The last BIG game for Meta Quest 3 just released, Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. It’s a slow burn, but when it gets going, it might just be the best VR stealth game on the market. Elsewhere, Samson tries a VR narrative movie in Ajax the Powerful. Dan is pleasantly surprised with Men in Black: Most Wanted. Finally we pick out our notable highlights from the Upload VR Winter Showcase. LTO Discord:https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh LTO Patreon:https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculusAffiliate Links:META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiyRAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LPRAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRYQUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBEElite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wHElite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pubActive Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXnLTO Posters:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_linkVR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING         Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing           Want to be part of the show?

The final Walkabout Mini Golf DLC has arrived and it’s all about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland! It features a very cool re-sizing mechanic that brings a lot of challenge to the course.

The biggest week in VR is here, Deadpool VR delivers a hilarious, silly action packed game, where Demeo x Dungeons and Dragons: Battlemarked might just be the perfect table top RPG game.

Star Wars was okay, Reach was decent, Arken Age is FANTASTIC. Dan and Samson give a full in-depth discussion about Arken Age on Meta Quest 3, discussing the gameplay, performance, level design, weapons, enemies and so much more, because this game has so many little details worth sharing! It’s a complete VR game from the ground up and we’ll tell you why. Elsewhere, Dan gives Remote Desktop on Meta Quest 3 a go. LTO Discord:https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh LTO Patreon:https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculusAffiliate Links:META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiyRAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LPRAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRYQUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBEElite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wHElite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pubActive Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXnLTO Posters:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_linkVR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING         Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing           Want to be part of the show?
