Here's a list of VR games I like.

As someone who owns way too many VR games, I'll just list some favorites off the top of my head.

WHAT AM I FORGETTING??

Skyrim and Fallout 4 are full-sized AAA titles that work well in VR.

Blade & Sorcery - sword fighting arena game

Gorn - Ridiculous comedy-violence

Beat Saber - the killer app for VR, slice colored arrow blocks to electronic beats

SUPERHOT VR - amazing bullet-time combat-puzzle game

Arizona Sunshine - Full-on zombie survival adventure, scares the daylights out of me

Jet Island - absolutely astonishing open-world movement adventure game, basically you are ironman + spiderman + silver surfer. Movement reminds me of TRIBES (you will need solid 'vr legs' to not puke)

SHOOTERS

Pavlov VR - This is Counter-Strike, but in VR. Best multiplayer title available IMO

Onward - This is ARMA, but in VR. Also a good multiplayer experience, excellent locomotion system

Zero Caliber - This is COD, but in VR. Its okay. Performance is a bit lacking

War Dust - This is Battlefield 2, but in VR. Pretty great

Stand Out - This is PUBG, but in VR, and even jankier than real PUBG

Contractors - This is more like Bad Company? Solid title

SIMULATORS

DCS World - Jet planes and whatnot

VTOL - full cockpit simulation, really well done

War Thunder - Full-on F2P dogfighting game in WW2

Ultrawings - enjoyable flight-sim lite, learn the basics with virtual cockpit controls

Elite Dangerous - massive space-sim, daunting learning curve. Pretty much requires a Joystick/HOTAS setup

House of the Dying Sun - not exclusively VR, much more arcadey than ED, works great with twin stick controller

Vox Machinae - This is Mechwarrior, but in VR

DRIVING

Project Cars 2 - Great performance, impressive physics

Assetto Corsa - Awesome graphics and cockpits, janky UI in VR though

Trackmania Turbo - Its Trackmania, but in VR

V-Racer Hoverbike - F-zero meets mario kart on hover-bikes? Its fun

OTHER STUFF

Overload - This is Descent (6-dof flying corridor shooter), but in VR (motion sickness simulator)

Rec Room - Its free, has lots of mini-games, and you can talk shit to children

SportsBar VR - has the best VR billiards, as well as darts, air hockey, and more. Also cross-platform with PSVR

Star Trek Bridge Crew - play out traditional Star Trek missions with your friends, also cross-platform

Tales of Glory - This is like Mount & Blade, but in VR. Kinda janky, bad physics and collisions, bad combat compared to Blade & Sorc, BUT it supports literally hundreds of simultaneous AI battling it out with you, which is fun

FLAT GAMES WITH VR MOD OR SUPPORT

Quake and Quake 2 - works incredibly well in VR, really fun

Doom 3 BFG edition - pretty impressive, crashes a lot, better than DOOM VFR imo

Alien: Isolation - No motion controllers, but holy hell this is scary in vr

Subnautica - No motion controllers, tracking is janky, but sense of scale and distance is great in VR

I'm probably forgetting a few things, but all of these are very playable and easy to recommend.
