I kinda gave up on social-focused games, myself. If you join a public lobby, it's always a disaster. You're always going to have some 10-year-old who just learned that shouting the n-word at people gets a reaction, you'll frequently get some creepy older guy who is flirting with teenage girls (who may or may not be of legal age), you'll often run into people who are clearly extremely drunk or high, and you'll regularly run into someone listening to loud music and forcing everyone else to listen to it too. By far the largest issue I have though is the sheer number of children, even if they're well behaved. Every time I've gone into a mini-game in Rec Room, it's been flooded with kids who are clearly under the age of 13. As a guy in his mid-40s, this just makes me feel super uncomfortable, as if I were to just go hang out at the local elementary school playground during lunch or something.
As a VR dev I struggle not to lose inspiration seeing these games and a lack of mature immersive experiences that peaked with HL:A and now slowly fading into oblivion.
All I play nowadays is Golf+ and Walkabout Minigolf the hours I've sunk into these 2 games alone is crazy, I never have time to play anything else haha I don't even play golf irl so idk why I love them so much but I keep coming back to these games over everything else
Happy birthday! I like how you went into a conversation at the end on why they're popular. It adds a lot of value to a list video. Now I wish this was the norm
I'm probably in a very similar situation as your average viewer. Slightly older, never played any of those games for more than 15 minutes (except for Beat Saber and Blade & Sorcery, the two that cost money). I think you pretty much nailed it. One thing that I might want to add: young people have an incredibly huge amount of free time, especially in comparison to us old folks. So not only are they looking for social sandboxing games that they can spend all day every day in, they also have a lot more time to try out those games, play them a lot and write reviews. This kind of audience is just very big in numbers and free time, so it's not surprising at all that they dominate the app market.
Maybe I missed you mentioning it, but I think another really important theme to mention is that most of these are multiplayer. I personally really hesitate to buy singleplayer games unless they are exactly what I'm looking for. I want to be able to share my experience with others even if I play solo sometimes. Playing with others tends to add a whole new layer of enjoyment to games, especially in VR with a higher sense of presence compared to flatscreen games.
I agree. Multiplayer game also tend to have more “content” whether that’s user generated, the game itself, or just by having replayability. A lot of the single player VR games I’ve seen that are not sport type games, so far have maybe 3-10 hours of original gameplay. I’m on the Quest, and the games aren’t cheap, so having that short a playtime for the price is a turn off.
I tried Gorilla Tag when it first came out in 2021 and didn't initially get its appeal. However, after a few days, I realized there's a lot of depth and technique behind the simple interface. Learning the maps and mastering skills like wall climbing and wall running transformed the experience. If you loved playing tag as a kid, this takes it to an extreme level! It's also physically demanding, and I often come out of a session drenched in sweat. Unfortunately, it's now overrun by kids, which can ruin the social experience, but I still play-with the sound muted. :)
I enjoy the list. I get on everyday looking up things about VR. It's easier to watch a video informing about VR than get online looking through multiple articles about it. Any video you have about VR is a success to me.
Even for someone in their 40s RecRoom is great there are definitely older people in there, just a little harder to find. You just have to find your crew. The art gallery, clubs mentioning adults, and churches are all good places to find the older group in RecRoom. The ability to create content in game is amazing. Some of the rooms are extremely detailed.
I got a psvr day one. I loved it but after a few months it sat for years and years. I got a quest 2 just 4 months ago and I have not put it down. I have not turned on my x box since and I don’t think I wanna play anything else but my quest.
Brother- I love list of top VR games. Keep em coming, please! They never get old and it's always good to have updated lists. Even if they do include horror VR that I am too scared to play 😅
Not sure how popular it is but games like Walkabout Mini Golf have a great following, community, and tons of content to enjoy. I feel like their games need some kind of lobby system where you can meet up with people (friends or randoms) and just chat, jump in and play games. Like a hub world.
Honestly I’m shocked that Bonelab wasn’t on this list, it’s literally Gmod in Vr. Sure it might not get a bunch of updates but when it does, it’s amazing.
@@TornadoeJoe understandable, most the fun comes from the playerbase’s collective imagination, people have made great full length campaigns, imported other SLZ games, and some have even made full length films using Bonelab. Gmod was the same way at first, it just takes time.
