Single Player Shooters
Note: Great single player shooters tend to be on the expensive side, so we’re offering a few more titles for you to consider beyond the ~$100 target.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – $30
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is one of the best games on Quest, bar none. Tossing the user head-first into a post-apocalyptic New Orleans, you navigate rival gangs, take out walkers with gun or blade, and run at full speed hoping to get back to base before the sun goes down and you’re mobbed to death by the undead. It’s not open world, but you’ll probably forget that considering how large and detailed bespoke levels are. You could also grab the sequel ‘Retribution’ for $10, which is a steal of a deal, but the original hits so much cleaner.
‘TWD: Saints & Sinners’ on Quest
Arizona Sunshine 2 – $40
Arizona Sunshine 2 has cross-play co-op with PSVR 2 and SteamVR, but it’s a great single player game full of zombie-slaying madness. Even if you’re going solo, your canine pal Buddy will help you take down the shambolic baddies and even solve a few environmental puzzles along the way. Kill a stupid amount of zombies in this 5+ hour campaign. Arizona Sunshine Remake is also worth a look – but critically doesn’t feature Buddy, the bestest boy in the whole wide world, oh yes he is!
Metro Awakening – $40
It’s not the best Metro game to exist, although it is undeniably a banger of a VR game in its own right. As a survivor of nuclear Armageddon, you cling to existence in the buried subways of the Moscow Metro, where ghosts and spirits haunt the living in this man-made purgatory. Shoot monsters, navigate enemy gangs, and breath in the claustrophobic underground tunnels that both protect you as refuge and entomb you from the horrors above.
Into the Radius – $30
Into to Radius 2 still isn’t really on its feet just yet, although the original Into the Radius is always worth recommending on Quest. Set in the a blighted, Stalker-inspired zone cut off from the outside world, you battle entities with realistic weapons that you’ll need to clean and maintain. Scrounge, fight, dodge dangerous anomalies, and complete missions on your way to the Radius center to uncover the mystery and promptly get out of dodge.
Resident Evil 4 VR – $40
You might have played it before on flatscreen, but Resident Evil 4 VR for Quest is so good even if you’re not specifically looking for a blast from the past. Fair warning: there’s a bunch of cutscenes that play out like movies in a black void, but it’s still pretty amazing to step into the polished and patently decrepit world of Resident Evil and take on the mantle of un Forastero as you upgrade guns and scramble for health potions at every turn.
