Start of a new year comes these kinds of lists.
We have for you today, my personal top 15 PC VR games of 2019.
Hello everyone, my name is Cas and I hope you’re all having an awesome day.
Usually, I don’t do these kinds of lists in any order, but I hope to help you more
in deciding what games to buy that you would actually like so we are going to do these
ordered lists more often or at least once a year.
Keep in mind that in this list today, we have VR games that are released in 2019 only.
If you want to know what my top games were in 2018, then check out the link in the description.
A quick note, in this video, I will let you know what VR headsets are officially supported
by every game.
For those that own the Oculus Quest: Recently, the Quest got Oculus Link support,
where you can use a USB cable to connect the Quest to a gaming PC.
This allows you to play PC VR games.
This is cool because now every game on this list that supports the Oculus Rift should
work with your Quest + Link combination.
So essentially, this list is almost for every VR gamer.
We are going to get started now.
But first, subscribe if you haven’t yet to let us update you on everything VR.
And now, join me beyond reality.
Number 15, Shadow Legend, an exploration RPG.
You go on a medieval crusade wielding various fantasy weapons that you unlock throughout
the game.
The game features fully voiced NPCs, and you can respond using voice recognition.
Many little interactions in this game will surprise you.
There's combat that includes blocking & parrying plus big boss battles to fight in different
medieval and gothic worlds.
So if that's your thing, then check this one out.
Number 14, Shadow Point, a story-driven puzzle game voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart.
Here, you try to uncover the mystery of a missing schoolgirl by exploring a bright fantasy
world and solving challenging puzzles.
Things that you will do are, for example, manipulate gravity, play with reflections,
walk on walls, and use a magical lens to see an alternate reality.
The puzzles can definitely be mind-bending, but I think anyone who loves a puzzle challenge,
would love this game.
On number 13 is Fujii, a musical gardening adventure.
This is a very calming game.
The developers wanted to create a unique and enchanting virtual world for you to escape
to.
And they did a great job.
The audio, visuals, and interactions all blend in well together.
Fujii is a nice change from the high-paced action games, so if you are looking to relax,
then Fujii is perfect for that.
On number 12.
Trover Saves The Universe, a 3rd-person comedy adventure.
This is from the co-creator of Rick and Morty and is voiced by Justin Roiland.
In first-person, you sit in a chair holding a controller.
Using it, you control Trover in 3rd-person.
This game plays like a platformer game, except it feels like you are there yourself.
If you haven't yet, check out the free game Accounting on Steam.
Because if you like that comedic style, then Trover Saves The Universe is not to miss.
Number 11.
Groundhog Day Like Father Like Son, a narrative-driven puzzle adventure.
Just like the classic movie, you are stuck in a time loop that repeats the same day over
and over.
Except, in this VR game, you play as the son of the movie's protagonist.
To get out of the time loop, you have to explore various scenes with people you may know from
the film and solving puzzles in each.
It might get a bit frustrating if you don't get it right for a couple of times as you
need to repeat the same steps again, but isn't that also kinda the point of the movie?
On number 10.
The Under Presents, a surprising theatrical adventure game.
There are two modes, a story mode where you're able to control time to find out what happened
on a ship that makes people disappear.
However, the exploration mode is the best.
You can enjoy performances by real actors with other players online.
The magic here is you don't know which character you meet is a real person, since there is
no voice chat.
But once you realize who is real, it is always amusing.
My mind was blown when one of them started teaching me... magic tricks.
This is a unique game that will stick with you.
While you are watching this video, don’t forget to leave a like if you found it helpful
so far.
Number 9.
Final Assault, a World War-themed action strategy game.
This game combines the genre's real-time strategy with MOBA game elements.
As the commander, you tower over the map controlling your army.
The mission is to destroy the enemy's base.
The game makes it challenging by only letting you control one unit at a time.
There's also no base-building or resource gathering, so your primary concern is to strategize
how to use your money on units to win the war.
A game that is easy to learn but hard to master.
So if you like challenging strategy games, I highly recommend this one.
Number 8.
Pistol Whip, an arcade music game.
Here, when you enter an action scene, you automatically run.
Using guns, your goal is to survive while targets appear who will shoot at you.
