Virtual reality can be an expensive hobby, but it doesn’t have to be. For many gamers and folks who want to get into VR fitness, the Meta Quest 2 headset is the best place to start. It has an established library of games and apps, including a stellar VR remake of Resident Evil 4, Beat Saber, Supernatural, Headspace’s new meditation app, the most immersive version of Tetris Effect you could ever hope to experience, along with many others that are worth trying. Plus, it doesn’t require any wires to use, letting you roam without worry that you’re getting tangled up as you play.
In addition to the scores of titles available on the Meta Quest Store, you can connect the Quest 2 via a USB-C cable (or wirelessly) to a Windows gaming PC to play Steam VR titles, including Half-Life: Alyx.
If you want to give VR a shot without spending $499.99 on a Quest 3 (the differences lie mainly in screen resolution, comfort, and performance boosts), I highly recommend the Quest 2, especially at the $229 price that Woot, a deal site owned by Amazon, is offering to customers. The 128 GB model you’ll get is unopened and includes a one-year Facebook warranty that covers manufacturing defects. Other stores are selling this headset for $20 more.

There’s currently no better wireless VR headset at this price point.
The Quest 2 is ready to go as soon as you open the box, with its two wireless controllers letting you easily navigate the interface. However, there’s one accessory that I recommend buying at some point. Swap out the default head strap for Meta’s Quest 2 Elite Strap that costs $49.99. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth buying since it allows for a more snug and comfortable fit that prevents the headset from moving around as you play.

As you level up your Vocations and character in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you will earn XP and Dcp. The former will contribute to you leveling up and passively getting stronger, while the latter needs to be spent on unlocking new skills for your current Vocation. There are 10 total Vocations you can eventually unlock and use, and each one has a dozen or more skills to unlock and test out, and yet you can only use four at any given time. That’s a lot of possible skills to try out and potentially waste your DCP on. Instead, we’ll help you min-max your build right from the start by recommending the best skills you should get for each and every Vocation in the game.
Over the past few years, there have been a few examples of video games with disastrous launches managing to make a comeback after putting in a lot of work and listening to the feedback of the gaming community. Games like and are examples of this, where, after a disappointing release, the developers did not give up and were able to turn things around and craft incredible experiences. Now, these games are known not only for their success story but are incredibly popular and fun forms of entertainment.
One of the tensest quests in Dragon’s Dogma 2 appears in the Checkpoint Rest Village — a major settlement far to the west of Vernworth. It isn’t tense because it’s hard. It’s tense because it’s timed and doesn’t explain at all where you need to go or what you need to do. By visiting the NPC Morris in the back of the village, you’ll learn that a child named Rodge has gone missing. Nobody knows exactly where he’s gone, but everyone has general directions where you need to go. Saving Rodge isn’t easy if you don’t know what to do, so let’s just get into it.
The price of the Meta Quest 2 has been all over the place in the past two years. In 2022, Meta raised the cost of this VR headset from $299.99 to a shocking $399.99 due to component shortages. Then the price sank to $249.99 in late 2023, just after the company’s $499.99 Quest 3 came out. Now, it’s sitting cozy at $199.99 at multiple retailers, with most of them offering some sort of freebie with your purchase that’d otherwise cost you an extra $50 or so. I don’t foresee the cost sinking below this and, frankly, it doesn’t need to; the Quest 2 is a phenomenal value at this price.
It was initially rather surprising when Moon Studios, well known for developing the beloved Metroidvania games Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel, announced that its next game isn't a Metroidvania at all. No Rest for the Wicked is an action-RPG not unlike Diablo, but the devs have reassured that it's "much more Metroidvania" than most games in the genre.
Dragon's Dogma 2's director has revealed his personal setup for the RPG sequel and advised newcomers on which Vocation to choose.
Contrary to how it may appear in certain other circles, not all reviewers take pleasure in writing negative reviews of games.
In the coming weeks or months, Meta Platforms could announce a new but more affordable version of its Quest 3 headset, and it is being dubbed the Meta Quest 3 Lite. While official details are scarce, rumours and leaks have given us a glimpse of what the Meta Quest 3 Lite could offer. In a new development, screenshots from a Meta User Research Zoom meeting have been leaked, providing details about the Meta's rumoured affordable VR headset including its name - the Meta Quest 3s. Know all about it.
Last year was an extraordinary year in the games industry to say the least, jam-packed with hugely anticipated AAA releases including Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Hogwarts Legacy, Starfield, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, as well as comparative sleeper hits like Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2. This year, however, seems like it'll be comparatively quiet, and one prominent industry analyst is doubtful it'll be able to top the unprecedented games rush that was 2023 if it doesn't pull something out of the bag.