I’m 35 and my brother is 37, we live 1800 miles away from each other and use vr as a way to hang out a few times a week. We play dungeons of eternity, walkabout mini golf and pop one together a lot. I play Asgards Wrath 2 or Skyrim vr when I play solo. Tonight though we are planning on playing drinking games in vrchat and having a night out in vr ✌️I like the fact that social games are so popular. I’m also married and have 2 kids under 3 so social vr games allow me to get out and socialise after I’ve put my kids to bed and I can still be home to parent if needed 👌
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the list and for the reassurance that I'm not the only codger in the room that doesn't get why some of those are so popular. 😆
First, happy birthday! Good video, shows how out of the mainstream I am. Except for Beat Saber & Blade and Sorcery not one of these games really interest me. This would definitely not be any sort of top list of apps for me. Otherwise I will say though that it is interesting. So, thanks for sharing it. Lastly like you, 3 - 4 really good games would keep me busy for the year.
I played rec room until population one came out then I went to population one for two years. Then Zenith came out and I’ve been on Zenith since then although I have been playing Medieval Dynasty a lot lately, but I’m still playing Zenith. One of the things that’s interesting about Zenith . Is that a lot of the players I’m playing with on my age or above and I’m 62 years old. A lot of us do not want to babysit and unfortunately, most of the games on this list make you become babysitters.
That’s my fear with multiplayer games these days. I’m of a similar age. Playing solo games does not hold a lot of appeal to me anymore, at least for long term play, yet playing multiplayer with obnoxious children is a real turn off.
I got the Kiwi strap full kit, with the stand and SPC and everything, but there is one thing that I did not like at all. When the headset gets fully charged, the green light stays on forever. The Bobo VR has a button to "wake" and start charging which I like much more because now I have to constantly remove the cable so the green light stops.
You are correct about me. I don’t play any of the free games. The free games model has never worked for me. Just picked up 7th Guest. Will be playing that for a while.
I'm a flat gamer since the OG Nintendo, but I have the PSVR and just got a Quest 3. I am only in it for the fun single player experiences so none of these games really appeal to me except Blade and Sorcery. Like you, I understand the draw for some of them, but that will never be where I spend my gaming time. I am happy with the 2 or 3 awesome big games a year.
Im 44.. I can agree, most of these games are not the kind that draw me in. I actually find myself playing Ghost of Tabor 80% of the time.. the rest would be totally baseball, contractors (the original one) or NFL Pro era 2 with a friend. Other than that, I head over to PCVR and play racing stuff on my DOF reality h6.
It drives me nuts when I meet another VR person in real life and they have never even tried games outside of beat saber. Not even free games or trials.
I'm pretty sure it's an age thing. I'm 36, and I simply do not enjoy gorilla tag, penguin paradise and roblox. What surprised me is Horizon Worlds... with 40 sneaking up on me, I expected Horizon Worlds to be this child-overrun miserable experience... I was wrong. It's so much fun.
Free is popular, no doubt about it. I'm patiently waiting for deeper and more detailed VR games. I honestly feel there is a lack of creative writing leading to empty games. I agree that 2-3 really good games per year would be great. Problem is my 2-3 might not be your 2-3, or anybody else's. Im willing to pay for quality, if these games are keeping the wheel turning, great. I am concerned about the image consumers have of VR based on the popularity of stuff like that but as a consumer myself, thats not really my lane. 🤷 We really need a "cream of the App Lab crop" video. 🤔 Just a thought...
Definitely more than a few VR games are popular along a generational divide. Gorilla Tag is objectively Patient Zero in this. My nephews love the game, I can’t stand it for all the same reasons you mentioned. Just as the Silent Generation and the Boomers looked at Gen-Xers and older Millennials with more than a bit of side eye over our adaptation of video game systems like Commodore and Atari; there’s a bit of that from us at Gen-Z and Gen Alpha for probably what in all honesty is more or less the same thing.
Sounds good, maybe I'll reach out once I buy it (btw, I just got myself prescription lenses - yes, even before I get the headset- so, no way back now :))
PCVR appeals more to the older player base. Quest appeals to a more varied base, but also skews a little younger and more casual. So when we look at what's popular in the Quest world, we're only seeing part of the whole. That part is growing faster than the rest right now, but let's not forget PCVR. If we're gonna forget anything, it should be PSVR. As much as it breaks my heart to say it.
