It’s much better for games that were designed around VR in mind.
Some of my personal favorite recommendations:
- Beat Saber
- Super Hot
- I Expect you to Die (trilogy)
- Half Life Alyx
- The Myst and Riven remakes

I found most VR games I tried to be shallow experiences. Resident Evil was cool but it made me feel motion sickness after about 30 minutes.

Elite Dangerous is phenomenal in VR. Same for Star Wars: Squadrons. But I’m a big space sim fan.

Half life alyx was a solid game and I would expect valve to release another VR game for this things release. Even if not, there’s good stuff out nowadays.
Although I don’t get the motion sickness that people have mentioned so maybe I have more options.

I’ll probably use VR mostly to play sims. Elite Dangerous, X4, I also have a few racing sims.
But ultimately depends on the price. I’m not going to sell my organs for what is essentially a really cool immersive gimmick.

Racing sims are 11/10 in VR. Any cockpit game really. No going back for me.

House of the Dying Sun is a space sim with a strategic map view in addition to piloting a fighter yourself.
It is so good in VR.
