For those who are fans of sci-fi, space exploration, and survival, No Man's Sky Beyond is the game for you. Through immersive gameplay and an open-world concept, the player uses unique technology to research the limits of space while fighting to survive.

All of the action in the game is based on four principal activities: exploration, survival, combat, and trading. Playing as an explorer called the Traveller, you engage in inter-planetary research by scanning, collecting, and mining resources, as well as fighting off enemies (such as droids and other creatures) along the way.

Currency can be gained by the discovery of flora, fauna, and creatures throughout planetary exploration. At different space stations on the various planets, the Traveller can trade resources, multitools, and ships while interacting with alien life.

Players have widely praised the expansiveness of this game, its open-world concept, and how there's a fun amount of strategy involved in collection and research. While this game is far from perfect, having reported game crashes, complicated controls, and having an overall large time commitment to advance, this game seems to be pretty well received.

After all, SpaceX isn't booking economy commercial flights yet, so this is as close to space that you're gonna get for now.

For fans of the Marvel Universe, or folks who have wanted to star in a Marvel movie, Marvel's Iron Man is a way to capture the magic of Iron Man while keeping your feet on the ground.

The game uses the Move motion controllers to utilize Iron Man's repulsor jets. With all of Iron Man's gear at your fingertips, you can face opponents and obstacles with ease. Tech can also be upgraded in Tony Stark's garage.

The storyline for this game seems pretty solid: Tony Stark is being targeted by a hacker and anti-corporate activist called Ghost, whose main goal is to steal and repurpose Stark's weapons. Throughout the game, Ghost goes on a rampage attacking Stark's worldwide offices, and it's up to Iron Man to stop the chaos. Stark looks like he's working largely alone, though, which is disappointing knowing how many allies he has across the Marvel Universe.

While this game is available for pre-order on Amazon now, the game will be released on July 3rd due to delays caused by COVID-19. While that's a bummer, this game looks like it's worth the wait.

For fans of DC Comics and the Dark Knight himself, Batman: Arkham is a virtual reality game with stunning graphics, an engaging storyline, and puzzles worthy of the greatest detective the comics have ever seen.

By nature of it being virtual reality, the player is immersed in first-person gameplay as Batman in the world of Gotham. Across the board, reviewers praise the graphics of this game as being detailed, clear, and lifelike.

The story-based gameplay surrounds Batman's mission to investigate the disappearances of Nightwing and Robin and his quest to rescue them. It's important to note that this is a non-combat game, and while there are plenty of Batman's iconic tools that are used throughout, there isn't any hard-hitting action. That being said, plenty of reviewers enjoy the puzzles that the game presents. The game has been criticized as being too short and more of a demo or preview of what VR could do in the future than an actual full game.

While the game itself could be expanded, it's incredibly impressive just how immersive this game manages to be and presents a promising future for VR gaming.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown was released in January 2019 by Bandai Namco Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, with a set of missions specifically built for the PlayStation VR headset. While the VR missions are exclusively single-player, multiplayer can be utilized when not on a VR mission. But, since this guide is focused on virtual reality gaming, the single-player aspect is what will be focused on.

This game sends players on missions to destroy various air and surface targets. This first-person flight game puts you in the cockpit, immersed in stunning visuals while soaring through the sky. The more missions completed, the more great aircrafts the player can unlock. While many gamers have criticized the missions as being almost impossibly difficult at times, the overall storyline of the game seems to hold up nicely with the rest of the franchise.

This game utilizes cutscenes to advance the story, which is delightfully reminiscent of 90s and early 2000s gameplay, but with a high-tech VR twist.

For anyone who wishes they could've gotten a pilot's license, this game is for you. And with Father's Day coming up, this seems like a great Father's Day gift for a dad who loves to game.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an epic adventure game with an entirely reimagined world thanks to VR. Immersed in a fantasy world, the player is sent on a quest unlike any other they have encountered before.

In the game's main story, the Dragonborn (the player's character), is on a quest to save the world from the destructive dragon Alduin the World-Eater. What's great about this game is that it has free-world play, allowing the player to move through the world as they wish rather than be simply tethered to the main storyline. Over the course of the game as a whole, the player improves Dragonborn's skills and completes quests.

This game has received some great reviews among players for the game's detail and the depth of the world that was created. The game design goes to great lengths to ensure that the world is wholly immersive, even including graphics peripheral vision. However, there were still some issues with the VR controls.

This game also includes game add-ons that were previously ed separately. All in all, this seems like a great pick for anyone looking for an action-adventure game in a well-designed fantasy realm.

Superhot has an awesome abstract game design using only three colors, exclusively angular figures, and manipulation of time that makes this game not only innovative but genre-redefining.

