The game I have played most so far is Beat Saber so keeping that in mind. Quest is truly portable if you have the space, you can use anywhere. It has a virtual guardian system where you can define the borders it should keep you in and it remembers it so if you play in same area you don’t have to define it every time you play. It also has vision pass through so after you put on headset, you can see and find the controllers and move to your play area before it puts you in VR space. You need to have smartphone with Oculus app to setup the device, including required use of Facebook account, but beyond that, you can do everything in headset. You can still use smartphone app or Oculus website to buy games that will auto download to Quest for next time you play. The system supports voice commands so you don’t have to be a menu master if you can learn which voice commands you can use after enabling the feature. I find it useful to start / end recording without having to leave the game. There is a Move app built in that you have to enable providing some demographic info, and then it can start tracking calories burned across all games / uses. I am not sure whether my Apple Watch or the Oculus Move app is more accurate but they are close enough to each other that it is good enough. I don’t think the included strap is any good because the device is heavier than PSVR and all front heavy. You should consider the optional elite strap or whatever they call it essential. I got the one that includes extended battery. Probably a good call because gives more battery life and I think improves weight balance. Still remains more front heavy than PSVR, but feels secure. I think the system with extended battery strap supports active use of 3-4 hours before you will need to charge. This is sufficient enough that I don’t worry about battery and just plug in to charge after use. The controllers take single AA battery each. They appear to have very long battery life. So far still at max bars. For Beat Saber, adjusting to these controllers took me a while because there is a very small heft. Once I got comfortable holding controller while pressing buttons to have better grip for sword, it’s been fine but I do still prefer PS Move controllers for Beat Saber. Bigger heft, and heavier and I think even track better. That said, PSVR doesn’t support 360 mode so adjusting to Oculus controllers is worth it for that. For shooting / other games, I think the Oculus controllers are better because include thumb sticks for movement and better layout to grip as virtual guns. The Oculus screen is not OLED but has higher resolution and faster frame rate than PSVR. I prefer OLED, but no denying the Oculus screen output is better, especially for the VR video apps. I have gotten but not yet hooked up Oculus Link cable to try playing Half-Life Alyx or Oculus Rift games not natively available on the Quest. Need to figure out connecting to PC, space near PC to play and then enjoy some Half-Life. I am still very new to the Oculus Quest and I spent over $600 on just hardware and accessories, but so far I am satisfied. It is a very viable VR device IMHO.
