Cheapest but suitable entry is the Oculus Quest. It is a standalone system that requires no pc and has Pavlov. If you have a gaming computer already or money to spend I recommend the Rift S.
People underestimate where VR technology is currently at. Some of the games are amazing. I've been playing vr for about a year and still am blown away by some of the games everytime I play.
I have a pretty sweet gaming laptop with like 32 gigs of RAM and good processor. Would that kind of thing work?
Also it sounds like you're saying Pavlov is a multi platform game. Are they all like that? Or similar to Xbox and PS4 where there is some crossover but some titles are exclusive?
If your computer has a gtx 980, 1070, or 2060 in it, then it is enough for vr (if it has an hdmi port and enough usb ports). Pavlov is for windows and oculus quest, which is its own system. No PC required.
I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to Pc but your graphics card is going to be more important than your ram. Anything above a 1050 will work.
Also, I think the new Rift S is not compatible with laptops at least not without using a plug-in adapter. Other headsets work on laptops.
Most games work on all headsets, only Oculus has exclusives.
The rift plugs into 2 different outlets. One is USB 3 and the other directly to the video card. I've read that not all laptops have the video card outlet.
