🎮Virtual Reality
I own a Oculus Quest 2 headset which I use regularly to play BeatSaber and other VR games.
I do get affected by motion sickness in VR games where a lot of joystick movement is required so I mostly enjoy playing games that are room-scale or have good motion-sickness suppressing movement strategies implemented. A game with excellent movement is for example "Until you fall".
You can find my rank playing custom songs on ScoreSaber.
Favourite PC VR Games
Half-Life Alyx: The best VR game out at the moment. Interesting story-based shooter with great graphics, physics, puzzles and everything that makes a AAA game. Supports room-scale, played it standing.
Lone Echo: This game made me feel like I'm actually in space. Great graphics, cool story that starts out a bit slow but gets really exciting by the end, almost perfect simulation of manoeuvring in space. Supports room-scale, but played it sitting because you use your hands to move around mostly anyway.
Great games for the Oculus Quest
BeatSaber: Probably my favourite game of all time and the "killer-app" of VR.
Until you fall: Enjoyable hack & slash rogue-lite game.
FitXR: A great virtual workout. Although less fun then BeatSaber it still gets me moving when I don't want to leave the building for a workout.
In death unchained: Archery rogue-lite game set in a version of heaven & purgatory. Has excellent replay value and fairly good movement controls.
BeatSaber
PCVR
Downgrade BeatSaber Version on Oculus Store: Needed when a new version is released and the mods aren't updated yet. It's also a good idea to disable auto-updates in the Oculus Store App.
Mod Manager for PCVR: One stop shop for all modding needs: custom songs, score saber, custom song support for multiplayer, playlist manager etc.
Prevent Steam from auto-updating BeatSaber: Since I have the oculus version I don't need this, but it might be helpful to some.
Oculus Quest (Standalone)
BSaber - Source for custom songs: To get good songs it's best to sort them by "Top" and go through the list by rating.
Playlist Editor Pro: Windows application to organise playlists and more importantly allows for fast-switching between the modded version of BeatSaber and the retail version. This is important because the modded version can't connect to the official BeatSaber servers for multiplayer & highscores. Since I'm a mac user I run this application in a Parallels Windows VM occasionally.
Where to get custom songs
BSaber: Best site to download & install custom songs. If you're using the Mod Manager for PCVR you can one-click install songs directly to BeatSaber. If you play on a modded Quest version it's best to download the songs normally and then upload them all at once into the web interface of BMBF.
There's also a lot of low quality / weird maps on BSaber so it's best to always sort them by "TOP" to get the highest upvoted songs first. If you're just getting started go through the All-time top songs first, there's a ton of good ones.
Ranked songs: Scoresaber will only give you points for playing ranked songs. Generally these are maps that have a high quality and have been reviewed and ranked by difficulty. To find ranked songs you can check the "ranked" box on BSaber.
