Are there any good VR games yet? (lemm.ee)

I got a Quest 2 a while back and played around with it a bit. There were some entertaining games like "I expect you to die" and the first portion of "Lone Echo", but mostly they just felt like proof of concept demos and I quickly lost interest.

Is there anything actually made for VR and a fully fledged high quality game?

Personally my peak VR experience has been playing the Outer Wilds with a PC VR mod, but very hardware dependent to get decent framerates.

Wanderer might be a good option for you if you're looking for a puzzle game with a bit more story meat to it.

I think a lot of VR games end up short and sweet not just for technical & cost limitations but because the extra effort and intensity of the VR experience means players can get burnt out on longer story focused games. I remember Valve talking about how they had to really change up the pacing of their standard formula when they were developing Half Life: Alyx.

That last point is a big one, for me putting 30 hours into a single VR game feels like putting 100 into a pancake.
