Dragon Fist VR Kung Fu Adds Multiplayer - Dragon Fist VR Multiplayer

There are a lot of VR Fighting Games out for the Oculus Quest and PCVR by now, but not a lot of VR Fighting Games with Multiplayer.

There are very few games to turn to if you want to know whether you can beat up your friends, or strangers, without having to challenge them to a fight in the real world, which is generally a bad idea.

Well luckily the fantastic VR Kung Fu Fighting game Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu has added a Multiplayer mode in its latest update, and now it might very well be the best VR Multiplayer Fighting Game out there.

I mean what kind of competition does it have at this point? Creed: Rise To Glory? Creed is alright, but it leaves a lot to be desired even in the realm of VR boxing.

You can be a boxer, or at least the old timey turn of the 20th century kind of boxer, in Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu, and even better you can be a ninja, a kung fu master, one of several Shaolin monks, or a lot of other things. Too many to list here.

An absolutely chaotic fight in Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu’s Multiplayer

Each of the many characters has different strengths and weaknesses, and different special abilities. Like one English gentleman who just has a straight up gun, and if bringing a gun to a fistfight isn’t a special ability then I don’t know what is.

Outside of the vast roster of characters and arenas to choose from, there are several Multiplayer game modes as well.

You can have a classic one on one fight just like in the Singleplayer, where each fighter has three lives before they lose, and a free for all mode where every fighter gets a single life. There’s Coop too in this Multiplayer Virtual Reality Fighting game, so you can comp stomp with your friends or strangers as much as you like.

What’s really a ton of fun in Dragon Fist: Vr Kung Fu’s Multiplayer mode though, is Arcade mode. It’s chaotic, fast, fun, and is as entertaining to watch as it is to play.

Pulling a gun is just one of many tricks other players may pull on you in this Multiplayer VR Fighting Game

In Arcade mode, every fighter has just a tiny amount of health and gets thrown into the arena with one or two other players. One knocks another out, and another player spawns in.

Whichever player gets 5 knockouts first wins, and getting to those five knockouts is a real thrill ride. You’re always low on health and fragile, so even if you’ve played the game long enough to have some semblance of form or skill you’ll still easily devolve into panicked arm flailing. Keeping your cool in a VR fight has never been harder.

Getting multiple knockouts in a row feels absolutely amazing if you can swing it, and getting knocked out is just an opportunity to see what sorts of techniques and styles your opponents are using. You’ll generally be back in and fighting pretty soon too.

Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu’s Multiplayer is fast, chaotic, fun, and sure to get you a little sweaty, just like any good VR Fighting game, or in this case any good VR Multiplayer Fighting game.

Even just watching other players fight in this VR Multiplayer Fighting Game is fun, and kind of wacky

So if you want an intense and skill based Multiplayer VR Fighting game then check out Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu. The Multiplayer update has made the game much more competitive and interesting, even after you’ve beaten the Singleplayer opponents.

So if you’re waiting for Thrill Of The Fight 2 and want another Virtual Reality Multiplayer Fighting Game to keep you busy in the meantime then this VR game will definitely deliver.

I’ve found a match almost instantly every time and never failed to get my heart rate up. Enjoy!

An Interesting Superhero VR Game - Project Demigod Review

Virtual Reality games offer a wide variety of experiences and fantasies for you to take part in with the full freedom of a first person VR view of the world and touch controls to simulate your hand and arm movements.

There is no greater fantasy than that of being a super hero, and so it’s been a very long wait for a fully fledged super hero VR game that can really give you the experience of being a superhero in VR.

Well, a super hero VR experience has finally come to the Oculus Quest 2, Oculus Quest 3, and PCVR in the form of the super hero VR game Project Demigod.

Project Demigod certainly does what it says, it gives you a sandbox and a bunch of superhero abilities and powers to mess around with against a variety of enemies in a variety of levels. Still, even in a short time playing this game, it’s pretty obvious that Project Demigod could still use some work to be all that it can be as a super hero VR game.

So let’s dive into Project Demigod VR and see what superhero VR fun is in store in this game, and also where it falls short and could still use some work.

Oh, and for a different super hero Virtual Reality game that focuses more on a Spiderman sort of experience, give BattleGlide a look.

