My Quest experience - mods/games/side loading.

I purchased my Quest on December 9th and have been playing with it quite a bit since. I would like to share my experiences, reviews of games and some minor mods I have done. These opinions are my own and very well might not reflect how you feel about a game or the comfort of the headset. If you have differing opinions or comments, please share!! Any links I provide are for your reference and are items that I purchased on my own. I am not affiliated with any products or games that I mention in this post. I hope this can help anyone that just got a Quest or is thinking about getting one…

Headset Comfort
Before getting my Quest, I read a lot of reviews that talked about how front heavy it was, with some reviewers stating their neck hurt after playing for longer periods of time. These reviews nearly made me avoid purchasing the Quest but after trying it out at a brick and mortar store, I made the purchase. Personally, I did not think it was overly heavy when I first started using it. I did notice the extra weight on the front but felt like proper strap adjustment accommodated for that.
As for the controllers, they felt good in my hands but I was paranoid that I was going to fling them across the room even though I had the wrist straps on. They felt too loose to really secure the controllers from an accidental throw while in the heat of VR combat!
The mask material that comes in contact with your face is comfortable for the most part. I did find it a bit scratchy at times, particularly after longer gaming sessions but it was tolerable.
Two weeks in, I decided to try some comfort mods that I had been reading about. I purchased hand straps for the controllers, a silicone cover for the face mask and a cell phone case with built in belt clip to hold a portable battery that I already had at home.
These three things combined made a huge difference in overall comfort and playability. The hand straps really secure the controllers to my hands and I don’t worry at all about accidentally letting them fly out of my hands. The silicone face mask cover is extremely comfortable and feels cooler on my face. It’s also very easy to clean when sharing the device with others. The phone case for my battery was probably the biggest win of all.
I had an Omars 10,000 mAh battery and found a post online of someone that used the same battery as a counterweight for the headset. The phone case I purchased per that same modders recommendation fits the battery pretty well, just needing a little of the packing styrofoam that came with it to wedge the battery so it doesn’t slip around. I did need to trim a bit of the leather on one end of the case so I can access the usb-c port on the battery, but it was a minor procedure that yielded the desired results in seconds. The case clips securely to the back strap of the headset and connects via a 1 foot usb-c cable. What a HUGE difference the counterweight makes. The Quest feels really light on my head now and I would highly recommend this mod to anyone looking to add a counterweight. The other added benefit is that this battery provides approximately 3.5x the battery life of the Quest so the two hour Quest battery life increases upwards of 7 hours.

Games - these are my personal experiences and yours may differ. I add a (+) for a positive experience and a (-) for a negative experience and (\^) for a ‘could be better’ experience

