This list of the 10 best VR stealth games definitely isn’t free of those issues, but they’re all encouraging signs developers are getting closer to nailing the perfect experience.

We expect to see this configuration a lot as time goes on as this appears to be the sweet spot gamers are looking for –– super high resolution combined with an equally high refresh rate (number of times a screen shows a new image every second). Throw in a 3-millisecond response rate (the time it takes the panel to switch from one color to another) and you’re in for beautiful vistas and silky smooth image rendering, the latter of which can lead to more accurate shots when playing shooters.

It doesn’t help that even on the Rift S running off a GeForce RTX 2080 with the settings maxed out, Phantom doesn’t look fantastic. Texture resolution gets obviously low when you get close to a wall or have to throw switches, and soldier animations are barebones.

The tradeoff is that you can play on the modestly powered Oculus Quest, so it’s not all bad. Another performance enhancement comes by way of the Resizable Bar.

That doesn’t leave a lot of room for creativity in the design, especially since everything has to be accessible without the use of your legs. Some areas are even reused for multiple missions.

Jurassic World is definitely on the short side (a second part is still to come later down the line), but what’s already here works really well. Remember the classic kitchen scene from the original Jurassic Park?

It’s kind of odd that, for most of Phantom’s seven missions, you’re armed to the teeth: a silenced pistol, an assault rifle, and sometimes a silenced sniper rifle and another fun toy or two are strapped to your body and boat, and you’ll often have explosives you can toss. Usually I had more ammunition than I could carry, which was confusing because this is a game about avoiding firefights. You’re actually penalized for unnecessary kills.