The concept seems fairly simple: take down enemies while dodging slow-motion bullets. You are woefully outnumbered and in certain levels, not even using a gun. In a gaming world where games are often judged on how well equipped the character is or how fancy or futuristic the weaponry is, Superhot's appeal comes from its minimalism.

It relies on the strategic moves and cunning of the player in control.

This game was highly praised as one of the best VR games in 2017. Its unique graphics and great entertainment value make it an awesome game to dive into. That being said, it's not without its flaws; the game is fairly short, has some tracking issues, and some levels that are nearly impossible to beat.

Sometimes in VR game design, it feels like the game developers are trying too hard to make you believe you're in the real world. But by deg a new abstract world altogether, Superhot cements itself as one of the best VR games to date.

Fruit Ninja was once just a humble mobile game developed by Halfbrick back in April 2010. The gameplay has been described as addictive, but the premise is quite simple: slice the fruit that is launched your way by swiping across the screen.

Fruit Ninja VR brings this gaming experience to a whole new level through immersive gameplay. The game now becomes a full-body experience as the player swipes their hands and arms to slice. Extra points are awarded for "combos" or when multiple fruits are sliced in a single swipe. All of the fruit must be sliced in order for the game to continue, or when a certain score is reached, they are able to cash in on additional life. Bombs are occasionally thrown onto the screen and must be deflected, or else they cause disaster.

This game has four modes: Classic Mode, Arcade Mode, Zen Mode, and Survival Mode, the latter of which was developed exclusively for Fruit Ninja VR. Zen Mode allows for gameplay without the existence of random bombs, which seems ideal for little kids or novice gamers just trying to get a feel for the game. In Arcade Mode, a 60-second countdown clock starts, and the player must achieve the highest score possible in that time frame. In Classic and Arcade modes, there are special fruits that are worth more points when they appear on screen.

Given its full-body engagement, Fruit Ninja VR seems like a lot of fun and a great game for the whole family.

If you've ever wanted to jump into the world of Rick & Morty, co-creator Justin Roiland developed Trover Saves the Universe, bringing all of its brash, foul-mouthed, delightfully weird elements to the VR screen.

The story follows an unfortunate dognapping by a beaked alien lunatic named Glorkon, and since you are confined to a chair, your transportation is reliant upon Trover, a purple eye-hole monster. Your mission is to defeat Glorkon and bring your dogs home. So weird. So, so delightfully weird.

The dialogue in the game has been reviewed as top-notch, not surprising since the game is designed by someone who has a firm footing in the television comedy world. Trover's unfiltered commentary lets you know exactly what's on mind throughout the various levels.

While the game has been criticized as being too short, it seems that this game has players laughing out loud and thoroughly enjoying the gameplay, however short it may be.

For fans of good ol' fashioned horror, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is a horrifying thrill ride. This single-player shoot 'em up takes place on seven different roller coasters in a horror-themed amusement park, equipping the player with six different weapons to shoot down whatever haunted creature crosses their path. It was released in October 2016, just two weeks before Halloween, which seems like the perfect release date for a game like this. For those who need reminding, 2016 also brought about random terrifying clown sightings in different parts of the USA and Canada. Even though the game developers didn't plan that, it seems to fit into the zeitgeist of that time period quite well.

The Virtual Reality experience in this came certainly heightens the feel of terror, giving the player the similar feeling of walking into an actual haunted house. However, some players have criticized the lack of movement in this game. Since you're playing from the cart of a roller coaster, there isn't too much to move around and do. While it's also a fairly easy game to beat according to gamers, there is a lot of replay value.

The design is reminiscent of an actual arcade game, the premise is fairly simple, and the ability to play at different levels can engage gamers of different skill levels. That being said, this game is rated M for Mature. This game seems like it's the actual fuel of nightmares.

Blood & Truth is a first-person shooter game designed to combine the best elements of an action movie: storyline, fight sequences, and cool weapons.

Published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, this immersive VR game puts you in the shoes of Ryan Marks, who is sent on a mission to take down a London Crime Boss named Tony. The storyline has many twists and turns, bringing the player along for the ride as Ryan seeks retribution and has some shocking revelations along the way.

Described by reviewers as a "First-Person Shooter on Rails," this game lacks open-world exploration but still features some neat action-packed fighting. The weapon reload is reviewed as being pretty realistic, and there's an interesting range of weapons available throughout the game.

It seems like an almost across-the-board critique that VR games tend to be on the shorter side. While the in-game mechanisms are pretty impressive, it seems that game developers just haven't gotten there yet. After all, this type of gaming is still fairly new. Gamers have expressed that they would replay the game, too. However, it appears they must go scene-by-scene and delete the data in order to replay, which seems tedious.

Overall, this seems like a great pick for fans of action.
