If it weren't so buggy, I'd absolutely use No Man's Sky; when it works, it's absolutely stunning in every way. Pulling my Multitool out from behind me and swinging it around in front of me in virtual space was one of my first real, "Holy crap, that's freaking awesome!" moments with VR.

Of course, there isn't actually a Quest native version of No Man's Sky -- you have to tether to play it. And tethering always carries a unique set of challenges based upon whatever mixture of hardware and software you're using on the PC... so pretty much any tethered game is likely as not to be a poor representation, in spite of the fact that the PC is going to be anywhere from two to ten times more powerful than the onboard capabilities of the Quest itself. It's actually a very frustrating trade-off.

It definitely has its moments, but it’s very hard to get into. There are a lot of menu systems and controls you have to grapple with and I found the PSVR2 version to be quite blurry and eye straining. Definitely a game that you can get really deep into though