Lots Of Super Powers To Choose From In This Super Hero VR Game

The number one thing that separates Project Demigod from any other superhero VR game, and other VR games in general, is the sheer amount of super hero powers that you can choose from.

The superpower wheel in Project Demigod. There are a lot to choose from

There are some classics like the ability to sling webs like Spiderman, and some you might not expect like the elastic arms power, which is both hilarious and powerful. Flinging your arm out to hit a faraway enemy is a unique experience.

A lot of the superpowers also have multiple different options that you can cycle through by pressing the B button, so an ability that seems straightforward at first can be a lot more interesting than it seems.

Like the fire ability, which can be a flamethrower dealing damage to enemies you point your hand at, a thruster that you can use to fly around, a fireball that you throw, a fire dragon you can whip enemies with, or an explosion spawner that not only blows up enemies in front of you but also flings you around.

Blowing up a robot enemy with the fire super power

Most of the fun of Project Demigod VR comes from playing around with these abilities and discovering interesting combinations that you can use for fighting or exploring.

You can even equip a different ability on both hands to create even wilder combinations. Like when exploring one of the massive city maps you can use the flame thruster in one hand to fly around, and the web ability in the other to attach yourself to buildings and fling yourself around.

If you want to fly like Superman there’s also a super power for that. You can turn your hand to stone to punch enemies, or go full water bender and throw globes of water at your opponents with the water ability.

Mixing and matching abilities is a ton of fun, and lets you be any sort of super hero that you want to be in this Virtual Reality super hero game.

You can even pull enemies off balance with the web. That’s pretty fun

Maps And Enemies Galore

Project Demigod is a sandbox sort of VR game. You generally make your own fun with the tools the game gives you to be whatever sort of super hero you want to be. Though there are also some challenges the game gives you that you don’t have to create yourself. More on that in a moment.

This is a pretty common type of game in the current VR landscape, though as I’ve already mentioned Project Demigod differentiates itself by being focused on creating a superhero VR experience rather than just the usual assortment of guns and blades that most VR sandbox games focus on. Though there are also a few weapons that you can spawn with one of the superpowers.

It’s not exactly challenging either, even when fighting massive enemies like the giant robot.

The giant robot in Project Demigod is imposing, but manageable

This game does give you a ton of maps to explore and fight enemies inside though, and a way to spawn whatever sort of enemies that you want.

From massive cities to space stations, there are a ton of environments to choose from, and the space station in particular is actually procedurally generated with enemies and turrets for you to fight. It’s clear that the developer plans to lean more into that in the future and create linear challenges for you to fight your way through.

There is also a huge variety of enemy types that you can spawn and fight with the spawner. They’re deliciously absurd like giant raptors, robots, or even ninjas.

Flinging ninjas around with the lightning grab superpower. It’s pretty funny

Fighting creative enemies like these is a big part of the super hero VR experience and a great way to make you get a little more creative with the superhero powers that you use.

A lot of the fun of the game comes from how hilarious these enemies are to fight, especially when you knock them down over and over again by pulling them over with the web power, or grabbing and flinging them with the lightning grab power.

Some of the maps also have challenges spread around the map that you activate just by walking into them. Like time trials to use your powers to travel across the map as quickly as possible, preset enemy encounters, and destruction challenges where you must destroy targets as quickly as possible.

Using flame thrusters to complete a parkour challenge

There’s plenty to amuse yourself with in Project Demigod. That’s what the game is, an amusing power fantasy where you get to be creative with a huge host of superhero powers.

That, and a general lack of polish, is also where this superhero VR game’s problems lie.

The Problems Of Project Demigod

Right now, at the time of writing, Project Demigod is very early into its Meta Quest store and Steam store life.

It hasn’t been around for a while and hasn’t had a lot of time to be all that it can be. Not to mention that only a single person, Cory Robertson, is developing this game.

As with so many Virtual Reality games developed by a single person, Project Demigod is currently severely lacking in polish. While the game generally makes up for this with its uniqueness and creativity, it’s very obvious when playing it that it still needs a lot of work.

Blasting an enemy

The enemies are very janky and seem to float across the ground. Their animations are pretty basic, and their intelligence doesn’t go far beyond running towards you and attacking.

A lot of the interactions between NPCs and your abilities are also buggy, and there are a lot of bugs in general in Project Demigod.

