bugs which cost you lives which is unfortunate, also some things are just straight weird like throwing grenades and just hoping they’ll blow up before you lose a life.
Don’t buy if your playing on a quest 2. You literally can’t get past the boot up screen. It loads, shows you a drape then you go to space and can’t do anything else. No reply in the disucssions about whats going on so I’d avoid this game as it already appears abandoned too.

Eye in the Sky
If you have someone around to play this with… friend, spouse, kid, whatever… get this game!
Caveats:
-
People who are not very experienced with computer games in general should probably play in VR. The PC controls can be tricky if you are not used to them and it might get frustrating. If both players are gamers, you are sure to have a blast regardless!
-
There is no controller support. The PC player has to play with keyboard and mouse or you somehow get a controller to emulate the keyboard (as is possible with the Steam Controller, not sure about others).

Underrated game!!!
This game is fun! Good coop puzzles. I like the unique “industrial” look. I like the tiny robot!
I played with a Quest 2 + Virtual Desktop + Parsec (for coop) + Discord. Everything worked perfectly.
So the VR player is a flying sphere, which can interact with objects, but only within a limited space. The other player on the PC is a tiny robot that can go in most places the VR player cannot. They have to work together so that the tiny robot can get to the exit.
I like the way the game is explained to you. In fact, you sort of understand everything without a lot of explanation. It is rather intuitive. You can talk to your friend to figure things out together.

Operation Armstrong
Great party game.
Just played for 5 hours straight with 3 people, taking turns and replaying the odd level. We got just under 2/3 of the way through the campaign I think. With more people, there’s a good amount of replayability, as people can take turns to be in the headset, but probably not heaps of replay value beyond that at the moment, because of the linear nature of the puzzles (not a criticism, as that is to be expected with this style of game).
Amusingly, we played all of that (except for the odd level which we skipped) using just the mobile screens and not the screen on the PC which contains a lot more information than the mobile screens, as we only discovered when we were packing up that there’s actually also a display on the PC which has the extra info. Despite that, it was heaps of fun and a real challenge. Occasionally the challenge “jump” felt a bit extreme, but in hindsight, this is probably because we weren’t using the computer screen!!

SMUSH.TV - Competitive VR x PC Action
Really enjoyed getting into this game with some friends. Allows a great opportunity to showcase VR and makes me hopeful to see more interesting and unique ideas for the platform. Great variety in power-ups and song tempos provide a fantastic level of replayability, and as I have learned; a large deal of strategy. SMUSH.TV really ramps up as you and your friends put more time into it and learn some of the intricacies of the game. Highly recommend this game to anyone with a VR Headset.

i’ve only played one session so far but it was an amazing time. my experience? i played on my LIVE twitch stream with a friend controlling the blocks via remote play on Parsec. i also had beta access to some twitch integration features that allowed my twitch chat to become active players and participants via twitch chat. they were able to use !commands to activate special abilities that were working against me. it was a truely remarkable experience, a very fun time and i can’t wait to see where this game goes, as well as where this functionality pushes VR gaming into the future.

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.

Fimbul Winter VR
Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/M-g45w1M1i4
This just isn’t a well-made game. I experienced several bugs during my playtime of only 37 minutes. I had to tap out after enduring every single minute of this game. It’s not just buggy, it lacks overall polish, & it’s just not fun to play. I will give the developer credit for being ambitious and trying to create something new for VR. A horror game with some depth. Unfortunately, either the inexperience or the lack of time put into the project are apparent.

Tsuro - The Game of The Path - VR Edition
Loved it… After some 1 hour playing…. It´s great board game. Didn´t tried the original one. But this VR version is awesome. Very easy to play. Quite difficult to beat. Totally recomended to relax with your VR visor. Played on Oculus Quest 2. Standing up and seated down.

Automata Break
An excellent VR game. It’s pretty immersive, very strategical and skill rewarding, smooth locomotion doesn’t get you dizzy and playing it with a friend in Multiplayer (PC/VR) makes for a lot of time of fun without you both having to own a VR headset.

This is a truly awesome game! If you like Tower Defense games at all, you have to get this one. Not only can you play with the help of someone else on your computer, you can play alone in VR.
I really like how the VR player can actually go from tabletop Tower Defense, and get immersed in the action by transforming into the map, and help your towers fight the invaders.
My only complaint thus far is even in normal difficulty, it is still very difficult to progress to the different stages. I hope the developer gives the old guys like me an Easy version soon. Awesome graphics as well at a great price of less than $20.

Click and Relax
Just no
– Real player with 0.1 hrs in game
Well… it’s something.
The game only has 5 “game modes” which consist of something non-sensical and boring, there isn’t really anything “relaxing” or satisfying about them. The music cannot be adjusted and is pretty loud. Honestly it just feels like a school project from 2005 done by two students that just served to be presented infront of a class and then forgotten. Definetly not worth the money, I got it from a steam gift
