More like Beast Saber
Beat Saber is one of those games that's conceptually simple yet perfectly executed, and it's a combination that's resulted in widespread popularity among virtual reality players.

Hands On Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown in PSVR Passes with Flying Colours
More please
For some, a huge part of the appeal for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is its additional PlayStation VR mode.

Move, move, move
Firewall Zero Hour is a well liked tactical shooter for PSVR, but somewhat suffers from a relatively low number of players.
