This week's top 5 VR game picks are all about adventure and exploration. These are games that are mostly open world, and deliver big when it comes to atmosphere and surroundings. Grab a fedora and channel your inner Indiana Jones... these are our five favorite VR Exploration games! (In no particular order...)
No Man's Sky 🚀 - We're told there's an actual game to be played, but honestly getting lost on hopelessly beautiful planets (or being petrified on absolutely horrifying ones) is where this game shines in VR. You'll want a hefty graphics card and your settings cranked all the way to truly appreciate just how visually stunning this game is.
Fallout 4 👻 - If planet hopping doesn't do it for you, maybe roaming around a post-nuclear wasteland does. Battle Super Mutants, Ghouls, and Raiders and collect all the caps. This is a franchise awesome enough to get an Amazon Prime series... trust us. It's awesome.
Skyrim VR ⚔️ - Our resident Skyrim enthusiast insists that the best way to play the game is as a Khajiit and level up on heavy armour and two-handed. "Because a battle cat is hilarious." With the ability to run mods in VR, this might be your best bet if you want to get lost in a virtual open world.
Half-Life Alyx 💥 - This is the only linear game on our list, but there are enough opportunities to look around, and the fact that you can interact with every single object in the game pushes this game into the 'exploration' realm for us. It's critically acclaimed for a reason... the gameplay is on point, the story is tight, and the graphics are bananas. This is due in part to the game having been designed from the ground up as a VR game. (Unlike the rest of this list. No shade.)
Euro Truck Simulator 2 🚛 - This was our curveball pick. Certainly not a traditional open world game in that your are driving around on roads and completing tasks. But you do get to just kinda drive around and sight see. This was a game we discovered thanks to a client request, and if you are into the sim genre, this one's a blast.