Vader Immortal - Play as a smuggler that has discovered force abilities trying to escape the clutches of the Dark Lord.
This is one game I haven’t played a lot but from what I have played, I can say the visuals are beautiful and light saber play is cool.
(+) My favorite part of this game is seeing just how big and intimidating Darth Vader really is. In the movies, you can see that people are frightened at the sight of him, and in the game that becomes more apparent when he walks straight up to you for a chat.
Beat Saber - Slice through blocks to the beat of the music using light sabers
(+) Loads of fun and can be pretty challenging at the higher levels. Honestly, I don’t know how anyone hits the blocks at Expert+. It’s insane!
(+) The accuracy of the light saber swings is fantastic and when you get into the rhythm of the song, you can really feel the music in your body while slicing the boxes.
(\^) The built in song library is just ok. There really isn’t anything that I WANT to play. It’s not that I don’t enjoy playing those songs, but their unfamiliarity doesn’t make it as much fun as the game could be with well known songs.
(+++) That’s where SideQuest comes in. See more about SideQuest below, but as it related to Beat Saber, it’s just what I was looking for! Through SideQuest, you can load up BMBF and from there, you can access a huge library of user created Beat Saber songs. This is where the fun really starts. Playing along with your all-time favorite songs as well as all the new artists and songs that are popular today makes the game so much more enjoyable.
Elven Assassin - Defend your village from invading orcs with your bow and arrows
(+) Firing arrows at orcs as they storm your castle/town is incredibly satisfying
(+) The online multiplayer works really well and it can be quite fun playing with others at the same time. Waving and dancing around after defeating a wave of orcs adds to the charm of the game.
(+) PvP is also a lot of fun but there are fewer active games available for that. More players tend to play Co-op.
(-) Loading an arrow on the bow and be glitchy at times requiring me to look down at my hands to see if I have things lined up properly. Even when I do, it sometimes doesn’t load, but this is a small fraction of the time and doesn’t terribly affect the overall gameplay.
(-) The multiplayer game menu is confusing at times. I will see an open game and click join only for the list of games to change (many games even drop off the list) and I am not put into the game I attempted to join. I then have to go back out to the server selection screen and start over. This can go on for a little while before I get into a public game.
(\^) I am color blind and the in-game notifications are color driven, meaning that a message appears over the orc which was shot and that message is in the color of the player that fired the successful arrow. There is no other indication that I have seen which tells me if I hit my shot or not. In consideration of color blind people, some kind of personal indicator that only I see when I get a hit would be helpful along with the shared notification that all players see in game.
(\^) The game can get a bit repetitive, particularly as you get into the later waves. I feel like the distribution of the orcs should be such that you want to move around more. Right now, I can stay in my tower the entire game and have just as much of a chance of hitting an orc as anyone else (with a few exceptions). I think it could be better if rounds had an overload of orcs or dragons on a particular path which would encourage players to share a tower to defeat the mob.
Acron - Take the form of a tree and attempt to stop squirrels from stealing your precious acorns
(+) this game is crazy fun when you have a few people that want to play along with you on their phones. The Oculus wearer is the tree and the mobile device players are the squirrels trying to get the acorns at the base of the tree
(+) the tree and the squirrels get powers that can help them be successful. The tree has goo to slow down the attacks, small and large balls of something (not really sure what they are!) that you can throw at the squirrels. The balls can also be explosive if you throw one into the other. You can grab and yeet the squirrels across the map to save your precious acorns. As for the squirrels, you can choose one of four - slow with a shield, avg speed with digging capabilities, avg speed with ramp building abilities or avg speed with high speed power up. As a group, the combination of these skills can make it quite challenging for the tree to guard the acorns.
(+) The online experience for the Oculus and mobile device players is seamless and makes joining and playing very easy
(+) Playing with kids or adults is a blast and highly recommended for anyone that wants a local multiplayer experience without having to have multiple Quest devices.
(-) Can’t play with only bots. You have to get at least 2 human players to join with their mobile devices. Sometimes people aren’t around and I just want to be a tree smacking around the squirrels. Let the bots come at me!
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes - Defuse a bomb by getting instructions from another player
(+) The game requires communication between two players, one with the headset and one with the defusing instructions. The game cannot be played otherwise which allows for a positive multiplayer experience with only one Quest headset.
(+) The game play can be intense at times as the clock ticks down and you are racing to describe a bomb module to the person with the instructions so they can tell you how to deactivate it.
(+) The modules are randomly combined to create a bomb so it’s not terribly likely you’ll get the same bomb repeated, but it can happen. The modularity of the bombs helps keep the gameplay fresh for repeat play and really makes the players have to communicate as clearly as possible to be successful.
(-) And this is only about the relationship you have with the person you play the game with :) Ever hear how Mario Kart can ruin families? Well, this can too if you don’t take a step back and decompress after a stressful bomb defusal attempt. If you play the game properly (the instructor doesn’t look at the screen) then it can get a bit stressful if the communication isn’t flowing properly.
(+) Related to my above negative, I give the developers a positive for making a game that can feel this stressful at times.
Moss - Control a warrior mouse through beautiful landscapes while navigating maze like puzzles and challenges to complete each stage
(+) Beautifully rendered world and the mouse is a charmer
(+) The combined gameplay of controlling the character of the mouse as well as using your own hands to interact with the environment along with full immersion allowing you to look around and under things for paths and objects makes this a unique gaming experience
(-) some of the early levels do not have much at all to do. Sometimes you just have to run through a level from start to finish with no obstacles or challenges. We were confused a couple of times by this.
(+) the later levels get more complex and challenging
Job Simulator - Perform tasks in various job settings ("Auto Mechanic", "Gourmet Chef", "Store Clerk" and "Office Worker")
(+) Great fun for some nonsense play with no real commitment to completing the tasks given to you
(+) the tasks are pretty simple and easily accomplished, allowing you to move from stage to stage, interacting with different robots and personalities along the way
(+) each job has a good amount of interactive components to it, allowing you to have quite a bit of fun in one job before moving to the next
(+) you can remove hats and glasses from the robots and put them on yourself
(-) you can’t see the hat you are wearing and the glasses mostly get in your way of seeing the environment
(+) You can do some fun and silly stuff throughout the game (make a ginormous hot dog as a store clerk, put your head in the copy machine as an office worker or drink motor oil as a mechanic)
(+) Great kids game or something to show someone experiencing VR for the first time
Space Pirate Trainer - Fight off waves up space droids with a small arsenal of guns, shields, turrets and magnetic whips
(+) The variety of weapons keeps the game fun and differing waves of enemies require you to choose different weapons for the task at hand
(+) The mechanic of switching between guns and shields is fun. Placing your hand up over your shoulder towards your back as if you are pulling out a sword will switch between your gun and shield.
(+) The shield having an alternate mode for attacking enemies is a nice touch allowing you to quickly switch between defending and attacking
(+) Holding out two shields simultaneously makes you feel like an all powerful being
(-) No multiplayer. This seems like the perfect game to have a friend join you in defending your base from the invading droids.
(\^) Not a full 360° experience. All of the action takes place within 180° while there are some interactive elements behind you, the enemies do not appear there.
The Thrill of the Fight - boxing simulator which allows you to both train in a gym and fight in the ring
(+) This game gives you a real workout. I was dripping sweat by the end and over the next couple of days, I could feel it in muscles that I never used before since boxing is new to me.
(+) The hit boxes and accuracy are great so when you properly time and throw your punch, it will land on target.
(+) The ring fights are quite immersive. You can dance around the ring, lean into your opponent to tie them up, step back to avoid a punch and set yourself up for landing your punches to counter the opponent.
(-) Not exactly a negative, but unless you have a lot of space to play in, you won’t fully experience the realism of boxing. Give yourself a lot of room else you’ll bob and weave your way into punching the wall or furniture.
(\^) The gym workout is fun but I would like some better guidance on how to score points when working out. It isn’t clear to me what I should do with the focus ball to both score hit points as well as dodge.
(\^) A better indicator of when an opponent is stunned or tiring in the earlier stages of learning to fight. I understand that the opponents jaw will drop and his mouth will be open, but for an inexperienced boxer such as myself, I have a lot to think about and focus on while learning so some indicators of success or opportunity to attack as you fight your way through the lowest level opponents will help newer players train themselves to look for the physical signs in later fights.

