Presentation: While the ‘Oculus Quest’ isn’t as good as the Oculus Rift days it is still a pretty great experience being nicely packaged. With its black, sleek box with large images of the headset itself, this is packaging designed to be in shops as it features all the information you might need to make a purchase. Once you remove the outer sleeve and pull the top off the box you realise how tightly packed in the headset is. The main headset is nested in a plastic tray with everything else in the box at the back. Despite its small price, you get a good unboxing experience here and I was very happy with the strength and quality of everything.

Review: While I can’t deny that I love my Oculus Go the Oculus Quest blows it out of the water and could be a real game changer. While it is far from perfect it does offer a pretty amazing VR experience. If you don’t have a VR ready PC and an Oculus Rift I would highly suggest you give this headset a go. If this headset doesn’t take VR gaming to a new level I don’t think anything will.
