Comment on Is a Quest 3 really worth it?

If you have a solid gaming PC, yes. There is no immersion quite like VR. No amount of monitors will get you there.

It’s a bit of a faff each time you want to get it going (having to start the link each time), at least compared to a dedicated headset like the original Rift. The Quest 3 is a bit pricy, the 3S and 2 not so much. There’s a few decent exclusives for the 3 that aren’t even available on PC, so of the two I’d get the 3S.

Low framerate will make you dizzy. The resolution not so much. You will need a decent GPU.

Most VR games are fairly small and low budget affairs. The big exception is Half Life Alyx which is amazing. The game I come back to the most is VRChat, just for the massive number of worlds that people have made. It will help you get your VR legs over time.

I don’t even think you need the PC to go with it, really. There’s not much now that is both worth playing and isn’t also just natively on the Quest besides Alyx.

If you haven’t tried No Man’s Sky in VR, you’re really missing out. I have about 800 hours in it (90% in VR) and still go back to it day 1 if a new Expedition.

Walkabout Mini golf is a must-have.

Myst and Riven are fantastic in VR.

Star Wars Squadrons, Project Wingman, MS Flight Simulator… Pretty much any flying game with a HOTAS setup is great in VR.

Same can be said for racing games with a wheel setup.

Alyx is truly fabulous, but there are plenty of other great VR experiences to be had.

And that’s not even including what’s available with the VR injection mods. Cyberpunk in VR is pretty awesome, even with the jank that comes with playing a pancake game in VR.
