VR Game Reviews

Overview

Virtual Reality is a relatively new way to experience gaming. Unlike your traditional video games, where the player spends all of their time sitting around, VR games encourage you to get up and move - literally putting you into the game's world!

Although this technology is still very much in its infancy, a number of great games and interactive experiences are already available through online stores like Steam.

Fun-O-Meter:

Earn a high score and get a good workout by blocking the beats in this fast-paced virtual reality rhythm game!

Brief thoughts: This game would be completely inoffensive if it wasn't for the music that comes with it - some songs contain profanity or graphic album artwork.

Beat Saber

ESRB Rating:	E - Everyone
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Rhythm / Dance
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

This game tests your rhythm as you dance and slice blocks in what is perhaps the most famous VR game out there!

Brief thoughts: Any potential issues with this game lie with the lyrics to the music the player is using. However, all of the music that comes with the game or can be added via DLC has been censored.

Cave Digger

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Ages 10 and up
Genre:	Arcade / Other
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

In this virtual reality game, you'll take up your pick and mine precious minerals and other treasures from cavern walls. Backed by the best of frontier science, there's no limit to the amount of wealth you can acquire from beneath the Earth!

Brief thoughts: This is a generally clean game with a lot of imagination behind it, but there is one small issue that stands out - players can "eat" questionable mushrooms found deep in the mine with silly results.

Garden of the Sea

ESRB Rating:	E - Everyone
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Crafting / Puzzle
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Garden of the Sea is a cozy and quiet VR game about exploring islands, growing crops, and just generally chilling in a colorful world.

Brief thoughts: While there are some supernatural elements, these are extremely tame and aren't likely to be much of an issue.

Ragnarock

ESRB Rating:	M - Mature Audiences
My Rating:	Ages 13 and up
Genre:	Rhythm / Virtual Reality
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Take on the role of the drummer aboard a Viking longship and inspire your crew to victory!

Brief thoughts: While the game itself doesn't show anything violent, some of the included songs do contain profanity and references to heavy drinking.

Walkabout Minigolf

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Sports / Casual
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Walkabout Minigolf is a casual virtual reality game about well, playing minigolf. With plenty of courses and a few collectables to find, it's a fun and relaxing game for the entire family.

Brief thoughts: There is some spooky stuff, such as pirate skeletons or the creatures from Labyrinth, but everything is intended as lighthearted fun.
