> It's a steep price for a niche with not a lot of games.

There are a lot of good games and unique experiences (Lone Echo). A lot of these games also get you moving i.e. you won't need to do cardio exercise if you play games. Many of these games aren't even considered fitness games

Batman

Beat Saber

Mother Gunship

Superhot

Pistol Whip

Gasland

Thrill of the Fight

Underdogs

Synth Riders

Guerilla Tag

Blade and Sorcery

Gorn

Les Mills Body Combat

FitXR

Creed

If you get a slip rig, just walking around Fallout VR or Skyrim VR will give you a lot of cardio while essentially enjoying a more immersive game than the flat screen version.

Name a popular flat screen game and there is likely a decent VR version. There are lots of good racing games and FPS's

Zero Caliber

Arizona Sunshine

Walking Dead Saints and Sinners

Bonelab

Pavlov

Breachers

Contractors

Into the Radius

Tactical Assault

It's also worth for having your own private movie theater. YouTube VR is great

There's a lot missing of games missing from my comment, and I didn't even touch on VR mods for games like Cyberpunk or even Zelda BOW

What your comment tells me is that you didn't really use VR for more than a few days.

I've never understood the whole VR game ecosystem. There is a handful of titles (outside of Half Life Alyx, which even then looks pretty shit and clunky) that are worth playing on VR.

Most are short bursts of fun and don't really have any moat.

There are a lot of titles that both look great and are fun, but you wouldn't know because you don't use VR. That doesn't included mods to existing games ever since Unreal made it easier to make most games, running on their engine, VR compatible. It also depends on whether you're using standalone or PCVR. Why critique something that you're not very familiar with?

VR still has a lot of problems. Some of which may never be solved, but lack of content is no longer a problem.

Pistol whip, beat saber and audio trip are in my rotation. Also I expect you to die I/II/III or whatever the numbering is.
