I just got back from Gamescom, one of the biggest gaming conventions in Europe and there
we got to try so many VR games, that we didn’t have time to try them all.
But today, I’ll include my impressions of what I tried in this video about 26 new upcoming
games for Quest 2 and future VR headsets, and I’ll also share some updates of games
I’ve mentioned before at the end.
Subscribe if you haven’t yet, and as a thank you, I’m giving away a 100-dollar Oculus
Store code so you can buy any game you want.
All you need to do is comment below what game you’re looking forward to the most.
And now, let’s get started; join me beyond reality.
Don’t forget to leave me a like!
As a thank you, here’s a picture of my cat.
On number 1 is Interkosmos 2000.
A space simulator and adventure game by Ovid Works.
You find yourself in a realistic space capsule, and you’ve got to master the systems that
keep you in orbit and breathing.
Only the fate of the world depends on you not to screw up . It looks like the game intentionally
puts you in total chaos, but one that’s going to put a smile on your face—the game
releases in September this year.
Another great studio that makes you laugh is Google’s Owlchemy Labs.
They teased a new multiplayer VR game built from the ground up for... hand tracking!
Their trailer is a huge teaser as it doesn’t show any gameplay, just some girl picking
up something with her hands and trying to eat it while grossing out other girls.
But the studio calls it their most ambitious project yet.
And we know hand tracking will be a big deal on future VR headsets, so it seems like this
could be made with that in mind.
Genotype is an upcoming sci-fi game for Quest 2.
The devs gave us an EXCLUSIVE reveal just for this video and I’m excited to share
it!
In this game you’re in an Antarctic research base taken over by an alien life-form.
To escape, you have to use a device called the GRAID, that allows you to 3D print live
creatures and use them to advance.
This could mean possessing a small animal to get into tight spaces or using a beetle’s
pincers to cut cables.
Just to name a few.
I think this looks quite unique and awesome to use already.
Keep in mind that the footage you’re seeing right now is still in its early stages, but
I look forward to its announcement in early 2023.
On number 4 is Townscaper VR.
This is a cozy, city builder game where you use your controllers to plop down cute homes,
roads, and other pieces to create your own little village.
There’s no objective outside of this.
It’s kind of like playing with LEGO without choosing the pieces, and it’s meant to be
relaxing and chill.
It got terrific reviews on flatscreen and is now coming to Quest and Pico headsets soon.
EVERSLAUGHT is getting a Quest 2 version, and it’s almost the same as the PC VR version.
It’s about quick arcade action but with weighty, impactful combat and hordes of undead
enemies.
You can even hookshot your way through the map while you clear the world from the Corrupted.
I tried it during Gamescom the game felt similar to the SteamVR version except it has 2-player
co-op now, which I think is a great addition.
It’s releasing in early 2023.
Number 6.
Deisim.
This popular god-game on SideQuest is now getting an official launch on the Quest 2
store.
If you love building your own world from scratch and guiding humanity from stone age to modern
era and beyond, this is a title for you.
Personally, I loved the demo I played years ago, so I’m excited to see what’s new
in this sandbox game.
It’s coming out somewhere in September this year.
From the devs of Sairento comes Hellsweeper VR, a roguelike combat game in a fantasy hell-ish
world where you are an undead immortal tasked to eliminate the twisted souls of the underworld.
It has gesture-controlled magic spells that you can combine into powerful spells, you’ve
got the ability to slow time, plus there are no movement limits.
There’s a lot to this game which I tried it at Gamescom, and while I loved the variety,
I’m a little worried about the combat part as hitting enemies felt a bit bland, but I
only had like 15 minutes with it, so I’ll definitely check it out more when it releases
in quarter 4 of this year.
COMPOUND, a tough-as-nails rogue-lite and one of the best-rated VR games on Steam, is
coming to Quest 2.
I don’t know why but I just love any pixel-artstyle games, and COMPOUND is also just really really
fun.
It should launch somewhere this year.
On Number 9 is Broken Edge.
A fantasy dueling game where you become historical swordfighters.
What you do is stepping back and forth while you fight your opponent using unique weapons
and techniques but you’ve got to master the character and its martial arts style to
climb the ranks.
