It combines the exciting notion of wielding swords with the fun of moving to the beat, resulting in an all-around entertaining game that anyone can enjoy. Players can test their synchronisation skills by ensuring they never miss a note, while trying to avoid obstacles. You might even recognise the music with special editions featuring Queen, Daft Punk and The Rolling Stones.  

It's not just the music that makes Beat Saber a great game, there’s also interactive and visually stunning gameplay.

3. No Man’s Sky

No Man’s Sky is an expansive adventure game that’s had several iterations since its first release in 2016, including its popular VR game. It’s famous for being one of the first games to feature a procedurally generated universe, giving users the power to create a seemingly infinite number of worlds. As a result, players can get lost in exploring a wide range of planets, new species and ecosystems all at their fingertips.

VR technology allows for immersive exploration in No Man’s Sky. Players can feel as though they are standing on a new planet and walking among foreign environments. Who needs to fly to space when you can put your VR headset on and be transported to another world?  

The visual effects are also other-worldly, making for an engaging and realistic experience. But you can’t take in the scenery for too long as there is work to do. Players have to take part in activities like building a base, mining for resources and even combat, adding a physical element to the game. Luckily there is a multi-player mode so you can share some of the hard work.

 

4. Moss

Using the PSVR headset, players can view the game from their own perspective and control Quill as they look to navigate this fantasy world. The aim is to solve a range of puzzles and overcome a number of obstacles, making for an engaging and thought-provoking gameplay.

There are many reasons why Moss is a great PSVR game. From fostering a sense of companionship with Quill, to its immersive storytelling and interactive environment, users can truly feel like they have stepped into a new world.
