    I’ve spent around 6000hrs in Elite, much of it in VR. The mile wide inch deep trope was out of date five years ago and is utterly meaningless now. This is a complex, dynamic galaxy, with a phenomenal amount of diversity to keep those of us with a little imagination busy for years. VR enhances this to an utterly mind blowing level. If you have even a passing interest in sci fi, astronomy, or a gritty, believable, 1000 years into the future possibility (plus aliens) then it’s a must. Stick with it for the first 20 or 30 hours and the rewards will come.

    Elite is a gem of an VR game especially with HOTAS - Its absolutely insane.
    Yes it doesnt feature everything in VR (ground missions) but the space ship side of the game (What it was built upon, ground was added because player wanted it [And they failed]) is absolutely stunning in my opinion. Elite is and will always be my go to if I want space in VR.
    I hope X4 eventually gets a rework and maybe even VR addition - I tried X4 and was interested in it until I found out that its more of a Map based game if you want to make profit and there are no real missions.

The crackling sound of space with the sounds of engines/instruments blew me away. Stayed up all night. Glad it got more than a honorable mention.

And for a Quest Space sim - there is Vendetta Online - not the deepest or best, but you don't need a PC

    Yes, I can highly recommend Elite Dangerous, except for the 'space legs' section. Frontier REALY c*cked up that mode. They just took the pancake, sticked it in 'VR' and called it a day. A real shame. Also, don't use a controller or keyboard/mouse combo. I bought myself a Logitech X52 HOTAS and, although I know that isn't for everyone, The X52 looks exactly the same as the HOTAS in-game. So if you position it just right, it will line up with your arms. And as the animation is pretty much synced with the real buttons and direction you move the stick in, it REALY helps with the emersion!

    Curious, I absolutely loved the Visuals of X-Rebirth, and may just pick it up for that alone. But as an former X4 Player I have to say, for myself, it never felt like a Sandbox. IMHO the player has to assume responsibility for Fixing a broken economy in X4. And there is not much else to do with your money, and having assumed that role, you can look forward to babysitting a suicidal and all to often random AI. So, I guess I am asking, 1. Is it truly as sandbox, or another empire builder thinly disguised. And two is the AI any better. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

    That said, TY for another Gorgeous Video. Even if I never play half these games. An LT Video is always worth watching to my eyes.

    Thank you for the game suggestions. You're getting motion sick because you're using old VR headsets, (I did too in 2 of the 3 sets you mentioned!) Maybe plus an old PC system with poor framerates? Get the Quest 3 or something sold in 2023 and it's a different experience now. (Plus a powerful PC system to boot!) Plus in-game settings that eliminate shaking, motion blur, and other uncontrolled motion like excessive wind in MSFS2020 for example. (The plane bobbing up and down from wind currents still gets me a little nauseated on long flights in MSFS2020.)

    For those getting hyped for Elite: Dangerous (like myself), beware! If you own the Odyssey version get ready for a very nasty surprise the moment you leave the ship. Oh yes, if you have expected No Man's Sky like an experience you'll be slapped over a face by how unfinished this game is in VR. Spolier - you ll revert back into 2D looking through an ugly gray box that will totally destroy any immersion you might have had before you exit your ship. Not only that, the lazy devs. have completely abandoned implementing full VR. So yeah, if you hated how shallow this game is, but somehow got allured by the VR cake, don't get surprised or don't exit the ship with your headset on. For me this an immediate uninstall.
    Sidenote: Some modders actually shown how easy is to configure the camera for the VR outside the ship to prove how lazy/incompetent/careless the Frontier D. is. I have always thought David Braben would have want much better experience that we are getting. End of Rant.

    another one that i found really cool was ziggy cosmic adventures, short and a bit buggy, still lacking of endless and arcade modes but truly fun, the immersion of having to fix and configure things in your ship while cruising is pretty cool, but with just too much terrible combat and cringe storyline

    Very interesting list. The only one I disagree with is Elite. This may be as I was a fan of the original spectrum one and then got lost in Frontier elite on the amiga. I find the New elite dull.
    I played in VR and used to have a netflix window floating in the cockpit to be able to watch stuff on the long journeys... I realised I was watching netflix more than having stuff to do... I had hoped horizons would fix that, and that was cool, but still the long journey times in space ruined it a bit. I almost purchased the most recent addon until i read that they had not put VR into that addon. You have this immersive vr title, that yes is a bit dull, but cant fault the immersion then you get out of your ship and your looking at a floating flatscreen... I dont think it deserves to be on a VR title list for that reason.... As you say though, personal taste.
    No man sky, I will often fire that up with me on pcvr and my mate on psvr, its a fun title to play and natter.

    Elite Dangerous VR is amazing, most rewarding and dead game out there. with a flight stick and mastering a million keybindings for the flight and driving on planet mechanics. You will never look at gaming or take off your headset again. Its the only game in VR you can just play and play (and play again) that never gets old.
    Its really is sad the Frontieer Developers are oblivious they unintentionally created the immersion goat. In stead, decides to throw away manpower and money into failed early 2000s games no one wants to play.
