9. Roller Coaster VR attraction

Have you experienced one of those motion rides where you ride it through a fantasy park? Well this game is somewhat similar to that?
It makes you ride a completely abandoned roller coaster through a tropical island.
It comes for free, but you get to make some in-app purchases for it. It isn’t very highly rated but of the limited augmented reality games, it is a lot of fun.
10. Cyclops Duck Hunt VR
Price: Free
You probably didn’t have a childhood if you never played the NES Duck Hunt. Everyone had it along with a shooting gun on the Nintendo and other video game consoles.
This, however, is a strange enhanced reality version of it. It is a futuristic version making you a Cyclops-type character who hunts down evil mutant ducks. It has robot ducks, zombie ducks, and hilariously, Donald Trump ducks.
You can even play it in standard two-dimensional mode.
This game also offers in-app downloads.
With Google’s vision of making augmented reality accessible to all, and with the advent of Google Cardboard, the android augmented reality apps have received a great boost. These top virtual reality android games stand out, but by looking at the support from Google, it is possible that enhanced reality games will soon be a new multi-dimensional experience.
