Job Simulator

Working in real life is rarely fun, but working in VR is a blast with Job Simulator. Fill orders as a cook, change tires as a car mechanic, toss staplers around and deal with HR as an office clerk, and ring customers through the checkout as a store clerk. This is hardly scratching the surface; you'll have to try it yourself to discover all the magic within. Great for all ages, grab Job Simulator for a lot of humor and not a lot of hard work.

Space Pirate Trainer

With retro graphics and a booming soundtrack, Space Pirate Trainer will hit a sweet spot for anyone who longs for those old days of arcade glory. Your spaceship is docked on a small platform, and droids seem to be out to kill you. You have two pistols with multiple firing modes to fend them off, plus you can switch them out any time for shields.

Another first-person shooter that takes full advantage of your entire VR space, Space Pirate Trainer will have you ducking and dodging incoming shots just as much as you'll be firing back for only $14.99 on the Oculus Store!

Fantastic Contraption

If you're looking for something that puts your intelligence to the test, Fantastic Contraption is a real challenger. There is a wide variety of courses to traverse, but there's a catch; you have to build big contraptions from scratch and have them navigate to the finish line. When you run out of levels that come with the game, grab levels other players have created. Feel free to contribute to the ever-growing collection of puzzles with the simple creation tools built right into the game.

Onward

A lot of VR first-person shooters use the zombie or future tech trope to deliver an exciting experience, but not Onward. This is a hardcore military simulator that will test your patience just as much as it will test your aim. It might take you awhile to learn all the controls and to get a hang of the dual-controller aiming system, but the payoff is deeply rewarding. Play in a squad with your pals, and take advantage of your entire VR space as you crouch, lie prone, and peek corners to get an edge on the other team.

Onward is currently in Early Access for about $25 on Steam!
