It's a rhythm action game – a bit like Guitar Hero, but you're slashing through blocks using lightsabers.
The game is loaded with great music, is endlessly joyful (and repayable), and is a perfect showcase for VR.

Eleven Table Tennis
There's not much to say: it's table tennis, but in VR.
The physics are spot-on, and there are loads of mini games plus an AI opponent that will really test your skills.
But perhaps the best bit is the multiplayer mode, where you can face off against real opponents – many of whom are...very, very good.

Horizon Workrooms
This brand-new offering from Facebook lets you work inside a virtual office.
You can connect to your real PC or laptop (even a MacBook!), create an avatar, and hang out with your colleagues.
There's a collaborative virtual whiteboard, support for video-calling dial-ins, and multiple office layouts to choose from. It's just like the office, but without the commute.
You'll actually need a gaming PC and an Oculus link cable, because this game is only available on the Oculus Rift store – and weighs in at around 80GB.
But it's a worthwhile addition: this is a full-blooded RPG that will make fantasy fans swoon.
It's a bit like Skyrim in VR, with exploration, puzzle-solving, and a proper inn where you can chug down a beer and smash things against walls.
Oh, and there's the rest of the game too...
