For a lot of gamers, virtual reality, or VR, represents the complete escape from the real world and total immersion into the game. Over the years, great VR games have come out and been praised by critics and gamers alike. Let’s take a look at our top three.
Chronos
For our money, Chronos is the greatest VR game adaptation ever. The original game was good enough as it is, but the VR take just took the game to another level. You’d be hard-pressed to find a game as immersive as the VR version of Chronos.
Thumper
Whereas Chronos is immersive, Thumper is innovative. Just like Chronos, Thumper started out as a non-VR title, and even then, it was an entertaining romp with a one-of-a-kind gameplay. Thumper, the VR version, has proven to be so much more hypnotic, and so much more addictive. Gamers have spent hours on the game simply because of how fun it can be to control your character.
Obduction

Obduction
And we have yet another adaptation of a non-VR game. Obduction may not be as immersive and as free-flowing as Chronos, but it’s more detailed, which counts for a lot in VR. Inspired by Myst, Obduction takes a player through a challenging journey that tests one’s wits at every corner.