The music sometimes cuts out when you open the Meta menu during the game, and sometimes tracks will play over each other.

A lot of textures are low resolution and overall the game has that early access feeling. Though this is definitely a part of the game’s charm, and a lot of what makes it great is the hilarious interactions between them and your super powers.

Earth superpowers are also very cool

Luckily these are all problems that can be solved with time and effort by the developer. I’m sure that given enough of both of these things Project Demigod will be the all in one superhero VR experience that we all crave.

The game has already improved dramatically in the short time since its release with massive amounts of bug fixes, improvements, and new features added like the aforementioned procedurally generated space station level.

So if you want a more polished super hero experience in your Virtual Reality game, give Project Demigod a little more time. Though at the time of writing this article, more time is definitely what this game needs. Regardless, the bugs that I ran into weren’t game breaking, and if you can ignore them Project Demigod is a whole new level of VR sandbox fun.

Oh, and for a different super hero Virtual Reality game that focuses more on a Spiderman sort of experience, give BattleGlide a look.

New Onward VR Game Mode Promises Fantastic new PvE Content - Mercenary Mode

It's been so long since Onward had a truly meaningful update or addition of any notable amount of content. The Fire Fight game mode was cool, but it didn’t feel very different. It’s also very hard to depend on revives from a Corpsman who is twelve years old.

So imagine my surprise when I heard about the new Mercenary mode in Onward. You might have seen my old article and video on the Singleplayer options available in Onward, and while good for practice and warming up, they didn't amount to much.

Really the game got kind of stale overall with no significant content added in such a long time, and newer shinier VR shooters came along that made me forget about it for a while. Though if you're wondering if Onward is dead just look at the server list. It's not, this game is still great.

The Onward server browser is still popping

So what's Mercenaries? Well, it's a PvE game mode that can be played alone or with others, and it's actually got an interesting twist on Onward's equipment and adds some progression to the Singleplayer.

You start with a few pistols, pea shooters really, and to get more weapons, attachments, grenades, and gear you'll have to complete missions.

These missions are randomly chosen from a few types and take place across Onward's collection of maps.

There are a few missions types spread across all of Onward’s maps

This gives me very very light Tarkov vibes. Getting a really good loadout feels earned, and being forced to use weapons you normally wouldn't touch adds a new level of freshness to the game. Shotguns are absolutely amazing by the way.

Though losing that hard won loadout as things get harder also stings in a good way. Onward's Mercenaries mode is pretty hard even on normal difficulty. Pulling out all of the anti AI tricks is a must because they will outnumber you and outgun you all the time.

Firing in one place and ambushing the enemies that come looking for the source of the gunshots is a classic. You're also incentivized to complete the level as quickly as possible to get more points... if you care about points that is.

You’ll always have night vision, so night maps are still very fun

Still, the need to complete the levels fast makes you take risks, and risks means more intense situations and gameplay. The AI are a little dumb and slow, but underestimate them once and it's back to the first mission. They’re also much smarter than they used to be and will group up, defend objectives, and generally not just run into your gun barrel anymore.

You can go from feeling like a badass operator taking down enemies in droves to feeling like a complete fool when you repeek the same corner twice and get gunned down.

Sure some of this might be nostalgia. It has been years since I exhausted the possibilities found in Onward's Singleplayer modes, as you can see by long ago I wrote the article about it, but I've been having a lot of fun with the Mercenary game mode.

A close quarters fight in Onward VR’s Mercenary Game Mode

Just adding a little progression and randomization goes a long way in reinjecting some life into an old favorite. This game is still one of the best VR tactical shooters around and still feels and sounds snappy and great to play.

Hopefully, this signifies a new era of new content for Onward after years of stagnation.

Awesome Pavlov VR Mods That You Should Try On the Oculus Quest 3 and PCVR

Just like so many other VR shooters on the Oculus Quest 3, Oculus Quest 2, and PCVR in general, Pavlov Shack really shines when you play the wide collection of mods found in the game’s multiplayer servers.

Here we’re looking at some of the greatest Pavlov VR mods that change a ton about the game. From new weapons, new ways to fight, and even basically complete overhauls of Pavlov Shack gameplay, these Pavlov mods are a ton of fun.

