So many good ones. Eternal Starlight is extremely replayable and is pretty unique in VR space strategy. The Last Clockwinder can be hard to get used to, but feels like a Hayao Miyazaki movie translated into a VR game. Into the Radius is very much inspired by Stalker and is the best VR roleplaying game I've come across so far; it should have a whole genre of games following in its wake, even if it is a bit buggy. Lazerbait is super simple and is free; a fantastic game for putting on some music and zoning out for a while. And it's not VR exclusive, but House of the Dying Sun is by far the best VR starfighter game I've found. Please please please if you have any recommendations for VR starfighters, tell me, I've tried so many and it's the only one that scratches the itch!

Also check out the whole Half-Life library. Half Life 2 + the episodes have a free VR mod that kicks ass. Half Life 1 also has a VR mod, but it kinda sucks ass instead... still free though, and under active development. And Alyx has some really good community levels coming out, even if they are infrequent. If you haven't checked in for a while, Re-Education is incredibly good, as is Post-Human if you're not reliant on Vulkan rendering. Honorable mentions to Extra-Ordinary Value and Operator. And Levitation is really pretty... if flawed in other ways. There are some really underrated levels if you're willing to dig into the list, although there are also some with ratings much higher than they deserve...

Also deserving a mention is Contractors, which has a really easy in-game modding system similar to Blade & Sorcery's mod.io integration. Just be ready for some jank, a nonfunctional singleplayer mode that shouldn't even be in the game as is, and a lot of wondering "is that guy cheating?"

This is getting to be too much of an essay, but there are still some decent titles I'm missing. Amid Evil, Orbital Strike, Grapple Tournament, Red Matter, VTOL... and a bunch of stuff on my wishlist I'm sure will be good.

Don't let anyone tell you VR doesn't have a library!
