Tested on Oculus Quest 2 with three popular games
The Main Problems in VR
Menus are hard to use: You need a laser pointer to pick tools (like "flick mode"), which slows you down.
Depth is tricky: Objects look smaller or bigger than they should. Closing one eye sometimes helps.
Physics feel odd: Flicking discs or rolling balls often misses the target. Things might fly off the table or clip through it.
How Three Games Performed
| Game | What Worked | Biggest Problem | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crocodile | The board looks nice in 3D. | Flicking discs failed 90% of the time. | ★☆☆☆☆ |
| Mini Golf | Moving under the table helps aim. | Judging slopes and angles is hard. | ★★★☆☆ |
| Cube Quest | Using both hands to throw cubes works well. | No auto-reset for fallen cubes. | ★★★★☆ |
Good Things About VR
Body language matters: You can see players' head turns and hand moves, making chat-heavy games (like social deduction) feel more real.
Move freely: Walk around the table or look under it (helpful in golf).
Change backgrounds: Play in a virtual forest or by a fireplace for fun.
Tips for Better Play
Avoid flicking games: Pick card games or strategy games instead.
Use shortcuts: Press "R" to roll objects automatically (if the game allows it).
Fix errors: Turn off controller warnings in settings to stop pop-up distractions.
Play fair: Don't clip through the table in competitive games.
Final Advice
Best for: Slow games, talking-heavy games, or casual fun.
Worst for: Fast action games like Crocodile.
Try this: Cube Quest - throwing with both hands feels great in VR.
