Best VR puzzle games

Puzzle is the VR-native genre — 3D space is the puzzle space, and the medium does most of the heavy lifting. We score for puzzle design (no walkthrough-bait), the moment-to-moment interaction tuning (precise grabs, satisfying object weights), and pacing across a full campaign. These are the recommended cuts (≥ 7.0) only. Co-op entries (Keep Talking, We Were Here) live here too.

Tentacular

Despite getting the game a few days before it was released, Tentacular took a lot longer to complete than I had expected.

Cosmonious High

In Cosmonious High, the player, usually referred to by some variation of 'New kid', is the first enrollee from the 'Prismi' species at the eponymous intergalactic institution.

Mare-2

Mare

The whole world of Mare feels both mysterious and macabre; it's borderline creepy at times and beautiful throughout its campaign.

I expect you to die 2

I Expect You To Die

I Expect You To Die captures the spy genre perfectly, then locks it in a room with lasers, poisonous gas, and evil assassins.

Ghost Town Meta Quest Review (3)

Ghost Town

Step into the shoes of medium Edith Penrose in Ghost Town, where solving supernatural mysteries means helping spirits move on rather than busting them. With stunning visuals, masterful audio design, and engaging puzzles, this atmospheric VR adventure stands as one of the Quest's finest offerings – a rare gem that understands what makes virtual reality special.

lies beneath oculus quest game review (6)

Lies Beneath

From the off, it's clear that Lies Beneath has a very polished presentation. Conveyed in a distinctive cel-shaded, comic-strip fashion, it uses the tropes and framing of a graphic novel to tell its narrative and justify its graphical style.

Ghost Giant

In Ghost Giant, possibly more than any other game on the Quest to date save Shadow Point, the inquisitive revelation of the narrative is the whole experience.

Vacation Simulator

Like any good vacation, you’ll be sad when Vacation Simulator is over, but because of the enormous amount of activities, you’ll want to check in again.

Shadow Point

Shadow Point for Oculus Quest is an engaging and fun game. The lateral but logical thinking needed to complete each area is a testament to the creativity and cleverness of the developers.

I expect you to die 2 quest review

I Expect You To Die 2

I Expect you to Die 2 is a sequel that seems to effortlessly continue from the groundwork laid down in the original. While it doesn't offer much that pushes the game beyond its predecessor, it doesn't fall behind it in any way.

Carly and the Reaperman

In addition to solo mode, Carly and the Reaperman was designed to be entirely playable in co-op. On Quest, this means a friend can join your multiplayer game using a code and take over either Carly or the Reaperman.

Trover Saves the Universe

Trover Saves the Universe is an adult humor game from Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland. It's full of cartoonish gore, potty talk, and a handful of mind-f@#!s.

Fail Factory

What's most surprising about Fail Factory, apart from the general air of quality that the game exudes, is the way the difficulty fairly but comprehensively increases as you progress.

Quill, the main character in Moss, is an incredible creation. Her animation is wonderful, and controlling her is a delight. Does the rest of Moss stack up?

République VR

If you don’t mind that this console and mobile port lacks physical immersion, Republique VR is well worth the price. It's just not really a VR game.

Reach Meta Quest Review (4)

Reach

At its core, Reach is a narrative-driven platforming puzzle adventure with elements reminiscent of classic Tomb Raider or Prince of Persia gameplay. When everything is working, it delivers some of the most thrilling moments I've experienced in VR—it's bloody brilliant when the systems behave.

Silent-Slayer-Quest-Review-4

Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire

Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire is a solid new title from Schell Games. While not as deep as their I Expect You to Die installments, it's fun and offers a nicely spooky and tactile VR experience well-suited to both VR veterans and VR newbies.

Eye-of-the-Temple-Quest-Review-1

Eye of the Temple

Eye of the Temple is an immersive puzzler that perhaps relies a bit too heavily on its locomotion system to keep you entertained. It's rewarding, but brief, and could have used more variety.

The Last Clockwinder Meta Quest Review

The Last Clockwinder

With great core mechanics, a fun concept, and a great art style, The Last Clockwinder is weakest at scope and exposition; it's a good game and a fun puzzler if not the must-have title I'd hoped it would be.

Pixel Ripped 1995

There are two worlds in Pixel Ripped 1995. One is the 'real' world of 1995, represented in cute 3D animated fashion, like an early Pixar production, and the other is the world of the game inside the game, Pixel Ripped.

There's not much more I can say about I Expect You To Die 3 without spoiling something. And there's very little I feel I can criticise about it, because it does everything it sets out to do with style and finesse.