Pavlov mods are crazy and have been getting crazier over time with the work of all of the great modders out there. So let’s dive into some awesome Pavlov VR mods that you should try on the Oculus Quest 3, Oculus Quest 2, and PCVR.

Oh, and if you’re wondering how you can try these mods, just check out the server browser in Pavlov Shack (for Quest) or Pavlov VR (for PCVR). If a server is running one of these Pavlov mods then it will automatically download when you join.

PavZ - VR DayZ Pavlov Mod

Have you ever wanted to play DayZ VR? Well, now you can with the PavZ Pavlov VR mod.

While it’s not as big and doesn’t have the expansive survival mechanics of DayZ proper, PavZ certainly has a lot of the same tense fighting and fun of DayZ.

A tense firefight in the deserts of PavZ, a fantastic Pavlov VR mod

When you first start PavZ you’ll spawn in as a practically naked man with a double barrelled shotgun and big ambitions. No loadout, no health items, and no spare ammunition. With these humble beginnings, you’ll have to use your wits, skills, and perseverance to stay alive and get sweet loot.

Just like in DayZ, your first objective is to scavenge around and get some loot. Though in PavZ you won’t be concerned with health or thirst. Pavlov mods haven’t gone as far as DayZ has yet, but you will need some more equipment.

So as you wander around you’ll find boxes, and looting from those boxes will give you random items like healing pills, new weapons, new ammunition, or even a set of armor that changes your character’s model and makes you harder to take out.

Looting a crate and getting some medicine in PavZ

Of course, all of these things (except for the armor, unfortunately) can also just be taken from other players. You’ve still got two rounds for that shotgun of yours, and if you ambush an already well equipped player you can take all of their stuff off of their body, or loot a dead player shot down by someone else.

Of course, this means that getting nice equipment of your own makes you more powerful and a target yourself, and in this Pavlov mod, you’ll find yourself living for a lot less time than you might in a game of DayZ.

So PavZ quickly becomes a fun loop of spawning, looking for equipment, fighting, and eventually dying. It’s a ton of fun to have to work for your guns and items, and this mod also forces you to use a lot of guns that you normally wouldn’t just because it’s what you’ve got on hand. This also makes every death hit a lot harder because you’ll have to start from zero all over again.

An ambush in the making

There are also ATVs spread around the map that make travelling it a lot faster and more fun. The one downside of PavZ as a DayZ VR mod is that it’s very sparse on the actual zombies. Having to deal with zombies and other players in gunfights more often would be nice.

Still, if you ever wanted to play VR DayZ then give the PavZ Pavlov VR mod a try, it’s a ton of fun and one of the best Pavlov mods that practically anyone can enjoy.

Prison Life - Prison RP Pavlov VR Mod

RP mods and servers have a long history in casual shooters dating all of the way back to Counter Strike, which is arguably the game that Pavlov VR and Pavlov Shack are based on.

Of all of the Pavlov Shack mods out there none carries this legacy as strongly as RP mods, and one of the best Pavlov mods for RP players has got to be Prison Life.

A guard neutralizing a prisoner with a weapon

In Prison Life, the map is a huge prison complex and its immediate surroundings.

There are two factions that you can play as, the prisoners and the guards. Prisoners do whatever they can to escape the prison and avoid being shot by the guards, and the guards keep the prisoners inside of the prison and do their best to avoid shooting them unless it is absolutely necessary.

This sounds like a pretty simple setup, but it’s actually got a lot of depth to it that can end up in Among Us style questioning and finger pointing, or massive firefights and brawls between the prisoners and the guards.

Fighting during a prison break in this Pavlov VR mod

If you do manage to escape as a prisoner you become a fugitive, and then your objective is to help other prisoners get out and avoid being hunted down by guards outside of the prison.

There are a ton of things to do as well, like crafting shivs and other items, avoiding being searched and found with them, or simpler things like waiting in the chow line and playing cards. Prison Life brings just enough order to the classic formula of Garry’s Mod RP server that it’s not just constant chaos.

Of course as a guard, you also always have to be on your toes, and that’s the sort of scenario that brings out the magic of Virtual Reality. Being able to gesture, and having to actually turn your head to see makes tense situations even tenser, especially when you’re asking a prisoner to back away from you.

For anyone interested in Pavlov VR mods that bring that old RP server magic to Virtual Reality then check out Prison Life.

