Hot Dogs Horseshoes and Hand Grenades - Is this 2016 game still relevant today?
Im suprised you didnt include culture cubed, Maestro vr
Batman arkham shadow is the greatest vr game I have ever played. Perfection
And we need more games like it if that quality!
0:50 Why would there be roguelike elements. Title has a common english word in it, but it is clearly about the incursion, not the character/gameplay.
Due to the game’s title for a long time everyone thought it would be a roguelike.
Just wanna shoutout that you're one of the first "VR List" video's I've seen where I felt like you actually played all these games, and werent just trying to sell me something as a shill for Facebook. Good video
Thanks man I appreciate that!
Excellent video! Thanks and merry Xmas. Got into VR this year via MQ3. Love it. Batman was my GOTY just for fun factor. Just started up Metro and will probably buy ASR while it’s on sale. Cheers all 🎉
Nice! Glad you’re enjoying this whole VR thing!
Glad to see a channel not using annoying AI voices and scripts. Those lazy parasites are ruining UA-cam. Good job 👍
Yeah I’ve run across a few too many as well. The ones that make me laugh are the fake AI voices of celebrities. Like that’s almost Morgan Freeman but not.
@@bmackVR Ha funny. I can't wait to hear that one 😄
Sail not mentioned 😥
I’ll be honest, this is the first I’ve heard of it hahaha, but it looks pretty good!
@@bmackVR Its a really good game! I'm friends with the devs, they are really cool people!
Does anyone know why I can’t grab stuff with my right controller on phas. I literally just bought the psvr2
Does your grab button work in other games then it’s prolly just a phasmo bug. The game is known for its buggy and jankiness.
“subside” for me… this game is utterly incredible in VR. And was made by just one developer. A game like this was why I bought the headset.
I’ve heard rave reviews, I’ll have to check it out!
@ The level of immersion and detail in the graphics and sound design is unmatched for me. It’s also very addictive swimming around looking for treasure to get that next locked item.
@ yeah I can see that. A good combo of sound and visuals does so much more in VR!
@@bmackVR would love to see you do a review of it and experience it for the first time. It’s games like this that will really push VR forward.
This might be the best VR list I've seen yet, with well organized and clear information. Subscribed!
Thanks and glad to have you! Happy gaming!
Only one I can think of, if you haven’t played it, was MADiSON VR. Scariest piece of media I have ever experienced
I wanted to play it this year, but I was hoping for a bigger sale during Halloween. I do love me some horror! Phasmo might be my most played VR game at this point.
My first video I've seen of your and subscribed. I would like to see your best VR games of 2024 including games that came out previously. For me, I agree batman is awesome but I still find myself playing some much older games. What are your personal favourite best VR games up to now? Don't reply- make a video ;)
Very nice list.👍 For me personally, Batman didn't get any higher than #5 for various reasons. But I generally agree with the other spots. My Top 1 layer from these year releases are Maestro and Behemoth and Top 2 layer would be Metro and Arizona Remake.
For awhile I had Maestro on my list, but it probably sits at around 13 or so. Really fun game! I got super into it haha.
Interesting top 10. I really haven't played too many new games that came out this year because I have a back log and enjoying older games right now but it seems 2024 games have been underwhelming in my opinion. I have been having a better time with RE games in VR this year than any other game. For co-op both Arizona Sunshine games are great though and fun with friends. Into the Black is kinda fun with friends as well but not too fun alone. So many people have their own tastes and opinions but the bar is set too high in VR after HLA and the UEVR injector in my opinion. I am interested in Behemoth but I probably will wait for a sale or something still. I thought when I first saw previews on it I would rush to get it but seeing someone actually play it in a stream I lost that hype for it. Maybe better games will come out in 2025 but that just makes me want to wait for my next PC to play these newer games.
