It's up for debate whether the best games on VR are guided 'experiences', or those that mimic 'proper' gameplay loops and console-style control schemes.

Regardless, in terms of something you can just slip a VR headset on and have a Neo-style "Woah" moment, it has to be Batman: Arkham VR.

From the moment you realise looking into the mirror will see Batman staring right back, to the final story-bending plot twist that ties neatly into Arkham Knight - or any of the Batarang-throwing antics you'll get up to in between - you can't beat the first game to really make you feel like the Dark Knight himself.
