This first person fighting game is set in the Yan Valley, where players use 3 bladed weapons to fight demons and uggo-looking beasts before the world is taken over. It is your job to kill these creeping, spear throwing, flying attack demons, among other things, before they maim you to death.
Fitness potential
Equipped with a controller for swinging the sword, the upper body will get more action here with big swings. This is a room-scale game where you can walk around and crouch to avoid attacks from creepy teleporting demons. You can slow down time in this game, resulting in more accurate hits and a quick way to tire your leg muscles when you crouch.

DMD Mars Mission
Crustacean monsters and space insects invaded a refinery in 2081 and must be exterminated … along with the rats. In this first person action shooter, shoot small insects that mutate into gigantic monsters before they exterminate the rest of humanity on Mars.
Fitness potential
You will shoot insect and crab monsters as you walk through industrial buildings in the taken over refinery. DMD Mars Mission allows you to use your upper body strength to shoot for extended periods of time, cause refinery chemical explosions, and use your lower body to crouch or dive. Add weighted gloves or a vest to add some resistance and intensity if you need it.

Run Dorothy Run
Video credit to: PSVR World via YouTube
This is a track swinging rhythm game that plays in the background and in the plot of the Wizard of Oz. While the music is playing, use the controllers to hit and collect crystals and get special crystals (power-ups) that increase the score. This game has a flying monkey, the sarcastic floating head of the Wizard of Oz and Toto, who is running from Dorothy (you) all the time.
Fitness potential
A light tap on the crystals won’t do much, but if you really try and hit them as quickly and accurately as possible, you will feel it in your arms. Online gamers have said that Run Dorothy Run can be an effective upper body workout when set on medium and hard. Add gloves or a weight vest to feel the burn.

Fitness potential
Blocking balls in a gym, on a field, or on a hockey rink is a great mental and physical exercise for sports that depend on a goalie. Take on a challenge by matching the red and blue balls to the appropriate paddles, blocking high or low block balls, and blocking block pucks hit by hockey players. This is a goalkeeper sim that keeps the upper and lower body active on every block.
