A comment on VR. Parent comment

My daily usage level has dropped, but mostly it is due to the lack of new interesting software. When you read this thread, or /r/Vive or anywhere else, it's always the same story: people talking enthusiastically about games that came out months ago. The same ones, over and over. Space Pirate Trainer. Holopoint. H3VR. Job Simulator.

I'm really bored of those.

Easy - as that time period includes the Oculus Touch launch titles.

That gives me:

1. SuperHot

2. Arizona Sunshine

3. The Unspoken

4. Dead and Buried

Looking through Steam sorted by user reviews: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&t...

Gives me another easy set. I'll stick to things I own or I've heard almost universally good things about:

5. Smashbox Arena

6. Sairento

7. QuivR

8. Distance

9. Bullet Sorrow

10. Vertigo

11. Serious Sam: TFE

12: Bullet Sorrow

13: Werewolves Within

14: ROM Extraction

There's more but I got bored. I can personally vouch for the excellence of at least 5 of those.

Thanks for this reply. Did not know SuperHot had a VR version. I definitely will check that out at least.

It's short but it's astonishing. Totally worth it.

I can't imagine how the game works not in VR.

I hear that Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is very immersive in its VR incarnation, if you're into that sort of thing.

Define 'months'. I can name half a dozen games of equal quality that came out in the last 6 weeks.

Please do! Really! Because I'm looking for great new experiences and not finding much.

Elite dangerous (if you're into realistic space sims) could easily eat 1000+ hours of gameplay.
