Most wanted PCVR games in 2022 - and 2022 is looking awesome!

The potentially most interesting VR game next year might already be arriving in January - namely the AAA game Hitman 3 (jump to 1:20):

The next most interesting VR game - or maybe even the best - may be Hubris - it already looks incredibly awesome:

If I had to guess, then the third most interesting game in 2022 could be Wanderer - but I like adventure games a lot:

- also Green Hell VR is looking great:

Then again, Firmament from Cyan (the makers of Obduction VR and Myst PCVR) looks incredibly awesome too:

For those wanting more action, Vertigo 2 seems to have reached a very high quality level judging from the latest trailer:

Another gem probably arriving next year is Moss: Book 2:

For now Moss: Book II has only been announced for PSVR, but the same happened in 2018, when Moss launched for PSVR in Feb 2018 and 4 months later for PCVR with high-res textures and more (that was June 2018). Let's hope that we'll get the real VR Moss 2 version no later than Summer 2022 🤞

 

Potential hits

There are many more great PCVR games arriving next year, although some seem to have trouble getting done, or have failed to impress me enough in the trailers and more. Still I hope we'll also see District Steel in 2022:

 

 

- and hopefully Undead Citadel:

 

 

- I have my doubts when we'll see N1NE: The Splintered, but it also should arrive early next year:

 

 

I do have high hopes for Project 4 (next game by the makers for Boneworks), Blunt Force, Low-Fi and LONN.

 

So looking forward to another awesome year for PCVR, even if this year with the games shown here may be close to the best year ever for PCVR:

Btw, I may have missed several awesome PCVR games arriving in 2022, do write a post if you've found some needing to be on the list of greatest upcoming PCVR games in 2022!

- And Moss 2 just arrived for PC! Extremely awesome - I made a special thread for the game here:

 

https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/VR-Experiences/Moss-Book-2-just-launched-on-Steam-reviews-and-impress...

 

The game looks much better on PC with enhancements for lighting, textures and probably some assets have higher polygon count, but polygon count seems only mildly improved.

 

Interesting if Hubris and Vertigo 2, like Moss 2, will make it this year - I have high hopes for Hubris, but not for Vertigo 2. Also have low hopes for Undead Citadel and District Steel (but these projects are alive), might first see those games next year. Firmament may be delayed due to being ported to PS5/PSVR2.

So Hubris arrives Dec 7 2022, but Firmament was the one getting away - launch date now Q1 2023:

Note that Hellsweeper has moved to early 2023. Does make sense with LONN, Hubris and Saints & Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution arriving.

Paranormal Hunter got delayed, but launched today. Trailer looks fine, but reviews do not look good. I'll await more reviews:

The game is only 10 bucks on Steam, but it's early access, and Steam does not like if I refund too much. I'm getting warnings, lol - but it seems Steam fails to notice that I keep more than I refund. So even if it's just 10 bucks, I have to be careful 😉 I insist on being able to refund games I do not like.

Yikes, I saw some of the reviews and it looks like people have an issue with it being clunky. It's early access so it's bound to have issues. I wish they would show more gameplay, the one ghost you see doesn't really seem intimidating.

In the time of your life, live - so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.

P.S., I can beat you at One Piece TCG and Black Desert Online.
