Halloween is finally here with beautiful pumpkins lighting up the autumnal darkness, but what you’ve been looking forward to the most is probably all the scary and frightening games that make your pulse race. Here you will find gaming tips and VR accessories for a successful Halloween. Because Halloween is made to be experienced in Oculus/Meta Quest 2.
If you don’t already have an Oculus Quest 2, you’ll want one this weekend.
There are so many great games that are perfect for Halloween. We’ve picked out a few that we like and think will give you a pulse-pounding experience.
The games we have selected are those that can be played directly in the headset. So they work for anyone with an Oculus Quest 2. You don’t need any VR accessories to play these Halloween games either, although it can make it more fun.
Face Your Fears II
One game that we think is great for Halloween and is reasonably priced is Face Your Fears II.
Get to know the tragic story of the Harvest family as you explore their long-abandoned home.
Immerse yourself in two tantalising scenarios that reveal a story of terror through the ages. In the first, your sister has disappeared and all roads lead to the old Harvest Estate.
Take on the role of a paranormal investigator. Come face to face with the evil that lives in this house.
Can you escape the same fate that befell other intruders in these corrupted rooms and halls? Or will you too be forever buried in the Harvest House?
Face Your Fears II lets players explore the creepy and abandoned Harvest House as they unravel the story of the Harvest family’s history.
The game is filled with jumpscares and creepy environments, and is sure to put your phobias to the test.
One suggestion for an inexpensive but good VR accessory is our Silicone Protector for Oculus Touch controllers, it absorbs shock if someone gets spooked and loses control during Halloween.
How much does Face Your Fears II cost? The price of this game is 19.99 USD in the Oculus store, a really good price.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted
A classic that stands the test of time and remains top of the list year after year is Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted.
The makers of the famous Five Nights at Freddy’s, Steel Wool Studios, have made a version for the Oculus Quest 2, a real thrill for Halloween.
Keep an eye on the monitors, handle the power and for God’s sake don’t blink for a second, because Freddy Fazbear and his possessed animatronic compatriots will definitely see their opportunity.
Hold on and be careful what you press because here you never know when someone will jump out and scare you.
Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is the kind of VR game where you take a deep breath to steel yourself before you play. You will have a gaming session filled with horror and fear.
Creepy, scary sounds should be played loudly for a stronger effect, if you don’t want to disturb the other members of the household, In-Ear Headphones for Oculus Quest 2 are a good solution.
The price for Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted in the Oculus store is 29.99 USD. Even this game is worth its price.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Aftershocks Update
A popular game that suits most people is: The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Aftershocks Update
For those unfamiliar with Skydance’s gruesome VR RPG, Saints & Sinners lets you explore post-apocalyptic New Orleans in search of clues that lead to the Reservation, a huge military warehouse containing weapons, food and supplies.
Along the way, you’ll battle hordes of flesh-hungry zombies as well as various human factions. The game contains a healthy amount of shooting and ranged combat, but the real fun is in the close combat.
Taking down zombies using makeshift weapons like a broken bottle or metal pipe is as satisfying as it is disgusting.
Combining jump scares and brutal battles, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners offers something for everyone.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Aftershocks Update is the game with the highest price. The price in the Oculus store is 39.99 USD. A lot of money for a game but it is a very good game that will provide many hours of gaming pleasure and not only during Halloween.
Halloween feeling without buying new games
If you don’t feel like buying any games for your Oculus Quest 2 for Halloween, we would like to inform you that some common games have changed theme during Halloween in the past. They haven’t given the same feel as the games above but they have given a bit of a Halloween feel for young and old alike.
Keep an eye on your game library and check for updates to your games.
