I just bought my first VR headset (Odyssey+). What games would you recommend to get started?
First dabble in the tutorials and easy to get used to/free apps like
The Lab. You don't want to go too crazy for the first few experiences.
What kind of games do you like to play, that's kinda like asking just any PC game out of the thousands... Single player, online, action, fps, adventure, sports?
Budget Cuts is a cool stealth puzzle-ish adventure game with nicely integrated teleport mechanics, the bigger better sequel is coming soon.
Apex Construct is a good sci fi action adventure game with archery systems at its core.
The Thrill of the Fight is a great boxing game, less fancy than Creed and its Rocky license but a really good sim.
Pistol Whip is the new kid on the rhythm game block, I love it and don't even play it as a rhythm game but as some funky cool new Virtua Cop-like.
In Death is a fun archery based rogue-lite I spent many hours in early on, it has cool teleportation methods as well as free locomotion now.
SUPERHOT VR is a fun puzzle action game with cool slow motion mechanics.
Racket Fury is a very polished table tennis game.
Catch & Release is a nifty fishing game.
Moss is a fun little third person action adventure, you guide a sword wielding mouse around as if you're looking at a diorama of a fairy tale.
Space Junkies is a PVP zero gravity arena FPS, like Quake in space, good for some instant action. Ubisoft is done with it but it's highly polished anyway.
Ultrawings is a nice flight game, not quite a sim, maybe a bit like pilot wings, goals and stuff to get through.
Windlands 2 is a cool action adventure with not-web-swinging and archery. It's also co-op capable.
Raw Data is probably the best of the arena/wave type shooter games with different classes, some progression and co-op.
Onward is my favorite "standard" FPS, PVP focused as all but it has co-op I find myself returning to despite dodgy hacky AI. It has the best weapons and gadgets handling in my opinion, if Pavlov is Counter-Strike and Contractors Call of Duty then this is Ghost Recon (the old good ones) in pacing and realism.
Lone Echo is a must play astronaut adventure and the free Echo VR/Arena and its $10 Combat DLC take those zero gravity mechanics to online PVP.
Blade & Sorcery has the best physics based melee combat but doesn't yet have progression and upgrades implemented in the current early access.
There are many great early access games as above, I really like where
Vengeful Rites is going as a VR RPG action adventure for example.
There's also the free-for-now
A Township Tale alpha to try for some online rpging/surviving/crafting shenanigans.
