When some people think of Virtual Reality, they still think of gimmicky 360 videos. 

Virtual Reality gaming is getting more and more popular by the minute. In the past few years, major game developers have taken on projects in the VR world. With big developers seeing VR as a worthy investment, games just keep getting better. These 10 games are driven by their incredibly immersive stories. What’s more immersive than a story that you can reach out and touch?
