Aside of World of Warships and AC Origins, with the family away, I started sinking time into Hearts of Iron IV... it is like Civ used to be for me, last time I fired it up I played till 1 AM... Great game, finally a Paradox grand strategy I managed to get around to actually start learning the basics.
Angry Birds VR is fun, and Oculus actually suprised me to be plug&play months and updates later.
I still haven't tried others I picked up during Summer Sale, that is: Pavlov VR and AC Odyssey (will finish AC Origins Hidden Ones first, the main campiagn is done).
I also went all in with mods and stuff, but for me it was too intense, and natural locomotion on hillsides made me sick too - even though I am Elite SRV-proofed. Might give it another try.

Finally got around to giving Skyrim VR a proper go... it's been in my library since launch

I wanted to buy it because I liked their previous Van Helsing game but I'm still having doubts. I currently spend all my free time on Path of Exile. At first, it was like a Diablo-clone no-brainer to me, but then I got sucked into it. But the last league made the game harder at some point, but thanks to this I managed to make the Eternal labyrinth run. I think I'll order one run more soon.
I don't play many dungeon crawler-type games. I got this on a Steam sale, and as I enjoy the 40K universe it's fun in that context. There's a lot of DLC that I'm a bit suspicious about as some aspects (crafting, etc) are a bit grindy in vanilla.
I did play a PoE for a while years ago. It was an utter time-sink so I uninstalled it once I got bored of it the first time and have not loaded it since! Got the Baldur s Gate games too somewhere on CD but that's about it.
I miss Skyrim VR. I sent back my PSVR after about a month due to dead pixels, but I really enjoyed being "in" Skyrim during that time (once I got past the nausea). I didn't replace the PSVR because the resolution was too low for my liking, but at least I got to experience it!Finally got around to giving Skyrim VR a proper go... it's been in my library since launch

Very pretty too, as I've gone down the rabbit hole of mods...
My res is okay, Im using a Pimax 5k+
Lots of Euro Truck and American Truck 2 at the moment, actually testing some map mods. Open Russia for ETS2 is very well made, its stand alone and easy to install:

For ATS I`m using Coast to Coast:

I tried ATS, but for some reason VR graphics look much worse than the 2d version. Otherwise I'd enjoy the scenery passing by.
Got myself the Empires of the Undergrowth, yesterday and it turned into an all-nighter.
Really captivating game.
Strategy/builder/manager of an ant colony.
Still in development with only about a quarter of the story mode and overall content, but it has really fun freeplay (sandbox) and is a ton of fun if you enjoy watching ants scurrying around.
Plus it has an amazing narrator, whose urgent and serious tone of delivering messages like "Intruders broke into the nest. The eggs must be protected!" or "A battle occurred!" is just hilarious.

Few days ago I found Warframe. Not exactly my kind of game I thought, but gave it a shot. And I’m having a great time! Being a badass space ninja with lots of badass weapons and powers kicking bad guys asses! And spaceships and stuff!
Just beware the grind. If you thought Elite is a grind you ain't seen nothing, yet.
I played Warframe for several years, but ultimately gave up because I reached a point where every next thing I decided to do took literally weeks to grind for.
Giving A Plague Tale Innocence a go.
Graphics are absolutely insanely beautiful and feels truly next-generation. And the actors, especially Amicia's voice actress who's 17 years old, are really great.
But oh my frikkin God the game mechanics feels so 90s!! Its frustrating how a game can recieve so much praise just because of its presentation without considering the most simplistic mechanics. I dont even feel I'm playing a game. It's more like I'm following strict instructions and you cant do anything except gladly accept it.
Think Last of Us but with an AI that is laughable...

Î didnt mind it as much as ED - at least I get to decide what content I tackle and OP stuff doesnt spawn randomly on me.Just beware the grind. If you thought Elite is a grind you ain't seen nothing, yet.

Always meant to pick up Sid Meier’s Beyond Earth, but do I really need yet another game in my back catalog?
Yes, I do!
I'm sad that they didn't do a second expansion for Beyond Earth. The game was flawed but had potential. Really hope they do a follow up game where they fix the issues and continue to support it.
I think Beyond Earth's biggest flaw, was being a game about colonizing alien planets, but ending up playing exclusively against other humans... Well except the space barbarians of the early game. The only actual difference between Beyond Earth and normal Civilization games was the scenery. And even the scenery wasn't that much different.
The original SMAC was like this too. But alien threat was more imminent and the whole thing was better narrated, imo.
