I have never been the biggest supporter of VR. While very exciting, I have always been of the opinion that it was largely a gimmick and it didn’t deserve all the hype it was getting. So, when I first put on the Meta Quest 2, I did not expect much. I had tried VR goggles before and basically expected that, after a few fun minutes playing a game, I would be done and ready to move on to something else. Oh, how wrong I was. While nearly all of the more traditional aspects of VR (virtual reality) were more impressive than I could possibly imagine, what sets the device apart is its evolution into a total entertainment system.
Right off the bat, the graphics and the level of immersion are second to none. Even the basic homepage environment that you can choose is so mindblowing that I spent several minutes just sitting in it looking around before even exploring the rest of what the Meta Quest 2 had to offer. All of the games are truly wonderful with Beat Saber living up to all the hype without question. Being able to move that freely while the music plays and the block come at you is genuinely so exciting I forgot how heavy I was breathing by the end.
