    Battlezone
    Battlezone is one of the best VR titles out there.

    VectorWars
    Ultimately, VectorWars is an enjoyable VR experience but not one that will remain with you long after your initial enthusiasm has passed. However, this has been reflected in the price, as Red Iron Labs has ensured that VectorWars has a remarkably low barrier for entry (at the time of writing the videogame is available on Steam for just £2.79 GBP). This makes VectorWars hard to fault beyond the limitation inherent to the genre, and an easy recommendation for a pick-up-and-play title not requiring too much thought.

    Blobby Tennis
    There is one massive upshot to the lack of content, and that’s the fact Blobby Tennis is free. And it needs to be or players wouldn’t be too happy if they paid for this. So is Blobby Tennis bad, actually no it isn’t. It’s not glitchy, everything looks and plays well, it just feels like an early access title that’s good for first-timers to VR. If the developer can expand the experience adding further replayability and more features then it’ll be more the better for it.

    Voxel Shot VR
    Voxel Shot VR feels like it’s playing on its novel, quirky characteristics. It can be fun to begin with – and younger players will certainly like it – but for HTC Vive gamers who’re used to titles like Raw Data, Space Pirate Trainer, Island 359, Serious Sam, Zombie Training Simulator and many more, Voxel Shot VR just doesn’t offer enough.

    Detached
    Detached has great elements to it, it looks good, the controls are excellent, and it offers some unique combat gameplay. It can feel spartan at times though and will really be hampered if there aren’t enough players for the PvP mode, which would really be a shame.

    Polybius
    Polybius is an excellent shooter that takes inspiration from the 80s arcade scene in the best of ways. It is a finely crafted experience that only benefits from being on the PlayStation VR. It can be an intense experience, however, and one best left to relatively short gameplay sessions lest the visual overload become too much. Owners of PlayStation VR should definitely look to add this to their library, as it is one of the best VR titles on the PlayStation at present. Jeff Minter and Llamasoft have got another winner.

    Symphony of the Machine
    What Symphony of the Machine really needs is another tower or two to complete, possibly joining several together in some way to increase the difficulty to a far higher degree. As a first title Stirfire Games has created an enjoyable experience while it lasts, everything is solid and works well and there were no real glitches or issues to speak of. Symphony of the Machine has some good ideas going for it, but for many players it’ll be seen as more of a tech demo than anything else.

    Bullet Sorrow VR
    What Bullet Sorrow VR does well is create a no-holds barred, bullet rich, shooting experience. The single-player mode shows you what VikingVRStudio is capable of, there’s just not enough of it. The multiplayer mode is the core experience in Bullet Sorrow VR, which means if you can find a match then great, the rest of the time you’ve got half a videogame.

    Cosmic Trip
    Cosmic Trip is one of those rare little VR treats you come across that suits VR players no matter their skill level. It’s a solidly put together single-player experience that will challenge you to almost controller throwing levels of frustration, but you’ll want to dive back in just to have ‘one more go’.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    FORM
    While FORM isn’t perfect, it sure comes close. Yes it’s a bit too easy, and could do with an extra hour or two of gameplay (the latter is really just a moan because you’ll just want more to play), but Charm Games has created a mesmerising experience from start to finish.

    Galaxis Wars
    If you’re looking for a solid little title that re-imagines those old vertical shooters, then give Galaxis Wars a look.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Slice&Dice
    VRotein claim Slice & Dice has over 20 hours of gameplay but that’s not necessarily the case as this is completely dependent on how good you are at this type of videogame. What can be said is that the latter levels will test your patience so you may want to put those controllers down once in awhile. If you want a novel VR challenge, you can’t go wrong with Slice & Dice.

    Star Trek: Bridge Crew
    The production values are top notch making Star Trek: Bridge Crew one of those rare VR experiences that feels like a AAA title, and likely part of most VR gamers’ collections.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    VR Slugger: The Toy Field
    It’s another one of those VR titles that works well enough but isn’t going to hold your attention for massive length’s of time, more of a dip in and out videogame for HTC Vive, when you’re bored of all the shooting titles available for the headset.

