Consider this your Oculus Rift starter kit.
There’s a lot going on in the Oculus Store, which is the primary place you get games for your Rift headset. Titles range wildly when it comes to price and description, due in no small part to Oculus pulling content that was originally made for the Samsung Gear VR into the store so you can experience it in a higher resolution. It’s a lot to take in, and that’s only going to get more interesting when you start playing games for your Oculus Rift that come from Steam instead of the Oculus Store.
To help you get started with your Oculus Rift, we’ve put together a quick list of titles everyone should have in their library in order to fully appreciate this incredible VR experience.
Ready, go!
Project CARS, for all racing fans

Virtual Reality has created an incredible space for First Person Experiences, or FPX for short. These games create an environment where you experience a story happening all around you. These games are often powerfully emotional without being overly action-packed or requiring an itchy trigger finger.
Adr1ft puts you in a space suit as you float silently through a space station that has just failed catastrophically, and through your Oculus Rift that experience can be downright terrifying if you let it. See at Green Man Gaming
Minecraft, for everyone who loves to build

Rarely do you hear the words “achieved with CRYENGINE” and walk away disappointed. With games like FarCry, MechWarrior Online, Crysis, and Ryse: Son of Rome all having been built with the CRYENGINE platform, seeing that brand usually means you’re in for a visual treat. In The Climb, you may not walk away at all. The game is built to make you feel as though you’re climbing massive rock formations. As you look around with your Rift, the environments you’re climbing in are intoxicating and — if you’re afraid of heights — terrifying. You can race your climb against friends if you need co-op in your list, but clearly the goal here is to solve some cool puzzles and enjoy the remarkable scenery.
Bonus points: this game is even more incredible when played with Oculus Touch controllers! See at Oculus
Arizona Sunshine, for endless zombie violence
