Games that make you sweat without feeling like exercise games. Think pistol whip and Until you fall

I've got an oculus quest 2 and I've got over 100 hours into Until You Fall, and probably a similiar amount into pistol whip. Love both games, would highly recommend.

But variety is the spice of life, so what other games do people recommend?

I've tried beat saber, supernatural and Miles body combat and they either require too much co-ordination and feel to much like exercise. I haven't tried Sythn-rider but I'd worry it has the same issue.

I do have some limitations that might make things harder.

1- I don't like realistic violence against people that are still people. Until you fall they're human shaped but more like zombies and there's no blood. Creed/thrill of the fight also were a no good.

2- Any vertical movement tends to trigger motion sickness for me. I really wanted to like Swarm but it made me soooo nauseous. Same with The Climb/The Climb 2. Even some parts of Apex Construction got me feeling dizzy.

I am however totes down for horror themed things. Punching zombies in the face is fine. Punching monsters in the face, also fine.

So what recommendations do you got?

You've got to try Blaston! It's a totally free game where you dodge enemy bullets matrix style in intense 1v1 battles. Trust me, it'll get you sweating! And if you're into epic sword fights, check out Broken Edge too.

The future of home entertainment!

Audica may be a good one for you. Similar music / gun stuff to Pistol Whip, no movement, no human targets, similar exercise potential to Pistol Whip.

Although sadly its been pulled from the Meta store. It currently breaks one of the updated store rules and Harmonix don't seem to care enough to update it (been like this since at least november). For people that already own it, it plays fine but the leaderboards are disabled due to the rules.

The PC version is still available on Steam.

Hello, @sekinpetr! Welcome to the community, it's good to have you here. You should definitely give SUPERHOT VR a try! It's an incredibly enjoyable shooting game that will definitely make you break a sweat. I've played it a few times myself and ended up with sweat on my headset, haha!

Don't worry be happy.
