Top 4 Oculus Quest Games for 2020

Drop Dead: Dual Strike

Drop Dead dual strike where do I start…I’ll start with being brutally honest. When I first downloaded this game and played it, I tried to return it after about 10 mins. Let me explain, before playing Drop Dead I had just come from playing Pistol Whip and was use to that fast-paced type of gameplay. I almost didn’t give it time to be different and I’m really glad I did. Drop Dead is an Arcade style VR game that is a fun, not scary.

The campaign mode is ok, it starts off pretty slow. There is 15 levels per difficulty tier and 3 tiers total. The levels seem to be the same but each tier is harder, with slight changes like guns and bad guys.

What makes me coming back to this game over and over is its co-op horde mode! It’s about as much fun as you can have on VR with a friend and its not easy to master. One negative is there is only 4 levels on horde mode, I pray this changes with an update, it would be so cool to have more levels. Gameplay is a lot of fun and what makes it fun is the gun variety and loads of zombie variations. This game can be frustrating mainly in part because of two factors, gun loading, and guns disappearing when not used. This adds to the difficulty of the game, there is nothing more nerve racking than being eaten by zombies and having your gun jam!

If you love arcade shooters and have a friend or two with a VR set that you can play with, this game will be a huge hit for you!

Pistol Whip

Pistol Whip is a John Wick movie come to life! It’s loaded with up-tempo beats, retro game style, and intuitive gameplay. Pistol whip isn’t about creating a character and adventuring out to save the world. It’s simple in design and gameplay. You are there to do one thing and one thing only and that’s shoot everything in sight!

Each scene is basic. You move on a rail-guided system down a color-coordinated scene, gun in hand, as dark figures step out of the shadows and try and kill you first. Your job is to shoot them before they shoot you.

Everything about pistol whip VR is done correctly. It’s easy to start, hard to master and overall fun. What’s crazy is what a work out this game can be! On Medium and Hard mode I will be in full sweat! This game has great reliability and what makes people come back besides trying to master the game is the constant FREE updates….that’s right I said FREE! New levels added all the time.

Pistol whip is geared toward Adrienne junkies and john wick wannabe’s! If you want high energy and to kick ass this game is a must! This probably has the best single VR replayablity out of all quest games.

I Expect You To Die

This game is a must-own and so far one of my favorite of the quest. If you enjoy escape room type puzzles or general problem solving this game is for you. I expect you to die is a virtual reality puzzle game that sets you in a James bond era secret agent world. Its your job to get out of sticky situations and attempt to survive by using your problem-solving skills and wits.

I haven’t played too many puzzle type games on the quest except for moss and fisherman’s tale, in my opinion this game blows both of them out of the water. I found moss to be very beautiful but repetitive and fisherman’s tale clever but very easy and probably for a much younger age group.

This game is perfect for anyone who loves escape rooms and puzzle type games. I wish it never ended!

The Thrill of the Fight

This is boxing period. What a fantastic job by the developers making a simple, realistic boxing game, bravo! This is the only true boxing game on the quest at the moment. There is another game called Creed but that is a pure arcade game and not realistic in anyway.

This game has two main modes: boxing matches and training.

Training mode gives you a few options from a heavy bag, speed bag, to a punching dummy. This is where you really get a sense of the punching mechanics of this game. It really is impressive punching something that’s not there but feeling it.

Boxing is simple. 1 on 1 boxing matches with entry level to difficult opponents, no campaign or story mode just boxing. What’s fun about this game is it’s as realistic in its movements as you can be on VR and will live up to anyone with real boxing experience. My biggest take away from this however is the WORKOUT! I’m in my mid 30’s in decent shape and 1 or 2 rounds I’m dying!! Every single time I play I’m sweating and sore the next day, it’s insane!

This game is a must have for anyone who wants a solid work out and loves boxing.
