let's first of all start off with the first game
which is my favourite multiplayer games so far
and it's even better because
I'm pretty sure this is still 100% free
and that is Echo VR.
Echo VR is basically the game
that you see being played in the film called Ender's Game,
but with a few tweaks.
Essentially it's a four versus four
and you work as a team to throw your Frisbee
through the opponents goal, but in space.
What makes this so good is
that you do get to move around a lot.
As you twist and turn and catch the Frisbee
and defend the goal or,
or boost off your teammates to get there
before the other team does.
But this game is honestly a genuine pleasure to play
and makes the most out of the fully wireless experience
that you get with the Quest and the Quest 2.
You can team up with friends,
chat openly or practise with the fun physics
in the lobby before getting started into a proper game.
It is well worth trying.
The next game is my favourite shooter
and that goes to Robo Recall,
which was a game that I actually first played on the Quest 1
but it is just so good.
Like Echo VR,
Robo Recall can make such good use of a space,
providing you have a space,
that is just so immersive.
You know, you can literally walk around
pick up objects and robots, guns off the floor.
The most fun I've had with this
is in the garden where there's so much more space,
but as you might know where the Quest,
you can't really use it outdoors unless it's overcast
and you know, it's the sun just blows out the cameras
on this thing and makes it completely unusable but
if you can go play outside,
so much fun.
But with Robo Recall, you run, teleport
and just shoot your way through varying difficulties
of levels and upgrading your gear along the way.
The way you can literally move and dodge bullets
and even catch bullets mid-air,
throwing them back at your enemies,
it can really just leave you breathless lots of the time.
There is a great mix of action
and a little bit of comedy mixed in
just to keep the game kind of feeling fresh
and fun and entertaining.
And next we are onto Fitness,
which I actually got completely blasted for
in my last video because,
apparently people don't use this for fitness,
but I would completely argue that
fitness is one of the best selling points on the Quest
and on the Quest 2.
Everyone is locked in their homes,
at least here in the UK,
gyms are closed,
it's far too cold outside to go and do things outside,
so what's better than using this thing to at least keep fit.
And in honesty, it is a tough choice for Fitness
to be honest, because there's just such a huge variety
of games for fitness.
Fit XR is probably my favourite for a workout
because this mixture of music and boxing
and squatting and stuff
It's great but, for me personally,
it does get old after a while playing same tracks.
But for a pure workout thing, it is fantastic.
After Fit XR then something like
Thrill of the Fight is awesome
You have a more realistic boxing experience which
actually gets you moving around your space
as you try and beat your opponent.
Now this hasn't yet gotten boring for me
as it's been a fairly new purchase,
but I can see that
perhaps when you reach the end of the game, so to speak,
then you might just be running out of things to do
and playing you know, the same fights again and so on.
But the one that hasn't ever gotten boring to me,
even after playing it for over a year,
is probably the staple that everyone should at least try
when they get their VR headset is Beat Sabre.
Beat Sabre is by far one of the best games on VR.
Did you ever play Rock Band
or maybe Guitar Hero on other consoles?
It's basically a VR version of that.
And in the newer release version of Beat Sabre,
they have 360 degree maps,
which make you twist and turn
to slash all of the notes in the right direction
in time with the music
and with difficulty ranging from easy to super expert,
then you'll be sure to find a level that suits you.
Now, what takes Beat Sabre to the next level,
for me at least,
is that you can upload your own tracks into Beat Sabre
and play them till your heart's content.
This and I think this alone is
the one reason why Beat Sabre hasn't ever been boring to me,
because if you take a look at bsaber.com,
the website bsaber.com,
there is an endless supply of tracks
which people have mapped out for use play.
Now, if you do want a video about how to do this,
then do let me know in the comments below
and if I get enough requests, I'll make a video
and drop the link in you know, comments down below.
But the short version
is that you connect your headset to the computer,
instal an app called SideQuest
and then you use that to kind of crack the game.
I mean, it's not a crack, it's not illegal,
but as it's not something that game developers can allow
on the Quest directly,
you need to basically just use this other tool to do so,
So but yeah, for me being able to find
any song to play has been fantastic
and on fitness,
well, if you can keep up with some of the tracks on expert
at 360 degrees, then you'll get a great workout too.
And lastly, this brings me onto my favourite Quest Link game,
which I know is a bit out there
because it's not something you can download
directly onto your headset but, just hear me out.
Using a Quest Link cable,
which is basically a cable that you connect
from your headset to your PC,
you can pretty much play any VR game from your PC
onto Quest 2 headsets.
Now, if you want to know the best cable to buy for that,
then check out this video because,
surprise!
You don't need to spend the ridiculous amount
on the official cable anymore.
But my pick here is the best Quest Link game,
is Half-Life: Alyx.
It is by far the best produced,
most interactive game that I've played so far on VR.
The graphics are fantastic,
because of course, you're using all the power from your PC
and not the headset directly,
but you can pretty much interact with
anything else in environment you know,
cups and chairs and doors
and the control systems they have for selecting weapons
and upgrading them and just the overall gameplay is,
is just incredible.
It also gives Five Nights at Freddy's
a bit have a run for its money for scaring yourself,
because when you're in pitch black
and you can hear one of these like Face Huggers
crawling around near you
and all you have is like a torch and a pistol,
It can make you super, super anxious, believe me.
Overall, Half-Life: Alyx
is the game that we've all been waiting for
in the Half-Life series.
You know, it's not quite Half-Life 3,
but it is not far off to be honest
and the end will give you
a bit of an insight into what's coming next,
but I won't share that because
well, spoiler alerts but,
otherwise the only thing left to say about Alyx
is that the game is a really good length,
so you won't finish it too quickly
and I do honestly believe it's worth the price
to buy this game.
There you have it for my top recommendations

and therefore the Oculus Quest 2.