World War 2 Maps - Pavlov VR Mods

As I’ve pointed out here before on Reality Remake, there really isn’t (yet) a great World War 2 Multiplayer VR Shooter on the Quest platform, and that’s a real shame.

Fortunately Pavlov mods are here to save the day because the World War 2 Pavlov Shack and Pavlov VR maps are absolutely awesome if you are searching for a good Multiplayer WW2 VR Shooter on the Meta Quest or PCVR.

Fighting on the ramparts over Normandy. World War 2 Multiplayer VR shooters finally got good

There are a few maps you’ll find circulating through Pavlov modded servers that utilize the World War 2 mod. One of the most popular is DDAY, which utilizes the PUSH game mode. The World War 2 weapons and maps are actually official content released by the developers of Pavlov and Pavlov Shack, but I’ll call them mods just so I can include them on this list. They’re that awesome.

The attacking team comes off of the landing crafts and pushes up the beach so that they can plant bombs at points until they bomb all of the points and win, and the defending team does their best to make sure this doesn’t happen. It’s a World War 2 classic, Germans vs Americans on the beaches of France. It’s also great in Virtual Reality.

Before you spawn in you get the chance to pick from a variety of loadouts, all with benefits and drawbacks, and all using fantastically modelled and working World War 2 era weapons.

The classes you can select in this Pavlov Shack mod

If you love WW2 shooters or want a change of pace from the modern guns featured in most Pavlov VR mods and games, then you’ll absolutely love these maps.

Some are also absolutely massive, and feature a sort of base vs base style gameplay where those bases also spawn vehicles that you can drive around the map. There are even tanks, and anti tank roles to blow those tanks up with bazookas. This sort of Battlefield style gameplay doesn’t really exist elsewhere in Virtual Reality other than these Pavlov Shack mods.

For a trip back to the combat of the 1940s with multiplayer, there’s no substitute for the World War 2 Pavlov VR mods.

The Hide - Pavlov Mods

The Hide is a really special and unique game mode to find in a shooter, especially a Virtual Reality shooter.

So usually both teams are pretty equal in number and equipment so that one for one each player should have an even chance against each other, skill aside. Well, not in The Hide.

The Hide is an asymmetrical Pavlov mod that pits one player against every other player in the match. Oh, and the team with the majority of the players starts every round armed to the teeth with shotguns, rifles, and pistols kitted out with attachments. They can also even buy grenades.

The hunters rolling out heavily armed and looking for the monster

I bet you’re thinking this sounds pretty unfair, well it’s actually not because the solo player is a monster with two blades for arms that moves fast, jumps high, is extremely strong, and is also partially invisible.

The other team can really just see an outline of the monster, and will quickly fall if the monster gets close enough to use its blade arms.

The monster is very hard to see in this Pavlov mod

Each round has a timer, and the monster needs to eliminate all of the hunters before the time runs out or they lose. The monster also loses if the hunters manage to shoot them down as well.

This sounds simple, and it is, but wow is it a ton of fun and way different from most Pavlov VR mods or really Pavlov games in general.

As the monster you have to be very careful. You can see the enemy team through walls so you always know where they are, but you need to pick your opportunities to attack very carefully so that you can run away before being shot. You can take a few hits, but you can’t face down all of your enemies at once and expect to live.

As the monster you can see your hunters wherever they are

As the hunters you need to constantly be on your toes and constantly think about where the monster might be, and where it might ambush you from next. You have to use your ranged weapons to your advantage, though they won’t help if you panic and miss all of your shots.

The Hide is an absolutely fantastic multiplayer horror Pavlov VR mod that really freshens up with is possible in VR multiplayer games. Whether you’re the hunter or the hunted depends on how you play, and can change very quickly.

There’s even another version of The Hide called Infection that pits two visible monsters against an even larger team of hunters, except the monsters respawn, oh, and if they get one of the hunters that hunter becomes a monster as well.

Prop Hunt - Pavlov Mods

Of all Pavlov Shack mods and Pavlov mods, there is none that brings back memories of custom Call Of Duty matches like Prop Hunt does.

Whether or not you’re familiar with this game mode you’ll find that Prop Hunt is a classic that is an extremely good time. So if you’re not familiar it goes like this. There is a team of hiders and a team of seekers.

