I play Eleven Table Tennis (as the table tennis clubs were closed due covid). That game is the best simulation game you can play today. The physics are very close to reality, so close that in-game and IRL skills are immediately transferable. The biggest issues of the game that I encounter are not with the game itself, but with the tracking limitations of the Rift S inside-out tracking.

I'm in no position to judge having played none, but I've heard glowing reviews for more than just Alyx but didn't commit any titles to memory since I'm not planning to be an early adopter.

However, some do admit current VR is heavily carried by the novelty of using your hands (much like the Wii's motion controls made many average games enjoyable while it was fresh).

Skyrim and Fallout 4 are breathtaking in VR.
