    Stunt Kite Masters is actually pretty good... I mean there's not much to it, but you really do feel like you are flying a kite on a beach in Spain or something

    I know this because I often take my powerkite down to Tarifa which I couldn't do this year :(

    Path of the Warrior is on sale for €13.99 on the Quest store.

    https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2032870023439846/

    It's cross buy so that if you buy it on the quest store you get the rift version free when you search for it on the rift store after buying it on the quest store. You do not need a quest to buy it.

    It's like jumping into the world of streets of rage or double dragon in VR!

    Sega Mega Drive classics with 90% off.

    Fully VR playable .. well, at least it's like you're back in your bedroom playing the console again

    https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/13945/SEGA_Mega_Drive_and_Genesis_Classics/

    Comes up as €7 for me as I think I got a few freebies over the years

    Have you ever tried EmuVR MrCheez?

    Basically play emulators of your favourite retro consoles in a virtual bedroom in VR with proper CRT monitors that have that old fashioned scanline look. It's free too.

    That looks cool, actually fairly similar to the Megadrive Classics environment.

    I have New Retro Arcade Neon on SteamVR which is probably my favourite way to play Mame and arcade games like that, but I'll give EmuVR a shot!

    I was so sure I had at least some of those, but I guess I have them on Oculus Store instead... or PSVR :D

    This is superb, particularly seeing as I was on the verge of dropping €40 on Saints and Sinners any day now

    Zero Calibre is absolutely epic.

    As a non quest owner , is that only for wireless , or does it not work natively with a long USBC cable?

    You can use either but at the moment the quality and performance is better with virtual desktop(provided you have a good connection). I found it to be too much faffing though myself so went back to using the cable.

    I prefer going wireless now, my long USBC cable (the "Link" cable) has been sitting in the cupboard gathering dust.

    This Realistic VR Bundle is nowhere near as good as the recent humble bundle , but it’s 63% off and includes Thief Simulator VR and Ultimate Fishing VR for €16.25

    https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/12654/Realistic_VR_Bundle/



    Thief Simulator looks like it could be great fun altogether, have had my eye on it since it’s development.


    Ultimate Fishing VR looks good too but seems to borrow a lot from Real Fishing VR.

    You can do ice fishing Eskimo style and deep sea fishing, can walk around environments or drive boats.

    Elite dangerous is free at the moment on the Epic store , probably one of the best seated VR games around
    (its a pity that the onfoot parts in the new expansion are going to be flat gaming only , but hey! at least the rest is VR)

    Seems they made it a bit awkward and we need to contact their support with proof of purchase... Hopefully they streamline it a bit next week

    Yeah I had a look at reddit and it sounds like too much effort to me at the mo, going by the comments.
