The game is quite enjoyable, and is a fresh take on the overcrowded Western VR market. Dead and Buried has some of the best aspects of cooperative Zombie survival games like Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood, while also retaining Gunfire Games' own signature style. It's a must-play for those who enjoy going to VR booths with friends.

6 From Other Suns

A Great Sci-Fi Co-Op Game In VR

• Platform(s): Oculus VR
• Release year: 2017
• Genres: Sci-Fi, Action, Survival Horror, Shooter

In this exhilarating and tremendously fun VR Shooting game, survivors of a spaceship face an ancient alien threat, and environmental horror is right around every corner. Its high-stakes VR gameplay summarizes all the strong points of the Oculus VR set and uses its potential to the maximum, creating an immersive space horror experience.

From Other Suns combines rogue-lite with crew management, and can be played solo or in coop mode. The runs are procedurally generated, so no playthrough will be the same. Plus, players can pick up dozens of weapons to fight off enemies, while also securing the ship from Pirate Raiders, and trying to keep it together from damage. It's a fun experience that will test the limits of friendship.

5 Darksiders 3

A Great Combo Of Hack & Slash and Soulslike

Darksiders 3 serves as a spin-off (of sorts) to the Horsemen saga, with a new character for players to control: Fury, the Horseman (or Horsewoman) who represents wrath. The story happens before the events of Darksiders, and is parallel to Darksiders 2. In the gae, the Charred Council (a group of mystical beings that keep the balance of the universe safe) summon Fury to hunt down the escaped Seven Deadly Sins.

But Fury doesn't have the trust of the Council, unlike her siblings, so she is sent to the mortal plane in the company of a Wraith to control her. The game is proof that the Darksiders franchise should have always stayed with Gunfire Games, with incredible gameplay, thrilling combat phases, and challenging bosses.

4 Chronos

The Beginning Of A Great Saga

• Platform(s): Oculus VR
• Release year: 2016
• Genres: Action, Adventure, RPG

Chronos was the first of the Labyrinth series by Gunfire Games, and came out for the Oculus Rift VR system. With tremendously limited technology, its third-person view is similar to the old Resident Evil Games. In a quest to slay a dragon who is endangering the world, a young and inexperienced hero descends upon the Labyrinth that encompasses all worlds.

Each time the hero fails in his quest, he will return one year later. As he ages, he will gain more wisdom and magic power, but will lose agility and strength. It's an interesting system, similar to that of Fable: The Lost Chapters. The game was a huge success and set a precedent for other games of the franchise to surface later.

3 Chronos: Before the Ashes

Even Better Than Its Original Version, Available To All Audiences

Chronos: Before The Ashes is a remake of the original VR game Chronos, but available for PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and Xbox One. Surprisingly, the game has everything that the original had, and more. With new and improved movement, combat, and targeting systems, this story showed its true potential.

The game also allows players to delve deeper into the Root and Labyrinth lore, learning more about the enemy that would appear years later in the game Remnant: From the Ashes, and serving as a connection between the two games. Ultimately, the remake of the original ended up being far better, and reaching a wider audience.

2 Remnant: From the Ashes

A Combination Of Souls Like & Third-Person Shooter

Remnant: From The Ashes is a great example of what a cooperative third-person shooter should be like. It features a cool and enthralling story, beautifully designed scenarios to explore, and a gloomy post-apocalyptic sci-fantasy setting. The story continues the Labyrinth and the Root saga after the events of Chronos: Before the Ashes.

The game can be played by up to three players in co-op and is incredibly fun. There are challenging bosses to defeat, hundreds of items to collect, and builds to customize the players' characters. The latest DLC incorporated an infinite mode where players could challenge never-ending stages and build their character on the go as they collected resources to survive each run.

1 Remnant II

A Step In The Right Direction That Leaves Room For Growth

The natural evolution of Remnant is in its sequel, Remnant: From The Ashes. The game features an improved combat system, and the addition of the "Archetype" system which redoubles the options for players to customize their characters, and considerably changes gameplay to a more RPG-like style. Each archetype has its own perks, similar to those from the previous games, but it also has intrinsic perks that can only be active and empowered when said archetype levels up.

Archetypes can also be combined, and players can have two of them active at all times, making it even more fun and exciting to try cool and powerful builds. With the latest expansions, The Awakened King and The Forgotten Kingdom, the game added even more places to explore, great storylines to follow, and challenging new bosses to beat. Remnant 2 has even more raw potential than its predecessor, and it will set the standard for every game in the franchise for the years to come.
