Staff Favourite Games

Here at Virtual Hideout we live and breathe Virtual Reality Gaming, and since February is the month of love, there’s no better time to show off the incredible VR games we hold dear - and introduce the amazing Game Hosts that play them!
Daisy - Pistol Whip
Ever wanted to be John Wick? This rhythm-based shooting game gives you the full pistol-wielding vigilante experience! With an incredible soundtrack and a variety of unique guns, it’s no wonder VH Manager Daisy favours this iconic VR game. On top of multiple fast-paced standalone levels, Pistol Whip features two amazing campaigns, 2089 and Smoke & Thunder, perfect for sci-fi fans and wild-west enthusiasts. But don’t be intimidated by all the bells and whistles - Pistol Whip tailors the experience to your ability with various difficulty levels and modifiers, making it perfect for first-timers and gaming veterans alike!
Hannah - Elven Assassin
Our Game Host, Hannah, is a big fan of this archery-based game, and with all its fantastic features it’s easy to see why! Elven Assassin is a fantasy multiplayer experience complete with beautiful scenery and not–so-beautiful monsters to defeat. Team up with a friend to defend your village from armies of orcs, giants, and dragons; or go player vs player in a game of archery tag, chasing each other around castles and towers, competing for the highest kill count! This game is a staple in our Double Headset sessions and a fantastic multiplayer experience for all ages and skill levels.
Lenny - SUPERHOT
Lenny, another Game Host here at VH, favours this particular game for its very unique concept. Fighting off hoards of enemies may be tricky, but in Superhot, you have time on your side. The slower you move, the slower time moves around you, and dodging bullets in slow-motion has never been more fun! Superhot makes you feel like you’re in the Matrix and gets you to utilise your whole space: you’ll need to lean, duck, and even crawl to avoid getting hit. You’ll feel super cool inside the headset, and your friends will get a good laugh watching you from the outside - it’s a win-win! If you’re into combat and strategy like Lenny, this game is for you!
Roz - Propagation
If you’re a fan of the horror genre, our Game Host Roz has a great pick for you! Propagation is a fast-paced zombie shooter with incredible graphics and terrifying enemies to defeat! Using either a pistol or a shotgun, you must fend off hoards of zombies, giant spiders, and eventually face a terrifying boss battle if you’re brave enough to reach the ending. While this game is fantastic in single-player mode, it’s definitely less daunting to play with a friend watching your back, and significantly less embarrassing if there’s two of you screaming instead of one!
Theo - Blade and Sorcery
Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong era? Do you yearn for the thrill of battle? Or have you just seen our VH Manager Theo throwing his arms around in the headset and you’re wondering what all the fuss is about? Blade and Sorcery is revered in the VR community, and for good reason! This medieval fantasy sandbox provides you with a selection of weapons and magic to devastate your enemies. Whether you fight as a mage, warrior, or ranger, this game will have you fighting like there’s no tomorrow, and as summarised by the game developers, “the combat is limited only by your own creativity”.
Tom - Cook Out
Who doesn’t love a good sandwich? Our Game Host Tom sure does, which is why they favour this food-themed VR game! Cook-Out gives you the full restaurant experience complete with adorable characters, a selection of different ingredients, and plenty of different levels at your disposal. Want to play something chill? Try Creative Mode and experiment with various sandwich combinations. Want to experience the trials and tribulations of being a chef? Try Progression Mode and fill out customer orders - just make sure you make them quick enough as patience seems to run thin in this game!
Ellie – Beat Saber
It’s a popular choice for all the right reasons. Our VH Manager Ellie loves Beat Saber for it’s reflective nostalgia of other rhythm games that came before it - Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution, for example. This fantastic music game requires some practice to reach the harder levels, but it is so satisfying when you get a full combo on your favourite song! With a variety of songs and difficulty options at your disposal, this game is perfect for all ages and skill levels. And who doesn’t love light sabers? We sure do!
With your new VR knowledge under your belt, go ahead and check these games out on Steam and support the amazing game developers! And if this list of incredible VR games has got you itching to grab a friend and a headset, consider booking a game with us!
