I went to one of those VR places this week for a co-workers fairwell. You know the ones cropping up around the place, where they do escape rooms and such like. As the rest of the group had limited experience in VR we did 60 minutes of 4 mini-games. It was pretty fun!
I have to admit my expectations were pretty low. As a general rule, games in VR have been a bit lacking for my (admittedly somewhat refined) tastes - they tend to be a bit clunky and superficial, particularly when playing alone. But playing with 3 people and letting myself get in to the games was great! Having the bigger space was also really nice, towards the end all 4 of us were moving around the area and giving each other enough space to move.
We played a zombie horde mode game, a fast food restaurant game, a shoot the flying robots game and a shoot the fantasy themed goons with bow and arrows style game. All of them were fairly simple and welcoming to new comers to the forum, but very arcadey. They felt like double dragon type games you might play for 3 minutes at an arcade, those games capable at offering a fun but meaningless experience.
I would recommend it for an adult group wanting to try VR or maybe an escape room but there isn't one nearby.
I do think it highlight a few holes in the market - there seems to be few kid focused games available and few adult games with meaningful depth to them.
