Top 25 Best Meta Quest 3 Games

It does all of this while being keenly aware of intelligent VR design. Everything in the game is designed to work optimally and intuitively in a VR headset. Even if you’re not a fan of the city simulator genre, Little Cities is visually stunning and charming enough for anyone to enjoy. As you would expect, the game has also receive several post-launch content updates, including the Attractions Update, Sandbox Update, Snowy Island DLC and recent Quest 3 visual enhancements as well.

12. Demeo Battles

The original Demeo is one of our favorite VR experiences (and it’s featured further down on this list) and Battles is the perfect extension, offering a standalone and alternative experience for those looking for something more competitive than co-operative.

Demeo is a co-op tabletop dungeon crawler with a wealth of campaigns for you and friends to work through, but Demeo Battles is an alternative player-vs-player version of the game that lets up to four players go head-to-head. You can join private lobbies or use online matchmaking to find games, with support for cross-platform play, mixed reality and hand tracking.

At release, there’s a series of solo ‘challenges’ to work through on your own, but don’t expect anything too in-depth – the progression system might leave you a little bit disappointed compared to games like Glassbreakers or Population: One. Much like Demeo, we’re looking forward to seeing what new content is added to Battles over time – for now, we know that a ranked mode is coming soon.

11. Puzzling Places

Puzzling Places has been one of favorite indie experiences available on Quest for a while now, but it plays better than ever on Quest 3.

The game uses photogrammetry data to present you with 3D puzzles based on real places. Split into pieces, you can group sections of the puzzle and reference tiles around your environment as you piece the 3D model back together, often accompanied by thematic ambient recordings and sound effects.

On Quest 3, you’re able to play Puzzling Places in mixed reality, which brings all the game’s elements into your real environment. Not only does it make for a natural and comfortable extension of the experience, but it’s just an obvious and solid evolution of an already fantastic concept. Technically, mixed reality is still an experimental feature, but once enable in the game’s setting menu, it’s unlikely you’ll want to turn it off.

10. Superhot

Superhot is one of the oldest games on this list. However, it’s still one of the best examples of how VR can enable entirely new gaming experiences. Originally adapted from a flatscreen game, time only moves when you do in this cinematic shooter – stay still and everything around you will remain frozen too. The second you move your body, everything jolts back to life.

It features accessible design and a slickness that’s rare to find in VR – from last-minute gun grabs to well-placed knife throws, there’s so much satisfaction in working through Superhot’s levels.

9. Cubism

Cubism is an understated but absolutely stunning VR puzzle game – and one that’s deceptively simple. Each level features a 3D wireframe shape into which you have to fit different Tetris-like block pieces. The puzzles get harder and the pieces more complex – it’s a slow and measured puzzle experience.

While it may not be as flashy as some of the other titles on this list, Cubism is an experience that is perfectly designed for the current capabilities of Quest hardware. The minimalist design, reserved soundtrack and its simple nature all come together to create a fantastic and polished end product. It’s is also regularly updated with support for the latest cutting edge VR features – its post-launch updates include support for mixed reality, hand tracking and 120Hz.

Similar to Puzzling Places, the mixed reality mode is a game-changer for Cubism on Quest 3, easily making it one of the best mixed reality experiences available on the headset right now.

8. Resident Evil 4 VR

We had doubts that bringing a classic flatscreen title like Resident Evil 4 to VR would work. However, it not only survived the transition, but ended becoming one of the best games available on the Quest platform. This is the full campaign, ported into immersive first-person VR with motion control support.

There are some elements, like the use of virtual cutscenes, that are less than ideal, but the overall gameplay experience more than makes up for it. Fighting off hordes of enemies as Leon Kennedy is a thrilling experience and a wonderful way to revisit a classic.

7. Dungeons of Eternity

If you’re looking for a fantasy action RPG that you can play with a group of friends, Dungeons of Eternity is the obvious pick. This first-person immersive experience feels significantly polished across all Quest headsets, allowing you and your friends to explore a variety of hack-n-slash combat options while clearing rooms in true “dungeon crawler” style.

Dungeons of Eternity caters to many styles of play, pairing a rewarding progression system with endless randomly generated dungeons. For an immersive first-person dungeon crawler, there’s no better pick.

