I bought two recently for my parents and they don’t use them. I tried to use them but there are no real VR games to play. All of the games are arcade-style mini games with 20 year-old graphics. They get boring after a couple minutes. Huge disappointment!

Around 10 years ago I gave up on VR and decided to wait for the VR game market to grow. It was a huge bummer to learn that nothing has changed after all this time.

I think it will take another decade or two for hardware power and costs to catch up to modern game engines.

For me, the only VR experience worth experiencing right now is probably a $1000 Valve Index with Half-Life Alyx running on my $4000 PC.

I'm not surprised that a casual level gaming device didn't meet the expectations of someone with a $4,000 gaming rig. You aren't the target market for this device.

Eleven Table Tennis VR -- very realistic table tennis

Golf+ -- fairly realistic Golf and also TopGolf setup.

Demeo -- like a really casual HeroQuest that you can jump into at any time (multiplayer, automatic).

Ancient Dungeon -- procedurally generated roguelike.

The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners -- really good zombie game

With an Index, don't miss out on Into the Radius, and VTOL VR. Or get a wheel and try Project Cars 2 or iRacing.
