there are plenty of compelling games that VR either enables or augments out there. off the top of my head:

"job simulator" (yes) is enabled by both a VR headset, and VR controllers. you couldn't achieve the same without VR

"elite dangerous" is significantly improved with VR. pretty much anything with a cockpit would be improved, because you can look all around you. this one in particular is an amazing experience

*edit: there's also an abundance of VR storytelling that are exploring new ways of giving experience without the use of words, VR artwork where there no real point other than just to experience a world. there are a lot of REALLY cool, not just "for demo" experiences you can have on VR




I wouldn't want to play Elite Dangerous without VR, same for racing sims.

(I'm currently playing ED without VR since I lent my Oculus to a friend and I really miss it.)
