I'm not the biggest VR player ever, partly due to time restrictions, partly due to the exertions involved in getting something off a shelf and plugging it in ... but when Im in the mood it hits the mark like nothing else.
Motivation today came from an overdue trip into Area X on Rez. This is, and may always be, the single-most amazing gaming experience I've ever had. Not just the first time I played it but every time I play it. It just takes me somewhere really happy. It's like what every 80s kid wished future gaming would be. And it's one of those rare games that's worth owning the system for alone.
But there are other treats too. After blowing my mind with Rez I put on Pinball FX VR for the first time. Pinball is something gaming has done very well for years but the feeling of actually standing at a table adds a whole other layer. But for a layer that brings the experience closer to reality, it's interesting that the environments (while playing each table) are alive and animated with fantastical stuff going on. It's not a game breaker, but I'd have preferred and old fashioned arcade full of noise, but perhaps not people asking for your last credit.
