Meta just started their April sale which runs now through April 28th at 11:59PM
Lots of really great games and deals this time around, especially if you just got into the Quest with the recent sales!
FYI: Friend APP Referral Codes (25% discount on games) can't be combined with the existing discounts.. so if a game has less than a 25% discount, you're better off waiting for the sale to end and using that. Fortunately there are a lot of really good discounts this time around.
If you recently bought a game and have put less than 2 hours / 14 days into it, you can refund it (instant refund) and re-purchase it for the lower price. To do this, open the Quest app, go to Settings -> Purchase History -> Refund Purchase
If you buy a game from the sale and just don't like it.. same thing, easy refunds so no real loss if you're on the fence of a game. I've had really good results with games but have had a few that just had terrible controls.
Recommendations:
Pistol Whip - At $20, this game is a ton of fun and has had some amazing (free) updates, highly recommended!
Les Mills Body Combat - $20, great fitness/workout game that is entertaining and fun (and a good workout!). Most of the other good fitness apps require a subscription.. this one doesn't.
Rez Infinite - $11.99 - Classic dreamcast game with an awesome new level. It's worth it for the new level alone!
SynthRiderz - $14.99 - Great music game that is right up there with Beat Saber. Lets you add custom songs even!

Golf+'s graphics is like being stuck in a early 2000s era.
Walkabout Mini is not bad.
Eleven Table Tennis probably the best sports game of all time because it's more realistic in VR and the skills you get from within the game will 100% applied in real life table tennis, which is the only game that will carried over to real life scenarios.
My favorite game currently is Les Mills Body Combat and Thrill of the Fight. Now these types of games are great for VR because it gets your fat ass moving. PCVR is mostly for morons, don't do it. VR is about getting up and move around and lose weight. If you're gonna be sitting down, then VR is not for you and obesity is in your future.
Lastly, get SideQuest so you can adjust CPU, GPU, Refresh Rate and that juicy Resolution.
Confused.. "PCVR is mostly for morons, don't do it. VR is about getting up and move around and lose weight. If you're gonna be sitting down, then VR is not for you and obesity is in your future."
That's not even the object of PCVR. I have 3 times as many VR games that are PCVR than I do Quest games, none of them are sit down to play games.
The main point is having a more powerful machine running the games and sending the visuals to a Quest. I've had a Rift CV1 since 2018 and just got a Quest 2. The wireless gaming over Virtual Desktop works flawlessly.
Superhot VR is insanely great however, way better than even the console game. Straight up Neo-ing the whole thing is incredible and unlike any other game I have ever played.
I just recently got a quest 3 and decided to subscribe to meta + since the first year nets you a $25 credit.. can't really beat it since it makes it $35 essentially.
Anyway Walkabout is part of + and it's super enjoyable. To the point I had a buddy over who had never played vr either. I told him to give it a try and he played the first course. The next morning he messaged me telling me he was still thinking about mini golf and trying to figure out how to convince his wife he they need one

Lol. Tell me you don't know much about pcvr without telling me you don't know much about pcvr
1) Is it fun solo? Most of the comments are about how great the multiplayer is - is it fun by yourself?
2) Does it need much space? Maybe the name 'walkabout' is throwing me off, but is it something that can be played in a small (3x3 foot, for example) area, or does it need move to roam around?
I hear lots of great things but always end up going for others when I see it on sale, due to the above questions!
Yes, it's fun solo. Better with others, but still fun solo. If you don't want to play alone but don't have friends with VR, you can play online and have it randomly pair you with another player. Also, there are tons of Facebook/Discord groups and tournaments for people who want to play Walkabout with others. There are a lot of great people looking to meet and play others in the online community (I've even heard of a couple of marriages coming from it).
As far as space, you can play standing in one spot. The trigger button will automatically take you to the right spot to hit your ball. Just make sure you have enough room to swing (but it's mini golf, so you don't have to do a huge swing like you're in the PGA)

PCVR isn't going anywhere. It's not where the investment will be heavily focused. Q3 and AVP shows off the MR side and this is the future. Graphics capabilities (refresh rate and resolution) sucks and still not there yet. It's been 8 years and this industry still isn't going up fast enough. I'd bet by 2030, we will have the most capable headset that I can take skiing or snowboarding. That's the future of these headsets. That's also the reason why I said PCVR is really dumb.
