In this segment of the video, Antone from Escape Portal introduces the topic of the best co-op VR games of the year. He emphasizes his preference for co-op campaigns over multiplayer PVP games and mentions that this year has been exceptional for VR games across different categories, including single-player and multiplayer PVP games. Before announcing his overall pick for co-op game of the year, Antone highlights several notable VR games that he enjoyed but didn’t make his top four, such as “Drop Dead: The Cabin,” “Survival Nation,” “Guardians Gambit,” “Dark Sword,” and “Ghostbusters.”
He then introduces the fourth top-tier co-op VR game, “Hell Sweeper,” praising its gesture-based weapon summoning, unique weapon and magic combinations, and excellent movement mechanics like midair double jumps and wall runs. Despite these positives, he notes that the roguelike structure of “Hell Sweeper” lacks noticeable progression and the hit detection isn’t perfect yet, though it remains an overall fun and highly recommended VR game for co-op play on Quest and PC.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses several VR game updates and highlights three standout co-op VR games. They start by noting that despite certain awaited updates not being available yet, the PlayStation VR2 version has received enough updates to make it worth purchasing.
The third-place game is “Dungeons of Eternity,” which impressed the presenter with its sudden emergence and excellent VR physics, especially for a co-op game on the Quest platform. The game’s procedural level design, vast enemy variety, and deep upgrade system are praised, making it a must-own for Quest players.
The second-place game is “Crossfire Sierra Squad,” deemed the most underrated VR game of the year. Despite initial disappointment from players expecting a realistic Call of Duty-style experience, the presenter believes it’s the best arcade shooter in VR. The game’s realism mode offers a highly challenging and enjoyable experience, though the necessity to unlock it by playing through the entire campaign in arcade mode was a misstep later corrected by the developers.

They highlight the improvements from the original game, including better physics, melee combat, and dismemberment mechanics.
