Since the industry VR push six years ago we have had an astounding list of amazing titles:

  1. Half Life Alyx

What a run for this exciting technology.

They (the industry) keep fiddling with trying to make the hardware better and more accessible even though it's already in a good spot there, instead of making killer apps that warrant getting the hardware in the first place. It's a fucking insane catch 22.

Consumers aren't buying the hardware even though there are affordable options mostly because there isn't anything to really use it for (along with a probably non-negligible number of users who won't get certain products over privacy concerns).

Game makers aren't making games for VR because the saturation of the hardware isn't high enough.

Paradiddle is extremely good, you can play percussion just like that, at home, with your fav songs. Why does nobody talk about this.

Simracing, obviously, is amazing, and Phasmophobia is great

I use my headset every single day and it's the best entertainment thing I've bought in the last 10 years. Before that it was the PC.

I use my headset nearly everyday for three things. VR pinball simulation, Beat Saber for cardio, VR porn/camgirls for beating my saber.

I do sim racing and flight simming, while not VR exclusive games, once you try it in VR you can’t go back. Besides that, walkabout mini golf is probably one of my favorites, blade and sorcery, hotdogs horseshoes hand grenades (though, not much of a story to that one), vertigo 2, Boneworks, there’s plenty of great games for VR, and that’s ignoring some of the stuff like using it for workouts when it’s freezing outside and getting cardio in with beat saber
