Quests are challenges you can do on your own, any time you want. Some are simple questions, others are things you need to do in game, such as time trials.
This game scared the bejesus out of me. It perfectly encapsulated the series as well.

When I was in grad school, I was working on a thesis about VR and immersion. The hypothesis was that VR increased immersion and we measured this using horror games (Alien: Isolation) and body sensors for electric impulses, perspiration, and heart rate.

Naturally, someone had to be the test monkey and it was me. So I had to play this incredibly scary game both in VR and as the control (no VR, on a PC). I also had to play the game enough to get it to where we needed it (you know, the part where you have to sneak). It was frightening.

Probably no surprise to you, but yes, VR increased immersion lol. It's based on screen size and VR is about as close as you can get to the screen.
