I generally try to avoid scary games, but the scariest one I've played tbh has been Red Matter on oculus quest 2. There's nothing overtly scary about it, but it has a damn creepy vibe to it.

The first one or the second one. I’ve played both. Never found it scary but is definitely mysterious. It feels like your a detective. The main character in the second one being voiced kinda sucked but I think the second one is much better in all ways. I did get that vibe that it could’ve easily been a horror game. Like they could’ve had the fungus plant turn the other astronauts into zombies or something.

I've only played the first one. I've been kinda hesitating to get the second one since I heard there's some shooter mechanics and I feel like it might be a bit too much for me. I could hardly stomach the first one, even though it was a fantastic game.

You mean like from a motion sickness standpoint?

No I mean in terms of how scary it is haha. The first one was already to the point where I had to be reassured that nothing was gonna jump at me lol. Hearing there's action and possibly being able to die and such in the second one I think that would be too much for me.

Though, I definitely did get a bit motion sickness with the default movement option...

Yah the movement sucked in Red Matter 1. I got motion sick and I usually don’t. Red Matter 2 isn’t even close to horror. There are attack drones that you have to shoot at but it’s in the second half of the game and they are more annoying than scary. Overall Red Matter two is a way better in story, movement, physics, puzzles, and graphics. Everything is better actually. I would check it out. It’s the most immersive VR game I’ve ever played. It looks almost like real life. I would just play through Red Matter 1 to get the story and search for all the lore. It will help better understand Red Matter 2.

I see. I'll have to check it out then. Red matter 1 is easily one of my favorite vr games even though I was a bit uneasy with it. It's good to hear a lot of the stuff I liked about the first one got even better.

Red matter 1 and 2 are games that I think are a must play for any VR owner. Red Matter 2 really set the bar for graphics of a standalone quest 2 games.