Agreed! I think the RE games might climb atop anything released this year, however at the same time, I think on average the games we got this year maybe reached higher? Like the standard has now been raised for VR games. Fun playing Arizona sunshine with you, we still need to finish some of the DLC!
Damn shame Aces of Thunder didn't make it, haven't even got round to Batman or Behemoth yet. Alien seems like a bit of notable disappointment, as they rushed a half a game out before Xmas and only on PCVR. Reckon Subside maybe should get an honourable mention. Asgard's Wrath 2 still beats any game I've played this year so far - tons of content, great puzzles and the combat is great. Metro Awakening was a decent effort for sure. Merry Xmas!
Thanks and you too!! For me it doesn’t seem like Alien is half of a game. I think they were going for like viral hype with the part 1 and 2 thing. I haven’t played subside, but I’ve heard good things!
Excellent list! It’s pretty wild how many amazing games we got for VR in 2023, yet 2024 showed out even bigger. So many great VR games to keep us entertained for years to come.
You play mannequin sometimes right?? we should team up I need more adults to play with haha
Which year had better games 2023 (Resident Evil 8 and 4, GT7, Vertigo 2, The Light Brigade, Asgard's Wrath 2) Or the games of 2024?
@@bmackVR Both years were quite equal about great deliveries.
2024 definitely
Do you play realistic or arcade?
I bounce around really. When capping footage sometimes I just want to get further in the game faster so I’ll lower it down.
@@bmackVR what do you more reccomend?
For the newbies -- I just downloaded and played it, and I can confirm that the tutorials are excellent, and you can even start out with advantages, like being indestructible, and having helpful banners appear that say, "Duck!" and, "Pistol whip this guy!" My only questions are: How do I know who my enemies are, vs innocent bystanders? And how do I kill a guy who has armor?
Glad you’re liking it Mary! You can only kill enemies and they are usually bright white, the non enemies are a dull color. Also to kill the armored ones just keep shooting. It takes 2 or 4 shots. To the kill the guys fully armored in like mech suits or knight armor, you gotta pistol whip them.
The controls on the Vive controllers are shockingly bad
Im not surprised to hear that sadly. Vive isn’t listed as supported.
Clearly: this game was rushed out for the holidays. Our industry will never learn. Never. Do not buy this.
Have you thought about being a carpenter? You’re good at hitting the nail on the head.
I will not buy until it will work on virtual desktop or steam link. Airlink doesn’t work for me and I have a PS VR 2 but I don’t like to play tethered if I don’t have to.
Right now PSVR2 is the best version. But I totally understand. I prefer PCVR for most stuff.
After delaying multiple time, it’s was a big let down. Wasn’t worth the wait. Couldn’t get into it after 30mins of playing. Same boring mission. Wait til $30 if you’re lucky
Games like this are better after a couple of patches. I’m gonna wait a bit.
theree no point in the motion tracker as the aliens just constantly spawn.
After a while it does start to feel that way.
Thank god I hate rogue like games. Cant wait to play!!!
Hope you like it!
This is an Xbox
Please tell me this game has actual proper instant snap turning where you don't see any turn frames in between each angle, and not fake "snap" turning that's really just faster smooth turning in segments where you technically still see all the turn frames? Behemoth f'd this up--and it still makes me motion sick when this isn't dont right--so I'm gonna be totally pissed off if another tentpole AAA VR game has done the same too!
I didn’t test this sorry, I’m a smooth turning guy.
@@bmackVR Can you test it quickly and let me know? I mean, just take five mins to select it and then press the stick a couple of times to see. It would be greatly appreciated. If not, no problem, but just figured I'd ask. I'll be playing it in a few hours regardless.
@inceptional why won't you test the game yourself, and if you don't like it, refund it. Dude, can tell you anything and you still might like it or not. You can't judge the game on that alone.
@@naturalstate8539 That is precisely what I will be doing in literally a few hours time.
Why on earth would the PCVR version have lower resolution textures & no SteamVR/VD support? Totally unexceptable tbh. At the cost its a pass from me.
