Given that the Oculus Quest 2 (currently titled Meta Quest 2) is at the top of our best VR headsets list, it will likely be a hot gift this holiday season And for newbies entering the Quest ecosystem for the first time, it can be hard to figure out what's worth downloading

Fortunately, there are a few games that we feel everyone should consider downloading These games are not necessarily the best Oculus Quest 2 games out right now, but rather a sampling of diverse experiences that will introduce users to the world of VR

For this list, we only recommend games that can be played natively on Quest 2 While it is possible to play additional games that are more graphically intensive with a PC connection, we believe it is best to focus on ease and accessibility for beginners

Beat Saber is the most popular game in the Quest Store, and for good reason This title is like Guitar Hero, but with lightsabers Instead of hitting notes with a plastic guitar, players must slash through cubes that correspond to beats

For the novice, this is a great demonstration of VR's potential: fast, frenetic one-on-one movements not only give players a sense of realism, but also provide moderate exercise

For gamers new to VR after years of familiarity with it, it's good to start with something familiar: since its release on the Gamecube in 2005, "Resident Evil 4" has been ported to every possible platform, and its rural Spanish setting is The setting of a rural Spanish town is etched in the minds of gamers

However, "Resident Evil 4 VR" is no casual port; Armature Studios has put a lot of effort into bringing this popular title to VR In our experience, it works wonderfully Resident Evil 4 fans, even those who have played it many times, deserve to play it again in VR

When motion controls were first introduced on the Wii in 2006, one of the most engrossing tech demos was the "Wii Sports" golf mini-game Although cartoonish, it demonstrated the power of motion control for the precise movements required for golf

Now, Quest 2's "Golf+" shows just how powerful sports can be in VR Not only can players drive the ball in TopGolf, but they can also play on intricate courses in a variety of locations; VR takes immersion to a new level by allowing you to crouch down and see the curvature of the course Ultra-casual sports fans and even those who have no interest in golf will find much to enjoy in Golf+

"Thrill of the Fight" may not be the prettiest of the "Quest 2" boxing games, but it is the most realistic This game focuses more on fundamentals than flashy KO moves The game is also half workout app because it tracks calories burned and exercise metrics And at $9, it's cheaper than many of the other titles on this list

For those who want a slightly more arcade-like experience with better graphics and sound, Creed: Rise to Glory is a good choice However, at $29, it is rather expensive

When it comes to shooters in VR, people often recommend Superhot While it's a fun game that makes you feel like Neo from The Matrix, we feel that Pistol Whip is a bit more grounded in the real world Even if that world is a Tron-esque virtual western

Bowling is another VR delight; like Wii Sports, bowling makes a lot of sense when motion controls are involved ForeVR Bowl, a casual arcade-style bowling game, made our list because it's simple and fun This is great for beginners who want to knock down pins and have a good time without worrying about the intricacies of the sport

For a more realistic bowling game, we recommend Premium Bowling

Tetris is one of the most recognizable games ever The simple block-matching puzzler is deceptively addictive The formula is so simple that it is difficult to iterate on the basic design Tetris Effect" showed the hidden potential of the Soviet-made game

"Tetris Effect" essentially turned a puzzle game into a rave Yes, as strange as it may sound, there is a reason this game has a score of 89 on Metacritic Once you're in the zone, this game feels transcendent