I also tried this one at Gamescom, and I thought it was challenging to master, but I think
it’d be extremely fun to try.
It’s coming this Fall.
But you know what else is great?
Surfshark VPN.
A big thanks for their continued support by sponsoring today’s video!
In this age where we do everything online, you NEED a VPN.
Whether you’re surfing websites or just on Instagram / Tiktok, you’re sharing a
lot of private data.
Surfshark VPN keeps you safe and private by covering up everything you do online.
Kinda like a mask.
This way, unauthorized people cannot see what you’re doing or where you’re doing it.
You can also use it to get past geo-blocks!
Maybe a movie on Netflix isn’t available in your country or your gosvernment is restricting
you from accessing a website?
A VPN can help with that.
I’ve been using Surfshark for two years now because of its competitive pricing and
it’s been great.
So check it out with our link in the description!
Enter our promo code for 83% off and three extra months free!
There’s also a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you don’t like it, you can just cancel
it Let’s continue with We Are One is a personal
fav of the ones I tried at Gamescom.
It surprised me as it looks like a simple plant shooter, but it’s so creative because
you’re playing with time loops and clones of yourself to solve mind-bending challenges.
The game has you plan ahead to cooperate with yourself, and it gets messy.
When I played it, I saw myself do things that I never noticed how stupid it was.
I had a good laugh, and I did not want to stop playing.
The game has no release date yet, but the devs mentioned adding a level editor for unlimited
playtime after release.
And there’s a free demo you can check out now.
On number 11.
We can finally strap on the proton pack and hunt ghosts in Ghostbusters VR.
The trailer doesn’t tell us much yet except that we’ll wield iconic equipment to trap,
track, and blast ghosts plus, you can play in single-player and four-player co-op!
This action adventure has no release date yet, but it’s expected in 2023.
Into The Radius is a single-player survival shooter.
It’ll be similar to the SteamVR version.
You’re in the same infected zone cut from the outside world.
To find your way out, you must explore the Radius and get to its center, but it’s dangerous
and swarming with deadly anomalies.
So you have to look for ways to survive.
I played the PC VR version and enjoyed it, so it’s great seeing it come out on Quest
in September as well.
Now this is a hard name.
Dyschronia: Chronus Alternate is a new adventure game by MyDearest.
At first, I thought it’d be more like their previous game Tokyo Chronos, which I enjoyed,
but it was a visual novel without much interaction.
However, I was surprised at Gamescom when they showed me a demo, and it’s actually
a full-fledged game.
The same visual novel elements are in there, but it’s much more interactive.
You’ll be walking around, exploring and solving puzzles that feels like little escape
rooms.
If you love anime, this is the game to watch and it releases on September 22nd.
If you ever want to play Cornhole without going to a fair, then ForeVR Cornhole is the
game for you.
There are 50 plus unique bags, boards, and 5 halls to explore.
I’m not sure if this game is for me, but this could fit right in with the other casual
arcade game simulations.
It’s coming out somewhere next week.
Now here’s one I’m really excited about!
Final Fury brings the classic arcade fighting games to VR!
It’s by the devs behind Synth Riders, so it has the same kind of colorful futuristic
style, and it looks active!
I’ve been curious about what a Street Fighter game in VR could look like, so maybe this
one will show that!
It’s set to release in 2023.
What The Bat?
Is by the creators of the flat game What the Golf, and if you’ve played that one, it’s
exactly the kind of silly physics-based title you can expect.
But this time around it’s in VR and you’ll have baseball bats for hands, and you’ll
use them for every random possible scenario you can think of.
They were showing this game off at Gamescom.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to try it, but I’ve had people telling me
it’s really good, so keep an eye on this when it releases on Quest 2 and SteamVR this
year.
Number 17, yes, we’re almost done here.
Is Next Player Please!
This is a VR party game that you play with friends by passing on the headset around the
table.
It offers easy-to-learn minigames like a firefly catcher and fishing.
Interesting concept, but I’m not sure if there’s a market for this, and it doesn’t
look very polished.
But we’ll have to wait and see.
Right now, there’s no release date yet, but you can sign up for the beta.
The Chewllers is a tower defense game with four-player co-op.
Players will stand on top of the tower, defending it from hordes all around.