The seekers look like regular Pavlov characters, but the hiders don’t look like people at all, they’re props. You know, props, soda cans, cabinets, whatever you would normally find scattered around a level.

Now as a prop, you have to do your best to blend into the environment, though you can also move. Generally hiding is a better idea though, because seeing a watermelon slide across the floor is a dead giveaway, and the seekers can shoot you.

Yep, the seekers have straight up guns with infinite ammo, but the catch is that they lose some health if they shoot a prop that isn’t a hider, so they’ve really only got so many chances to spot you before they lose. If all of the seekers are gone then the hiders win, if all of the props are destroyed then the seekers win.

This Pavlov Shack mod is the resurrection of an absolute classic in Virtual Reality, and VR makes it so much better. Hiding while in a VR headset feels a lot like actual hiding. You’re doing your best to not physically move while a gigantic Pavlov VR soldier is looking down at you and wondering if you look suspicious or not.

If you see an open Prop Hunt lobby give it a try, there’s really no Virtual Reality game of hide and seek quite like it.

Well, that’s it for this list of some Awesome Pavlov VR mods that you really should try, whether you’re playing the game as Pavlov Shack on the Meta Quest or as Pavlov VR on PCVR. Unfortunately every great mod out there couldn’t make it into this list, though some honorable mentions go to Gun Game and of course the Call Of Duty zombies mod, which basically ports the classic Call Of Duty Zombies mode to VR. Whatever Pavlov mods you end up playing, enjoy!

The 3 Best VR Social Games And Social VR Games On the Oculus Quest and PCVR

One of the greatest things about VR headsets and Virtual Reality, in general, is how they can so completely immerse you into a space in a way that a similar experience on a flat computer screen just can’t.

All of your distractions are removed and the real world just melts away. This is what makes VR Social Games and Social VR Experiences so fantastic. The same goes for all sorts of Multiplayer VR Games, though the games listed here are more focused on meeting people.

Long gone are the days of AOL chatrooms being the norm, and text based communication is commonplace and easy to access on cell phones. Facetime and other video chatting applications give you some semblance of being in the same place as another person, but only show you as much as the limited view of a phone camera can.

One of the many things that makes VR worth it is the ability to seem so much more like you’re actually in the same place as another person who is actually really far away. Their avatar and your avatar can make you both feel like you’re in the same room chatting, complete with your head and hand movements.

Now you can gesture, nod, and talk freely in a virtual space using virtual reality. VR social spaces are the best thing that current technology can offer to let you have a conversation with anyone in the world, anywhere, and make that conversation seem as real as possible.

So if you’re interested in meeting up with or making friends online then you’ll want to check out some of the Best VR Social Games out there. It's a good thing you found your way here because this article has the Best Social VR Games there are.

Oh, and if you’re wondering how to play these games then you’ll be excited to hear that all of them are available standalone on the Oculus Quest 2 and 3, and also on PCVR through either the Oculus App or Steam.

One final thing too, all of the Social Virtual Reality games in this list are also completely free. So if one sounds interesting then go ahead and give it a try, no need to wait.

Alright, let’s finally get into this list of the Best Virtual Reality Social Games.

VRChat - The Best Social VR Games

The VRChat Logo

When it comes to Virtual Reality Social Games then VRChat is the oldest and most infamous.

You might even have seen some of the famous interviews on Youtube conducted completely inside of VRChat, and if your friends use VRChat then you don’t even need a VR headset to play. However, using your mouse and keyboard on the flat screen definitely does take some of the magic away.

There are a ton of different avatars to try, not just various types of humans. You can be Batman in VRChat, Homer Simpson, a dragon, or any of the other numerous characters that are available. You can find different avatars spread throughout the worlds that you visit and the people that you meet can help you find more.

More than anything else in VRChat you’ll find people spread throughout the game. Right at the start you’ll be thrust into a pretty basic world that is full of other people with crazy avatars and interesting personalities. You can walk around and explore with them while you chat, or just sit down and relax. That’s the whole point of this Social Virtual Reality Game. Meet people and explore interesting worlds with them.

VRChat has given the people and creators who play it a ton of freedom to make practically anything that they want. It’s not just avatar models either. The worlds themselves are also completely custom made.

