    Summer Funland
    For gamers the issue remains about replay, and how many times you want to sit on the same ride, or whack the same penguins. No matter how good it looks, Summer Funland won’t quite have that same draw as more focused titles. Summer Funland may not light the VR world on fire but it provides an enjoyable – if somewhat short – piece of entertainment. If you’ve got kids or want an all-in-one experience to show VR virgins then Summer Funland is an ideal starting point.

    Island 359
    It’s been a long wait but it was worth it. Island 359 offers a proper showcase of what can be built specifically for VR when enough time and effort is put in. It’s not 100 percent perfect in places but the videogame offers enough of everything that you won’t really care. Grab that gun and get hunting in this thoroughly enjoyable and engaging VR shooter.

    OVERVIEW
    An awe inspiring educational experience that's somewhat restrained. The main disappointment was the inability to get a closer look at each of the planets themselves. Earth wasn’t a problem, but after seeing them in the Story mode, it would’ve been nice to look at the planets in closer detail at leisure. No amount of fiddling with the controls would allow this, which was a shame for such a technically impressive educational experience.

    Boxed In (2017)
    Boxed In is one of those pleasurable time wasters like the videogames you play on your smartphone. What it lacks in amazing visuals, convoluted narrative or ground breaking gameplay, it makes up for by having a plucky, no nonsense attitude to VR gaming. It may not be a library essential, yet for its price Boxed In is a great little VR bargain for puzzle fans.

    VRFC Virtual Reality Football Club
    While the videogame has many issues deriving from the limitations of the hardware upon which it is built, VRFC: Virtual Reality Football Club remains one of the best sports experiences VR has to offer. More than that however, it’s also one of the best social VR experiences currently available, with the tension of competition and the misery of defeat likely to help make new friends (and potentially enemies) across the VR community.

    Escape Room VR: Stories
    There’s plenty to like in Escape Room VR: Stories, with lots to find and a reasonable amount of puzzles to solve in each level, and the visuals are some of the best you’ll see in any virtual reality (VR) title. There are some rough edges however, and even with the multiple endings puzzle fans will still find this a short experience.

    Conjuror's Eye
    This is a short and sweet VR experience from the fledgling development team, with a few puzzles to solve using just one magical mechanic, object scaling. Conjuror’s Eye as a whole is a novel little time waster. It’ll only take around 20 minutes to complete so it’s a nice little break from some of the lengthier VR titles available now.

    Island Time VR
    The initial premise of Island Time makes for fun quirky experience to begin with. Utilising repetitive gameplay however cuts a fine line between addictive ‘must try harder’ and boring tedium, a line that Island Time really does sit on. It is hard not to like Island Time yet after five or six longer sessions that sheen starts to wear off as the variety does.

    Zombie Grenades Practice
    Zombie Grenades Practice has a lot of positives going for it, with a nice mixture of levels and options with which to complete them. The optimisation problem is going to be an issue for some – if you don’t have a GTX 1070 or an AMD RX Vega 56 or higher then don’t bother – yet for those with the kit Zombie Grenades Practice is a reasonable, albeit short, VR experience that offers a change from all the guns.

    STAR SOD
    STAR SOD is a very worthy effort for a lone coder, and shows a great deal of promise, but at times feels a little unpolished for a supposedly finished title. There are hints that this could evolve into a larger series of videogames, and further development of the idea seems a worthy goal. At present, it is an excellent showcase of one developer’s talent, which is worth checking out.

    Kartong: Death by Cardboard!
    There are points when Kartong – Death by Cardboard can feel repetitious and samey, constantly running around cardboard mazes, either hiding in sheer terror or barrelling in, your pin loaded crossbow at the ready. Yet this dark, twisted fantasy world has a charm all of its own, both equally scary and wondrous at the same time.

    Starbear: Taxi
    Starbear: Taxi skirts a fine line quirky VR puzzler and short tech demo. Thankfully it leans more towards the former, offering an amusingly addictive experience that can actually draw you in for some time. It’s not on the same level as Cosmic Trip yet for those after a quick and simple time killer its ideal.

    Wheelchair Simulator VR
    The core ‘obstacle course’ style gameplay is fun but can be a little shallow, repetitive and frustrating at points. However, being frustrated is almost the point of the experience, ViRa Games’ title is something to learn from, an experience that could really only work in VR and that opens your eyes and creates empathy for others. It would be great to see more videogames like this, putting you in the shoes of someone who wasn’t a powerful wizard or secret agent.

    Laser Puzzle in VR
    Laser Puzzle in VR is certainly one for the VR puzzle aficionados. It’s got a decent amount of content and the difficulty level ramps up at a steady pace that you shouldn’t get too stuck until later on. Yes the design is sparse but at least it works in a min spec PC so everyone can enjoy it. Considering ARVI’s VR titles released so far, Laser Puzzle in VR is probably the best.

