We have been hearing about virtual reality for many years now. First a science fiction concept, it has gradually taken hold in our lives. Museums now offer virtual tours and it is even used to treat certain anxiety and phobic disorders! Artists use it as a real tool, even an inspiration, as we could already see in 1999 in the dystopian film eXistenZ by David Cronenberg.
But if there is one area in which this technology has created a considerable impact, it is gaming! Indeed, for several years, we have been talking about virtual reality as the future of video games, in particular thanks to the arrival of increasingly powerful consoles. And indeed, it gradually democratized until it conquered the hearts of many players, always seeking more immersion and thrills.
We had already told you about Farming Simulator in VR with the Oculus Quest 2, now here is a list of the best VR games!
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Available on PC, it is a real wonder for lovers of breathtaking landscapes and will guarantee you a fantastic feeling of freedom! This flight simulation game is a real pleasure to try, especially with virtual reality which adds a very appreciable immersive side. You can find yourself behind your helmet, with a direct view of the dashboard and the buttons available, in order to take off and land in airports around the world. Crossing the clouds is now within reach! With the new update that added England and Ireland to the map, the game is a real success.
Moss
For all adventure game lovers, this is the virtual reality game for you! He brings us into a fairy tale universe, in which a little mouse named Quill accompanies us to solve puzzles and thus save this enchanted world. It is undeniable that the strength of this game lies in its breathtaking graphics and the magical universe it offers. The immersion is therefore most enjoyable when exploring this colorful world and a sequel is already planned. So don't hesitate to test it, you won't be disappointed!
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
For all those who want to try out a cooperative game, this is the one for you! Available on PlayStation VR, PC, iOS and Android, the principle is very simple: one of the players is a minesweeper (the one wearing the VR headset) and must defuse a bomb. The other players, for their part, must help and guide him through a manual provided or available on the internet.
Virtual reality is particularly suited to this concept because the player will have to navigate between the many logic mini-games to succeed in the mission. Often chaotic, the game promises intense sessions with your friends, all to achieve a common goal! To be tested without hesitation.
Resident Evil 7
It's a game that will give you chills! Because if the VR accentuates all the sensations, here, it will literally make your heart beat at 100 per hour. The license is already scary in classic games, but here the terror is increased tenfold. We embody the hero Ethan, in search of his missing wife in the marshy and dismal landscapes of Louisiana. Between chases with infected monsters and puzzles scattered throughout the game, while managing its ammo and inventory to the best of its ability, you certainly won't get bored and the tension will only rise. This is a game that will appeal to anyone who enjoys the genre of survival horror and who are fans of the license.
Beat Saber
And to finish on a lighter note, here is a musical game that will delight you! Beat Saber would almost look like a Guitar Hero in a Star Wars universe. The principle is simple: you have two lightsabers and you have to cut cubes which rush at you to the rhythm of frenzied music. Satisfaction is at the rendezvous thanks to a very eclectic soundtrack and a colorful visual universe.
