Lists of killer apps and games by user ratings - for the Rift hmds and Quest 1 & 2 with Link

RuneSR2

To get an overview, here're lists of the highest rated games and apps for the Oculus Rift hmds and for Quest 1 & 2 with (Air)Link. If you're new to PC-VR, maybe these lists can be of inspiration - and maybe even old-timers can find stuff they've overlooked...  

To be included at least 40 users must have rated a game or an app, and the average user rating must be at least 4.5 stars out of 5 (= 90 % or better) - based on user ratings in the Oculus Rift Store (Steam games or apps are not included). Maybe we could call these lists for grade "A" games and apps - or simply current Rift killer games and apps  😉

And why the need for 40 user ratings? In the Oculus Rift Store there are many games and apps receiving high ratings, but to provide sound statistics it's not enough with just 3 user ratings - or 10 - or even 20. I've chosen 40 because it's close to the minimum number of individuals I'd want in a group, if I was trying to get some robust statistics after collecting answers to a questionnaire (for a medical trial and similar investigations). I've provided the current number of user ratings for each game or app, so if some readers only trust average ratings based on 100, 500 or even 1,000 user ratings, the lists will accommodate for such preferences. 

Note that these lists are not influenced by my preferences - I'm just the guy counting user ratings and associated average ratings  o:)
Also note that new awesome games or apps may not yet be on the lists due to an insufficient number of user ratings.

BTW, to make these lists I selected the Oculus Store category containing all games and apps, organized the items according to user ratings (highest ratings first) and then - one by one - checked the number of ratings and the average score. 

Finally we could also check which game or app (with an average user rating of at least 90 %) has the most votes in total - and the winner in each category is:

 

Rift game with the most ratings

I've been playing Dreadhalls again these last couple of days. Still shit scary lol 😄

Anyone that likes scary games that DOESN'T have this game MUST buy it. Along with Alien Isolation VR Mod it's the joint scariest VR game out there.

I can not believe that "pinball fx2 vr" is not mentioned on this thread. It is simply the best fun VR can offer and ratings on Steam are  very positive. Maybe the version on Oculus store has bad reviews or some other issues? Weird... my fav game - highly recommended.

Read the first post 😉 This thread is about games with an average rating of at least 90 % (=4.5/5) and 40+ ratings. Pinball FX2 VR has an average rating of 86 % (4.3/5) based on 429 ratings, so it doesn't fit the inclusion criteria 😉

Vader Immortal has in less than 2 days received more than 600 ratings, it now has an average rating of 92 % based on 679 ratings. That's probably the most ratings any Rift game or app has received in such a short time. Also is Vader Immortal a game? According the Oculus it's not - so Vader Immortal is not placed in the game category:

https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/section/1765071250375445

Instead Vader Immortal is placed in the Entertainment section:

https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/section/1059856557438644

And I tend to agree - Vader Immortal is more like an interactive movie and while you can do things, it's limited. Like you can do things in First Contact, but it's still not really a game. Thus I've added Vader Immortal to the app list on page 1, not the game list. 

Get Vader Immortal here:
