Virtual reality stopped being a thing of the future a long time ago. Today, with devices like Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 , immersing yourself in digital worlds so lifelike they make you sweat is an experience within reach of many. But having a VR headset without knowing what to play is like having a console without any games: a wasted opportunity.
