Valve index. Got a lightly used one for a great price.

TBH I mainly bought this thing cause I want to play the Myst remaster in VR but I better get some use outa this. So what else is worth playing aside from Beat Saber? Any good VR mods?

    I’d strongly recommend starting off with slower games with less movement. You heard a lot more about it when the VR headsets first started taking off, but it’s still an issue. You feel like you should be moving more than you actually are, it makes you feel sick at first. Myst and Beatsaber will be great starters. Valve also seems to have made their games work with VR quite well, I’ve heard great things about Portal and Alyx

    Superhot is great, it was clearly made for the earlier, more nauseating headsets. The movement of the game lends itself perfectly to VR.

    (CW: suicide)

    I also recommend playing one of the older versions of the game that still have the suicide scene in it. Originally, there was a scene in the game where you’d win the mission by chucking yourself off a building. The dev doesn’t particularly like the scene anymore and took it out because he didn’t like the implications it had on the story and thought it was kinda edgy. I agree with this, however I feel completely different about the VR version of Superhot. When you throw yourself off a building because the game told you to and actually feel like you threw yourself off a building for a few seconds, it just really brought me into the story of the game. There’s another suicide scene where you shoot yourself, and yeah that one is just edgy and doesn’t do anything, but the medium of VR completely sells me on the building scene.
