We’re officially rolling into Summer, where notoriously the VR industry is slow, gearing up for a potentially big Fall push. Therefore, it’s the perfect time to catch up on our VR backlog and in today’s episode we go through our list. Also, we share some final PAX memories, Dan plays more Ghost Town and Samson get’s a shiny new PS5 Pro to boost the visuals in all his VR games.

Game prices have gone up all round, Civilization clocks in at $60USD, the most expensive Quest game to date. So let’s flip the script and take a look at the best games you can get under $25, we go through $10, $15, $20 and $25. In the second half, we sit down with Cezary to discuss his impact on bringing XR to schools in Poland, with all the challenges along the way. Samson discusses 3DS emulation with Ciara VR and tries the budget version of Civilization, Crystal Commanders.

Note: I totally forgot about the media Cezary had sent me when editing the podcast, so here is a link to his work: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19KiZSwS84eA0GcyF-2pc0SAjAaUGx1GB?usp=sharing
