Shout out to
@Coast for a lot of solid recommendations. Each of those games looks cool. I played Superhot back in the Gear VR days, but for whatever reason even though I got it through the Oculus store, I no longer own it and I refuse to pay for things twice. Still, it's a really good game. I'll definitely try some of the others. I have Walking Dead on the PSVR, but didn't get around to it because I feel bad for the zombies. One thing mentioned was sideloading through alternate app stores, which the Quest has made easier lately. It just requires a few settings tweaks and opens you up to a lot more games. In addition to this, there are a lot of WebVR games you can play just in the browser. You can of course use both Pornhub and XHamster for VR content of that type as well as sites that specialize in it and contain a lot of premium content like VRPorn and BadoinkVR. Membership to VRPorn gets you free demos of several games.
Here's my list of other things I have on my PC that require connecting either over wifi or with a cable. Some of these stretch the definition of games, but that's how they brand themselves. Others are more utilities or social experiences.
Oculus App on PC
Non-Games
Google Earth VR: As I said above about Wander, you can get this free app and get the same experience. Searching can be a bit clunkier, but if you've ever used Earth or Maps or Street View on your mobile device, you know what to expect. You can travel to (almost) anywhere and walk the streets as if you were there.
Games
Lone Echo: I haven't started this game yet, but everyone raves about it as if it was the greatest game in VR history. It's won a ton of awards. You're basically a robot whose human partner is about to leave you behind in a space station and you go through fixing the space station and other tasks, but there are supposedly a lot of emotional touchpoints that make it especially moving. I'll likely try this tonight or tomorrow. Haven't purchased Part 2, but I read that it's not as good.
Steam
Non-Games
SteamVR: If you intend to play any games on your PC, in or out of Steam, you need this app. Valve has helpfully offered this free app to load most VR games and experiences into the Oculus Quest. It's absolutely essential to unlock the power of your PC and Quest. Things probably work differently on other headsets, but I can't say. You can use the in-built Oculus app for some connections, but without Steam VR, things are frankly a mess.
ChilloutVR: This is the social app I was mentioning earlier. It's better than VRChat or Horizon Worlds or others imo because there's a lot of attention that went into the scenery. It's also pretty user friendly. Like many apps, it does require registering on their website, which gets a bit clunky, but overall, it's not too difficult. There aren't very many users here because it's technically still in early access, so it's better for meeting with people you already know as opposed to meeting new people.
Nature Treks Together: This app is also a social app where you can walk around on a small or medium sized archipelago and talk to people by the campfire. Allegedly they'll be expanding it to add more backgrounds in forests etc. It's a cool place to just take a break in virtual nature if real nature isn't accessible or to have a chat with someone. You can also draw and sculpt and it has some limited creation abilities.
Games
Hand Simulator: This is supposed to be a kind of way of getting used to the mechanics of VR, but I've never been able to get it working properly on my Quest, so for now I can't recommend.
The Lab: This is a good intro to VR. Good graphics, good intro to mechanics and some solid replayability value. A short, but fun game where you go into a bunch of smaller worlds and shoot a bow an arrow, destroy shelves full of boxes with a slingshot, explore a wizard shop, explore the solar system moving planets around wherever you like, and play fetch in various CGI rendered places with a robot dog. Cool little game to get your feet wet and free.
Virtual Virtual Reality: I started this on the Playstation. It's a weird sort of meta-commentary on the implications of VR for humanity. Hard to explain more than that, but it's worth it.
Sentenced VR: I haven't started this yet, but it's basically a morality play where you're an executioner chopping off heads in medieval times. You can decline to kill the people, however, which sets off a chain of consequences.
Calm Down Stalin: This is a game where you play as Stalin and you're getting increasingly agitated, moving your finger closer to the button which will launch nukes to destroy the world. Pretty funny game that's pretty simple and task driven. I haven't played it all the way through.
TribeXR DJ School: I believe you can buy this on the Quest too, but it was cheaper on Steam. In this game, you actually learn how to be a DJ, step by step and have to keep the party going. If you always wanted to learn to do it for real with records, this simulator is pretty legit. Be the top international DJ that guy at the other place used to party with.
Half-Life: Alyx: This is simply stated the best VR game I've played as yet. I loved Half-Life 2. It was the first PC game I got truly lost in. Playing in VR has its fair share of terrifying moments, but the graphics are incredible and it's just a really well done top tier game that's a fitting successor to the Half Life franchise. One piece of advice: Mind your ammo! You can get caught out there all of a sudden and then you just have to use your wits to stay safe from various monsters until you can find some somewhere. This game is so good, you either have to just set an alarm to stop playing or get sufficiently terrified by jumping turkeys hurling themselves at you to just step away. I've heard Resident Evil is its best competitor, but this one was built from the ground up for VR so it's legit af.
Adult
VR Hot: Probably not worth it, but not a bad intro to what's possible in the CGI VR porn space. You have an highly customizable partner at your disposal who wants to cater to your every whim. There's a clunky BDSM room in the back of your virtual apartment that will frustrate you as you try to work the restraints, but the game wins some points for the customization menus, which are decent.
