The Oculus Rift was hard to get out of the door. Shipment delays and scarce game libraries had a big impact on the market during the first six months. Then a delayed Oculus Touch controller arrives at the end of 2016, improving the quality of most games and giving the player full motion control with each hand.
It's now out of service, and Oculus Rift continues to show a solid, solid experience. From first-person shooters to scary psychological horror games, quirky puzzle games, and cooperative games, there's something for everyone on this platform. We compiled a library of the best Oculus Rift games available on VR headsets today.

Fisherman's story
Virtual reality is often used as a tool for the player to live in an unfamiliar world and act like a hero of the story, Fisherman's story It requires a more surreal approach.

Invisible time
Developer Tequila Works has tried something slightly different using VR. Murder mystery spending time observing various people and their roles in the story. Nestled in a huge mansion owned by the story's murder victim, Nikola Tesla, your mission is to wander the house as a ghost, an invisible observer, find clues and find out what people are actually doing and who the killer is is.
If you stick to the genre, everyone depends on something, and the story is very distorted. Spend time on rewinding and fast-forwarding to track the movements of others throughout the mansion and collect clues about who you are, why they existed and what you did. Although less interactive than most interactive environments Invisible time When it comes to storytelling, we suggest some cool things you can do with VR and give players the ability to roam the space.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew
Perhaps the best multiplayer VR experience so far. Star Trek: Bridge Crew Users can become members of starfleet crews such as James T. Kirk, Montgomery Scott, Hikaru Sulu, and Pavel Chekov to express their childhood fantasies.
Players work in a team of four in one of four roles: pilot, engineer, tactician, or captain. Each task (which works best with the Oculus Touch controller but can play with the Xbox One controller) requires the player to manipulate the computer panel. Bridge crew The need to work together for success excels in cooperative games. It feels like you are living inside the episode Star trek. In short, if you have a group Bridge crew It should be at the top of your wish list.

Technology
Imagine a kind of cyberpunk, virtual dystopia from science fiction and movies of the 1980s and 90s. Technology. It's a kind of game where many evil companies “restock” as hackers across virtual landscapes to steal data.
Dark, dark and completely retro future. All are worth seeing. TechnologyIn-game game moments are also cool and fun add-ons and add multiple layers to your VR experience.
Destiny: Pledge of Silence
Viking center Destiny When his family returns to the village with an accident, he plays the role of a person on the verge of death. The gifts of the gods kept you in Valhalla but gave you your voice, something strange is happening in Nordic mythology.
Destiny It's a bit slow as a story-driven game, but heavy on character development and conspiracy. There is magic and mystery with very few Nordic myths here, and VR is used to put you in the shoes of a character who simply wants to save people in order not to completely destroy you.
conference
Another story-rich experience, conference Basically it's a first-person adventure game where players collect items, solve puzzles, interact with characters and collect information from the environment to unlock stories. conference It's done in a secret science lab. Here personal drama meets the consequences of unintended gods. It's not a lot of action conference Useful VR tricks to solve VR motion problems.

Robo Recall Shows the brilliance of the Oculus Touch controller. Best of all, you can play for free.

Occupation Simulator: 2050 Archive
Evidence that VR from Owlchemy Labs excels at transforming mental work into exciting and sometimes innovative experiences Occupation Simulator: 2050 Archive Will play as advertised. But ordinary VR is fascinating. Who would have thought this would happen? This year is 2050 and humans have automated every task.

As a convenience store clerk you can ring chips and drinks, repair your car as a mechanic, use the teppanyaki as a short-term cooking chef, or handle paperwork with a steel mill 9-5 office staff. Of course this is a robot think The task was the same, so it can be different and much more fun than you remember.
Vacation simulator
From the same bizarre people who brought you Job simulator, Vacation simulator I know that sometimes you need to rest and rest. Of course, vacationing is not sunlit, but full of mini games in environments like mountains, forests, beaches.

