A lot of VR lately. I got a Quest 2 not too long ago. Haven't really messed with VR since the Virtual Boy, so it's been quite the education how far VR has come since. A lot of what I keep going back to for it is Beat Saber, Ragnarock (Viking drumming game, reminds me of when I played Timpani in band back in high school, I even had four drums like the game does), Puzzling Places (putting together a 3D puzzle, works su…

Walkabout Golf VR is amazing too. I dismissed it as some cheap generic game, but it's really well done, feels just like mini golf, except with courses that can't exist in real life, and it's tons of fun.

Resident Evil 4 VR is also an amazing port. Really looking forward to more VR ports of older games because it's a totally different experience.

I used to game casually on PC years before. I don't anymore. I have other things to do that I give more priority to. I played GTA 5 some months ago. The whole story mode. I have purchased Factorio some weeks ago and I love it. I have played it for some hours. Would love to play more. Read Dead Redemption 2 looked very interesting when I saw a friend play it. I would like to buy and play it someday. Into The Breach is…

Are you saying you quit playing on PC to play on console?

What? No.

I always play on and played on PC.

Something I tried for a while, but it did not stick much mostly due to lack of time (and interest)- emulating old comsoles like Nintendo 3DS on laptop and playing them with a USB controller.

I just wanted to check out the Zelda series. I played one for a while, but the game has glitches.

I will return for more when I have time.

It Takes Two - super cute and inventive two player co-op. Perfect to play with your spouse and not too hard for non-gamers. Deep Rock Galactic - great co-op PvE with a lot of surprising depth and cool procedural generation of levels, some really great challenges Hunt: Showdown - intense PvPvE with fantastic gunplay in a well-drawn, period-accurate Lovecraftian setting Phasmophobia - ghost hunting co-op with enough ra…

Kept trying with my spouse but I got too stressed out actually. Reminds me of overcooked. I could only keep going with overcooked after watching people play the levels on youtube (so, cheating basically).

Oh man, I absolutely meant to include Walkabout Golf VR. It's excellent. I do keep coming back to that. Its mini-putt physics are dead-on.

Also Elevens Table Tennis is great too. Feels pretty accurate to me. Also seems like if I played it enough I could get better at real life table tennis.

I'm having a bit of difficulty getting into RE4. I kept getting killed in the first village where the chainsaw man is, near the beginning, and I was playing it on the easier setting.

I'm not bad at games or anything, I did fine in Half Life Alyx for example, but for some reason I kept getting swarmed and I run way out of town while shooting at them and run out of ammo then getting bit as I try to melee them.

I'll give it a try at some point, but for the moment I deleted it to make space for other games (I've been trying quite a bit, trying to get a good feel of what's out there as "research" for my game...

Just found out about Viveport the other day, where you can pay a monthly fee to play a bunch of VR games. Assuming that works with the Quest 2 I'll sign up for a subscription so I can knock out a bunch of games and find out which ones I like.
