Man. Boneworks was a great game to try out right after Alyx. This game is trying a lot of really crazy stuff.
I've thankfully had no motion sickness issues, though my understanding is they've refined some of the original problems to aid in mitigating that.
It feels considerably less polished than Alyx, but in return gives more freedom of interaction. The climbing is rad. I'm stoked to play some more of this.

Have you ever tried Climbey?
It's "just" climbing and very simplistic graphically, but the climbing / movement mechanics in that are extremely fun (and have a nice "easy to learn, hard to master" thing going).
Yeah, i loved climbey. It was one of the first games i hopped back into when i upgraded to my index and helped me get comfortable with the controllers.
As i was climbing around in boneworks, one of my thoughts was “its so cool to have climbing like this in another game!”
Color space seems excellent for a day alone in isolation. I might give that a shot with Revive.
Finished Alyx.
What an unbelievable game. Will remember it for years to come. I have tried a lot of VR but this one felt the smoothest for me with no hint of sickness when using smooth locomotion for 2 hours at a time. Really sad it is over, now for the next big one for me - Medal of Honor VR.

I'll reshare what I felt when I finished Alyx
I haven't felt this ever since I played Half Life 1 as a kid back in 1998, and Half Life 2 as a teenager in 2004. It was groundbreaking for me, truly special, and now leaves a void that it will be hard to fulfill.
I want Valve to release the SDK of Source 2 ASAP so everyone can start producing content for it. The engine is great for VR, and I would love to see a modscene as good as it was back in HL1 days, but alas, the asset creation complexity might make it just a dream

Lies Beneath is out at some point today for Rift:

Heard good things from Quest owners about it.
Also, on thursday it's been 1 year since Ghost Giant released on PSVR (releases on Quest some weeks ago). I really hope it releases on Steam soon as I loved it on my PSVR and with better tracking I can only see it making the game better.

Not sure if Im liking Stormland. Game feels janky and unpolished and not particularly interesting. Little to no physics either. I keep dissasembling my weapons when I just wanna grab other stuff. I actually "rage quit" the game when I had a full minigun in my hand and I wanted to pick up another weapon laying down on the ground, but the game wanted to dissasemble the minigun instead.
It's still under 2 hours playtime so I can still refund it, but yeah, not liking it so far. World is somewhat boring to. Graphics are nice though.
Also, when Im in a fight and I have used up my ammo the weapon is useless and Im fucked as I either have to run back to a workshop to buy a new one or destroy an enemy with my shitty laser thing.
Feels like the game was released like a wet fart compared to Asgard's Wrath and some other Oculus exclusives. The game is apparently just 4-5 hours with grindy stuff for endgame content and no post release patches either afaik.

Weird control issues, that pretty much never happened to me as to disassemble a weapon you have to grab it with both hands and pull it apart past that. Maybe I did it a couple times when trying to two-hand certain weapons as they all have one-handed and two-handed usage modes with different holding positions that for some can be close to the disassembly grab point but after getting comfortable with each type it wasn't a big issue. Smaller than ejecting a pistol clip when trying to two-hand that in Boneworks. It's hard to run out of ammo for anything but the (sniper) rifle stuff which deliberately hold little ammo. Headshots count, though I never found them necessary to conserve ammo with the automatic weapons or anything, they're just satisfying damage dealers. Disassembling found weapons gives back ammo for that type of weapon iirc, or you can just replace it with the enemy's/loot boxes after larger combat encounters rather than keep it with low ammo and go to the next battle in that state. The gameplay loop is fun, as is upgrading your weapons and skills (which do alter the overall gameplay style as you see fit, all the flying/hovering stuff in particular and of course when you can eventually keep 4 weapons), though the game's certainly shallow and the whole open world and story never really come into focus as anything but a backdrop for the action. I'd say it took me at least 8 hours to beat, with a lot of wasted time for sure, and I've now played it for about 24 hours total. It's always nice to have something to do past a game's end even if it's repetitive, at least you get some instant action rather than replay story beats you know (I recently finished Journey of the Gods and it's quite weird it doesn't let you revisit levels or anything for some action past the ending, it was still great but that was a bit eh). It's not shorter than other notable VR action games. At least one run of the "post game" content is an all new area/objective so imo part of the main game, repeat runs of it to get the "real" ending are definitely padding though. I did initially think it's gonna be some action adventure like Alyx, linear with story beats and such progression and what not, but realizing it's not anything of the sort, it's good at what it does, unlike Asgard's Wrath which I refunded as what it did try, it didn't do well enough in my opinion, from combat to story telling etc.

Ooh, getting some Dark Souls VR vibes here. Clearly it's still early days but I like the visual style and enemy animations and spell gestures etc., it's all well done.

This came out too, I dunno if it's any good but it seems like a promising effort for some multi player melee combat with the necessary concessions.
A current home VR game will not reach the heights of this location VR experience with big space and full body tracking but it can still be good fun.

This came out too. I've posted about it before, the visual style looked interesting, but I can't say it looks well/deeply developed. We'll see impressions soon.
I expected it to be in development far longer from the earlier media, I guess it's a simpler game than I hoped, much like Wands or The Unspoken and others.

I wonder how good it is - I would have hoped that the devs would have their level editor have a "baseline" autogen like this, that could then be polished manually. If this can make half-decent maps of the songs I love (which seem under represented on the custom sites
) than my arms are about to suffer
Saints & Sinners hits PSVR today and Gorn hirts PSVR on may 19th. Really happy for PSVR owners. Been a long drought without any big games sicne Blood Truth which releases at the end of may last year.
Gorn is a lot of fun, but still waiting for a decent sale on Saints & Sinners, but Im told it's pretty good.

I read up on it a bit and it seems the AI was trained on Electronic music.

Might be worth still trying and seeing what comes out of it for you.
i tried it on Metal ... not great, to say the least (even on expert+ which is supposed to be the best one quality-wise)
hopefully they'll keep working on it to make it decent ... at least before facebook inevitably buys them and shuts the project down (because there's no fucking way in hell they'd let them continue working on it and making it available to everyone)
