2019 was a great year for VR. The small segment of the games market grew exponentially, with more and more users appearing across multiple platforms, even the Nintendo Switch! While a number of fantastic VR games that are available today released a couple of years ago, I’ve put together our top five VR games of 2019 to raise awareness of the awesome experiences you may have missed.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a PSVR game, and probably one of the best VR games available on the system. Developed by Japan Studio, the game is one of the few to give the player a presence in the world, in addition to needing to control the main character, Captain Astro. Levels can span 360 degrees, requiring players to look and move around in order to complete them, while others have physical barriers that players need to headbutt so that Captain Astro can move forward.
Across the game’s five worlds players will enjoy the tight platforming experience combined with the PSVR. In addition to enemies attacking Captain Astro, players can be attacked by certain enemies in the world, making the platforming genre feel fresh and new. It’s the bosses that are the highlight of this game though, combining several elements and power-ups from throughout the game with the tiny on-screen robot to create some truly enjoyable and memorable moments.
No Man’s Sky Beyond
In August 2019 Hello Games launched their biggest update to No Man’s Sky yet, Beyond. Among a plethora of other features, the update added VR to for players on a number of different platforms. Everyone should understand the game’s premise by now, a space exploration game within a procedurally generated universe. Players are free to follow the story and missions, or just fly off and create a home for themselves on an alien world.
