Alien: Rogue Incursion does a lot of things right. It skilfully transfers the claustrophobic atmosphere of the first Alien films to VR: the alternation of light and darkness, the nested corridors and rooms and the omnipresent Xenomorphs ensure that you are constantly on edge – even when you get into a certain routine in fighting the Alien. The disadvantage compared to other survival horror games is that there is essentially only one type of enemy here – and not, as in Doom and Co., a wide range of creeps. But the intense moments of the game, when Zula just reaches the safety of the Panic Room or wins a fight with the literally last bullet, make up for that. The setting with the rescue mission is somewhat generic, but Survios has put a lot of effort into the dialogue and dubbing. The game definitely fulfils the most important criterion: it feels like a real alien adventure.

"C-Smash VRS" is one of the most original sports games for VR. The minimalist look may not be to everyone's liking, but it fits perfectly with the game's electro soundtrack. "C-Smash VRS" creates a remarkable flow and also offers enough variety with its game modes. The ball physics of the virtual squash game are quite treacherous from time to time - if you want to show full physical effort, you should have a sufficiently large playing surface. If we can only hope that a loyal community develops on the Quest and Pico platforms, then "C-Smash VRS" could even establish itself as an e-sportin the medium term.

"Pacific Drive" is an extremely atmospheric survival game that draws its charm from the exuberant inhospitability of the exclusion zone. Loneliness and menacing anomalies make our old station wagon our closest ally. If you like roguelikes and crafting, you will find a rich field of activity in "Pacific Drive" - but the tinkering and fiddling sometimes get a bit out of hand. If you leave the somewhat tough start to the game behind, you will be rewarded with a motivating expansion system. The exclusion zone is an almost mythical place - and certainly not for the faint of heart.

Lego Bricktales and VR are a perfect match. In virtual reality, the brick constructions seem almost tangible. It's simply fun to look at the detailed dioramas from different angles - especially in the Quest 3's passthrough mode, which places the game in your living room.

"Walkabout Mini Golf" is a veritable VR hit for a reason: The game offers intuitive, motivating gameplay and varied courses with a number of challenges. At the same time, it proves that VR doesn't have to be hectic and exhausting at all, but can be a really relaxing place that you want to return to again and again. "Walkabout Mini Golf" makes up for the lack of realism in terms of graphics and haptics with cleverly designed levels and a great atmosphere. So have fun playing miniature golf in the jungle, in Atlantis or even in space!

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos unlocks a universe in which there is a lot to discover - be it the ever-changing monster variants or the bizarrely beautiful landscapes. The cel-shaded look of the game is a feast for the eyes, the soundtrack skillfully emphasizes the sometimes threatening, sometimes almost idyllic atmosphere. However, iIt takes a bit of getting used to the fact that the world can't be explored completely freely, but rather guides us through circled areas.
