Outer Wilds benefits from not being spoiled at all (seriously), so I'm going to speak at arm's length about it: This is a flatscreen game that can be modded to use motion controls using Raicuparta's excellent NomaiVR mod. I exclusively played it that way, and as a result, I remember this game as a series of in-person spaces I navigated through; a remarkable feature to add to a game that's been so frequently and glowingly compared to Myst. This game and its DLC would've already been all-timers for me, and VR has only elevated it; I'd rank it above Half-Life: Alyx as not just the most impressive VR game, but also the best argument yet for making VR versions of every game that takes place from a first-person perspective, at least for those who want it.

Be forewarned, this game was not graphically designed for VR and so requires a relatively modern video card to run smoothly; I played on a card equivalent to a 3060 Ti using FSR and had a pretty good time. It also uses smooth locomotion and contains 6DOF spaceflight, meaning you need to be used to VR to play.

Spoilers for Echoes of the Eye: The sequence in Endless Canyon after you turn on the bridge and have to run back through the room while someone's pursuing you, a room furnished for people twice your height. That's all.
