Like others mentioned, Subnautica, No Man's Sky, and Skyrim are fun in VR, but not made for it. No Man's Sky, though, almost feels like it was. Also Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is really good in VR (and spooky). For "VR-First" games, obviously Beat Saber, but also found Thrill of the Fight (Boxing) fun and a great workout. On PC/Steam, many of the Steam Home places are very cool.
Yup my only used games are beat sabre, thrill of the fight, and eleven table tennis. My 13 year old loves bar fight though
Forgot about Drunken Bar Fight. I have the Halloween one and can vouch for it as well.
Skyrim can almost be modded like Skyrim SE, so that's a huge plus. There are also VR specific mods that give you a more natural VR feel, like HIGGS (Haptic Overhaul), VRIK (giving you a body) and PLANCK (gives you the ability to interact more freely and directly with your environment) This definitely gives Skyrim the VR feel that it needs.
Having something like VR Weapon Throw also gives you a lot more options to play the game, adding thrown weapons and semi-medieval firearms. They don't make a lot of sense canonically, but the added gameplay value is tremendous.
Another Idea is to add a couple of "Survival Mode" mods, to make it truly immersive. Speaking of Immersion, you definitely should install as much graphical overhauls as your PC can handle, especially for NPCs and Items. You can handle muddy textures in the forest, but it's not pleasant to speak to a muddy textured face. Or looking at a sword that's just a blob of grey and shiny.
