Been having a ton of fun with Mortal Blitz, still need to check out Just In Time Incorporated and I'm deff gonna get Gunheart along with Trails of Cold Steel when I get home from work.
We should group up for a Co-Op game of Gunheart at some point if we can work around everyone's schedule.
I own pretty much every escape room game on Steam so I'll install a few and let you know how they are, just haven't gotten to them all yet since there are almost too many good VR games >.>

Vanishing Realms has great melee combat and is a very immersive setting. Feels a bit like Grimrock.
lone echo is really done in terms being atmospheric and immersive. It's not an rpg though.
only rpg styled game i've got right now is mage's tale(no sword fighting unfortunately), whilst a bit on the cartoony side its quite well done. I often forget how cool looking the dungeon walls are with water trickling down them whenever i jump back in.
There are a few in Early Access on steam, things like
Dungeon Knight
Ranger Lost Tribe (basically a free demo/concept of their full game)
Karnage
But the best melee combat comes from GORN but its not really an RPG or very atmospheric

I usually avoid VR games that don't have motion controller support so I don't really know what's good and what isn't.
The only game that comes to mind is Narcosis, if you like underwater/deep sea with a bit of tension (I've read they are trying to get motioncontrollers to work in that game too, might have to give it a replay if they are successful)

The ones that i can think of right now are:
Chronos (uses xbox controller)
edge of nowehere (insomniac games) -i think this xbox controller
dirt rally (im assuming you already have this)
Alien Isolation VR mod
Mage's tale can be played seated and standing but requires touch controllers.
Gun heart can be played seated but requires touch controllers.
Lone echo can be played seated (but you'll be missing out on alot of immersion) but also requires touch controllers.
You're super limited since you sold the touch controllers unfortunately since some seated games use the touch controller when its first person based.
TriDef VR is officially out
No longer restricted to MSI hardware. Has a seven day trial and can be licensed for $20/year. There are other options to play flatscreen games on a suspended screen, but the draw here is stereo 3D for supported games.

Sweet! I can't wait to try it... although, I hate that it is a subscription thing. I'd rather buy it outright/lifetime license than this 6/12 month stuff.

Thumper
Elite Dangerous (recommend a HOTAS, but I played with a controller for about a year before upgrading)
Race the Sun
Other than that I only play motion controller games. Thumper is great though, get that!
This looks cool. The artificial movement solution seems like it'd be really comfortable.

Sublevel Zero Redux is a good one. It's basically Decent with some rougelike elements in it.
You mean, all those supported games are 3D compatible ?
Same. Though at least they have a trial, unlike vorpX.
So they say. Anything not on the supported list will just show up as a 2D screen.

So I installed TriDef VR... very underwhelmed so far. I tried Bioshock, Bioshock Infinite, StarWars Battlefront, Battlefield 1..... It's basically a big floating screen (ala Virtual Desktop/BigScreen Beta/all other copycats) With 3D effects enabled so some stuff "pops out at you" a bit. Is is all there is? I tried VorpX back in 2014 and 2016 and it was full VR 3D integrated (not the best, but much better than TriDef so far) I'd install VorpX and try it again, but having to deal with emailing them everytime I install that software is just a pain.

Bummer. Because It's not worth it at all and the frame rate is really really bad right now. There is a weird jelly affect sometimes when you move your head around and other just weird issues..like, even though it says its rendering the headset at 90FPS and the game at well above 120fps it has had frame drops, like barely unplayable when you enlarge the virtual screen... Also before anyone says it's my PC, it's not, 7700K @4.8ghz, 32GB, GTX 1080ti.
I'm really glad it has a free trial because having a virtual screen that has a 3D effect is not worth even the $20 a year asking price. I will say this though, the start screen of Bioshock Infinte did look really neat, with a almost diorama effect, but loading up those games did not do anything for me at all.
They're wave based survival games where you shoot monsters, the VR game has a campaign though.
i've been doing reading on the game. My main issue was that it's being shown off with teleport gameplay only. It does have free locomotion though which is good. Also since its a campaign based game, I'm tempted to buy it but I want to know the campaign length first.
EDIT: a dev said in one interview that it has a 4-6 hour campaign with puzzle solving, survival horror. The game doesn't have manual reloading, instead I believe its similar to robo recall. a gun always spawns at your hips if you drop it.
still on the fence for this, would have preferred it to be a longer campaign and its the same price as arizona sunshine which i also passed on for being completable in 3-4 hours.
Gate of nowhere looked interesting, but it seems like its quite rough compared to more recent early access games. Also the movement is teleport based, where you have to wait for a ghost version of yourself to walk to the point you want to go to so its a delayed teleport system. The devs did mention full locomotion in a later patch for the game though.
Rise of insanity seems to be pretty short but the pricing seems to take that into account.
I don't think it was posted in here, but there is now a discord for VR GAF:

Rangi is now on Steam looks kinda cool.

Also played The Red Stare quite a bit. I was always saying a Rear Window type of game would be cool in VR. What could be improved is how the NPCs walk about the house and the back alley, it all looks a little bit too random and thus unnatural. I have also trouble discerning them which I partly blame that random behaviour for.
As the game is for free I can look past these things tho.
It's not a fully realized Rear Window VR game as I would have imagined it, I'm not sure I could design such a game myself but I feel like you need binoculars and a crime/murder story for it

Just got the Acer Mixed Reality Headset in as well at work along with the HP headset we got a few days ago.
Man inside-out positional tracking is crazy! I haven't noticed any latency walking around with these things on and have not been able to break them yet unless I cover both cameras. It's exciting to see that we're getting to this point where external sensors and such might not even be needed any more soon.
Have only tried both for a few hours, but I'm impressed with what both companies have been able to put out.

Inside-out tracking will make VR setups so much more simple, that's great that it seems to work well.
We haven't gotten the controllers in yet, but will post here impressions as soon as we do.

I think... the headset tracks the controllers? So you have to be looking at the controllers for them to track.
that sounds bad, really interested in Soi-Fong's impressions on them now.

Thats good to hear! I swear I read something somewhere that the headset does it too. Maybe its both! Thatd be slick!
Im gonna look up an in depth review of the these things later on tonight.

Wait. No I just looked it up and you were right the first time (LINK). The headset tracks the controllers as long as they're in view of the sensors (which apparently has a slightly larger FOV than your actual FOV).

So, my Rift + Touch pack arrived last night, and honestly I cannot believe how...indescribable it actually is. The "tutorial" that you play when setting up the rift is great fun. Downloaded Robo Recall as it was included and that blew my mind even more.
Having a hard time understanding just how the Touch controllers know when my finger is even near a button, let alone pushing it...
I can see this being something I get a lot of use out of for sure. Once Robo Recall has been done - I'll start working through the recommendations on here for various games. Got my eye on Superhot VR for certain.

Nice, yeah, VR is pretty hard to actually describe, it's just something you need to try for yourself to really understand how incredible it is.
As for the touch buttons, it's capacitave. SuperHot VR is really enjoyable too. I'd say stick with buying everything on Steam and only grabbing stuff on the oculus store for exclusive stuff.

Here's a teaser trailer for the Dead Effect 2 devs new game TAUCETI: Uknown Origin which they say will get VR support.
Yeah. Kinda bad. I've had had levels 50 that were playing like mentors though, but they were rare
