Elapsed time from my reality to virtual reality is astonishingly quick with the Oculus Quest.

When I reviewed the Quest a year ago, it received an Editors' Choice.

I don't regret either of those labels in 2020, in a world that's totally different from the one in which I originally reviewed Quest.

What's made the Quest great, and continue to be great, is its simplicity: it's all in one.

It's been a year and a month since I was taking the Oculus Quest with me on a vacation to Aruba, a lifestyle that now feels like a thousand years ago.

I didn't use it all the time on vacation, because after all, why not enjoy the sea, the sand, my family.

VR is now good enough and effortless enough that it's totally, seriously great.

The Oculus Quest was great when I first used it, and it's still great now.

While Facebook may have an Oculus Quest follow-up set for later this year (or the year after), and a lot more VR headsets from a variety of competitors may be arriving with new features and maybe lower prices, the Quest remains amazing today.

Enough VR hits from the last four years are on the Quest to offer the best of what's around, optimized for an older cellphone-level processor that somehow manages to make it look good.

Oculus has evolved the Quest in the last year, adding hand tracking, and a way to connect to a PC and become a full tethered PC VR headset if needed.

It's gotten better, as a product, than most products do in a year's time.

The Oculus Quest is a lot of things, many of them fantastic.

Oculus' curated collection of Quest apps are often standout, and most of gaming's best VR experiences have been ported over surprisingly well.

And yet, it's something I'm so interested in using, browsing apps for, discovering what else is coming.

The Quest is good enough to overcome my dislike for a lot of Facebook's social media platform.

It's good enough to make me want to know what comes next.

It's good enough to keep being the thing I keep charged and ready for another day.

And in a world where I'm stuck at home and not able to get out to the rest of the world anymore, I need things like it more than ever
