MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE
Welcome back recruit! MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE is a frantic VR FPS roguelite where players craft powerful hand-held weapons and struggle to survive — er defeat — the MOTHERGUNSHIP. Experience room scale movement*, dodging, limbo-ing and even relishing the satisfaction of literally punching through clouds of bullets, all while perfecting your weapon masterpiece.
Survive the MOTHERGUNSHIP’s metal minions and earn gun parts to add to your weapon, easily picking them up and snapping them into place in VR. You’ll choose from a wild array of distinct gun parts and upgrades like chainguns, railguns, and pizza launchers (yes, explosive pizzas) to forge hell-ish combinations. Design your weapon, then destroy the MOTHERGUNSHIP fleet as alien machines, explosive traps, metal pests, and deadly bosses do everything they can to blast you and your weapon back to square one.
*MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE includes accessibility modes to support all players. Seated-mode enables stationary gameplay, and free movement mode enables the player character to dodge with the controller. More accessibility information can be found in the game’s settings.
*MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE supports Meta Quest 2, Valve Index, HTC Vive, and HP Reverb G2.

While it is a little dumbed down from the original Mothergunship, it brings more with VR than it lost from complexity.
The controls for building guns were a little hard for me to use at first, but I got used to it quickly.
Easy to pick up, easy to play short sessions, so well worth it.

If you're like me, you're wading through Steam for the "Good" VR games. And if you're like me, you've got a friend who plays so finding the good VR co-op games is even bigger of an ask.
Well good news, we've got a C E R T I F I E D B A N G E R here, Mothergunship Forge is surprisingly excellent. It's a roguelite wave shooter, you've seen those before. But the variety of weapons, powerups, and the incredibly satisfying gameplay of Lego-piecing your gun together to make a devastating monstrosity is really enjoyable. The sheer number of buffs, customization, and things you can do to tweak your run make it a joy. You can even power up the connectors themselves to provide buffs to anything connected to it. Absolutely a must buy if you have a VR friend.

each run takes around 20-30 mins
selecting non-default modes like Brawler(fists only modifier) can be considered as a good alternative to your gym membership

Awesome game, more than just a wave shooter. Roguelite where you build your gun setup on each hand with unique upgrades, weapon types, and connector pieces to connect more. You physically have to move out of bullets, enemies and more.

Couldn't stop playing when I first tried this game. Each run kept feeling better and better with me making it to the second boss which was the coolest thing ever and had me laughing like a kid from sheer badassery. Super fun and there is so much content for a great price so I consider this a peak VR game!

highly recommend this game if you just want to get to the action of vr and shoot things, the guns remind me of ratchet & clank with how ridiculously over the top guns can be in this game, and being able to dodge bullet by moving my head around is cool.
the only probably I have with this game is my valve index controllers are kinda bad at gripping, so grabbing and moving attachments can be annoying but only a minor problem because you do stuff like that out of combat and punching robots isn't something I ever do because shooting them always seems better.
haven't tried this in co-op, so I have no idea how well that works.

This has an almost Lego/Minecraft/ meets a VR robot shooter. You have a Circle, and have to doge incoming fire from small robots similar to Space Pirate Trainer, how ever this has alot more guns and you can mount guns to rail systems, modify them. mix n match, and have several. It's alot of fun!