Unspoken
It is the closest place to be a wizard at home. Oculus Exclusive Unspoken The heralded developer Insomniac Games does a very impressive job that makes you feel like you're doing a lot of wizard work without making a lot of impressions.
Unspoken It's an urban fantasy filled with customizable wizards and spellcasters, just one of them. The various orders deployed through the Oculus Touch controller feel as if they were actually guided at your fingertips. There's a bit of exploration and a lewd game world here, but the meat of experience comes from a duel that helps to advance the ranks of the wizard fighting club. Unlike the fight clubs you think it's okay to talk about this. We recommend playing it.
Chronos
For those who want to play traditional video games and find the VR world comfortably Chronos Good option. Easy comparison Dark Soul. This game is full of pitched sword duel, where you have to hit carefully and stay alive by blocking enemy attacks.
Chronos In favor of a third-person view of viewing and controlling the action from a separate perspective, it avoids the usual VR approach of first-person view. Much like a camera recording an event.
Edge of nowhere
Insomniac Games took a horror in virtual reality in a different way from almost all other games of its genre on the platform. Use first-person view to place the camera behind the main character, not following the usual path, as if wearing the hero's shoes and looking through the eyes. Chronos.
The result is a more psychological and clandestine fear. Edge of nowhere It's one of those VR games that I think could easily exist as a more traditional game, but I'm experimenting with the platform to find new ways to surprise players.
Subnautica
Survival games seem to be all the rage these days, and the best survival offer from Oculus Rift is Subnautica. After a giant spaceship crash in the alien sea, your mission is to save the rubble and find your way through.
That means gathering edible plants, finding the components needed to purify the water and gathering the materials necessary to make the tool. Oh, and not to have lunch with alien animals either. Subnautica It's still actively developing (in Early Access in Steam) and not completely complete. But it gives a strange and beautiful world to get lost.
Megaton Rainfall
It's amazing that more developers haven't created a superhero experience with the power trip you can experience in virtual reality. Megaton Rainfall It's one of the few places out there, and it can cause powerful explosions on enemies and buildings lined up through the sky.
Like Superman, you can get out of Earth's atmosphere and head for space.

Lucky story
Although it's another game that's not Really Must be in virtual reality Lucky story It's still a great way to relax in VR and it's a fun way to take advantage of the way Rift suggests that players exist in space.
The game is mainly similar Mario 64But it acts as a camera where the player mouses over the action. The ability to look around the universe does something interesting with standard platforming formulas. in Lucky story, The way you deal with levels depends on how you view each part of the level.
Mount wingsuit
If you're an ordinary, wholesome person, the prospect of jumping off a cliff in a wingsuit is terrible and in reality it's something you can never really do. Mount wingsuit It's a really welcome VR experience.
Starting from high peaks, race through the mountainside, running through the air, trying to fly through rings and avoid timely (bloody) death. Luckily, the death you're going to have is virtual too, so you can learn from your mistakes and go another way.
Role play

Tetris effect
Tetris effect It's totally magical. It's rather amazing because everyone is another repetition of one puzzle game. Tetris effect Add music and environmental effects created in awesome studios. Lumine and Reds. The electronic soundtrack responds to each twist and turn in the falling block. When you empty the line, the environmental effects surrounding the board, such as animals, fireworks, and the skyline, dazzle and burst to create a calming and winning visual display.
In VR, the effect is much more affected. Tetris effect Beautiful and artistic spin of the classic puzzle. Calm and energetic at once.

A person wearing a headset can see and interact with bombs covered with special panels, each of which presents a puzzle that requires a solution for removing explosives. But VR players have no idea what it means to see what they are seeing. Therefore, it will help others in the room to explain it using the ultra-complicated bomb dismantling manual.
The game requires quick thinking, communication and teamwork, and there are fun moments when players scramble to find the right information in the manual. Best of all, having fun playing VR games is an excuse.
I expect you to die
The title of this game allows you to expect different horror experiences, but vice versa. I expect you to die Become the world's most capable secret agent and help you complete some clever puzzles interspersed with fun conversations and terrible situations.
