Here are the top 6 games I think you should try on the Meta Quest 2.
#6 First Steps. Now hold on, I know some of you who already have a Quest may be slightly
outraged I even put this one on the list, but for everyone I’ve introduced VR to with the Quest,
I’ve used this free app. Its much better at walking you through the basics with your
controllers, how to grip items and interact with objects in VR, and it won't make you motion sick,
which some VR games can easily do. And you’ll be able to tell how likely that
is by the rating in the Quest store. Plus with this app you get to dance with an alien,
and watching someone do that with a headset on is always very entertaining.
#5. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. If you've opened up a Quest 2 with others
around and you want everyone to be able to participate in the fun. This is definitely
a game to try out. It’s $14.99 and how it works is the person with the headset on is
in charge of diffusing a bomb before the clock runs out. They have to describe the
different puzzles around the bomb to the other players in the room who will look at a pdf on
their phones and try to guid the person through successfully defusing the bomb.
#4 Super Natural. If you got a Quest to have fun with but also you were curious
about working out with it, Supernatural is an excellent workout app for the Quest.
It’s kinda like if Peleton made a VR app. There’s different experiences to try,
good music to work out to and different coaches to help push you to the next limit. The only downside
is it costs $19.99 a month but you can sign up for a free trial to see if it’s worth it to you.
For me, it was fun to try, but I get just as much enjoyment and more importantly,
just as much of a cardio workout, from the game that takes my number one spot. But
before we get to that one, let's take a look at the game that takes the number three spot.
Vader Immortal. This game immerses you in the world of Star Wars, bringing you face to face
with Vader himself and holy &%#$, is he tall. And yes, you do get to wield a lightsaber. This
game is the perfect showcase for VR game storytelling. And I've never come closer
to feeling like a real life Jedi Knight. And if star wars isn't your thing but Marvel is,
there's a new Iron Man game out for the Quest that's a similar concept. It's just
more expensive than the first Vader Immortal game, which is why it didn't make my list.
#2 I expect you to die - this game places the person wearing the Quest in a variety
of sticky situations as a British spy. You have to try and get out of these
situations successfully and not die -which don’t worry, that will still happen a lot.
What's really fun about this game is it's incredibly entertaining to watch somebody
else play and it's a great game to cast the game footage from the Quest headset to either a Google
Chromecast or cast-enabled TV. And you can do this right from within the Quest 2 settings menu.
It's also a fun game to play and watch because there's actually more than one
way to get out of each situation. Now, before we get to the game,
that takes my number one spot. If you're more of a console gamer,
there are a few i'd recommend checking out like Resident Evil, NFL Pro Era, and Blade and Sorcery.
Now, if this is your first experience with a VR headset, I would personally
recommend staying with experiences and games that keep you stationary, do that first,
and then work your way up to games that involve more and more movement. This
should hopefully mitigate any scenarios where you're going to feel a lot of motion sickness.
Also, while many games don’t have free trials, if you purchase a game and end up not liking it,
you can request a refund. As of this recording, Meta’s return policy is that you can ask for a
refund for apps you purchase if you’ve used the app for less than 2 hours and
you’ve requested a refund less than 14 days after you’ve purchased that app.
Alright, and taking the #1 spot, you could already probably guess by now,
it's Beat Saber. This is the game that brings keeps me coming back to my Quest time and time
again. It turns your controllers into lightsabers as you slash through boxes timed to music from
artists like Lizzo, Lady Gaga, Panic at the Disco, Billie Eilish, and the Weeknd,
and many others. It’s fun to play by yourself as a nice cardio exercise, with friends to compete
to see who can get the best score, and you can also play it online with friends as well.
