Walkabout mini golf
When I do a VR game review, I’m going to include this Walkabout mini golf because it is hands down my favorite VR experience. I think you should buy this game at full price, so even though it’s discounted, it’s a no-brainer.
The courses are varied and beautiful, the mechanics feel lifelike and it also offers a great multiplier experience. But honestly, just stop reading this and buy it if you haven’t already (then come back and keep reading for more suggestions).
Dungeons of Eternity
Dungeons of Eternity is an action-packed dungeon crawler that offers an addictive combination of excellent physics-based combat with a satisfying gameplay loop of exploring dungeons full of monsters.
What really takes this game to the next level is the multiplayer mode. Just get a few friends together and you can tackle the hordes of horrors together – and maybe get a little fitter in the process, as this was one of a personal trainer’s recommended VR titles for those wanting to try VR fitness.
What’s even better is that this is a big discount, so it’s a great time to finally try it Dungeons of Eternity if you haven’t already.
The last clock winder
This VR puzzle game is my favorite for those looking for a more serious experience – combining an intriguing mystery story with a host of engaging mechanics.
Your goal is to restore the Clocktower’s gardens to grow various fruits using a small army of robots that mimic your movements – all while searching for the missing Clockwinder. Simply record an action and an automaton will spawn to mimic what you’ve done on a loop; By linking these robots together, you create complex sequences to solve the different puzzles your way.
What makes The last clock winder What’s nice for puzzle fans like me is that while each mission can be completed with as many robots as you can spawn, there are in-game challenges and rewards that encourage you to be as efficient as possible.
This means that beginners can always find a solution, but experts will have a real challenge finding an optimal solution – which often requires precise movements and out-of-the-box thinking.
Keep talking and no one will explode
This VR multiplayer game is a perfect choice for people who want to enjoy VR together but only have one headset.
One player – the person in VR – can see a complex bomb with several puzzle modules that need to be solved to deactivate it. The other player (or players) may see a complex manual, much of which may be irrelevant to the virtual bomb you are trying to defuse. Working together, the duo must defuse the explosive before a timer runs out or too many mistakes are made.
It’s chaotic, it’s fun, and now it’s on sale for a great price.
I Expect You to Die collection
If you’ve ever wanted to be James Bond – even if sometimes you feel more like Austin Powers – then this virtual escape room series is just what you need. This game series is packed with every spy trope under the sun (complete with great theme songs that I have in my playlist) and is an absolute joy to play – it’s one of those VR games that everyone should play.
This double pack includes the first and second games at a discounted price, but if you already own one or both, you can purchase all three games in the series individually for a lower than normal price:
The Light Brigade
In this roguelike VR shooter you fight through a dark world full of corrupt soldiers and monsters. If you fail (and you will), you can try your mission again, but be careful as the dungeon you adventure through will have a different layout each time you enter.
The Light Brigade is suitably adrenaline-pumping, with semi-realistic World War I weapons to deal with, a wide range of formidable enemies and a large selection of classes to switch between – each with a unique gameplay style. As you progress, you can upgrade your soldier’s skills to make future runs a little easier.
I love The Light Brigade – every time I start it up it keeps me busy for hours – and at this price it’s a certified must-play.
Among Us VR
I love social deduction games – whether they are board games Secret Hitler And Coupor video games like City of Salem And Among us – and this VR version is an absolute riot.
The first-person perspective and proximity chat make the experience feel much more immersive (read: it’s a lot scarier to be a crew member), and meetings are much more engaging compared to using the flat game’s text chat option – although only chat VR lobbies are available.
At just $7.49 / £5.99, Among Us VR is a must-buy bargain.
Assassin’s Creed Nexus
This is the only game on this list that I haven’t played yet – ignoring an early access demo I tried when I first tried out the Meta Quest 3 – but I’ve heard great things about it and it’s on my wishlist to to play list for a while now.
Nexus lets you play as the series’ most iconic Assassins in VR recreations of iconic locations from the original games. I’m told it can be a bit janky at times, but the combat and parkour experience are good enough to stick the landing and help you achieve your dream of joining the Brotherhood.
This isn’t the biggest discount in the world, but since this is a pricey game to begin with, we’ll take any discount we can get.
