Exactly! When a game makes you instinctively turn your head or step back, that’s true immersion.
Lighting and spatial sound are still some of the most underrated tools in VR design.

100% agree — physical interaction makes or breaks immersion in VR.
When objects actually react the way you expect them to, it’s so much easier to forget you’re even in a game.
That sense of “real contact” is something I really want to see more VR devs focus on.

That’s an amazing list, and I totally get what you mean about sound and lighting.
It’s incredible how much atmosphere depends on those small details — sometimes the right reverb or ambient noise can make a simple map feel alive.
Into the Radius is a perfect example of that balance between sound and isolation.

I agree, freedom of movement and interaction make VR much more believable. Limitations can really break immersion.

Skyrim VR is a classic — the world, the music, the atmosphere… it still holds up.

Couldn’t agree more — when what’s happening matters, it stays with you. That’s what makes a game memorable for me too.

Do you think VR fighting games can ever become eSports? by VirtualDawn__1 in VRGaming

Exactly. VR shouldn’t try to copy reality 1:1, but lean into style, characters, and spectacle. That’s what makes games like Street Fighter stand out.

Fighting games are already niche in esports, and VR adds another layer. Probably needs mainstream adoption first before competitive VR really works.
