Hello fellow adventurers.
With E3 just ended this week, many new VR games were announced!
So here are 20 of our favorite upcoming PC VR games that we want to play... straight away.
If only that was possible...
Let’s just get started!
#1 Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency is the sequel
to Budget Cuts.
Budget Cuts is set in a robotic future where it seems like humanity is being optimized
out of existence.
As a human yourself, you want to do something about this.
Last time you escaped the TransCorp office just in time, but it wasn’t over.
So in this sequel, the story continues.
Budget Cuts is a stealth VR game that you can play slow or fast.
In this new game there will be new environments, enemies, gadgets and challenges.
If you haven’t played Budget Cuts before, we recommend doing it, but the devs say you
can also play this game without playing the first one.
Get ready because if it’s anything like the first one, it will get intense!
#2 Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot is a VR game by Bethesda.
It’s set in 1980.
You are the best hacker living in Paris and your mission is to help the French resistance
against the Nazis in an alternate universe where they have won the 2nd World War.
As a hacker, you can turn their own war machines against them.
You will take control of a variety of different robots and mechs.
There isn’t much info on the gameplay yet, it looks like a shoot ‘em up game from the
trailer, but visually it does look good.
#3 BattleWake Survios, the developers of Sprint Vector and
Raw Data is coming with a new game called BattleWake!
This is a seafaring combat game where you will play as a Pirate Lord!
You’ll captain a massive battle ship while engaging in epic sea wars.
This is going to be an interesting one.
I mean...
Look at that Kraken!
#4 The Walking Dead: Onslaught VR And that wasn’t all, Survios announced another
game they will be releasing this year.
The Walking Dead: Onslaught VR.
In the game, you become one of the survivors and a lot of the weapons from the show will
be made available to you.
Think about crossbows and samurai swords.
As fans of the series ourselves we are really looking forward to be immersed into this zombie
universe or actually, maybe we should brace ourselves instead.
#5 ABE VR Next on the list is ABE VR which is a new
horror game that is coming up!
And while we are horror babies, we still wanted to mention this one because this game is based
on a short film called ABE which was about a robot in search of love but without understanding
what it means.
This often made him do very twisted things.
A free VR experience based on this film was made after and it was one of our first VR
experiences ever we tried on the Oculus DK2 so it really has like a nostalgia feeling
to us now.
The same developers, are working on a new psychological horror game also based on this
film and it is really looking scary.
#6 Sniper Elite VR Sniper Elite is a tactical shooter game developed
by Rebellion.
They are releasing a VR version of the game this year, Rebellion’s first VR game actually.
The name says it already, in this game you become a sniper in the Italian resistance
fighting gainst the Nazis in World War II.
It is set prior to the events of the latest flat game Sniper Elite 4 in case you’ve
played it.
While the flat games were in 3rd person, the VR version will be in first person to make
it as immersive as possible.
It looks really cool to me, so I’m very curious to see what this game will be like.
#7 Pistol Whip Pistol Whip is a VR rhythm shooter by Cloudhead
Games, the developer of The Gallery.
It is a fast-paced game where it isn’t as important to accurately aim.
Rather it is more important to be able to react fast enough.
The developers say that it is like a combination of Beat Saber with Superhot.
It is a title that does not look like an ordinary game so we are definitely looking forward
to trying it out.
#8 BoneWorks BoneWorks is a narrative VR action adventure
by Stress Level Zero, the developers of Duck Hunt and Hover Junkers.
They are putting years of experience into this game and it looks like it is really paying
off.
The game features advanced experimental physics mechanics making it possible to do almost
any accurate interactions with the virtual objects.
Something we find important to make a VR game immersive, but it is also very hard to accomplish.
Judging from the trailer the mechanics look like something we haven’t seen before in
other VR games.
It also looks like it will fully make use of the finger tracking and capacitive controls
of the new Index Controllers.
I think this is going to be the game in 2019 to look out for.
#9 The Curious Tale Of Stolen Pets Now, on to a more relaxing game...
The Curious Tale of Stolen Pets is a cute adventure puzzle game by Fast Travel Games,
the developers of Apex Construct.
In this game you are tasked in helping your grandfather solve the mystery of the stolen
pets by exploring miniature worlds.
Every world is unique and full of interactions with cute characters and objects.
There are light puzzles to solve in every world without any time limits so you can explore
to your hearts content.
While you are watching this video, please leave a like if you found this video helpful
so far.
#10 Meat Fortress - An H3VR Update The next one is not a full game release, but
an update to an existing game called H3VR, short for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades.
A popular VR game among the VR community because of its very realistic gun mechanics.
Now, in accordance with Valve, they are adding an update called Meat Fortress.
Which is just like Team Fortress 2 except with hot dogs.
And it is also only single player.
