It’s a survival game in which you play as a group of people trying to stay alive after a mysterious virus wipes out most of humanity and turns the rest into mindless zombies.

Players will have to scrounge for materials to make weapons, take shelter in abandoned buildings, and rely on each other to fight back against the horde.

Although cooperative play is the focus of Requisition, the game also offers a single-player campaign and a mode in which you must defend your home from intruders.

Ziggy’s Cosmic Adventures

The exact date of release is currently unknown.

Valve Index, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality

Despite the saturation of cockpit VR games, Ziggy’s Cosmic Adventures’ bright colors and optimistic vibe keep us coming back for more.

You play the role of a space thief named Ziggy who steals an adorable alien research subject from the government and must now evade the forces out to get him back.

A room-scale cockpit built for virtual reality allows for resource management, arcade dogfighting combat, and station interaction.

As you progress through the game and approach the solar system’s rim, each level will present its own set of challenges, as well as secrets, trophies, and unlockable cosmetics.

Firmament

Awaiting Announcement of a Release Date

Systems: (Valve Index, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR)

The creators of Myst, Riven, and Obduction, Cyan, have released a brand new adventure game inspired by steampunk called Firmament.

The virtual reality game takes place in a mysterious land full of puzzles to solve and lore to absorb, and it bills itself as a “monumental voyage through diverse and curious realms.”

You’ll have a clockwork sidekick that helps you unlock doors to new dimensions and other worlds as you travel.

Given Cyan’s history, we have high hopes that Firmament will deliver a rewarding and immersive VR experience.

Low-Fi

Valve Index, Oculus Rift, Meta Quest, Windows Mixed Reality, and PlayStation VR

Launching on Kickstarter, Low-Fi quickly surpassed indie developer IRIS’s funding goal within the first four days.

The player is thrust into a crime-ridden metropolis in this “non-linear open-world sandbox” and tasked with filling the role of a tough but fair police officer who isn’t afraid to break the law when necessary.

In your new role as a transfer officer, you’ll be responsible for patrolling city block 303 and getting to know its many residents as you investigate crimes and progress the story.

There’s also the option of plunging headfirst into the city’s criminal underworld, where taking bribes and killing anyone who stands in your way is par for the course.

Your goal is to get to the heart of the reactor, but along the way you’ll encounter aliens from other universes, deadly androids programmed to kill anything that moves, and more.

The sequel appears to be just as strange as the original, but if you keep an open mind, the game’s absurdity may end up charming you.

Agent Frank’s mission takes players to a mysteriously abandoned research facility.

Discovering the sinister truth behind the experiments will require overcoming obstacles, solving puzzles, and fighting mechanical foes using actual physics.

Hellsweeper VR

To Be Announced: Release Date

System requirements: Valve Index, HTC Vive, or Oculus Rift

Developed by the same team behind Sairento VR, Hellsweeper VR combines elements of action and roguelike gameplay.

Several improvements to the developer’s previous title’s locomotion system bring newfound freedom to the gameplay in the form of wall-running, power-sliding, backflips, and more.

You play the part of an undead immortal whose mission it is to destroy the many evil creatures that populate the underworld with your arsenal of weapons and elemental powers.

Players can find new niches in the game’s meta by experimenting with different permutations of abilities and combining skills.

VR Gaming For Beginners: 3 Tips And Tricks To Stay On Top Of Your Game

1. Try Out A Game With An Easy Skill Level

You may be a whiz at regular video games, but if virtual reality gaming is new to you, you should start with something easier.

Since the challenge of each game varies, it can be helpful to get your feet wet with an easier one first.

Try something simple first, whether it’s a Zero Latency game like Sol Raiders or Outbreak Origins or a VR escape room adventure like Survival or Jungle Quest, and work your way up to the more difficult games as you get the hang of things.

2. Consider Gaming Someone More Experienced

You could ask a friend or family member who has experience with virtual reality gaming to join you for your first try.

Since most VR arena games are played in groups, having a seasoned companion can greatly enhance your experience. Anyone can have fun sharing a virtual reality experience with others, whether it’s a group of friends on a stag weekend or a father and daughter spending the day together.

So that everyone, from first-timers to seasoned VR veterans, can get the most out of their time at MeetspaceVR, we give each group of players a briefing on basic instructions and safety rules before beginning any VR game.

Get in touch with us today if you’re interested in learning more about the virtual reality games we offer.

3. If You are Going to Try Multiple Games then Build in Breaks in Between to Reorientate and Rehydrate

Feeling a little lightheaded during the first few minutes of your first game is completely normal. However, it’s not advised for newcomers to try out multiple games in quick succession, even if they don’t experience any motion sickness.

VR gaming is amazing, but it’s important not to get addicted. Please consult with a member of our team prior to scheduling an appointment if you have any questions or concerns.

While most players won’t get sick from their games, it’s still smart to be prepared just in case. After a few rounds of play, you’ll be prepared to dive headfirst into a virtual reality (VR) experience binge.

This Day in History

Virtual reality hand simulators are extremely common. They’re like virtual playgrounds, except you get to play with virtual toys and direct the movements of giant heads and hands. At the time of this writing, GregTame’s EdgeWorks is the only virtual reality (VR) game I’d recommend playing. You’ll need 450 Robux to gain entry, which means you’ll need Robux to play.

Most Roblox VR games have a factory-default configuration, perspective, and controls to ensure instant playability. Despite clumsy controls, the games are playable.

Make Your Own VR Games

Check out the VRService library(Opens in a new window) if you want to make your own virtual reality game for Roblox.
