Jaison Lewis lists the best games on Google's fantastic take on low-cost VR
Sherlock VR
Ever wanted to step into the shoes of the great detective Sherlock? This game is for you. The game is an entire case that requires investigation, there are several scenarios and you have to unlock the clues. It is harder than you would think. Paying attention to minor details takes a lot of concentration. It is a good take on the VR concept where you live out an adventure story in first person as the protagonist.
InMind VR 2
InMind VR 2 is a really informative game that will help you, and maybe kids you know to learn about what goes on in the brain. The game takes you on a ride inside the brain of a child where you have to zap things to help the kid. Think of it as the movie Inside Out but with actual science and learning.

Layers of Fear: Solitude
Nothing screams VR more than a horror game. With plenty of scares around the corner, Layers of Fear lets you explore an old mansion and uncover the story of its past. Needless to say, this isn't for the faint of heart. You might want to wear headphones for this one to get the full immersive experience.
Need for Speed No Limits VR
Need for Speed is one of those games every kid in India knows about. The car racing title brings its fast and furious magic to the Daydream platform and it has to be one of the most enjoyable experiences on the device. Driving is surprisingly fun and the sense of speed is just something that cannot be experienced on any other mobile Need For Speed. Despite the price, this is one game you need to buy.
The Arcslinger
The Arcslinger lets you use the Daydream controller to become a rather talented gunslinger in a fictional alien town. The game definitely has some steampunk inspired art, and is a really well done first person shooter. It's comparable to the classic Time Crisis, a game that needs to be on this platform yesterday. Till that happens, The Arcslinger is great replacement.
Drift
What if you were a bullet that needed to hit a target that was not in the line of sight? Drift asks that question and produces an interesting result on Daydream. Mind control your bullet through a maze of complex structures to reach and kill your target. The game's art style is as fascinating as the gameplay.

Gunjack 2: End of Shift
Gunjack 2 is an excellent shooter that will have you going all guns blazing into heated space battle with enemies coming from all sides. The controller can be used to aim and you may want to sit on a swivel chair to get a grip on all the enemies. The game also has a proper story and there are other things to do other than just shooting.
