Genre
Casual, Mixed Reality, Music & Rhythm

Developer
Beat Games

Let’s start with an absolute classic. Beat Saber is to VR gaming what Guitar Hero used to be to rhythm games back in the day. The controls are tight, the gameplay simple yet addictive, and it’s an awesome gateway drug into VR gaming. Beat Saber, thanks to its rhythm-based gameplay, is easy to pick up, and the soundtrack and visuals make the whole experience incredibly enjoyable when cutting blocks and ducking from incoming walls.

Unfortunately, there is no mixed reality support on Meta Quest 3 yet, but this classic title is a must-have nonetheless – it’s a lot of fun and, on the higher difficulties, is also quite a nice workout!

Who knew puzzle games could be so addictive? Cubism allows you to manipulate virtual blocks and mixes it up with your real surroundings thanks to Meta Quest 3’s mixed reality update. It’s, at the same time, quite laid-back but also demanding, making for a fun puzzle-solving activity, and doing so within your own space – for example, using your desk – is quite mind-bending.

If you’re into Call of Duty’s zombie mode or other similar games, Drop Dead: The Cabin is the game for you. Even better, with the Home Invasion update, the gameplay – which essentially consists of you defending your home from hordes of zombies – is even more engaging, as you’re not defending some weird mansions anymore – thanks to the mixed reality capabilities of Quest 3, you can defend your own home from hordes of zombies.


The game transforms your apartment into a gameplay arena, which makes the stakes so much higher when defending your own kitchen, living room, or dog, from hordes of the undead.

What’s more, thanks to its co-op mode, you can have fun with up to three friends, making the experience that much more enjoyable. If you’re into medieval combat with a hint of fantasy or just want to hack and slash your way through hordes of mobs, that’s the title for you.

Genre
Action, Shooting

One of the biggest ways the Meta Quest 3 differs from its predecessors is the ability to transform your real spaces into a gameplay field. Espire 2 excels in that field, turning your house into a setting for your stealth mission, where you try to complete your objectives or hide behind your own couch to avoid enemy fire. It’s a great implementation of mixed reality and really pushes the boundaries of the stealth action genre.
