Best PC VR (High powered graphics card required):

Hardware:

For best quality and least latency use a 15ft USB-C cable: $15-$60 on amazon,

-higher priced ones are lighter/thinner

You can also use wireless, it’s recommended to have a dedicated access point for the Quest - latency and visuals are not as good as a cable, better for slower paced games.

Software:

Viveport: $9-13/month - The best way to try lots of games if you are new to PCVR. They also have tons of VR movie and film festival stuff.

Half-Life :Alyx: $30-60 - The best VR game there is. Once you’ve finished the main campaign there are 100’s of excellent custom maps.

Eye of the Temple: $18-20 or free demo: Indiana Jones style unique game with no artificial motion.

Maskmaker: $20 or viveport: Great adventure puzzle game, one the best I’ve ever played

Cross-buy: Many Quest games are cross-buy, so you get the PCVR version free. Typically the PCVR game will look much better - After the Fall is 30GB vs 3GB for the native quest version.
