Introduction

Picking the best VR games at the moment is tough. Sure, there are loads of titles to choose from on both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. But, games like Job Simulator and The Climb – titles specifically authored for virtual reality – are substantially more enticing than some of our favorite existing titles that don’t translate quite as seamlessly to VR.

• The arcade is back, and more immersive than ever thanks to VR

While you may want to reprise the role of Lara Croft in Rise of the Tomb Raider on PlayStation VR, remember that only a slice of the game will be supported in full-fledged 360-degree goodness. Other VR experiences are hardly games at all. London’s Natural History Museum, for instance, plans to take you on a VR tour using Google Cardboard while even beer-drinking is subject to improve with the tech.

Nevertheless, what we’re focused on here are games; more specifically, the best games on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and mobile VR platforms that you can enjoy right now. Inclined to disagree? Let us know your favorite VR games in the comments section below.