So they rushed this game out the door. VD is crucial in my book!
Probably just didn’t test it enough. I and plenty of content creators have passed this feedback along to the team.
I feel a Big Four comparison/versus/review is absolutely crucial content at this point! Metro vs Batman vs Behemoth vs Alien!
That’s not a bad idea. I think for me my next video is going to be my top 10 of the year. So that will kind of serve that purpose, but I like the idea.
Everything is better on the PlayStation period!
I'm sure the Pony exec's will give you a good boy pat on the head.
😃😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As someone that does pcvr and psvr 2 on PS5, this is absolutely not true. The difference in quality between the two versions is entirely on the developers and they dropped the ball at launch it sounds. PSVR2 should never have better quality textures when I have a PC that literally has 3x more processing power than a PS5.
@CR00K__Gaming You just clarified my statement. Thank you
Lol except selection. Keep in mind, my quest/PC experience h Keeps getting better. And the only have you can play I can't is gran Turismo .. but I have so many things you can't play. Enjoy your paperweight
It will be patched at some time I imagine, but until then I will not be buying.. Shame games are rushed out all the time these days. Great review.
Thank you!
No Virtual Desktop gets a big nay-no from me. Air Link has too much compression, as does Steam Link. Virtual Desktop is king, and this sounds like a big missed opportunity. I think I’ll hold off until it’s patched to work with it, or I may just pass all together even though I love the Aliens franchise. At the $40 asking price for a VR game, I expected it to work with every streamer. Good review though 👍🏻👍🏻
You can tweak the bitrate of airlink, but I agree, it’s inferior. I think they will patch it at some point.
@ yes it does, but even at the highest bit rate, it still does not compare even in the slightest to how clear VD looks. Fingers crossed they do patch it 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Thanks for the reply! 😃
Yeah, No VD is a HARD pass for me, Games look and run WAY better, VD also has less latency between your router and headset.
Amazing review dude. You talked about all the things I was concerned about. So hyped for this game.
3:00 This is definitely a LOD issue. Where for some reason, it's not loaded the high LOD version of the asset.
Hmm good to know! I bet they fix it then. There are still plenty of low res texture though . It’s a good looking game overall. It’s not breath taking. Its similar to Metro at times
Good reviews buddy… I had a quest 2. And became fairly disillusion with VR. I felt like the games were just not coming out, there was a lack of content. And played VR in awhile. But I ordered a quest 3 today, because aliens rogue concursion looked really good. And I’ve been waiting for the aliens VR experience for so long. Looking through some of your reviews I realise actually there’s a load of VR games that come out been below my radar. Good to know ….. 👍 I subbed ya
Thanks man! Appreciate it and welcome to VR, take it a bit slow a lot of people need to build their VR legs before jumping into something like alien.
@@bmackVR I had PSVR and Quest 2…… I’m ready!

Good review …. The spawning rate seems to be a consistent complaint. Pacing is important.
Yeah I’ve noticed that too. I haven’t watched any review that says they like the spawn rate
Hoping to play this on the quest 1 with steam link. Play bone works and half life Alyx ok.
Great game for OLED colors.
I'm so glad they are making this into a normal VR game ... I will be happy to pay 50 bucks for each chapter
I’m hoping that chapter 2 is not more of the same, but a step in the complexity of the game and the situations it puts you in.
I think this is the best review on UA-cam for this game rn
Thank you I really appreciate that!
You're the first full review I've seen. Subscribed!
Thank you!! It was no small effort to get a full review in haha. Go Pack!
Great in depth review! Like to see how your videos have improved over time. Looking forward to playing this one. Fingers crossed that someone from the team finally gets back to me. And of course fixes that game breaking save issue. Alien Isolation was such a fun time in VR that the announcement of a made for VR version had me hyped.
Thanks Farmer! Appreciate you man!
