" ... Basic entry system but worth the small price of your sanity. ... "
" ... Absolutely unbelievable for the price! ... "
" ... For this price I would rather put the extra money towards the Oculus Quest. ... "

" ... If you’re looking for a fun vr experience that’s more for viewing aside from gaming this is the way to go but I do have two games and I love them both! ... One is a fishing game and the other is a zombie shooting game. ... "
" ... I'm not a gamer, but there are some really great games and I love the Wander app which is truly amazing. ... "
" ... Overall I would recommend saving up for the Quest over the Go, but if you're content with sit-down games or interested in watching movies, the Go is a great system for it's price point. ... "
" ... SO many great games to download, graphics are great. ... "
" ... Other VR games, rides, etc are great. ... "
" ... Lots of fun games to choose from. ... "
" ... He feels as if he is really in the game each and every time he uses it. ... He is far sighted and can easily use his glasses with it, although many games have magnifications that allow him to play without his glasses. ... Would recommend this for anyone wanting virtual reality play. ... "
" ... Very nice video and game play. ... "

" ... I had got the 32gb version and that's more than enough space for the apps you need. ... On the oculus store they have free apps and paid games that you can try out. ... Apps I recommend for sure: ... "
" ... Plenty of app options and great quality! ... "
" ... Every time, and the movies and apps and games are awesome with the oculus platform ... "
" ... The best apps on here are amaze and wander. ... "
" ... I'm not a gamer, but there are some really great games and I love the Wander app which is truly amazing. ... In addition you can watch movies on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and others, as well as Amazon Prime. ... I've also found it great for meditation and there are a few really wonderful apps with lots of beautiful scenery. ... There are also a few apps about the universe and our solar system which are stunning. ... "
" ... They are STILL advertising an app called Rooms where other people can log in and hang out in the same room, playing games, watching movies or tv or just sitting and talking. ... There are a lot of free apps but the “paid for” content is far superior. ... "
" ... The VR apps are neat, but one of my favorite things is just watching regular movies, and it looks like I'm watching them in an IMAX big screen theater. ... Another benefit of the Oculus Go is the price point of the apps is more like iOS and Android prices, and the Quest is more like full on PC or console prices for a lot of the games. ... Expect to pay a TON more for apps on the Quest vs the Go. ... "