If you haven’t tried out H3VR yet, I recommend it if you like trying out all kinds of different
virtual guns that feel pretty realistic.
#11 After The Fall After The Fall is a VR action first person
shooter with intense co-op gameplay from the creators of Arizona Sunshine.
In this game you have to survive together with up to four other players against a hostile
post-apocalyptic VR world.
As fans of the developers Vertigo Games, we are looking forward to seeing what their past
experience with VR will bring to this new game.
#12 Asgard’s Wrath Asgard’s Wrath is a mythical action adventure
game where you play as both a mortal hero and a living god.
It looks like it will be a big game with over 30 hours of gameplay including a story, deep
combat and lots of interaction and exploration.
An asynchronous multiplayer feature is also teased but there isn’t much info on this
yet.
We got excited for this game having tried out a combat demo during GDC this year.
The combat mechanics were very satisfying, and the graphics looked great.
If this game really becomes more than just a VR melee physics simulator, then we are
all in.
#13 Acron: Attack Of The Squirrels Acron: Attack Of The Squirrels is a game made
by the creators of Angry Birds VR.
This game is a local multiplayer party game where at least two players play on mobile
phones and the other player inside a VR headset.
The VR player will play as a tree that needs to protect the seeds of life, while the other
players play as thieving squirrels who want to steal the seeds.
This is looking like a fun game to play with friends.
#14 Doctor Who: The Edge of Time A VR game based on the popular TV show Doctor
Who where an eccentric, yet compassionate Time Lord travels through time and space to
solve problems and battle injustice.
In this game you join the doctor on a mission to save the universe.
You will be able to pilot the TARDIS, travel the universe and visit alien locations.
Very curious to see if this will be an interactive game or more an experience.
#15 Fujii Here’s a zen game called Fujii.
It is by the same developers as Cosmic Trip which we enjoyed a lot.
In Fujii you travel a serene, mystical journey through beautiful landscapes while growing
your own enchanted garden.
There will be watering, touching and interacting in musical ways with plants and creatures.
It looks like a game to just relax in and sometimes these are the kind of games we exactly
need after a long day of work.
#16 Phantom: Covert Ops Phantom: Covert Ops is an upcoming stealth
VR game by nDreams where your task is to avoid detection.
This game has an interesting locomotion mechanic, one that seems to work very well in VR.
The gameplay mostly evolves around manoeuvring a kayak by actually paddling like you would
in real life.
With this kayak you have to infiltrate a facility from the waterways.
There are various weapons at your disposal from a pistol to a SMG to a silenced rifle.
This game looks like an unique one that we can’t wait to see more of.
#17 No Man’s Sky VR No Man’s Sky is an action-adventure survival
game.
The game is built around exploration, survival, combat and trading in an infinite procedurally
generated universe.
The game has come a long way since its release.
At the beginning it received a lot of critiscism, but now the recent reviews are mostly positive.
This is why we are very excited to see a free VR update added.
We never played the game before, but now we definitely will!
#18 Pixel Ripped 1995 Pixel Ripped 1995 is a sequel to Pixel Ripped
1989 which was a game we enjoyed very much.
It was a nostalgic trip to the early days of gaming where you played videogames with
classic consoles.
The developers smartly made use of VR where many times you would transfer from a 3D world
to a 2D world and back.
You’ll also play a game inside a game.
It’s hard to explain so we recommend trying it yourself if you like retro gaming.
Not much info has been given on the new game yet, but if it’s anything like the first.
We can’t wait.
#19 Raccoon Lagoon Raccoon Lagoon does not have a trailer yet
but does have screenshots.
It looks like an adorable game where you have to help a group of sailors build a home on
an island.
Help with fishing, cooking, farming, mining, painting and themed decorations.
There is also a story to follow.
It looks like there will be a lot of stuff to do in this game and you don’t have to
do it alone!
You can play with a friend.
Chary and I love these kind of games, so we are very much looking forward to it already.
#20 Espire 1: VR Operative Last, but not least.
Another stealth VR game!
There is going to be a lot of these type of games this year, which we think is great.
It’s a nice change from the more intense action shooters.
Espire 1: VR Operative is pitched by the developers as the Goldeneye 007 meets Metal Gear Solid
VR game.
You play the role of an Espire agent, a drone operator of the future.
The player remotely controls the Espire 1 from far away, this drone mimics the players
movement with almost no latency.
It sounds interesting to me and as a fan of Metal Gear Solid, I can’t wait to try out
this game.
So.
Which of these games in this list is an insta buy for you?
And are there any games we’ve missed?
Let us know in the comments down below!
I think for me, definitely, BoneWorks because I want to check out its mechanics.
I love VR games with advanced mechanics, because those games are more immersive to me.
And also, Asgard’s Wrath.
Because I love mythical stories and art styles.
Yes, I’m a nerd like that.
