1.Introduction 

I've seen a lot of questions on this forum regarding VR Games, trophies, peripherals, playtime and quality of games. To answer most of those questions, a central topic regarding games and their information could be a useful addition. I'm a proud owner of the PSVR, of course I didn't play all games. So if you have any information you would like to add, let me know and i will add it!
 

2.PSVR Starter Tips

The Virtual Reality can be a strange thing, the technology is new to the most of us. Cause of this you will most likely get used to the effect of the VR glasses. 
I recommend you to start playing for ~30 minutes and take a break in between, perhaps you can switch with a friend. After those 30 minutes, you will came to notice that you will feel a little dizzy. This is (for the most people) normal. When you get more acquainted with your PSVR, you will be able to play for a longer period of time.

Most PSVR games are expensive and have rather short game play. This is mostly because its relative new and developers are trying things out. If you really love a game, just buy it and support the company. otherwise I would advise to wait for a sale. For a complete list of VR Games and their ranking please click here.The games that are the best to start with are:

Is this only PSVR required games?  Because if not, Resident Evil 7 needs to be here (it supports VR but isn't required).  Easily one of, if not the, best horror game you can play on PSVR.  Looks good, plays great and it's the full length game.

 

Skyrim VR for the same reasons. :)  Though it is PSVR required.

I feel like Sony should give more PS VR games for free on PS Plus to drive that install base up, if you have 10-15 VR games around you’re more likely to get a headset than having none or under than 5. Since you’ll want to play those games at some point.

I Added Skyrim and RE7. 
I really hate it that Skyrim vr is not accessible trough the regular game... Just like Borderlands 2 VR, which will require you to buy it again...

Yhea, there have been a few, but mainly rather odd games and developed by Sony themselves. 
The VR games are always an added "bonus" . A full game within the giveaway would be nice indeed! Something simple like job simulator or Batman would been a good starter don't you think?

I think they should stop giving PS3 and PS Vita games and start giving great PS VR and PS4, imagine getting Bloodborne/Ratchet and Clank caliber months every month on PS4 while getting a good PS VR game monthly? Something like Batman: Arkham VR or Firewall: Zero Hour (to boost the playerbase when it drops later in the future)! That would be sweet.

This could really turn into something. Thank you Knoef for the effort! I’ll help out with the list, but first...

Instead of a top 10 shouldn’t we just make a full list of all psvrgames. 

Also, i would advice to drop the game ratings unless they come from a source that you can link.

metacritic already has a list like this. https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/ps4/filtered?sort=desc&hardware=psvr

i think our strength would be to focus on trophy information. After all, we are a trophy website.

So for example I would recommend something like this. 100% Difficulty and duration. 

  1. Astro Bot Rescue Mission - Platformer - 3/10. 20 hrs
  2. Firewall Zero Hour - Shooter - 7/10. 150 hrs
  3. Moss - Platformer - etc.
  4. The Persistence - Shooter / Survival - etc.
  5. Farpoint - Shooter - 9/10. 30 hrs
  6. Skyrim VR - RPG - 5/10. 120 hrs
  7. Resident Evil 7 - Horror / Survival - etc
  8. Until dawn: Rush of Blood - Shooter / Horror - 8/10. 15 hrs
  9. The Playroom VR - Party - etc
  10. Headmaster - Sports - etc.

We would get the info from trophy guides on this website or other websites or own experience. (In that order)

 

Last thing. If we’re going to add pictures in the list like you did, i would recommend to let all text stick to the left instead of the center. It’s a bit of a mess now.

Hey!
Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the ratings. 
The main target here is to provide info about the PSVR games, its not only based on trophies.
But, your point that it is a trophy website is legit, so ill add some more info about the trophies. Only problem is that most VR games don't really have trohpy guides, so that will be hard.

Added more info regarding trophies.
It links towards the trophy guides. Amount of hours to complete it 100% added.
Also I added a tabel regarding the top 15 easiest games to get a 100%/plat trophy. 

I could use some more input regarding games you played/liked the most!! Help me out

I would add Job Simulator as part of the starter kit as it is easy and does not give you motion sickness. Great first game.

 

As for other games worth adding:

 

Rigs: MCL could be added under shooter/sports? It's set up like a sports game. I find it feels more like a sports game because it has American football and Powerball (basketball?) even though it has a lot of shooting aspects to it. It's in my top 5 VR games atm. It uses a D4 instead of the move controllers, but it feels like you're piloting a mech which is an amazing experience.

 

As for those who liked Superhot VR, Raw Data is a good game to grab. The move controls are a little clunky at times, but nothing is more satisfying than swinging around a saber katana or getting a headshot with a bow. Absolutely amazing.

 

Lastly, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a good start up game as well if you have 2 people. It was my first VR game and wouldn't choose another game to be my first experience on VR. No motion sickness and is thrilling at times especially when you are with a big group of friends. 

 

If I had a top 5 right now, it would probably be....

 

1. Superhot VR

2. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

3. Rigs: MCL

4. Raw Data

5. Job Simulator
