9. Ragnarock

Ragnarock - Launch Trailer 2021

So I want to start this list off with Ragnarock…

Ragnarok is a Viking-inspired rhythm game in which you play as a Viking captain and with your two hammers, you have to hit the incoming runes in sync with the epic Viking music.

Now, You might be wondering how a rhythm game like Ragnarock made it onto our list of the best VR fitness games.

The reason is that, while it may seem like you’re simply tapping runes, but in reality you need to hit them harder and faster. And Trust me when I say, it’s an incredible arm workout

It might take a few songs to get the hang of the game. The difficulty levels can be a bit tricky to navigate.

The normal difficulty might feel too easy for some, while the higher difficulty settings can be quite challenging. But Once you find your sweet spot, the satisfaction of nailing that perfect combo will make it all worthwhile.

And before playing this game JUST TWEAK SOME SETTINGS according to your liking.

8. Smash Drums

Next, we have Smash Drums…The game is similar to Ragnarock but what sets this game apart is the different genres of music it features and the spectacular environments and effects.

Smash drums feature more of “Streamline-music” you can say, compared to Ragnarock.

The game has a realistic mode too in which you have to hit the drums slightly or with full force but I’m a fan of barbarian mode in which you just hit the drums and cymbals with full force.

Smash Drums can Make your dream of becoming a DRUMMER come true. It’s a little difficult to play but insanely rewarding to master. And the drumstick tap is super sexy!

Both Smash Drums and Ragnarock are amazing fitness games but only the main difference is

1. Genre Of Music
2. The drums arrangements

7. Audio Trip

Audio Trip: Gameplay Teaser - Bangarang, Skrillex

Another amazing VR game that I’m head over heels for is Audio Trip. In my opinion, Audio Trip is one of the most underrated games that more people need to play.

The game features licensed music from popular artists such as Skrillex, Zedd, Lady Gaga, and more, ensuring an exciting and diverse soundtrack.

You can compete with players worldwide on the cross-platform global leaderboards or challenge your friends in Party mode.

While Audio Trip excels in its superb choreography and the feeling of truly dancing in VR, its main setback is the relatively short music catalogue.

This limitation prevented it from receiving a higher position on this list, but it still offers a fantastic and engaging fitness experience.

6. Knockout League

Knockout League | Oculus Quest + Rift Platform

On the number 6th position of the Best VR Fitness Games, we have placed Knockout League!

Knockout League is an arcade-style boxing game that focuses on fun and fast-paced gameplay, with each opponent having a unique fighting style and special moves to keep you on your toes.

Unlike other boxing VR games that focus on realism, Knockout League VR has a playful and aesthetic style that is charming and appealing.

It is perfect for all ages, including kids, with a difficulty level that is just right. And this game also doesn’t require that much play area, you just need to stay in the middle and you’ll be good to go

5. Synth Riders

Synth Riders [Gameplay Trailer]

Synth Riders is an outstanding rhythm game, However, unlike Audio Trip, Synth Riders overcomes the limitation of a short music catalogue by constantly adding new DLCs.

In Synth Riders, you’ll catch notes, ride rails, and gracefully dodge obstacles, all while grooving to the rhythm. It’s like freestyle dancing meets a heart-pumping workout, and let me tell you, it’s exhilarating.

With over 58 included tracks, Synth Riders offers an extensive selection of music to keep you grooving and it goes above and beyond with DLCs that expand the game even further.

1. The Thrill Of The Fight

The Thrill of the Fight | Oculus Quest + Rift Platform

And finally, lets talk about the Best Fitness VR Game: The Thrill Of The Fight!

The first aspect that stands out in this game is the feeling of throwing punches. The game has a unique physics engine that makes each punch feel realistic and satisfying.

You’ll feel the impact of your punches as they connect with your opponent, and you’ll feel the thrill of victory when you land that knockout punch.

Like its very hard to describe how it feels to knock out an opponent in this game.

I think the thrill of the fight is easily one of the most frustrating VR games but as soon as you knock out your opponent it becomes the most satisfying VR game.

The game requires a decent play area to play. I must tell you that if you don’t have the recommended play area of 6.5 ft by 5 ft then don’t you think of buying this game, because I’m telling you with my experience[I broke my fingers].

In my opinion, this game is not for everyone and especially not for kids. The game is very hard to play although it features easy difficulty. But yeah, I just wanted to point that out.

For only $9.99 you get the ultimate Boxing VR Simulator which is one of the major reasons that it’s a hit among the VR Community.
