Nothing but a network

Do you want more activity between basketball games this season? Nothin ‘But Net is a true VR basketball game and Sim where players go solo to the B-ball court or compete online against friends and other players. Blow off some steam or make a bet between friends by playing 1v1 in regular speed ball or multiplayer speed ball in a 2v2 game and practice your own thing with free throw close.

Fitness potential

Nothin ‘But Net takes place in a gym court in VR, where players actually use their arms and controllers to dribble the basketball, shoot, score, and even balance. You can play this room-scale game seated or standing, and the basketball hoops can be lowered for this. Players who stand and sit get good upper body training. Standing and moving to take pictures will put more strain on your lower body and core than if you were sitting alone.

to the top

To The Top started out as a PC VR game and has now moved on to PSVR. This is a single player, co-op, and multiplayer obstacle course that will get you to conquer your fastest times by using your arms and controllers to skip and climb walls and platforms. As a robot pilot / superhero of the To The Top Academy you jump, climb, fall, fly and skate in around 35 levels. Bonus: To The Top has a mind-blowing soundtrack, so turn it up, wait!

Fitness potential

To The Top pilots can ricochet off walls and hard to get to obstacles, enlarge flat and curved walls, and then get thrown into the air and fly down strategically. The game is played with gestures and not buttons, so you run with your upper body through timed obstacle courses (no pressure!). Playing on the room scale gives your legs a bit of workout, especially when maneuvering around a large robot or doing more challenging challenges.

HEXION

This is an action-intensive multiplayer and FPS game in which two teams of 5 compete against each other in a futuristic shootout. Play HEXION as co-op or solo against AI challengers when you don’t have enough players to team up. There are 3 game modes to choose from, e.g. B. Team Elimination, Team Deathmatch and Overheat in which you have to work towards achieving a goal. This game is an early entry.

Fitness potential

Playing HEXION with another person, group, or AI on maps like Ganymede and Compound or other challenging modes allows you to exercise as long as you are actively moving around on the room scale. With 8 weapons and 2 types of grenades, there will be tons of torso action while sneaking and shooting behind walls and teamworking up players to keep your legs busy.

Corrupted fate

As a demon who has been dropped into the human world, it is your job to rule the underworld and not be a real body in it. This is a super gory (guillotine, dismemberment, nudity) and adult-only game (adult jokes, swearing). So be warned and don’t give it to your child to play with. This is not a puppy and kitten game that gets along in a game with mass hysteria. You play a demonic being who tears apart convicts, ghouls and smaller demons with claws. This game is an early entry.

Fitness potential

Pulling and tearing up characters trying to attack you and keep you from returning to your cute home also known as the underworld will strain upper body muscles if you do this type of attack frequently. You activate the same muscles when throwing explosive objects and getting other special skills by fighting bosses. However, you also use your legs when moving your monstrous claws on a room scale.