At first, I was worried it would only be a wave shooter, but it looks like you can upgrade
weapons and repair your tower between waves which adds some fun mechanics.
There is no release date yet.
The Last Worker is a first-person narrative adventure centered around our struggle in
an increasingly automated world.
I’m not sure if this is an interactive game yet or more like an experience, but the artstyle
looks impressive, and coming from devs that have made some pretty good horror games, I
expect this to be good as well.
No release date yet but it should be somewhere this year.
GAZZLERS is a VR shooter full of insanity and chaos.
In the lands of Ginkgo, you have the ability to build weapons to face hordes of GAZZLERS,
which are these crazy aliens who can apparently ride any vehicle they want.
The game is a rogue-lite, so every run has new things for you to discover.
So far, I love its artstyle and comedic approach.
It’ll launch this year on Quest 2 and SteamVR.
Now this one sounds interesting.
Killer Frequency is a horror-comedy set in the 1980s mid-American town.
You’re a radio host and a serial killer is on the loose, looking to kill your beloved
radio listeners.
I’m a giant horror baby, but I’d love a Scary Movie type of game.
Although looking at the trailer, it does look way more horror than I’d dare to play...
:’) It’s coming this year on Quest 2 and SteamVR.
On number 22 is Librarium.
Not a game but a study aid!
In this app, you can create a memory palace for better long-term memory retention.
I always thought VR would be a perfect medium to learn.
Unfortunately, I’m no longer studying, so you guys let me know if this helps when it
releases on Quest 2 in September this year.
Gambit a new 4-player campaign driven VR shooter in a world of gangs, guns, and mayhem.
You can play it single-player too, but it looks the most fun in multiplayer.
I love how it looks so far, plus it comes from the developers of Zero Caliber, so I
expect it to be good.
Gambit is coming somewhere this year on Quest 2 and Steam.
Pathcraft is a 90s classics-inspired puzzle platformer that you can play with your controllers
or hand tracking.
Basically, you have to guide your tiny friend, who moves forward mindlessly, to the next
level by placing blocks and solving puzzles.
I’ve tried this game during Gamescom, and while it looks simple, the game becomes bigger
and can get really challenging.
It’s set to release somewhere this year.
On 25 we got Propogation: Paradise Hotel.
A sequel to the VR horror game Propogation VR.
The trailer doesn’t say much yet, but it looks like a single-player, atmospheric game
where you must find your way out of a creepy hotel filled with the undead.
All we know so far is that you’ll have limited weapons because the devs wanted to focus on
handling objects.
Plus sometimes running away and hiding may be wiser.
It should be out later this year on Quest 2.
If you’ve ever dreamed of piloting helicopters, then HeliSquad: Covert Operations might be
a game for you.
The trailer doesn’t show much except for one of the helicopters we can expect to fly.
It’s from the devs of Warplanes, though, which was received well, so I hope this game
to be similar.
No release date yet, but it’ll come on Quest 2, Pico, and other major VR headsets.
That was the list, but a few games I’ve mentioned before have some cool updates.
So I’ll talk about this quickly.
It’s been awesome seeing the news on Bonelab, the Quest 2 version of Boneworks.
One of the devs has been sharing a lot of its features, primarily the focus on mapping
your real-life body to match in-game, like you can finetune your height, chest, and even
your under-bust, waist, hips, wingspan, and inseam to make the game as immersive as possible.
The hype is real.
The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 Retribution had a showing at Gamescom.
All I can say is that the chainsaw mechanics is epic, and I cannot wait to play it.
The stealth game Espire 2 is releasing in November, and I’ve had a hands-on during
Gamescom!
I will be sharing more about this one in a later video, but for now, I can say I love
what they’ve done with it
Ultimechs is really fun, and it will be free to play on September 15th.
Definitely check it out, then.
Peaky Blinders VR looks like it’s reaching a release date too.
I haven’t played it yet, but more news on this next month.
Unfortunately, still no new updates on Among Us VR, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and Assassin’s
Creed.
But we do know that Splinter Cell VR was sadly canceled....
*Sadface* Now, more games are coming, but I’m not
allowed to mention it yet.
For now, all I can say, it’s going to be an exciting year, and once I can share more,
I’ll post it immediately!
