I feel like all I see in the VR space is endless articles on new hardware and basically nothing on quality VR games. I always thought I'd upgrade my Vive to an Index or something better one day, but so far the only compelling reason is HL: Alyx and I'm not spending that kind of money on a single game.

Ms flight simulator is quite clunky and hard to get good frame rates, but damn if you can put up with that it's an awesome experience in VR. Also beat saber.

For quite awhile now those have been the reasons for VR. Sad really. Still these two things are compelling.

Beat saber is fun, but you definitely don't need anything fancy to play that game

Racing games in VR are excellent. It’s all I’ve played in vr for quite some time now.

there are quite a few games out there that aren't specifically VR games but are still very well suited for it because they put you in the cockpit of a vehicle. I haven't really used my VR headset much for VR specific games, but I've been putting a lot of hours in Assetto Corsa Competizione because with VR and a wheel, I'm completely immersed. Same goes for people who like flight or space simulators

I had the same thought when I had a Vive. I ended up just buying the Index Knuckles controllers so I could play HL: Alyx. It really is the only AAA game available that makes it worth it IMO.