    They Suspect Nothing
    They Suspect Nothing is a consistent bundle of fun mini-games, yet as a launch title slightly underwhelming. It’s a safe and easy experience for gamers of all ages that looks great and plays well. On the other hand They Suspect Nothing isn’t Coatsink’s best VR work, that’s still Augmented Empire (which handily now supports Oculus Go).

    Republique VR
    République VR is a well-designed VR experience that sits well on Oculus Go, and certainly showcases how good the lenses are on the headset. The puzzles may not be the most difficult with the main challenge purely resting on evasion, yet there’s enough to keep you engaged for many hours. Up against similar mobile titles like Augmented Empire and Term1nal, République VR should definitely be on your library list.

    Fruit for the Village
    Should you complete the main campaign then there’s always survival mode, which is exactly the same just without end, like some kind of VR torture. There’s nothing wrong with throwing the rulebook out and trying something new but there’s always that chance something doesn’t click. And it doesn’t with Fruit for the Village. It’s easy to see there’s polish and finesse to the title yet the core gameplay is more gamejam than professional puzzler.

    Red Matter
    All in all, Red Matter is a very high calibre VR experience, neatly weaving its story and puzzle elements together. It by no means perfect, following the line of other puzzles in VR that are seemingly unable to offer plenty of reasons to come back for more. So like a good meal take it slowly and savour the moment.

    Paws 'n Claws VR
    If you enjoy VR videogames like Kittypocalypse then Paws ‘n Claws has that similar charm to it. It’s a fun little time waster that younger players will certainly enjoy. It lacks the depth of other tower defence experiences and just doesn’t quite have enough uniqueness in its gameplay offerings to shine in its own right.

    Lila's Tale
    Lila’s Tale is a quaint VR experience which will enthral a younger player but older gamers will likely find the title to be a little hollow. With nine levels to play through and the challenge on really setting in after five or six, game time is going to be short and sweet. But with no secrets to find, the replay factor is limited. Not an essential purchase for Oculus Go, there are others in this genre that are better.

    Orb Labs, Inc.
    For a title produced by a very small, independent developer, Orb Labs Inc does an excellent job of creating a world and immersing you in it. The gameplay flow is great once you get the hang of it, and it offers an interesting story.

    Black Hat Cooperative
    Black Hat Cooperative is great for players who have another person handy who would be willing to switch in and out of VR, though the many, many deaths and failures you will experience can cause frustration, there is nonetheless a sense of camaraderie and joy to be found in Black Hat Cooperative that is well worth exploring.

    Magic Flight Academy
    Magic Flight Academy needs to offer an awful lot more for the single-player experience for the price. What exists on Steam is exhilarating and reasonably fun, but simply isn’t worth the price of admission, especially when you consider the high-quality VR titles available on Steam for the same or lower price that offer much more in way of content.

    Cygnus Defense Alpha
    Cygnus Defense Alpha is a fun little experience that’s certainly enjoyable for the couple of hours the 15 levels last. A neat little time waster it might be but it’s a shame there’s not a lot more on offer as the idea behind the videogame is sound. This is one of those titles that make for a good introductory purchase for Oculus Go because its cheap, but you’ll soon find yourself wanting something with a little more depth.

    HoloLAB Champions
    As a normal piece of VR content HoloLAB Champions is short but sweet, offering an informative introduction into the world of chemistry. This isn’t the sort of title where you can go all mad scientist and create crazy concoctions – there’s Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality for that – but it’s not meant to be. As a teaching tool it’s quite easy to see how VR has a place within education.

    Electronauts
    Survios has managed to do what few VR developers have done, secure a hat trick of quality titles that should be in everyone’s library. Electronauts combines a wonderfully elaborate yet perfectly simple gameplay design alongside some of the best dance tunes from around the world, making for a videogame that will have you playing for hours and wanting just one more go.

    Gates Of Nowhere
    Overall, Gates of Nowhere is a visually stunning hack-and-slash dungeon crawler with enough other things to do like magic crafting, exploration and puzzle solving to make it absorbing and engaging. Though some aspects of the combat, such as the bow and arrow, could still use a tweaking, this title is certainly worth your time.

    Code 51: Mecha Arena
    Let’s be clear that while Code51: Mecha Arena looks good and the gameplay design makes for a comfortable fighting title, it does still feel like its lacking substance. With so few additional options it can’t compete with Archangel: Hellfire for shear gameplay finesse. Code51: Mecha Arena needs more, otherwise it’s one of those videogames that’s great for 30 minutes or so before you want to move onto something else.

    Symphonics
    Symphonics isn’t going to be for everyone, it’s way too stark at the moment. However, if you love VR and creating your own music then this is certainly worth a look for the cheap price as it is entertaining, and VRFocus will be interested in seeing it take shape.

    Paper Fire Rookie Arcade
    With its mix of comedy charm and light-hearted gameplay Paperville Panic provides and enjoyable VR escape that should put a smile on players faces. There are some short comings with experienced players likely to find it on the short side. Even so, there’s still a decent amount of fun to be had as you shoot Paperville citizens in the face.
