I got a Quest 2 a while back and played around with it a bit. There were some entertaining games like “I expect you to die” and the first portion of “Lone Echo”, but mostly they just felt like proof of concept demos and I quickly lost interest.

Is there anything actually made for VR and a fully fledged high quality game?

    VRChat in particular has been degrading in quality and experience ever since they needed to start pleasing investors. You can give it a try if you want, but there’s a lot of toxicity there. Platforms like ChilloutVR or NeosVR have a better (but smaller) community.

    Although some titles like BONELAB or Pavlov do feel a lot more like “tech demos”, they are still great titles. Some desktop titles also have VR ports that are worth playing, No Mans Sky and The Talos Principle come to mind.

    The modding scenes of a lot of games have good VR mods too, “Vivecraft”, if you’re into Minecraft. Subnautica has a good VR mod, Half-Life 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Outer Wilds, and much more.

      Haven’t tried bonelabs myself but I heard the campaign was lacking so I just recommended boneworks instead since to me at least back when it released it felt like the most complete vr game.

      Haven’t tried the vr chat alternatives, I don’t know if it is because I mostly visit Spanish talking communities but my experience has not really degraded. Admittedly I’m not a hardcore user who spends a lot of hours there, but I have fun whenever I hop in. I will try them zometime but since they are smaller they will probably have limited communities in my language, and speaking in english is a bit uncomfortable for me at least.

      I had no clue DRG had a vr mod??? Literally my first time hearing about it… Lol

      Lastly, I can vouch for the minecraft mod, if you set up a server correctly you can even play with friends that have it on desktop together, there are also movement commands that were fun instead of ussing the buttons on controllers.

        There is a great discord server called the Flatscreen to VR Modding Community. They do a great job on following new mods or existing mod updates. DRG VR mod is pretty good. The one for Valheim is nuts. The first time I came across a troll I nearly shit my pants.
