Virtual reality can amplify the escapism we often seek in video games, it can craft unique experiences that can’t be replicated outside of a headset, and deliver the potential for true immersion. That’s the idea, anyway, and 2019 was no stranger to groundbreaking, medium-defining games that made the most of it.
Best VR Game of 2019: Beat Saber
Beat Saber is nothing short of medium-defining, brilliant in its simplicity despite its odd elevator pitch — what if you wielded two lightsabers and struck down blocks flying at you to some sick beats. But that odd combination is something Beat Studio perfected from the go, with a fantastic beat-matching mechanic that makes its VR tunnel of lights and floating blocks enthralling to lose yourself in.
