While Lone Echo is not the first game to take science fiction trappings and add a sense of weightless movement to the proceedings, it is easily the best example to date so far. The story is fantastic, the controls and visuals are completely immersive and is truly one of those games that could only be effectively conveyed with virtual reality.

I have often said that the primary advantage to virtual reality is immersion - and as a result of this, horror games are probably the most natural fit with the hardware. Wilson's Heart is a really well made game that reminds me of those classic, campy horror movies while making fantastic use of the Oculus Touch controls and keeping me on edge throughout.

While a 2D (or 2.5D if you prefer the term) does not seem like a prime candidate for virtual reality - to which I feel compelled to ask: why not? If VR is only for first person games, as I've seen far too many people say of late, then I feel they are missing the point. VR is about immersion, and there are plenty of games out there that can immerse you regardless of visual perspective or genre. Witchblood is an action platforming game that feels right at home on the Oculus.
