Virtual Reality (VR) experiences are still for the few, as is having a Eye Quest 2, for example, is restricted to tech enthusiasts who can afford a luxury gadget. However, it is undeniable that VR experiences open up a range of possibilities for artists and audiences to dialogue with new ways of consuming audiovisual products. To know some of them, check out this list of the best apps and games for Oculus Quest 2.
Dear Angelica
Interactive VR experiences go well beyond apps and games for Oculus Quest 2. Cinema is starting to understand and explore more resources in how to engage its stories more with the viewer and Dear Angelica is one of the best examples.
The animated short created by Oculus Story Studio with the Quill drawing tool, involves a girl who remembers her late mother, a former movie star, when watching her movies. The viewer then delves into the young woman's memories with the help of the gadget. It is a rich sensory experience, which grows if you are a lover of the seventh art, but which is not necessary, since it is a — healthy — way of living or living with grief.

Discovery VR
Perhaps one of the most recommended first experiences for a new Oculus Quest 2 owner is the Discovery VR. With it, it is possible to visit houses, dive with sharks, rappel down a canyon, or even venture into a space satellite. The content is provided by the Discovery Channel, which brings a lot of varied content for all ages.

Another app that combines education and exploration without leaving home is King Tut's Tomb VR. It offers a virtual tour of the tomb of King Tutankhamun, pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty and one of the most famous, both for its magnificent ten-kilogram golden death mask and the fact that the tomb remained intact until its discovery in 1922.

Seeker VR
Have you ever fantasized about riding a broom through Hogwarts or playing a game of Quidditch, with Seeker VR it is now possible. In this unofficial game of the Harry Potter franchise there is a great sense of freedom. While the player does not compete in Quidditch matches, he can simply fly through Hogwarts and even leave the campus, heading into the woods around the wizarding school. It's a literally magical experience, whether for fans of the franchise or not.

