Moss

++++,£12 / PSVR

This platform puzzler offers a one-of-a-kind

fable that’s perfect for VR.

Google Daydream View

++++,£99 / stuff.tv/DaydreamView

This budget-friendly option is the best way

of bringing VR to the masses.

Thumper

++++,from £16 / Oculus Rift, Vive, PSVR

This mesmerising rhythm game is best

played in VR, despite the lack of tracking.

PlayStation VR

+++,,from £300 / stuff.tv/PSVR

It can deliver incredible experiences, but

the PSVR is held back by niggling issues.

Blood & Truth

£30 / PSVR

Blood & Truth uses every trick available to deliver an absolutely

rollicking action thriller – sweaty palms are guaranteed. Covering

a huge breadth of environments and sequences that will make

you forget its relatively short runtime, it turns London into a

playground packed with dazzling action set-pieces, while the

story keeps you grounded with a likeable and compelling cast.

Anyone with a PSVR needs to play this; and for those who don’t

already own one, the time is now.

Oculus Quest

from £399 / stuff.tv/OculusQuest

The Quest offers all manner of fully interactive, roamable virtual

worlds that you can throw in your backpack without a single

wire. That’s a mindblowing technical feat. Yes, the battery life

is average, but the inside-out tracking and total absence of any

cables make this the best all-round VR headset to date. It also

ships with the Oculus Touch motion controllers included, which

means you can play fully fledged Oculus Rift titles without being

anywhere near a PC.

Stuff says +++++

A stunning full-length VR action blockbuster with

a great story

Stuff says +++++

If you’ve been waiting to board the VR bandwagon,

the Quest might be the best reason yet to go for it

Stuff says +++++

A superb 2-in-1 VR puzzler and shooter

Stuff says ++++,

A solid choice for immersive virtual reality

Stuff says +++++

Simply a thrilling VR experience

Stuff says ++++,

This hardcore headset is overkill for most

Superhot VR

from £16 / Oculus Rift, Vive, PSVR

There’s something really cool about hiding

behind a desk before blitzing your opponents

with streams of bullets as if you were starring

in your very own Matrix movie. A wonderfully

action-packed title.

HTC Vive

£499 / stuff.tv/HTCVive

There isn’t much difference between this

and the much cheaper Oculus Rift, in all

honesty. But if you’re thinking of upgrading

to the Vive Pro in the future, this is a great

gateway headset.

Farpoint

£16 / PSVR

If it weren’t in VR, Farpoint would be a

distinctly average space-based FPS. But

the PSVR headset and Aim Controller lift

it above the pack and make it a must-play,

not just for VR fans but also for FPS addicts.

HTC Vive Pro

£799 (headset only) / stuff.tv/HTCVivePro

This high-end headset offers the best

virtual reality experience by a long way,

but its sky-high price means you should

only really buy it if you’re a VR obsessive

with a super-powerful gaming PC.
