I’m looking for some games for my son that lets him explore and play around at his own pace. Things similar to First Contact, which he loved. He has motor control problems, so games that requires precise movements are difficult for him. For example, he cannot make it though the first song on Beat Saber when it is set to easy and the directions are turned off.

If you know of any that just allow a player to just explore or manipulate the things around them, while also hopefully being entertaining for a 12 year old, please let me know. Thanks!

    Are you using PCVR with steam or is this quest exclusively?

    If using steam:

    Super; you’re literally a super hero, there are missions with different powers or a free play mode where you can mix and match different powers in each hand etc.

    Garden of the sea; basically a cute animal crossing type of thing grow your plants, make friends with animals etc.

    If just using quest:

    Neko Atsume; a cute Japanese cat game where the cats just come and visit, you can interact with them, give them treats, also has a passthrough mode if using Quest 3

    Tentacular Not played it, but it does look like a fun one with our a major need for coordination

    I’ll try to come up with some more suggestions

    Also re beatsabre, you can turn off death/failing via the cheats as well, it’s how I play and how I introduce everyone to it

      Thanks those all look like something he would like, especially, Neko Atsume. He is obsessed with our cat but unfortunately she’s not the friendliest. I think he would really enjoy it.
