A first-person shooter featuring sandbox elements, set in a post-apocalyptic world. Rage is the first new IP created by id Software since 1996. The action takes place on Earth, though the planet was devastated by an asteroid. The protagonist has to face the new, brutal reality. Making allies among other survivors, they stand up to the military regime in order to fight for their future. The player completes subsequent story missions (rather simplistic) given by one of the parties involved in the conflict. Although the missions themselves follow the patterns established by classic first-person shooters, the protagonist is capable of using various vehicles and parts of equipment. The latter can be crafted by the protagonist, once the player has obtained adequate schematics. The single-player campaign is complemented by two multiplayer modes. The players can take part in classic deathmatches, in which vehicles can be used; they can also participate in scenarios created exclusively for the co-op mode.

A rail shooter created by Llamasoft. The player is placed in control of a combat ship, which constantly goes forward and whether it is over a surface or inside a tunnel, the player's role remains to maneuver to the sides, perform dodges, attack enemies and destroy countless obstacles. The player fights smaller and larger adversaries coming in large numbers. A scoring system evaluates the player at all times - the scores achieved in 50 levels (differing in terms of colors and enemies one encounters) can be increased through collecting power-ups (which give speed boosts) and eliminating enemies quickly. Polybius catches one's attention with its simple, but incredibly original visuals and a pleasant, trance soundtrack. Although the game was created specifically for VR headsets, being in possession of such a piece of hardware is not required.
