The excitement over mixed reality gaming on Meta Quest has certainly waned of late. The launch of Quest 3 (and Quest 3S) put the technology at the forefront of this generation, with some great MR games available. MR offers a new way to play and interact with your environment, and that’s certainly the case with 131XR’s latest review, Xploit.Zero.

Meditation apps have existed since the early days of the Meta Quest. Some have focused on tranquil, realistic surroundings, and others have tried a more ancient approach using techniques like Tai Chi. Then there are those like Tripp who seek to use mesmerising visuals and audio cues to relax or energise your brain. Brain Candy falls into the latter, and as 131XR finds in its review, delivers on that immersive promise.

Considering how the Meta Quest is a mobile device – it does run on a version of Android after all – it’s surprising how few mobile games have been ported to the headset. Lots of flat-screen console and PC titles have, but not mobile. Vortex 9, a multiplayer shooter, is one of the few to do this, with 131XR’s review finding a perfectly enjoyable title, even if it is targeted towards a younger demographic.

British VR developer nDreams is mainly known for serious, AAA-style games. Titles like the recently released Reach, Synapse, Fracked and Phantom: Covert Ops. However, the studio has taken a more light-hearted approach on the odd occasion with games like Fruit Ninja. Wreckin’ Raccoon is definitely in the latter camp, with 131XR finding a silly yet enjoyable game in its review.

When it comes to racing simulators for VR, PCVR is the place to be. Meta Quest does have a reasonable selection of native racing titles, but very few could be classed as simulators. Mixer Lab Games aims to change this with RACECLUB, and as our buddies at 131XR discover their review, there’s a good foundation; it just needs more.

Since it’s debut nearly a decade ago, Beat Saber has become synonymous with VR. It was arguably the first game to launch the Meta Quest (then known as the Oculus Quest) into the mainstream conversation, and since has been ported to many different VR formats. Of course, with that kind of success there was bound to be imitators. Beat Bat is the latest on the scene, and in 131XR’s review we discover just how close it comes to the crown.

When most of us encounter aquatic life in VR, it tends to involve fishing. Either as a mini game or as a full-blown simulator. Rarely (if ever) has it involved stepping into the watery scales of a half-man, half-fish hybrid. But that’s exactly what you get in Salmon Man. Our friends over at 131XR decided to review this bizarre platformer, finding that Salmon Man might be one of the most difficult VR games available for Meta Quest.

It’s quite common that when a game goes viral, what follows is an army of lesser impostors. Gorilla Tag is a perfect example of that, with tons of awful knock-offs on the Meta Quest store. Another game to catch players’ imaginations was A Game About Digging a Hole, a flatscreen title released in early 2025. As expected, others have followed suit. But as 131XR found with Mole a Hole, Wenkly Studio have shown the imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Games like Job Simulator were early pioneers in the VR industry, foregoing locomotion for highly interactive playspaces that are close at hand. Developer VR Factory Games has continued this methodology with titles like Zombie Bar Simulator and now, Freaky Lab VR. However, as our cohorts over at 131XR find in their Meta Quest review, Freaky Lab VR is silly and shallow.

Pirates VR: Jolly Roger sets sail as one of the more ambitious VR titles in recent memory, promising exploration, combat, and puzzles across a cursed Caribbean island. The single-player VR adventure delivers strong atmosphere and striking environments. But in 131XR’s Pirates VR: Jolly Roger review, we learn that it stops short of being a full-blown pirate epic.