Operation Lovecraft: If you want to see a realistic anime like character do weird things with humans, aliens, spiders, ogres, and other creatures, this is the demo for you. More third person than first person, so get your inner gonzo director on.
DIY My Lady in VR World: This game advertises itself as being able to make a fully customizable figure. Once you get in, it turns out you can load photos which it will use to create a CGI rendering. Overall, it sucks. The rendering isn't great and it froze up and stopped working forever. If you're trying to watch Serena Williams dance or you're pining over your ex, you're probably out of luck and should just go to therapy instead.
PC
These games/experiences you download from the creators' websites.
Non-games
Neos: I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but this game is basically the Ready Player One of the so-called Metaverse. Hundreds of worlds, total customizability, a bit of a learning curve, once again, but the sky is the limit. You can build your own worlds, customize your avatar in a number of ways and it's social so you can hang with others all you like. I played through one experience I mentioned yesterday in this called The Universe where you start out walking around Protons and Neutrons and then can make your way all the way to the Cosmic Background Radiation, passing all sorts of plants, animals, objects, nations, meteors etc along the way. You just turn a little wheel to navigate them. Very cool. It reminded me of the vWorld in the Battlestar Galactica: Caprica series. Unlike Zuckerberg's version of the metaverse, most things are free. You can also trade the in game currency for etherium to pay creators somehow, but I'm not hip to that.
Games
Elite Dangerous: This has a bit of a learning curve, but if you want a true Space Simulator where you fly around, get in missions, and can join a whole fleet who you're traversing planets with, this is one of the oldest and most well developed games around. I had some difficulty getting it setup because you have to login to their site and a bunch of other stuff, but once I was all set, it's pretty dope. The spaceflight is a little more difficult than No Man's Sky as the physics are more realistic, but if you want to hotdog it in space and you're not getting No Man's Sky or Star Wars: Squadrons (both of which are great, but I already have for Playstation), then this is the game for you. If you already have those games, it's still a good addition. This is also available on Steam or through the Oculus PC store.
Adult
Virt-a-Mate: This is the granddaddy of CGI porn games. It has probably the steepest learning curve of all VR experiences. Much like Neos to a lesser extent, you're essentially working through Unity. It can be frustrating at times, but the payoff is worth it. There are numerous free and sometimes pay "looks" you can download that feature many well known faces and bodies, which is a bit of a creepshow, but if you get into this app, you'll be so busy building scenes and tweaking poses that you'll forget to jerk off. In many ways, this app more than any other shows you the power of VR for model rendering and creating responsive basic AI. All the models follow you with their eyes and there are some incredible likenesses. I've posted a few samples elsewhere (fapout). If you want a shortcut that doesn't require a lot of study, use the app vamX with it since it ports in many looks, scenes, and animations in a much more user friendly way. You'll need a decent graphics card and it's faster with a cord than over wifi, but the time lag isn't too noticeable. The app features a devoted community on their VamHub website as well as on Reddit and Discord plus there are long Wikis and YouTube videos around. It's powerful enough that you can even create yourself and put your body in there if you're so motivated and knowledgeable. Apparently also you can sync with a fleshlight or dildo somehow, but I'm not there yet. It takes awhile to reach even blue belt in this app, but it's something.
Captain Hardcore: You're on a spaceship where you bang very customizable CGI models. The graphics are a slight step down from what's possible in Virt-a-Mate, but it's a lot more user friendly. If you want to dip your toe in the world of VR perversion, this is an easier step, but the demo has limited content. There's also a slightly stripped down Quest 2 version that you can sideload if you don't want to hook up to PC.
CherryVX: Another entry level game that works well on the quest. Limited characters and settings. It's functional enough, but has some features that ruin the immersion and the models are a bit too cartoony.
***
As with everything, I highly recommend reading user reviews. Some things look a lot cooler than they end up being, so don't get snowed by the marketing. All of these games/experiences have their quirks, but some are downright unplayable or get messed up easily and their developers have effectively abandoned them. Steam has a good community of reviewers and the deluge of Oculus users since Christmas means there are a lot of people opining on those games too. The PC app reviews you sometimes have to look around for and weigh the pluses and minuses.
I should also say this all can be highly addictive so use carefully. I actually recommend NOT getting the battery pack because sometimes low battery is a good excuse to take a break. Also, not sure what works and doesn't for Mac users so look into that if you are one. Also, if your laptop or desktop is a POS, you'll probably have problems with Steam or PC games. You don't need a top of the line amount of memory or graphics card for some of these, but for others I have no idea how it would perform. I got a relatively cheap gaming laptop last year to run statistical packages on and it's turned out to work beautifully for VR. Some of these things will even work on Windows 8.1 though, so have no fear. DO NOT upgrade to Windows 11. If you have, some things will work, but others aren't set up for it yet.
Pro-tips: In Experimental Features in the Quest, enable 120 hz refresh rate (can affect battery life), Passthrough Shortcut, and put your couch in VR.
