The Pico 4 spent a long time hiding in the shadow of the Quest, with its sleek design and slightly empty ecosystem. But surprise: things have changed. More and more games are arriving on the platform and some of them are honestly excellent, yes, even for you who refuses to take off your headset for more than 20 minutes.
In this article, we’ve compiled the top 10 VR games available on the Pico 4, so you can spend less time scrolling through the store, and more time slashing zombies, solving puzzles, or sweating through body combat workouts.
1. Blade & Sorcery: Nomad
Genre: Physical Combat / Sandbox / Medieval
Looking for a realistic experience? No, like too realistic? Blade & Sorcery: Nomad throws you into an arena where every sword slash, dagger throw, and spurt of violence follows a physics system that’s as cruel as it is honest. You don’t win with flashy combos or magic spells—you win because you were smarter, faster… or just meaner.
It’s basically a medieval sandbox where you can slice, parry, throw enemies into pits, and boomerang your shield like a steroid-addicted Captain America. All in VR, with ultra-smooth tracking on the Pico 4 that makes every movement hyper-immersive (or deeply embarrassing if someone’s watching).
This isn’t a story game. No quests, no whining protagonist—just you, some weapons, and a bunch of AI who instantly regret spawning. And that’s perfect.
2. Red Matter 2
Genre: Adventure / Puzzle / Narrative Sci-Fi
If Blade & Sorcery is merciless brawling, Red Matter 2 is cold, elegant storytelling. You play an agent infiltrating an abandoned space base where everything is… vaguely Soviet. You explore breathtaking environments (with native Pico resolution, thank you very much), solving puzzles, hacking systems, and trying not to freak out in the deafening silence of space.
The game shines thanks to its atmosphere: visually stunning, with environments that make your living room feel like a sad Tupperware container. The puzzles are smart without being frustrating (unless your IQ matches that of a maintenance drone), and the story unfolds more through environment than clunky exposition.
3. Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom
Genre: Action / Narrative Adventure / TV Drama Gone Rogue
If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “By order of the Peaky Blinders” in front of a mirror, this game is your therapy. The King’s Ransom drops you into the grimy Birmingham of the show, alongside Thomas Shelby and his gang, in an original story full of threatening lines and virtual whiskey. You get the heavy mood, the unintelligible British accents, and handguns hidden in tailored coats.
The experience is mostly narrative, with a bit of action, some dialogue choices, and enough dramatic tension to make your VR headset sweat. It’s not a sandbox—it’s a full-on episode of the show where you play the lead. And you’ll probably like that way too much.
4. The Last Clockwinder
Genre: Automated Puzzle / Relaxing / Clones That Do Your Job
The Last Clockwinder is that game that makes you say, “What if I ran a factory… alone… in a tree… with bananas?” Yes, the premise is weird. But the idea is brilliant: you record your own motions in VR, and those motions are looped by cloned versions of yourself. You then create a living production chain to solve increasingly complex logic puzzles.
No combat. No enemies. Just you, your cleverness, and your ability to repeat movements without turning it into an interpretive clown dance. The atmosphere is calm, the visual style soothing, and the difficulty curve elegantly tuned.
5. Cubism
Genre: Geometric Puzzle / Minimalism / “Why can’t I do this?”
You think you’re smart? Cubism is here to gently prove you wrong. The concept is simple: assemble 3D shapes to perfectly fit a given space. It’s like Einstein’s version of Tetris. The gameplay is ultra-smooth, no fluff, and relies entirely on your spatial visualization skills. Translation: your brain will sweat as much as you will in Les Mills Bodycombat (spoiler: that one’s coming next).
The visual design is minimalist, clean, and relaxing. You can play it seated, standing, or in mental zero-gravity. It’s the perfect game to unwind while feeling vaguely productive—like doing cosmic math to save the world. (In reality, it’s just you stuck on a purple block.)
6. Walkabout Mini Golf
Genre: Sports / Chill / “I missed a 30cm putt”
Walkabout Mini Golf is that game you launch “just to try”… and three hours later, you’re still there, trying to sink a virtual ball into a floating island hole. Yes, it’s mini-golf in VR, but extremely well done—with hyper-realistic physics, creative courses, and an atmosphere so chill it makes you want to whisper.
You can play solo, or multiplayer with friends (or silently raging strangers). Some courses are calm, others totally absurd (volcanoes, flying castles, lost ruins…). Honestly, it’s the perfect game for “doing nothing” while still feeling like you “did something.”
7. Les Mills Bodycombat VR
Genre: Fitness / Cardio / “Why am I sore there?!”
If you think VR is just for couch-bound geeks, Les Mills Bodycombat is here to turn your living room into a galactic boxing ring. Based on the world-famous fitness program (real ones know), this game throws punch combos, dodges, and flying knees at you, all to a high-octane electro soundtrack.
It’s intense, well-calibrated, and yes, you will sweat. No pretending here—after 15 minutes, you’ll be begging for a pause button like your life depends on it. The motion tracking is precise, and the futuristic visuals will help you forget (briefly) that you’re punching the air in your pajamas.
8. Pistol Whip
Genre: Rhythm FPS / Action / John Wick on MDMA
Imagine Beat Saber, but with guns and a soundtrack straight out of an action movie on a steroid binge. That’s Pistol Whip. You blaze through stylized levels à la Sin City, blasting enemies to the beat while dodging bullets like you read Matrix fanfiction in middle school.
It’s fast, fluid, and ridiculously addictive. Every level is a murderous dance routine where you *feel* like an action hero… even if you probably *look* like a frantic shrimp IRL. The gameplay pushes you to move, adapt, and replay. And replay, you will.
9. Ragnarock
Genre: Rhythm / Viking Music / “Odin’s drumline”
In Ragnarock, you’re not a hero—you’re a viking drummer. Literally. The gameplay? Smash giant drums to the beat of Norse rock tracks while your longship races through icy fjords. Yes, it sounds dumb. Yes, it’s one of the most fun VR experiences you can have without leaving your house or drinking mead.
Each track is a tempo challenge that tests your rhythm, arms, and ego (especially when you miss a glowing rune). Visually, it’s a stylized mythological fever dream, and the game never takes itself too seriously—which is great, because neither do you.
10. Green Hell VR
Genre: Realistic Survival / Hostile Jungle / Tropical Anxiety
Want to suffer? Green Hell VR is your game. This isn’t entertainment—it’s a misery simulator set in the Amazon. You wake up alone, with nothing, in the middle of a massive jungle where everything wants to kill you: snakes, hunger, fever, even your own brain. You have to find food, craft tools, avoid infections, and try not to go insane. You know, just like a Sunday without coffee.
The immersion is total: jungle sounds keep your nerves on edge, the lighting shifts with time, and every tiny detail could mean death (spoiler: it will). Not for the faint-hearted. But if you’re looking for a hardcore, authentic, high-tension survival trip—this is it.