From pretty familiar surroundings like a lounge or bar to absolutely fantastic Virtual vistas, there are a lot of different places to experience with others in this expansive Social VR Game.

Some of these places even function as games, like minigolf, or even have very interactive spaces like kitchens where you can cook. Though games and interaction aren’t VRChat’s strongest feature.

There are new models, worlds, and people coming to VRChat all of the time, and that level of creative freedom in worlds and avatars is what separates this game from other Social Virtual Reality Games and makes it truly special.

Rec Room - The Best VR Social Games

The Rec Room Logo

Rec Room is another long standing giant in the scene of Virtual Reality Social Games.

Where VRChat offers wild creativity, that creativity does come at the cost of needing to know a lot about 3D modelling and doing a lot of work to see your creation through. Not to mention a lot of VRChat’s games feel somewhat janky and more like mods than an intended part of the experience.

While Rec Room has a much more simplistic style to its art and models, what it does have so much more than any other of these Social Virtual Reality Games is give you the ability to create and modify games freely and easily. Each of the many worlds, rooms, and games found in this Social VR Game can be modified and tweaked by players like yourself.

Rec Room has a wide variety of places for meeting people and just hanging out, though you might not feel as immersed in these spaces if you’re not a fan of the less realistic looking characters in this game.

Phenomenons you might see in other VR Social Games like moving arms and mouths don’t work as well in Rec Room, it cuts down on the realism in order to make everything more modular and easy to use.

Though what Rec Room has are a ton of simple, relatable, and extremely fun games that you can easily get into with little context or tutorials and have a blast. There are a ton of things to try like paintball or even a sword fighting quest against goblins.

Rec Room also has an interesting system that lets you unlock new outfits and cosmetics over time. So while you can’t switch avatars to whatever you want right at the beginning, there is some fun and motivation to be had by getting new outfits as you play the game.

Rec Room is a lot of fun, and despite its more simple look it has a ton of charm and is a very easy VR Social Game to get into and start having a blast with new or old friends. Oh, and Rec Room can also be played without VR on a computer, or even a phone!

Meta Horizon Worlds - The Best VR Social Games

The Meta Horizon Worlds Logo

Meta’s Horizon Worlds is Facebook’s (now Meta’s) big attempt at creating a Virtual Reality Social Game of their own.

You might remember when the term “Metaverse” started entering our common vocabulary, and a big part of that was Horizon Worlds. Meta marketed this game very heavily, and while it may not have seen the levels of success that the company envisioned, it is certainly a fine example of what a Social Virtual Reality game can be.

Instead of the myriad of crazy avatars you’ll see in VRChat, your avatar in Horizon Worlds is the same avatar you use in the home environment of your Quest headset. Despite having no legs these avatars look pretty good, and if you have the right hardware on your face can even mirror your facial expressions.

There are also a ton of worlds to explore and hang out in, from official spaces created by Meta like futuristic cities, to user created spaces like idyllic beaches.

A Fishing World in Horizon Worlds

There are also a ton of activities to do in these worlds like fish, laser tag, and even more wild ones like a zombie defense world.

There’s that now familiar mix of user generated content that is coming all of the time. Though Horizon Worlds feels like a more heavily curated experience than other games on this list.

There are a lot of paid community managers, and stricter controls on swearing and other forms of profanity than in other games, which in this VR Social Game are more easily bannable offenses. Where VRChat still feels like the wild west of the internet Horizon Worlds feels more like a carefully curated tourism destination.

There are also a myriad of creator tools all located within the game, and while they aren’t the easiest to learn they are easier than most and have a variety of in game tutorials to teach them to you.

The close support of Meta makes Horzion Worlds the most polished Social VR Game out there, and it’s got a lot of official spaces and those curated by the community that are easy to find like comedy clubs or social meeting spaces. Even protests have been held inside of Horizon Worlds.

So if you want a safer space in Virtual Reality where there are still plenty of people to meet and things to do, or a more polished feel to your VR Social Game, then give Horizon Worlds a try. Oh, and it’s also available on PC if you don’t have a VR headset.

Well those are the 3 best VR Social Games and Social VR Games. Since they’re all free go ahead and give each of them a try, you’ve got no money to lose, and a ton of interesting people to meet and talk to. Enjoy!
