Check out some of the best free games for the Oculus Rift below.

Brass Tactics Arena

Looking for an immersive card-based fantasy game with aspects of World War II blended into it? Brass Tactics Arena is the game for you. In this game, you’ll battle rampaging giants, robots, and more.

The Lab

The Lab may be a few years old, but it’s still a great game. In The Lab, you’ll conduct a number of different science experiments, with a series of different mini-games introducing the user to different aspects of science. For example, there’s the Longbow game, in which you’ll defend your castle against a horde of attackers. Or, there’s the Human Medical Scan experiment, in which you’ll explore the different aspects of the human body. The game as a whole is polished and easy to grasp, and definitely worth checking out for any VR gamers.