Jurassic World Aftermath 1 e 2
Who hasn't been curious to visit a dinosaur park after seeing a movie from the Jurrasic franchise? Good at Jurassic World Aftermath you can make this visit, but without taking the risks that the characters take in the movies, I mean, more or less. After all, in the games you must escape from an island full of dinosaurs, exploring the scenarios cautiously in search of exits. The tip goes to the two games, since they are complementary, both in narrative and experience.
Jurassic World Aftermath 1 e 2 no oculusMoss
Moss is a platform game where you guide a little mouse through an adventure that mixes combat and puzzles. Instead of putting you into the game in first person like most VR experiences, you play in third person, watching the beautifully rendered levels as if they were miniature dioramas. The only real problem with this game is that the campaign isn't very long.
It's interesting to see a more traditional video game adventure, which incorporates the characteristics of the best video games (attractive characters, suggestive landscapes, good combat and exploration) masterfully adapted to the possibilities of VR. Moss is, without a doubt, one of the best games for Oculus Quest 2.
moss no oculusStar Wars: Squadrons VR
With a first-person view of your X-Wing or TIE Fighter, Star Wars Squadrons VR is the latest and greatest way to experience space combat in VR. If we can consider it a good game in its traditional version (played on TV), in virtual reality it becomes a must for spaceship lovers.
The immersion that the people of Motive Studios managed to instill in the cockpit of the ships is incredible. Of course, because it's a spaceship game where we can loop, fly in all directions and rotate in different ways, motion sickness and motion sickness are always a risk. However, the cockpit is solid enough to lessen this discomfort in the less sensitive player.
In the bases, outside of the ships, the game is not that exquisite in virtual reality. It has too blurry images and some interactions a little stuck. However, in the part that really matters, we have an immersion and exceptional quality of controls.
Star Wars Squadrons na EPIC GAMES Star Wars Squadrons na STEAM Star Wars Squadrons na ORIGINA Township Tale
Township Tale is an open world VR RPG where players can team up with friends to explore a world full of mines, shrines and secrets. It's an ideal game for those who have already played tabletop RPGs and now, thanks to technology, can have an experience that goes beyond imagination.
Players can claim different roles in the city, such as warriors, blacksmiths or artisans. Each role has its advantages and plays an important role in how players level up as they explore caves, loot treasure, and defeat monsters.
Township Tale no oculusTraveling While Black
VR experiences are opening up a range of possibilities that other media are not possible and in Traveling While Black this proposal is put to the test. The director of this interactive experience that fuses 360º cinematic videos with VR, Roger Ross Williams, proposes that the player embark on a trip to the United States in the 50's and 60's, during the height of racial segregation.
Walking through real places, we must be guided by the green books - known as a travel guide for vafro-americans, the book indicated paths, establishments and "safe" places for black people - the proposal of the experience is to explore the horrors and fear that afro-americans -Americans felt on a daily basis simply because they were born black. It is not an easy experience, much less pleasant, but necessary, especially for people of color.
Traveling While Black no oculusKeep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Party games are also great requests for VR and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes It's certainly one of the most fun. In free translation, the name of the game is: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and this simple premise is what makes the game so fun.
It works like this: a player is trapped in a room with a time bomb that he must defuse. The other players are the “experts” who must give the instructions to defuse the bomb, deciphering the information in the bomb disposal manual.
But there's a catch: the experts can't see the bomb, so everyone has to talk about it – fast! Rounds are fast, tense, occasionally silly, and almost always loud. Everyone has a role to play, whether it's defusing the bomb or deciphering information from the manual. Communication and puzzle-solving skills – and perhaps some friendships – are put to the test as players try to defuse bombs while communicating quickly, clearly and effectively.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes no oculusDash Dash World
Still with party games, Dash Dash World it's a kind of Mario Kart in VR. With a wide variety of colorful tracks and game modes, weapons you can pick up and use against your opponents, and fast, responsive gameplay. It doesn't have the same charm or strong art style as Mario Kart, but it's the closest thing you'll find in Quest.
Dash Dash World no oculusSuperhot VR
Since the days of Max Payne – who was the first game to feature bullet time, Matrix-style super slow motion action – numerous other game designers have tried to create enjoyment in the game by including the mechanics in their game in some way. But often these games just seemed like an unnecessary, unimaginative cliché addition.
Superhot VR, however, breathes new life into bullet time, giving it a new twist. Time is essentially stopped until you start moving, then everything speeds up and threats become real-time, which makes for an exciting take on a classic gameplay style. The standard game is already highly praised for offering a fun and uncompromising experience, but which gains more strength in VR.
superhot vr no eyeresist
A dystopian future. An authoritarian regime. A tale of violence, intrigue and hope. Swing across towering skyscrapers and fight deadly enemies to free your city from the evil that consumes it. Will you bow to the forces of oppression? Or will you have the strength to Resist? resist is a single-player action RPG with a kinetic balance system, intense combat, and a fully immersive story.
Resist no oculusLucky's Tale
Have you ever imagined a Mario and Sonic-style platform game in VR? Well, while Sega and Nintendo don't even consider expanding the horizons of their respective mascots, Lucky's Tale is one of the best platforming adventures for anyone who owns an Oculus Quest 2!
Lucky's Tale is a third-person platformer with an isometric perspective. You control Lucky using the sticks on the Oculus Touch controllers, jumping over gaps and taking down opponents with a spinning attack.
Lucky’s Tale NO OCULUSTrover Saves the Universe
Developed by Squanch Games, Trover Saves the Universe is one of the most fun titles available for VR. If you're a fan of Rick and Morty, know that this game was developed by Justin Roiland, one of the co-creators of the Adult Swim series.
The premise is also suitably disturbed. You're a member of an alien race that just sits in movable chairs — like the humans in Wall-E, you know? – which is a useful coincidence for VR. You take control of Trover, the body of the (other) alien, on a mission to thwart the plans of the villain Glorkon, who has stolen your pet dogs. Yes, it's a mess, but believe me, it's purposeful and you'll have a lot of fun.
Trover Saves the Universe no oculusVader Immortal: The Star Wars VR Series
In this list we have already mentioned the experience of piloting a spaceship from the Star Wars universe. But how about coming face to face with the biggest villain of the franchise? This is the proposal of Vader Immortal: The Star Wars VR Series. In the game, we control an intergalactic smuggler who ends up being caught by Darth Vader in the Mustafar region.
The story is divided into chapters. In Episode I, a great introduction, to mechanics, to his companion Z0-E3 and Vader's stronghold. In Episode II, there are more fights, enemies and the dominance of the Force, generating a kind of tutorial so that, in Episode III, its grand finale takes place. However, all this does not last more than 3-4 hours. It can be done in an easy day. The title is strongly recommended for anyone who is a fan of the saga and wants to live this “cinematic experience” in a galaxy far, far away.
Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series NO OCULUSThe Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is a first-person game inspired by the series of the same name that brings an original story and an unprecedented character, created by the player. The game only works on VR viewers and cannot be played without the accessory.
The game's proposal is to take the action of the zombie escape that we follow in the series and in the comics, but in VR, that is, an adventure intended for those looking for strong emotions and not recommended for those who don't like horror.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners no oculusYoutube VR
Also developed by Google, YouTube needs no introduction, after all, you already know what it does. Your add-on VR for Oculus Quest 2 takes the experience by introducing VR playback.
Thus, the app allows you to browse your list of videos, favorites, comments and recommendations in a 360º view. The best part is that you can see “traditional” videos in the square area, but the multiple directional videos react to the movement and orientation of your head. So these immersive videos add another dimension when you are watching them.
You use the same YouTube app, but installing the YouTube VR Allows you to switch to “watch in VR” mode, to enjoy cinematic viewing of your favorite YouTube videos. It is designed to work with all major Gaget-compatible VR glasses.

Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted is the VR version of the famous killer robot horror game. The title takes the tension of the franchise to the Oculus and transports you to an environment of great suspense and horror.
Ideal for those looking for an immersive experience, however, it is worth remembering that this same experience brings the classic horror of the series, which cannot surprise those who have played other titles in the franchise.
Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted no oculUsVirtual desktop
You've probably seen simulated realities in works of fantasy and science fiction. THE Virtual desktop allows, in due proportion, users to stream their PC to the Oculus Quest 2, thus allowing it to control it through this new reality.
Immersion is more than just using your desktop through the gadget, as you can play within that reality, thus creating new layers. Also, the entire environment around your desktop can be changed. That means you could be editing photos in a jungle or playing games while orbiting in outer space.
Virtual Desktop NO OCULUSBigscreen Beta
O Bigscreen Beta puts you and your friends in a virtual cinema and your computer's desktop is projected onto the big screen. From here, you can stream whatever you want online with friends, as well as play games on your computer and do anything you can imagine.
In addition to the “cinema screen”, the app allows other possibilities to consume content or play online. That's because, you can either watch a movie on an IMAX screen, or play a classic game on a small 30-inch screen, in the best vintage style. For
For the best possible experience, the app allows for perfect height, position and curvature adjustments for ergonomic comfort. In addition, the choice of environments around the skin can be a movie theater, in the middle of a forest or even inside your home.

Extremely popular among “traditional” games, arena FPSs have a great representative in VR, the Space Pirate Trainer DX. The game transports you to an adventure quite like classic arcades, in which you fight a space pirate who fights droids.
One of the highlights of the game is the VERSUS version, its multiplayer mode, which takes the VR experience to literally other levels of immersion.
O Space Pirate Trainer DX no oculusOnward
Even in FPSs, Onward brings a war experience to the Oculus Quest. Although it was released in 2016 in early access, the full version of the game came out in 2020. Made by indie studio Downpour Interactive, the game managed to overcome even its poor graphics with an experience that transports you to the adrenaline of a modern war.
As it is a crossplayer game, you will have more opportunities to play with a group of friends, improving the experience, since unlike Space Pirate Trainer DX, mentioned above, in Onward playing in a group is essential to win battles, as a war.
Onward no oculusJob Simulator
The year is 2050. While humans remain scattered across the Earth, the vast majority of jobs are now handled by specialized robots, allowing people to spend their time worrying only about leisure. However, for the sake of historic preservation, it is important that humans know what life was like in the early 2000s, when they had to work to survive.
Satirizing the banality of everyday life, Job Simulator fulfills its purpose. In the simulator, we can experience four exciting 2000st century work environments: office, kitchen, convenience store and mechanic shop. In each of them, we must fulfill tasks to deserve the attention of our bosses and customers. It is possible to fry a steak, serve a popsicle, change the wheels of a vehicle and even play Flappy Bird on the company's computer. Exactly like the XNUMXs.
Job Simulator no oculusBeat Saber
Imagine an unlikely mix between the Dance Dance Revolution franchise and Star Wars; or Guitar Hero with Tron; all this happens in VR in the Beat Saber. The rhythm game has players slashing glowing sabers to the beat of music. It challenges players to keep up with the melody as they cut specific colored blocks from specific directions and avoid obstacles.
If you want to play some music, cut some blocks and sweat a little, Beat Saber is definitely one of the best casual VR games.
Beat Saber NO OCULUSEcho VR
Another arena adventure worthy of attention for Oculus Quest owners is Echo VR. Although simple, the action game, divided into two teams of androids that fight each other, has a big difference: the entire clash between the machines takes place in zero gravity.
The objective is to jump into the opposing team's ring, in a game that resembles the logic of American football. It's a simple concept and very well executed, and bringing two communities together is a big step. Combine these casual sport elements with sci-fi effects and “Tron style” visual design and you have one of the best games for Oculus Quest 2.
Echo VR not oculusBlade & Sorcery
Blade & Sorcery is a medieval sandbox, focusing on physical combat with swords. This fighting mechanic is very realistic as you can attack with moves practically created by you. From slashing through enemies with the tip of a sword to countering spells, the freedom of movement and strikes is almost limitless!

Last but not least we have Anne Frank House VR, an experience where you can pay a visit to the hiding place of Anne Frank, a victim of the Holocaust in VR. The immersion will give you the chance to go back in time to see what it was like for Anne Frank during the Nazi occupation between 1942 and 1944.
The tour lasts about 25 minutes, going through all the rooms in the Secret Annex, which are still furnished as they were during the war. Without a doubt, this experience is among the best apps for Oculus Quest 2.