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 WOW, didn't realize it was that much smaller. I'm still new to all this, so probably haven't had the time with the older stuff for it to start to wear. I haven't even finished Alyx yet, because there's so much content that I'm loving, both on Quest and PCVR.
I definitely feel too old for VR Chat public lobbies, let alone Rec Room, Roblox or Gorilla Tag. I do love just soloing through some of the worlds created in VR Chat, although usually in PCVR than Quest. Don't think Horizon Worlds is available here. Population One is OK. Good fun for sure. Although I prefer larger maps, slower pace and more strategic play to my Battle Royale games. The building mechanic does nothing for me either.
@@matKilla9801 I second this suggestion, the map is huge and there is a solo mode out right now for it and you have to think quite a bit more to survive in showdown. In Pop1 you just need to spam builds and peek to shoot, they have kneecapped their flying mechanic by letting weapon damage and time to kill get out of control. In Showdown at least you can survive while parachuting for the most part and the time to kill with guns is not as ridiculous as Pop1
Looking back, it would be great to get some more LoneEcho, HL Alyx stuff...in the i think my nr.1 experience has been Skyrim (with all the mods) And i fear games for standalone will be going the Android games style fast, meaning, a whole lot of crap! with a few, kinda fun ones. But i guess it's just not time for the big titles to go standalone, the ones that have tried, MetalOfHonor, AssassinsCreed for instance, just haven't seen the returns they probably wanted and also shown that VR is a different build entirely vs pancake.
Not all games are better in VR, flat screen games provide that sink into the couch and mello experience. VR is for when I have energy. At 42 my energy isn't always flowing.
I only play one game for month now: "In Death Unchained". It is great to get better over time. I would love to play "Dungeons of Eternity" too. But it is way too buggy to enjoy it.
I'm relatively new to vr but have purchased a fare amount of games since they are usually cheaper and go on sale often. I have yet to try a free game and tend to gravitate to beatsaber as its fast to get into, fast to get out of, and a lot of fun in-between (until the pro controllers lose tracking, meta pls fix that). But my quest 3 can't replace a 4k qdoled for flat gaming or hq video so I don't use it as much.
Iv'e owned a quest 3 pretty much when it was released, sadly I find the titles available lacking on so many levels. I was hoping to find on revisiting after months of it collecting dust on the shelf a higher number of matured well cultivated titles but to be honest I was highly disappointed when visiting the store. It's back on the shelf.
I'm one of those "people"! lmao. Maybe not so much watching movies in VR cause headsets are to big still for level of comfort when watching movies. Maybe if I ever broke down and bought the beyond lmao or if someone else made a headset the size or smaller as beyond without all the jank, my views might change here but as far as gaming, ya EVERYTHING'S better in VR. Even flat screen stuff lol That's why I'm such a fan of the UEVR mod cause even if all I'm doing is creating a VR, third person experience where I'm still using game controller and mouse, it's still better and more immersive in VR than out. lmao I know, I'm a freak! lol
I havent played Gorilla Tag but from hearing about it all the time i understand its fortnite of VR aka ADHD kids infested hell. It runs on Quest 2 and kids are the biggest gaming market.
Mateo, what are the best EXCLUSIVE Meta games I should grab during the sale? And not gorrlla tag, the blockbusters! (only the ones not on Steam and maybe do older and newer seperately) 👍
Depends on what you are into, i've got VR games across the spectrum from Steam PCVR games to standalone Meta games but you just need a genre you like. Right now VR FPS games are my jam.
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 The new pop1 update is just chasing what Showdown already is, but with a smaller lobby, worse graphics and still the same pop1 mechanics that is not as engaging as Showdown.
The majority of games on this list are played by the younger crowd, they can have these as long as they stay away from the "real" top ten 😂....e.g walkabout
All these "social" games are toxic kids and teens. Only one that has much fewer of those types is the Pokerstars Vegas Infinite which luckily has a mute function too. I think my main issue as an adult is most of the games are cartoon looking or original release Skyrim type graphics with the sharp angles and edges. So far the only one I play regularly that I love is No Mans Sky via link to PC. I can fly around in that with all 3D freedom of movement without a problem. Some of them like Asgards Wrath 2 have messy movement where you move too quickly so when you come to a stop it throws off your equilibrium. Their fix is the teleport movement which is just messy and buggy.
