Description: Welcome to The Lab, a compilation of Valve’s room-scale VR experiments set in a pocket universe within Aperture Science. Fix a robot, defend a castle, adopt a mechanical dog, and more. Still not sold? It’s free!

Review: While this is little more than a VR showcase it is one of the best free apps to try out when you first get your VR headset. Those of us who are already VR veterans will not find much to do here because it is mostly an app for people new to VR. It looks amazing, the hands-on update feels great and it features most the things you will be doing in VR like shooting, picking things up and throwing. At the end of the day it is free so do give it a go!