    Arizona Sunshine
    Vertigo Games has created a hugely enjoyable FPS videogame for the early days of VR, but one which will undoubtedly look dated in just a few months.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ancient Amuletor
    Ancient Amuletor is a fun way to kill a few hours, with some simple, intuitive combat and enough interesting innovations to keep it fresh. Along with the lovely graphics making it nice to look at. Sadly though, the title lacks depth and longevity with only four levels and no particular incentive to reply. The developers have mentioned that some DLC is in the works, though, which could redeem this title above a simple, casual time-killer.

    Front Defense
    Front Defense is an experience that leaves you wanting. It’s one of those titles in which you can see bags of potential in the individual elements but ultimately it just doesn’t fit together as a perfect whole. You’ll play it a few times, complete it, but then never be drawn back to face another wave of Axis forces.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The Mage's Tale
    Technical gripes aside The Mage’s Tale is a really good magical adventure that really puts you into the heart of the experience. The story provides hours worth of gameplay and the potion creation side adds even more fun, mixing and matching various items to see what they do. If you’ve been looking for a decent fantasy RPG then you can’t go too far wrong with this.

    Lone Echo
    Ready at Dawn has created an experience that every Oculus Touch owner needs in their library, with the only negative point to the whole experience being that it ends.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Archangel
    Archangel accomplishes much of what it sets out to do; a frequently intense on-rails shooter that looks spectacular and challenges players within its own predetermined rule set. However, it’s perhaps a case of limited ambition from the start that has kept Archangel from achieving more, as the genre chosen was one born of hardware limitation decades ago, and even now in these early days of VR those limitations are simply no longer there.

    Heroes of the Seven Seas
    Ultimately, Heroes of the Seven Seas fails to rise about its roots as a simplistic mobile title. There is fun to be had sailing around and blowing stuff up, but at best it will kill a couple of hours before boredom sets in. In the end, the short length, poor writing and uninspired graphics let it down considerably. The PlayStation VR is capable of so much better than this.

    Just In Time Incorporated
    Just In Time Incorporated is a VR title that you’ll enjoy from start to finish. With its comedy styling’s, slow motion mechanics and simple pick up and play gameplay, it’s suited to any VR player. Unfortunately it’s desperately missing that replay factor, there’s nothing to keep you coming back once you’ve completed it – which isn’t that hard to do.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Rez Infinite
    Yes, Rez Infinite is somewhat short, with an initial playthough possibly taking around a couple of hours, but you’ll enjoy (or should enjoy) every minute of it. So much so you’ll probably keep replaying it, improving your score, evolving your character and just taking in the whole spectacle. In answer to the first paragraph’s question about whether Oculus Rift and HTC Vive owners should be excited about Rez Infinite’s release, this is one VR videogame that should be in your library.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Smashbox Arena
    Smashbox Arena was blatantly built to be a multiplayer title, but the lack of cross-platform play and sparsely populated servers for the PlayStation VR hurts it a lot. The single-player mode is barely worth the time, and it lacks any sort of depth. If you have lots of friends to play with online, it might be worth a look, but otherwise, there are better titles available.

    Dash Dash Run!
    Dash Dash Run! is a fun, novel videogame that’s great if you want a quick workout to work up a sweat. Unfortunately, there’s so little to the title after running the small amount of courses a few times that after about half an hour you’ll be done, moving onto something that’s got more to offer. [Tested with HTC Vive]

    TimeLock VR
    At present it can only be classed as an average VR videogame at best.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Killing Floor: Incursion
    The videogame does have its faults but they aren’t gameplay breaking. Killing Floor: Incursion’s single-player campaign is a glorious action romp that’s easy to play through in one sitting. One thing not mentioned so far is the fact that there’s a co-op option, and as every gamer should know, bringing a mate along to cover each others back only increases the fun factor.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rangi
    VR puzzlers can be equally entertaining and annoying at the same time, which is why they tend to have a popular following. Rangi is one of those enjoyable experiences that just works. Sure it can’t match the cinematic spectacle of FORM but then its not trying to, delivering a character all of its own.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dracula: Vampires vs. Zombies
    To be brutally honest it’s still a fairly generic wave shooter where everything pops up around you, and as long as you’ve reasonably quick and accurate it shouldn’t be too difficult to complete. That being said the bow is awesome fun and a joy to use. If you’re after a simple, pick up and play shooter then there’s nothing wrong with Dracula: Vampires vs. Zombies – it’s certainly one of the better ones. Should you be looking for a title that features loads of immersive gameplay, story, and really explores VR technology then you should look elsewhere.