In return, you dodge, punch, or shoot back.
It's up to you whether you want to do this on the beat of the music.
Pistol Whip makes you feel like you just entered an action movie, it gives you adrenaline,
and it feels very satisfying.
A high recommendation for anyone who likes electronic dance music or is looking for a
VR work out.
On number 7 is OrbusVR: Reborn, one of the few MMORPGs for VR.
And as a Kickstarter backer, I was happy that the final game consists of everything you
expect from this genre — an open-world, lots of quests, monsters, bosses, dragon pets,
dungeons, and even raids.
Sure, the graphics could be better, but if you enjoy these game mechanics, then it won't
matter much.
Orbus is high up on our list because we spent the most hours here, but we are also two complete
RPG nutjobs.
On number 6.
Five Nights At Freddy's VR: Help Wanted, a horror experience with mini-games.
This VR version of the wicked Five Nights universe consists of 5 mini-games.
5 different environments, 5 various tasks, which are all about surviving before any of
the scary killer animatronics get to you.
This game is not for the faint-hearted, but it is a very entertaining and surprisingly
easy-to-understand party game.
Number 5.
Until You Fall, a hack-and-slash roguelite, filled with melee combat.
It features procedurally generated dungeons with a beautiful, neon-colored art style.
The combat is energetic and is about quickly responding as the game shows you lines that
tell you where to block or attack.
The longer you can survive, the harder it gets, but if you ever fall, you don't have
to start over entirely as you can use what you earned to grow stronger.
A fun game that you can spend lots of time in.
Number 4.
Stormland, a sci-fi first-person shooter.
You play as an upgradeable android who is lost and needs to find out what happened to
the destroyed world.
Stormland features a beautiful open-world that you can explore freely with excellent
locomotion, like gliding and flying.
Combat is fast-paced and exciting, and you can go in stealthily or gun blazing, it's
up to you.
After the five-hour-long storyline that you can play fully in co-op, you go into a Cycling
World that has randomized missions and environments.
This allows for more replayability.
This game has one of the best interactions and is so hard to summarize in only one minute,
so I just recommend you to check it out if you like this genre.
On number 3.
No Man's Sky, space simulation, and action-adventure survival game.
The game features online multiplayer, exploration, survival, base building, combat, and trading
in an infinite procedurally generated space universe.
The grind is big in this game, but it is also very addicting.
I feel No Man's Sky has done a great job at the VR implementation, for example flying
in your own space ship is just incredible in VR.
Plus, this is also one of the games that we spent the most hours on in 2019.
This is why the game is high up on our list.
On number 2, Boneworks, a VR physics sandbox.
The game features advanced experimental physics mechanics making it possible to do almost
any accurate interactions with virtual objects.
For example, it allows players to solve the huge, environment size puzzles in different
ways by using objects creatively.
Same goes for combat, you can use various guns or any other tools for melee attacks.
The realistic physics make the VR game just really cool to spend time and experiment in.
Boneworks is a must-try for the VR enthusiast.
My number 1 spot goes to Asgard's Wrath, a story-driven action-adventure role-playing
game based on Norse Mythology.
Here, you play as a god who can embody multiple mortal heroes.
So the game features two modes, in one mode, you play as the mortal.
In the other mode, you tower over the map as the god and can manipulate the environment.
This is, for me, excellent use of VR as it gives you a sense of scale.
The game is massive, too, with over 30 hours of gameplay and story.
Many environments to explore that feel rich and have a lot to interact with.
The combat is not as heavy as Boneworks.
Still, it is satisfying enough as it can be beautifully cinematic or pretty challenging.
But what I like the most is that you get animal companions who help you along your journey,
and they have so much character.
It's hard to fully describe a game that's this big in just a minute.
So I will just stop and tell you this...
If you are like me and are into games with stories, and love RPGs, then Asgard's Wrath
is a title you cannot miss.
Wait!
We are not done yet, I have one honorable mention of a beautiful experience called Wolves
In The Walls.
This interactive story has a unique art-style, and while it may look like a kid's story,
it can actually be thrilling.
It's only a half an hour experience, but since it's free, why not check it out yourself?
So that’s the list.
