Pros
- + Awesome physical model allows you to feel good control over the ball and racket
- + Wide range of platforms

- + Ability to play solo or multiplayer with real players or friends

Pros
- + Cool feeling when you are playing the game, grab the alien spheres
- + Really impressive feedback and behaviors
- + First impression is really amazing
- + Medium, quite balanced difficulty of the puzzles
- + Nice mechanics and environment
Cons
- – In general, not much changes in gameplay during your progress
- – Progress just unlocks other kind of worlds and more complicated puzzles
- – Not very important, but menus, dialogues etc remind you it's an indie game
We would really recommend this game, because it is very valuable and original game, which is made by only one person. It's not that type of game you'll launch very often, but it have some replayability potential and it generates really amazing feeling of what is happening

Pros
- + Really good game mechanics and idea
- + Perfectly picked up game speed, that allows you to react on opponent's action: attack and defend yourself at the same time
- + Different modes and arenas, ability to play versus bots or real players (including friends), social lobbies with different simple games and voice chat
- + A wide variety of weapons concluded not in external differences, but in the nature of damage and the tactics of its use
- + Smoothly increasing complexity of opponents, corresponding to your game level
- + Suitable for a quick game (match duration is between 2 and 4 minutes
Cons
- – Single-player campaign's is a bit boring and lacks of solid story
- – Lack of players in specific non-popular time of the day
This duel game is great for a short breaks (a match lasts around 2-4 minutes) and allows you to warm up a bit, as it requires active movements. If you are looking for an easy competitive and replayable game, we definitely recommend it!

Pros
- + Awesome idea and drumsticks mechanics

- + Different and very atmospheric environments
- + Very flexible difficulty settings
Cons
- – Doesn't have such replayability as Beat Saber (with custom tracks) :D
- – Doesn't have mods and custom tracks support
A great indie rhythm-game for chilling out or sweating like rock-star depending on your needs. No doubts it will reach it's wide audience and will find it's place in Oculus Store charts

- + Great tutorial, suitable even for VR newbies

One of the BEST games for everyone in the whole VR industry of all the time. Fits for everyone, who doesn't avoid physical activity. No entry barrier, extremely simple and immersive. STRONGLY recommended for use with BSaber.com and custom songs mod.

Pros
- + Amazing game mechanics and overall feeling, nice soundtrack
- + Very solid level of visualization and game look for both PC and Quest versions
- + Flexible difficulty settings and different modifiers
- + Easy to learn with integrated tutorial, suites for people to introduce VR
- + Great post-release support from developers (4 free DLCs released, including two different story modes)
Cons

Absolutely amazing must-have music game, with flawless gameplay and immersion. Requires large amount of physical activity from the player on hard levels, but might be played on easier levels in more relaxed/chilling way with less physical activity. High level of re-playability and low threshold.

Zombieland

Jan 9, 2022
Pros
- + Good but simple physics, nice sound design and music
- + Recreates the atmosphere of the movie "Zombieland"
- + Most of the characters are voiced by original film actors
- + Suitable for newbie players, even for the first acquaintance with VR
- + The environment is varied and non-repetitive
- + Gradual increase in difficulty level
Cons
- – The graphic part is very regular, nothing special
- – Not replayable after completion
- – Don't except too much from the physics and gameplay mechanics, this game is quite simple
It is good to spend a week or two to go through the story campaign in this simple, but atmospheric game. But after passing the whole story you probably won't play it again. Mechanics and physics are a bit similar to Drop Dead: Dual Strike.
Space Pirate Trainer
Wonderful game from early VR products, modernized and updated with really original ideas for non-single-player street-scale experiences

Jan 6, 2022
Pros
- + Nice mechanics and feel/feedback from the items you use
- + Gradually increasing complexity
- + Interesting implementation of an energy shield that can be used for protection
- + Energetic soundtrack in the heavy music genre
- + Recently added multiplayer mode with a contestable elements
- + Real MIND BLOWING street-scale mode in the recent Oculus Quest update
Cons
- – Quite boring after playing for a while
- – Classic (non-street-scale mode) is not very replayable and has rather monotonous mechanics.
- – Street-scale mode (only for Oculus Quest) needs very complicated space (half of basketball/football field, at least 30x30 meters) and internet connection
For its time, it was a bright shooting range with original solutions. The game still remains a good attraction and a good start for newbies in VR. The recently released update with Arena (street-scale) mode is really awesome, but it's quite difficult for most players to find a suitable space to play and it's available only on Oculus Quest headsets.
