Amazing Dark Souls style fantasy RPG. Story and dialog is excellent, combat is pretty solid, world and environments are stellar. I love the detective type element too. Definitely recommended!

This is hands down the coolest VR game I've played so far. I've never done such badass things in a video game before. It's amazing! I want to write a book about it. It's the epitome of a "murder boner". If you pick this game up, be sure to play at least 3-4 hours because there's a bunch of not-obvious things you can do that you only discover by rampaging through the levels and trying out new moves. The best part is the "endless waves with (npc) friends" modes (warzone or something). Constant carnage, epic battles, the struggle to survive...it's basically Gorn but more realistic and better physics. The magic telekinesis is also awesome and a perfect fit for the battles. The enemy approaches, you've dropped your weapons. He smirks, knowing your demise is imminent, then SHLGKHKG a sword stabs through his chest. A look of utter shock is in his eyes. You pop slow-mo and reach up to grab his sword out of the air as another enemy dives in for the attack. You block and roll away, releasing a dagger that whizzes through the air into their exposed stomach. Now they're really ♥♥♥♥♥♥. You're back on your feet and back in the battle. 30 feet away you see your ally, ♥♥♥♥, they're in trouble, two guys bearing down with rippling muscles. You only have seconds to act. You sprint forward and see a barrel sitting against the wall. You use your Jedi mind powers and lift it up and slam it into their backs. Your ally stares back, the look of terror slowly fading from their face. You each give a nod and dive back in, slaying your way to victory! And that's just like 15 seconds worth of gameplay.

Definitely 100% recommended. You won't be disappointed if you like killing people with swords and magic. One BIG warning though: you will destroy your room so take precautions. I move around a LOT in this game and my VR monitor shield came in super handy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leD2hg3RqfI

EDIT: one new issue with this game is that you have to use the new controller mapping thing that Valve released. This isn't really an issue with the game, but it means you have to spend time setting it all up. It probably took me 15-20 minutes to get it right.

Simple VR game with a series of puzzles all revolving around using cubes with different abilities. Overall it's ok and for the price it's hard to complain, but not much replayability and gets boring pretty fast. I almost wish it just had a free play mode where you could mess around with the cubes.

Simple, free, no replay value, not really an IQ test, just some basic puzzles. As other users have said: it's hard to rate or recommend this one, it just is what it is. You'll probably play it twice and get about 10 minutes out of it, but it's worth testing out since it's free.

Pretty cool, but I felt like I got bored fairly fast. I also wish I didn't have to race the sun. I get it, but I'd rather just have harder levels than having to worry about running out of fuel. The game basically punishes you for surviving and doing a good job. And you can't see the yellow things until you're almost passing them so it feels like luck or you have to memorize the levels to know one is coming. I'm sure if I play more I'll get better or unlock things that allow me to survive longer, but those are my initial impressions. I'll give it a couple more tries but it's sort of on the edge of being a VR game I'll really enjoy.

Very cool! Quite possibly the most intense...crazy...nauseating...disorienting VR experience. Not sure which word to use exactly. Which way is up or down? It doesn't matter. This game is crazy! The only things I didn't like were some bugginess in the menus, the scale felt a bit odd (like everything is slightly oversized), and there was almost an overwhelming amount of options and things to read (although I may have been impatient and frustrated last night because another game I was trying to play wasn't working). Definitely worth testing out. If you get motion sickness easy, get ready to puke everywhere, but it will still be worth it. I can't wait to play more of this game.

I played seated with a controller on the HTC Vive.

Fun Galaga-style arcade game. Very similar to the mini-game in "The Lab" by Valve. Challenging and intuitive. Looks decent. Overall well made and recommended!

Seems cool, but does not appear to work in VR which is why I bought it. I tried multiple times last night, but nothing worked. I have the HTC Vive. The "VR" button in-game doesn't do anything. Steam prompted me about having Steam VR open when I launch the game and to try in theater mode, but nothing worked. The HMD never displayed anything except the Steam VR home even though the game was running.

Another fun little VR experience. Floating around in space was cool. Graphics are decent. Short. My play through was probably 15-20 minutes and I was playing leisurely although I'm going to play it a second time because I'm not sure if there is an alternate ending or something I missed. There are comparable VR experiences for free, but $1.99 isn't bad if you have the cash lying around.

Fun little VR puzzle game. I really liked the shrinking room concept and the pressure it added. Only about 10-20 minutes of gameplay though. I feel like there are comparable VR experiences that are free-to-play, but for $0.99 it's hard to complain. Recommended if you have some spare cash lying around.
