Elite Dangerous is one of the best VR experiences you can have. I've played this game for dozens, maybe hundreds of hours, all of it in VR, and ever moment of it absolutely absorbing. So much so, in fact that pretty much all other space/flight games that DON'T support VR are kinda ruined for me. Being able to freely use the entire canopy in a dogfight is... well it's just the way it's meant to be!

I'm not normally a huge Open Sandbox type person, but that's definitely what's happening here. There's no personal narrative apart from what you choose to do. There's some amount of community driven content for those interested in exploring that, but I've mostly stayed solo or with friends.

Space fighting feels amazing! Exploration can be fairly engaging; there are a lot of incredible vistas to see. Tooling around on planetary surfaces is hit or miss. Most of the planets you can land on (pre-odyssey) are completely barren, but there's resources to find, and some neat sights. The planets with alien tech on em are pretty rad though! And hell, they even managed to make mining engaging!

If you like spaceships, it's worth your time. If you have a VR setup, I think it's a must try!
