What are the best VR experience games?

Virtual Reality is something you need to experience. And what better way to do that than by playing VR experience games? A VR experience game is a game where the goal is not so much within the game itself, but rather to experience the game. A well-known example of this is Richie's Plank. In this VR game, you step into a lift and are taken to the top floor of a tall building. Once you reach the top, the lift doors open, and you are tasked with stepping out of the lift. The only catch is... there is just a thin plank beneath you, and you are almost 80 floors high!

TheBlu

In theBlu, you find yourself in a stunning underwater world of the great ocean. The game consists of three (short) VR experiences. During the first experience, you come almost literally face-to-face with a gigantic whale! Due to the beautiful graphics and the simplicity of the game, theBlu is the ultimate game to showcase the capabilities of virtual reality. It offers excellent opportunities to demonstrate a VR headset.

Don't Let Go

Don't Let Go perfectly demonstrates why VR is so special. It is a VR game with very simple graphics, but the gameplay is what makes this game so unique. In Don't Let Go, you only need to do one thing: don't let go. The aim of the game is to hold down both keys on your keyboard during the game. While you have these two keys pressed, the craziest things happen in the game. It feels as if real creatures are crawling over your hands!

Nature Treks VR

Nature Treks VR is a VR experience characterised by the tranquillity it exudes. A player puts on the headset and can immediately explore several beautiful places around the world. For example, walk through the savannah in Africa or visit the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. With its soothing music, Nature Treks VR is a true 'zen' experience, and you will feel completely relaxed after playing it.

Google Earth VR

For first-time VR users, Google Earth VR is already quite an experience. It shows well what VR is capable of; you can travel the world in no time and see places in high quality that you might never otherwise see! Google Earth is one of the best (and also free) VR experience apps. With relatively simple headsets like the Oculus Go, you can experience virtual reality as it was originally intended. This experience is also incredibly fun to use with older people. For example, you can use Google Earth to go back to the house where someone grew up or travel to a place someone has always wanted to visit.

Richie’s Plank Experience

As already mentioned in this list, Richie's Plank Experience is the ultimate VR experience game. It is a unique game because you can incorporate elements from the real world into the game. In Richie's Plank Experience, you step into a lift and are sent 80 floors up. Once you reach the top, the lift doors open, and you suddenly find yourself standing on a thin plank above a very high drop. The goal of the game? Stand on the plank and walk back and forth! You can make the experience even more realistic by placing a real plank on the ground and, for example, turning on a fan when someone steps out of the lift.
