I’ve been a keen gamer since a kid. Now a dad, I’m in a similar position where I rarely have time to play. But I adore the Oculus Quest 2! I’ve just completed Resident Evil 4 (it took several weeks, but it’s the first time I’ve completed a AAA game in years). The immersion is amazing, I haven’t been this absorbed in a game in a long time. Fighting your way through a fully realised VR environment (massive castles, underground caverns etc) is something new to me. I found that most console games are too complex for me to get back into after a week or two away - the mental effort needed to remember the controls puts me off after a long day of work followed by looking after the kids - but RE4 VR doesn’t have this problem. It’s very intuitive - you grab weapons from different points on your body, reload with physical motions, and there’s only a few actions that map to button presses, so it’s made it easy to pick it up again after a break. I’m looking forward to seeing this platform develop. Bonus: I tell the kids they can’t use it till they’re teenagers, so whilst they hog the PS4 for Minecraft, the Quest is exclusively for my use. :)