VR gaming has moved towards 'mobile phone like gaming' and basically killed any prospect of proper mainsteam AA(A) VR games development. I know this would happen the moment Zuck bought Oculus as he has some vandetta against windows and PC in general. I guess he wants to create it's own Apple like closed garden absent of competition in it. A great potential wasted, such a shame :(
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 Well, some AAA devs do support VR like Asobo with it's MSFS 2024 sim coming out this year, but I do agree, no exclusive PCVR game on horizon. I believe FB's main mistake was to abandon PCVR "Rift" crowd as most of us consisted of older gen PC gamers with money to burn on new exciting PCVR titles which sadly never came. Alyx kind of games had a potential to take VR on another level, but sadly AA(A) publishers didn't want to take a gamble with VR and still don't when there is easy low risk money to be made with pancake games
Free + Kids + cartoons = disappointment 😞 I am just glad VR is becoming popularized in any way possible, even if it's something I personally think is trash.
Nope not one of these interest me. Now when i play with friends beat saber is still a lot of fun but solo I’ve never had a desire to play. I wish i had more time ton play my backlog is crazy huge on psvr2 and i have a few on quest 3 as well ughh!!
Big pass on the pre teen toxic worlds of VrChat, Gorilla Tag, Rec Room, Roblox. It’s all junk….Among Us is so fun…with the right group…but your more likely to be playing with racist 10 years olds than adults
only cool people like, comment and subscribe!
Have you ever played OrbusVR and Zenith? What you think about those VR MMORPG?
Nice video😎
Oh 😞 what if you're not cool?
@@BrodysBettas you're cool now
@Gamingwithmatteo311 ok you got me I subbed 😆
I kinda gave up on social-focused games, myself. If you join a public lobby, it's always a disaster. You're always going to have some 10-year-old who just learned that shouting the n-word at people gets a reaction, you'll frequently get some creepy older guy who is flirting with teenage girls (who may or may not be of legal age), you'll often run into people who are clearly extremely drunk or high, and you'll regularly run into someone listening to loud music and forcing everyone else to listen to it too. By far the largest issue I have though is the sheer number of children, even if they're well behaved.

😆 🤣
I’m 45. I buy VR games because it makes me happy. I don’t play them very often, though. I grew up with games, so.
Same, I'm 37 amd. I don't have time to, but the console is boring.
I'm 65 and I buy more than I play and yes, every purchase makes me happy. I hope one day I'll get to them.
Yes, I own a lot more than I have actually played. I'll get to them eventually....
As a VR dev I struggle not to lose inspiration seeing these games and a lack of mature immersive experiences that peaked with HL:A and now slowly fading into oblivion.
Happy birthday Matteo🎉. Yeah you are right about this list and also about those 3-4 games/year + casual but interesting experiences.
Like the list plus extra in depth analysis of the industry. Keep up the great work and video formats.

But my quest 3 can't replace a 4k qdoled for flat gaming or hq video so I don't use it as much.
Damn was hoping Vegas Infinite would have made it in there being it's free.
Maybe the price point of the Quest 2 entry, that leads to parents buying for the younger audience. When the kids grow up they'll want better content.
I love Pop1, …. Star Wars mods to Contractors, Pistol Whip, mods, mods, mods!!!!!
Iv'e owned a quest 3 pretty much when it was released, sadly I find the titles available lacking on so many levels. I was hoping to find on revisiting after months of it collecting dust on the shelf a higher number of matured well cultivated titles but to be honest I was highly disappointed when visiting the store. It's back on the shelf.
What games have you played on it?
I'm one of those "people"! lmao. Maybe not so much watching movies in VR cause headsets are to big still for level of comfort when watching movies. Maybe if I ever broke down and bought the beyond lmao or if someone else made a headset the size or smaller as beyond without all the jank, my views might change here but as far as gaming, ya EVERYTHING'S better in VR. Even flat screen stuff lol That's why I'm such a fan of the UEVR mod cause even if all I'm doing is creating a VR, third person experience where I'm still using game controller and mouse, it's still better and more immersive in VR than out. lmao I know, I'm a freak! lol
I havent played Gorilla Tag but from hearing about it all the time i understand its fortnite of VR aka ADHD kids infested hell. It runs on Quest 2 and kids are the biggest gaming market.
