March 2025

Took me about 8 years to get a VR headset, but when I finally did, this was the first game I bought since I remember all the hype about it in 2016. It's a really fun little game to kill a few hours on, tons of replayability and little easter eggs hidden throughout. Only thing I'd recommend is having a decently-sized play area, since you're likely to smack into things around you otherwise while scrambling around your work area in-game.

Jan. 2025

Even in 2025, this game is still one of the better VR experiences out there. Job Simulator is quite nostalgic nowadays, being one of the earlier games to come out for VR, despite that, it was still updated to add an "overnight shift" mode which allowed you to play each job for an unlimited amount of time, and added support for index controls, as well as being able to pick up things from the ground without having to actually reach for the floor. I still remember playing it with my HTC Vive when VR was still relatively new and I had so much fun, and replaying it again, I had even more fun. The interactive aspect of the game really stands out, even after this much time. Everything is interactive, even the things you may not directly think are interactive, everything is satisfying too, even just opening and closing a car door feels satisfying and snappy, and the physics are solid. A lot love was poured into this game and it really shows.

Dec. 2024

This the best casual VR game on the market so far. My only issue is that it is extremely short. Only 4 jobs available to choose from. I know this game is from 2016 however, if there was an update or dlc that adds way more job options that would be amazing!

Nov. 2024

Job Simulator is what I would argue to be the best example of a beginner-friendly VR experience. It simply puts you in a job of your choice and lets you do it however you please. Theres no consequences, just freedom. I may only have 71 minutes on this game here on Steam, but I have played this game countless times on my Quest 2, going so far as to learn speedrunning it. This game never gets boring to me and I would recommend it to anyone, especially to those new to VR.
