Budget Quest: Great Experiences for Under $10
After dropping $300 or more on a Quest VR headset, your wallet has already taken a pounding. You’ve explored my recommendations for free VR experiences — but you’ve got a little cash left; what is the best bang for the (saw)buck? Updated: 2020–10–25
Not much else to say — you want great experiences under $10. Here they are, in no particular order.
Shooty Skies Overdrive
It is impossible to believe for one second that this game wasn’t inspired by the crazy antics from the old developer Llamasoft (Attack of the Mutant Camels, Gridrunner) as it features crazy colorful enemies, strange bedfellows and wacky, zany sound effects presented in a very “retro game” sort of way.
The game features multiple worlds, with checkpoints along the way. Lots of unlockables (different players have different power up drop rates), power ups — you know, the regular stuff.
For those looking to keep coming back, you’ll find achievements to be had (which you’ll probably need to leverage unlockables to get).
The game has such a great retro vibe without trying to hard to be retro (does that make sense?) — I hate when things are included JUST to be retro and noticed.