Mateo, what are the best EXCLUSIVE Meta games I should grab during the sale? And not gorrlla tag, the blockbusters! (only the ones not on Steam and maybe do older and newer seperately) 👍
were all looking at the sale this weekend! maybe seperate category for zombie games? hahah
Depends on what you are into, i've got VR games across the spectrum from Steam PCVR games to standalone Meta games but you just need a genre you like. Right now VR FPS games are my jam.
Quest exclusives
Resident evil 4
Asgard 2
Assassin's creed
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 Awesome! Thank you! Sadly, I learned the MAY30 sale is only for some (meh) selections and not the entire Meta catalog 🤨
Free and kiddy games, why, because they are easy to develop and gets the new generation in!
Yup. spot on list. But I also don't agree with the list.
Contractors Showdown > Population 1
You might feel that way but we are talking playerbase. They new pop1 updates coming soon are also looking awesome
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 The new pop1 update is just chasing what Showdown already is, but with a smaller lobby, worse graphics and still the same pop1 mechanics that is not as engaging as Showdown.
I am a Cat review right meow, please
I like none of games in this list. I love Walk About Mini Golf, The Climb, The Room, Real Fishing VR, Fisherman Tales. I am a middleage man.
The majority of games on this list are played by the younger crowd, they can have these as long as they stay away from the "real" top ten 😂....e.g walkabout
All these "social" games are toxic kids and teens. Only one that has much fewer of those types is the Pokerstars Vegas Infinite which luckily has a mute function too.
I think my main issue as an adult is most of the games are cartoon looking or original release Skyrim type graphics with the sharp angles and edges. So far the only one I play regularly that I love is No Mans Sky via link to PC. I can fly around in that with all 3D freedom of movement without a problem.
Some of them like Asgards Wrath 2 have messy movement where you move too quickly so when you come to a stop it throws off your equilibrium. Their fix is the teleport movement which is just messy and buggy.
Making me feel old
I feel targeted too
What a depressing list for vr. "Free" game with micro-transactions.
It's a true list unfortunately
VR gaming has moved towards 'mobile phone like gaming' and basically killed any prospect of proper mainsteam AA(A) VR games development. I know this would happen the moment Zuck bought Oculus as he has some vandetta against windows and PC in general. I guess he wants to create it's own Apple like closed garden absent of competition in it. A great potential wasted, such a shame :(
Unfortunately aaa VR was never in the cards. Pcvr just doesn't make nearly enough money
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 Well, some AAA devs do support VR like Asobo with it's MSFS 2024 sim coming out this year, but I do agree, no exclusive PCVR game on horizon. I believe FB's main mistake was to abandon PCVR "Rift" crowd as most of us consisted of older gen PC gamers with money to burn on new exciting PCVR titles which sadly never came. Alyx kind of games had a potential to take VR on another level, but sadly AA(A) publishers didn't want to take a gamble with VR and still don't when there is easy low risk money to be made with pancake games
Free + Kids + cartoons = disappointment 😞 I am just glad VR is becoming popularized in any way possible, even if it's something I personally think is trash.
Nope not one of these interest me. Now when i play with friends beat saber is still a lot of fun but solo I’ve never had a desire to play. I wish i had more time ton play my backlog is crazy huge on psvr2 and i have a few on quest 3 as well ughh!!
Like comment sub my dude works hard at this and has been playing vr since vr so he deserves it
Big pass on the pre teen toxic worlds of VrChat, Gorilla Tag, Rec Room, Roblox. It’s all junk….Among Us is so fun…with the right group…but your more likely to be playing with racist 10 years olds than adults

Cool people like and subscribe.
Braindead games for children like most MMOs
These games all suck and the reason they are the "top" games is because its where all the children go

Pop one is free to play after I bought it? What a fucking rip off.
what a sad, sad list.
It's what most people start out with VR, people branch out from these games pretty quickly.
