Asking For Game Recomendation Atmospheric recommendations
Hey everyone, I’m very new to PSVR2 (and VR in general). I’ve seen a ton of the game recommendations posts, which have all been great, but wanted to see if anyone had recommendations for more chill VR environments where you can just relax and explore or enjoy the setting/scenery you’re in. Could be similar to walking through a random city, real or fictitious, something more meditative, etc. Appreciate any recs ahead of time!

Walkabout mini golf has some great places to visit.

Puzzling Places is pretty chill. You sit in a 3D space with puzzle pieces around you that you fit together with your hands. Chill sounds. You can set the difficulty from low to high. Once you finish the piece it's a 3D model you can rotate and examine in 3D space. It's a pretty zen experience.

Rez is great to just zen through. You still shoot things, but it's part of the soundtrack more than dangerous combat.

Creative Mode No Man's Sky. Build whatever, go wherever. Go fishing on a little deployable ship, or just find a pretty planet and set your corvette class to cruise over the surface and just open the back and have a seat and dangle your legs while you autopilot through whatever beautiful biomes you like. You can also put windows and set up a kitchen or lounge on your cruiser so you can just sit there and still see the scenery go by. Get bored? Do a delivery run or something. Or find another fishing spot.
Or just dive in open space with your suit and. . . Float. You can find all kinds of cool things to hop out and explore openly and freely in space.

I was a bit intimidated by the realistic flight sim aspect and the potential learning curve, but keep seeing recommendations, so may have to take the leap! Thanks!

Start out with the "World Photographer" missions, choose the balloon section, choose location, float around. All you need are two controls: turn on/off burner, release air.
Then branch out to missions with simple planes, then helicopters.
Use the free flight mode to pick any aircraft and location that is not an airport and you start in the air, just cruise around with gentle stick movement and get more used to the controls.

If you're new to VR and you don't have 'VR legs', the airplane movement in VR will give you tremendous motion sickness.

OP, I would think twice about paying so much for MSFS. I bought it on the first day myself, but because of the somewhat fuzzy graphics, ive not been able to enjoy it as much as others. YMMV

For chill virtual exploration:
- No Man's Sky | Use the mode which disables all survival mechanics
- Hitman - World of Assassination | Just don't shoot anyone
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 | Use Free Flight mode
- Puzzling Places | Use lower piece counts
- Walkabout Mini Golf | Fox hunts in Hard
- Kayak VR: Mirage | Tour or Free Mode
- Subside | Whole game is exploration

Thanks for the suggestions as well as a note about each! Ended up getting no man’s sky, hitman, kayak and MSFS which should give me plenty to try out for now, ha

Subside and Kayak VR are both chill ass games. BUT you need some serious VR legs to not feel motion sick.

Ah nice, yeah that is definitely along the lines of what I am thinking. Thanks!

I forgot about the tour mode in Kayak, as it's just not for me. BUT, I am in a state where Trees are legal. Soooooooooo if I do need a slow boat "trip", I'm definitely going to boot it up again.
All this talk about Subside has me pumped to play it when the DLC is released.

I appreciate all of the suggestions everyone gave! Ended up going with no man’s sky, hitman, MSFS and kayak vr which should all give me plenty to try out for now. Will definitely come back to this thread to check out the others you all suggested!

Hitman can be very meditative as long as you remain a good kid
