> I recently dusted it off to give friends a demo and they were floored, reminding me how great it is. It just didn’t hook me. Maybe it was the solo aspect. I don’t have friends who do VR so there’s no one else to play with.

Convincing my friends to buy a Quest 2 was difficult, but now most gaming time is VR gaming time. The reality is that playing with friends, especially in VR is the #1 factor in making the experience enjoyable for me.

My experience is opposite. Everyone I know that got a quest 2, including me abandoned it after just a few uses. I predict the same for Apple vision.

Which games are good for multiplayer?

I really enjoy Walkabout mini golf.

Blaston

Eleven table tennis is good

The forest

No thank you.

It's a game too. Survival. It's pretty nice playing in VR with friends. Only pcvr though, there's no native quest version.

Or do you mean you don't like it?

I like it. But it was scary enough on PC.

I liked Wander to travel with my family when we were apart .

Beat saber can be played as a group and I found it quite enjoyable. For the more FPS style games Ghost of Tabor is absolutely thrilling and I'm enjoying "after the fall" quite a bit as well.

The trick is usually to walk away from things that are 1) "X but in VR", i.e. Minecraft in VR as it mostly reminds you that you could be playing Minecraft. 2) Cool tech demos. It's fun to be mind-blown by the VR mechanisms, but if the game itself it not interesting you won't play more that 2-3 hours.
