The Oculus Store - and Steam - have many games and apps with few ratings and reviews. And currently there's so much VR content that I believe most of us haven't got enough time to try it all.This thread is dedicated to the potentially awesome games or apps that may have been lost/forgotten or overlooked. Some examples could be games with fewer than 20 ratings:Final Assault - 16 ratings - average 96% Bow to Blood - 3 ratings - average 100%Actually these games are bad examples, because I haven't tried them. This thread is better suited to tell about a totally awesome VR game that you think other persons should know about. Games that so far have gotten little or no attention in this forum. My first real contribution to this thread could be Marble Land, it's cheap, has full Touch support, it's really a great puzzle game - great graphics and performance (even using high levels of super sampling) - and it has an awesome 96 % rating based on 13 ratings:https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1219205288123671/

I feel like not enough people have discovered Loco Dojo.It's a party game. A really well-made party game with a really nice art style, and very creative games at that. All very motion-control focused (in fact, this is something I revisited specifically to test out the Rift-S' tracking)Even if you can't find people to play against, it does offer a single-player challenge mode, where you just go from game to game and try to score as high as possible, cumulatively (Good way to learn the various games and practice before actually taking other players on)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4eu0saLiOQThis is a very polished awesome game. It's less than $10. Definitely better than Vader Immortal 2 but totally overlooked.

Glad you like it. I still have a lot of work to put into it :)

Plays and looks excellent on my Q2/rtx3090 with touch controllers, wireless with Air Link. It even has a proper Oculus runtime. I just needed to start up Air Link, go to the virtual desktop, and select the desktop shortcut. Works perfect and has lots of headroom and low latency. Fun little casual puzzle game and if you liked the board game Mousetrap when you were a kid, you'll love it! Cannot ask for better value imho. https://store.steampowered.com/app/503280/Marble_Land/ I also tried it with my Vive Pro/Index controllers and it also worked fine (even though the Index controllers show up as Vive wands, lol!). Even at 200% visuals I had no problem getting a smooth 90fps. To be honest it did not look any better than my Q2 with its res slider maxed out. This is a hidden gem imho. Cheers.

Operation Warcade VR. It is Operation Wolf style arcade game with a twist. There are so called "immersive points" where you get in middle of action . Took me about 10 hours to get to last level open.

It reminds me of a Xbox 360 game called Marble Blast.

However at $16.99CDN it’s not worth it.

It does look great (for the brave dudes who enjoy VR horror 😄 ) - seems only to be available on Steam, and only to support Rift:

Yup, it's quite good. All done by one developer too. It's quite buggy in places though but easily worth a fiver.

Despite its minor flaws, from time to time I'm enjoying BlasterCell - it only costs $4 (if I remember correctly):

  That’s a great list! Many VR users often miss out on hidden gems that can offer unique experiences beyond mainstream titles. While exploring these lesser-known apps, it's also a good idea to consider tools that support your financial planning needs—like using a helpful rate cap estimate to stay on top of market trends. Mixing smart entertainment with smart finance is a win-win!

I'm not going near that. I'm practically a god in real life, I want to do something DIFFERENT when I'm in VR B)
