+ 10No Man's Sky VR
No Man's Sky VR isn't a standalone VR game as such and is instead an updated version of the title that allows you to play the entire game within virtual reality.
Aside from the ability to invite thirty-one of your friends plus yourself to explore the galaxies, it's one of the vastest open worlds ever employed within a game which gives you plenty to go around discovering.
Of course, putting No Man's Sky into VR makes it one of the most immersive games out there, and given the expansive of the world that is procedurally generated, you'll never get tired of things to explore.
There's also a variety of missions on offer in an open world where you can trade goods, build bases and hunt bounties, amongst other things.

Payday 2 VR is a free add-on for the base game that makes robbing fictional banks a whole lot more immersive.
You can team up with up to three friends and form a heist crew to steal all sorts of valuable items depending upon which mission you choose to play. There's plenty to choose from, so don't expect to be short of buildings to rob.
The combat is pretty fun but also rather challenging with pretty much endless waves of police until you make your daring escape. VR also adds a certain immersion so it makes it feel like you are drilling a vault and actually performing a big score.

In keeping with the theme of FPS games, Pavlov VR is a game built around its community and acts as a handy VR port of the Counter-Strike series that will be familiar to an awful lot of gamers.
There are plenty of guns and maps to pick from, with settings ranging from the Second World War and the present day. Expect to find some more realistic combat, so reloading guns manually and looking down sights to line up a perfect shot is going to be integral to success.
With that VR experience, Pavlov VR marks itself out as an intense shooter that is played entirely against other people online, to make for a properly competitive experience.
You can play with bots, but in a game that's pretty much entirely made by a community, playing online will be best.

If you're a fan of playing sports virtually with friends, then Eleven Table Tennis looks like quite the fun option.
Whilst it may be quite a simple game, the real fun of this particular title comes within its realism. This table tennis title sits more on the simulator end of the scale by offering a rather detailed experience, either against actual people or some pretty difficult AI.
Intriguingly, Eleven Table Tennis can also allow you to use a 3D-printed paddle alongside your controller for a properly authentic experience, which is rather cool indeed.

On the subject of having fun with friends, sometimes a game of mini-golf can be a great way to go about it, and Walkabout Mini Golf VR provides you with that chance.
You'll have the ability to engage in a full set of 18 holes with realistic and natural physics to offer a familiar experience. In addition, the putting on here is said to be simple, but that is of course dependent upon the player.
There's a nice selection of different courses to use, each with its own distinct theme, and once you've mastered them, Walkabout Mini Golf VR also features a Night mode that modifies the original holes with even harder challenges.
Crossplay with up to five people also means you can have a full round that can last for a good while between you, and the fact there are interconnected holes on the course also helps to make you feel even more immersed.

Among US VR
Among Us VR is quite simply Among Us in virtual reality. That means up to ten players can enjoy the sheer carnage of running around trying to finish tasks while other players try to impale or eat you.
It's an absolute blast to play, and we'd argue it's actually more enjoyable than the normal version is.
It's also a little bit more horrifying than the normal version because you feel like you're properly running away when you end up suspicious of another player, and it's a little bit easier to get lost too.
Definitely grab this if you've got a few friends to play it with because there are few games as fun as this one.

Dungeons of Eternity
Dungeons of Eternity is quite possibly the best dungeon crawler on the Meta Quest headsets, and the fact that it's co-op just makes it better.
The story is that you're trying to save your homeworld and to do so, you need to use swords and crossbows to hunt down skeletons and zombies and get more loot.
The combat feels amazing, some of the boss fights are a lot of fun, and you can really customise the way you fight thanks to the range of weapons available.
The higher rarity weapons even have some amazing special effects that'll have you feeling like an absolute badass.
It looks amazing, is basically endless if you want it to be, and it's easily some of the most fun you can have in VR at the moment.