6. Arizona Sunshine 2

Arizona Sunshine 2 is a fantastic VR campaign featuring pitch perfect writing, acting, pacing and outstanding action. It’s everything you hope for in a sequel, taking everything that worked in the original and refining it to near-perfection. This time, you’ll be joined on your adventure by canine companion Buddy, who you’ll use for crowd control during intense action sequences and develop a relationship with across the course of the campaign.

This follow up to one of VR’s seminal early hits reanimates the zombie genre and brings with it some of the most engaging and accessible arcade violence we’ve seen in VR. Plus, the entire campaign is playable in two-player co-op, just like the first game. Whether you’re looking to dismember some zombies alone or with friends, Arizona Sunshine 2 is a great pick.

5. Eye of the Temple

Eye of the Temple is one of the best examples of a game designed from the ground-up for VR – the end result is a triumphant room-scale platformer on Quest.

In this Indiana Jones-inspired adventure, you’ll begin outside a large temple with a whip in one hand and torch in the other. Work your way deeper into the temple by completing puzzles and navigating platforming obstacles along the way.

The genius part of Eye of the Temple is how it handles movement – this is a true room-scale VR platformer, so almost all movement is real, physical movement around your play space. Some clever design tricks ensure you never have to worry about walking out of your play space or into your guardian (which also makes it a great experience for those who are starting out with VR).

Be warned though: you’ll need a decent amount of space – Eye of the Temple requires a minimum play area of at least 2m x 2m.

4. Walkabout Mini Golf

Mini golf is actually something that could and should work quite well in VR. Walkabout Mini Golf is all the proof you need; it’s an accurate representation of the game that goes beyond what’s possible in real life whilst also remaining authentic throughout.

This ticks all the boxes – plenty of courses, extensive multiplayer support, different themes for each level and, above all, pinpoint physics that are arguably better than the real thing because there’s none of the small snags you’d find on the surface of physical courses. Hard to fault! Plus, the game receives ongoing support from developers Mighty Coconut, with regular free and paid DLC courses added over time.

3. Pistol Whip

Pistol Whip was once the new kid on the block, but continual updates and new content has cemented the game as one of the best, most stylish arcade rhythm games around. Its sharpshooting, sharp sounding, beat-based gameplay proves even more hypnotic than Beat Saber and in our 2023 review update, we proclaimed Pistol Whip is now better than ever.

In this neon-lit shooter, you stream down corridors, blasting bad guys to grizzly tunes, avoiding incoming fire and trying to rack up the best scores by firing on-beat. Whereas Beat Saber wants to make you a dancing Jedi master, Pistol Whip aims to teach you John Wick-esque gun-fu with style, elegantly fusing the rhythmic and cinematic together into a pulsating, vibrant monster of its own.

Since launch, Cloudhead Games have continually supported Pistol Whip with more content, new features and extra tracks, making it one of the most entertaining and comprehensive arcade titles available on Quest.

2. Assassin’s Creed Nexus

There was a lot of understandable doubt about whether the Assassin’s Creed franchise could survive the transition to VR and come out better on the other end. However, Nexus proves that Assassin’s Creed can absolutely work in VR and manages to stand proud with the main series.

It present players with a 20-hour campaign that leaves you wanting more, demonstrating what a fully-fledged VR entry can do for a big franchise. Adapting the stealth, parkour and combat of the series into a new immersive format works wonders – Nexus is the most fun we’ve had with the Assassin’s Creed franchise yet.

1. Demeo

Demeo isn’t a perfect tabletop game by any means. But it is a really good one and, more importantly, its first-rate four-player multiplayer VR experience makes it feel like a genuine social event in a way that no flatscreen game – and even few VR games – have ever really matched.

You pick a class and tackle randomly generated dungeons, but the game’s punishing difficulty means sessions can last anywhere from a few minutes to multiple hours. Demeo instantly cemented itself at launch as one of the best games on the Quest platform, but since then it’s only got better with more content. Free updates from Resolution Games have given players all new campaigns to play through, such as Reign of Madness, Curse of the Serpent Lord and more. Plus, mixed reality support on Quest 3 is one of the best ways to play the game – especially when combined with controller-free hand tracking and colocation for local multiplayer.

Demeo is a must-have for any Quest 3 owner.
