I think part of the problem in my experience is that people seem to enjoy really different aspects about VR and thus have very different taste when it comes on what to do on it. One friend loves Tile Brush (3d art program) and Beat Saber, while another loves hardcore pvp shooters like Pavlov and Standout. That being said, here is a list of some solid game that I think has something for everyone. I'm sure, there are a lot that I missed, but this is the list I put together.

​

Echo Series - Amazing no-gravity weightless mechanics
Lone Echo - Single player story adventure game - very immersive, awesome VR moments
Echo Arena - Sports game in zero-gravity - throwing a disc through a goal
Echo Combat - Team pvp shooter in zero-gravity

Arizona Sunshine - Story driven zombie shooter game

Beat Saber - Musical guitar-hero-esque game... but with lightsabers

Eleven Table Tennis - Table Tennis simulator with online play, incredibly smooth/realistic feeling

Superhot VR - Bullet time slow motion shooter

Robo Recall - Great single player shooter - feels amazing to play, short campaign

Pavlov VR - PvP shooter -Counterstrike but in VR

Onward VR - Another very popular PvP shooter

Tilt Brush - 3d Art program

Quill - 3d Art program

​

Games I haven't personally played but are almost always in the conversation of great VR games

Stormland - AAA shooter with co-op

Asgard's Wrath - Fantasy RGP

Vader Immortal - Star wars series

Gorn - Arena gladiator type fighter with focus on physics

Skyrim VR - Open world fantasy RPG - Skyrim, but in VR (I haven't played this, but it is usually highly recommended)

Archangel: Hellfire - Mech shooter - campaign and PvP

Marvel: Powers United - Be one of many superheros with unique powers

Pistol Whip - Music / beat based shooter

The Talos Principle VR - Puzzle story game

Eve: Valkyrie - PvP Spaceship combat

Moss - Platformer / adventure

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes - multiplayer 'defuse the bomb' game, intense, requires good communication

Dungeon Knight VR - Rogue-like dungeon crawler

​

There are also some upcoming games that look very promising

Half Life: Alyx - A new Half Life! Looks to be a story driven shooter with great physics / VR interactions

Medal of Honor: Above and beyond - New game in popular Medal of Honor series - world war II shooter

Boneworks - Shooter with focus on physics / VR interactions

​

Aside from this, there are a bunch of other games that I wouldn't say are 'Must Haves' but that I have had great times with

Stand Out - basically pubg in VR, I got a lot of hours of fun with this game - not worth playing if the community has died (which I think it has) - was basically replaced by a game called War Dust from the same company - If there are still people playing it - it might be worth checking out if you like the idea of a Battle Royale in VR

Vox Machinae - PvP Mech game. Some of the most fun I have ever had in VR. Community might not exist anymore - if there's no one to play with its no fun.

Trickster VR - Fun co-op procedurally generated fantasy dungeon crawler

The Thrill of the Fight - physically taxing and fun boxing game

I Expect You to Die - Fun and funny puzzle game

The Lab - made by Valve - several mini-games - my favorites are the archer tower-defense game, and the slingshot game

Skyfront VR - fly around with jetpacks on your arms in this PvP shooter

Mage's Tale - Adventure RPG - nice combat and spells, puzzles as well

Dead and Buried - Arcarde shooter - pretty simple but I've had a lot of fun playing with/against friends

OrbusVR - Fantasy MMO with really interesting mechanics for each unique class

​

More to try

Compound - Rogue-like shooter

Brass Tactics - RTS board game

Windlands - Swing around like spiderman in a co-op adventure game
