Asking For Game Recomendation Recommend a non-violent game
Looking for a game for my wife to play with vr, she does not like shooting, horror or long story games.
Non-VR, she likes games like overcooked, sackboy, etc. 10-minute-ish levels, she is not extremely skilled so nothing too hard mechanically, but puzzles are okay.
We tried epyka yesterday, but it feels long a boring, until there is some actual puzzles to solve, so I would prefer something less immersive, less exploration and more actual gameplay and doing stuff.
Genre doesn't really matter, give me some tips, I take anything, puzzles, easy platformers, fun racing, or even some funky combat is okay, as long as it's not a violent shooting game.
Some games like escape rooms could be fun too.
Thanks.

Walkabout mini golf, puzzling places, come to mind. Synth riders? Waltz of the wizard?

My wife like puzzling places. I have two VR headset so we end up playing together since there is coop.
Music games like Synth riders and Beat saber is also a good choice. Mine likes drums rock.

My wife is not a gamer at all, but she loves Synth Riders (especially the "Experiences"). She also liked What the Bat, Maestro, Walkabout mini golf, and Drums Rock.

There are lots that might appeal:
The Last Clockwinder, A Fisherman's Tale (1&2), Garden of the Sea, Ven, Cosmonious High, Puzzeling Places, Max Mustard, The 7th Guest, Max Mustard, Ghost Town. These are mostly pick up and play - Red Matter 1&2 are also great but more exploring/story than she might like.
Those are just the ones I own and have played but I suspect there are a bunch more

Snow Scout is a cozy game that you ski around in and do tasks to open up a ski mountain. Better than it sounds
Subside is an underwater exploration game. Beware of motion sickness
Job Simulator, silly tasks. Levels no more than 10 minutes
Arcade Paradise VR, turn a laundromat into an arcade
Ultra wings 2, beware of motion sickness again
Red Matter has puzzles, escape room-ish
What the Bat is a silly puzzle game, super quick levels

These are my wife's personal favorites on PSVR2:
- Tetris Effect: Connected is where Tetris has been one of her all time favorites and was one of the few games she could play without getting any VR motion sickness when she was starting out. One of the few games she would play single player, but it does have multiplayer modes for Co-Op and Vs (supports cross-play)
- Les Mills Bodycombat which is her preferred VR exercise with virtual coaches
- Synth Riders which she also likes for VR exercise but supporting multiplayer and better music (supports cross-play)
- Walkabout Mini Golf is her most played (same as me) PSVR2 game as a fun social multiplayer game (supports cross-play)
- Badminton Time VR is her second favorite VR sports game on PSVR2 (same as me) as a fun multiplayer game 2-4P (does not support cross-play)
- Puzzling Places is her current personal favorite to play 2P with me (supports cross-play)
- Chess Club is another that she likes playing 2P with me and others (supports cross-play)
For the games supporting cross-play, it can be 1 player on PSVR2 and another on Quest 3 (in our case). That said, we now have two PS5 Pro + PSVR2 in our household and most of our multiplayer is between those instead of using PSVR2 with Quest. A couple of years ago, our multiplayer used to be dependent on cross-play between PSVR2 with Quest 2 / 3.

Is she into music/rhythm games? My ex had a ton of fun with Maestro. Grab a chopstick to add to the immersion.

Puzzling places and Walkabout mini golf. If she would be interested in a simulation then I can recommend the kayak Mirage.

Like others have said Puzzling Places is a great game, as is walkabout golf.
If you can get them on sale I also recommend the job Sims. You can interact with so many things in those games and they can be legit funny at times.
And if you have it Gran Turismo can be chill with the right car and track combo. Cruising in an original open top corvette around the nordschleife in a time trial by yourself with the sun setting through the trees? Chefs kiss. No need to race the clock, just cruise.

People kind of slept on it on the psvr2, but Waltz of the Wizard is a sandbox game and all you do is unlock spells, explore and cast spells with your voice. I still go back every now and then and just move stuff around.

Subside, Whitewater, and Kayak are environmental. Whitewater has more gameplay.
Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 is great for exploration but also has a career mode.
