This monster slayer is created by Skydance Games, whose parent company produces the Mission: Impossible franchise and many other box office hits. In Behemoth, a curse has been bestowed on your village, causing people's skin to deteriorate and inducing bloodlust in those afflicted. You must survive the Forsaken Lands and eventually battle literal Behemoths, the source of the curse. From punching enemies' heads off to slicing bodies in half, the combat action won't disappoint.
Alien: Rogue Incursion

With H.R. Giger's iconic Xenomorph designs and Ridley Scott's signature chilling atmosphere, you're guaranteed a sci-fi horror masterpiece. If you've played previous editions, like Alien: Isolation, you know just how scary this series can be. But how can you make it even more terrifying? Oh, by wearing a VR headset and experiencing a face-hugger flying toward you in first person. You'll definitely want to go immersive for Alien: Rogue Incursion!
Arken Age

Arken Age is a VR action-adventure set in the Bio-Chasm—a terraformed fantasy world created by the Grand Arborist. The game world is one big, twisted science experiment filled with luscious natural landscapes and fantasy-like architecture inhabited by strange robotics and organic alien life forms. Get ready to be riveted by stunning graphics and gripping challenges.
Pools

If you're a fan of The Backrooms, you'll want to give Pools a whirl. In this walking simulator, you wander empty liminal spaces that are at times beautiful but at all times eerie. While you're not fighting enemies or running from monsters, Pools taps into more psychological fears, such as getting lost or simply the dark. You'll squeeze into small spaces that seemingly lead to nowhere and fall into swimming pools that end up being far deeper and darker than you expected. This game undoubtedly should be experienced in VR.
Memoreum

Releasing in 2025, Memoreum is a sci-fi horror FPS (first-person shooter) by Patient 8 games, the team behind the highly elaborate and popular Half-Life: Alyx mod—Return to Rapture. You play as Dr. Hudson. Earth is dying, and you're being sent on a colony spaceship to find a new home until… of course… something goes wrong. Unlike your typical FPS, Memoreum is narrative-driven and places heavy emphasis on its story. So, as you fight your way through action-packed situations, you'll also be unraveling the mystery behind why everything has gone to hell.
Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone
(Source: Steam)
Here's another PC VR title developed from a Half-Life: Alyx mod. This mod was so popular that the developer ANB_Seth, with the help of publisher 2080 Games, began to work on this standalone version. Have you dreamed of being John Wick? Here's as close as you'll ever get. In Gunman Contracts, you're a hitman taking down big-time underground criminals via smooth control mechanics and realistic gunplay.