SideQuest

This may sound like a game, but it’s not. SideQuest is a tool that allows Quest owners to side load games and content from creators that do not have their creations in the official Oculus store.
Once I found this and learned how to install it, a whole new world of VR opened up to me. There is a SideQuest app store with a number of games, some polished, some in early alpha stages and everything in between.
The biggest plus I have found for using SideQuest is the ability to side load custom made Beat Saber songs. While SideQuest itself isn’t directly responsible for the song loading, you cannot accomplish it without having SideQuest to install the necessary software which handles the song and mod uploading. That software is called BMBF.
There are some quality games in the SideQuest app store, namely Crisis VRigade and Tea for God. Crisis is so much fun. You are a police officer responding to in progress crimes and have to take down the enemies all while dodging, crouching and sometimes even crawling yourself to safety or to find the best shot from under a desk or around a column. Tea for God is another cool experience where character movement through the game space is controlled by your own movement within your defined guardian area. This is another game that requires a sizeable amount of room in order to get the full experience. I highly recommend both of these if you want to try out SideQuest.
One thing I struggled with when learning how to side load is the abundance of tutorials and how-tos that are sometimes out of date or poorly presented/organized. It’s not terribly hard to get all of this software installed and running, but what is a bit challenging is finding a place that walks you through everything in a way that even less tech savvy users could understand and follow along.
I think some of the tutorial limitations are a result of the quick changing landscape that the Quest, SideQuest and BMBF occupy. Documentation is hard to begin with, never mind trying to keep it updated in a quickly changing space as Quest popularity soars.

Oculus Link

Official software from Oculus which allows you to connect your Quest to your gaming PC via usb-c and replicate the Oculus Rift-S experience on your Quest.
With this configuration, you can also play Steam VR games.
Access to the Rift and Steam game libraries adds hundreds of games for you to choose from.
Oculus released an official cable that sells for $79 but I have been using a USB 3 amp cable I purchased a while ago for phone charging and it works perfectly for me. Not only that, it costs only $8.99 for a two pack on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B2SYXT6

So there you have it. My experience with the Quest over the last 3 weeks. I love the device and have absolutely no regrets for purchasing it. If you are on the fence for any reason, but can afford the purchase, I say go for it. It is a whole new world of gaming and it seems to be the right rocket to be latching onto at the moment. I hope this was helpful to anyone that took the time to read it and if you have any questions, be sure to let me know.
