Beat Saber is the perfect example how games can profit hugely from VR.

Overall      ★★★★★★★★★☆ - 9/10
Music        ★★★★★★★★★★ - 10/10
Graphics   ★★★★★★★★☆☆ - 8/10
Gameplay ★★★★★★★★★★ - 10/10
Story         ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ - n/a

Difficulty  ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (fair difficulties for anyone, difficult if you go for th achievements)

Beat Saber is a music-rythm-game and does not have a story at all. It is a VR only title and it is necessary to have VR controllers to play it. It is suitable for anyone and does provide a lot of fun to play solo, party or online challenge mode. On higher difficulties it can be a fitness workout and a great way to do some interesting ways of sports in a time you cannot due to lockdowns.

Hit and slice blocks with one or two beat sabers to awesome musis? Thanks to the 3D-VR immersion I quickly felt like a Jedi Knight cutting through hundreds of enemies, only much better - Yoda would have been proud of me ;)

Only downside I found yet: the bonus music packs are too expensive.

Conclusion: a must have if you own a HMD with controllers. I cannot imagine a music-rythm-game can get any better at this point.
